Financial negative for Standard cost items

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Trying to understand the logic in enforcing "financial negative" for standard cost items.

If the item model group is Standard costing, then the issue cost is to use standard cost irrespective of stock on hand.

Therefore, do not understand why the system will complain when we post a sales order for a product when the PO has been receipted and not invoiced.

As an example, I create a standard cost item with financial negative disallowed. I receipt the product but not have recorded the vendor invoice.

I am able to create a corresponding sales order and perform picking slips and delivery order, but unable to invoice as the system complains "item consumption for 6.00 cannot be updated because the cost price is known only for 0.00 in stock."

if the item is to use standard costing and if I am comfortable allowing financial negative, why should the system still try to look for cost (when standard cost has been activated for the items)

Any insights on this would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

    Hi,

    In general you are right but what will happen if you have price changes?

    Then your financial inventory value for that item might temporarily get into the negative and you will be stuck without the parameter enabled.
