Hi all, Can anyone give me a simple explanation of why this needs to be run?

Generally the Cost adjustment routine would lock Item Ledger and Value entries and would prevent anything item-related to be posted during the adjustment. Therefore it's recommended to run it after working hours.

Hi Marley,
When you run Adjust cost report system creates Value entries for Item ledger entries.
As result you can check Amount fields in Item ledger entry (these fields are flowfields by Value entries)
Hi, thanks for reply, does there need to be no corresponding transactions in the system while this routine is running? So nothing is hitting the ILE etc
The simple explanation is...
When you create an order (such as a purchase order) what you're going to pay for the purchased items can be put on the purchase order but the system doesn't really know the actual cost of what you will pay until the vendor invoices you. So the system puts in a place holder amount called 'expected cost'.
Then when you get invoiced by the vendor, the system can go and match up the actual amount paid with what you thought you were going to pay to see if there is a difference.
The 'Adjust Cost - Item Entries' process matches those up. If the amount is different than you thought (if expected cost is different than actual cost) then it puts the difference into a variance account.
Generally, many people are working in your company with ERP solution; they post different types of documents, and not all of them are posted in chronological order. To ensure that all the items cost has been posted and processed in a correct way, you run this job to allow system verify all the sequence of transactions and adjust the cost transactions.
