Rebates

Good day,
 
Currently rebates are dealt with in this manner -
1. Rebate is received from the supplier.
2. Inventory adjusts out quantity at the actual cost.
3. Inventory adjusts in quantity at the discounted cost.
 
Finance would then match off the difference via AP. It's dealt with like this to facilitate the reduced price flows down to the items.
 
 
This is what the Item Ledger has

I've been tasked to figure out why the 8916.61 is there in the posting for the ADJ152, this was done first. You would notice the positive adjustment is on ADJ153 which was posted afterwards. I don't think BC will just come up with an entry there has to be some input.
Any insights is appreciated and my apologies if I'm reading this incorrectly.

    That is how the system posts inventory entries. It first uses the average unit cost on the item card, then adjusts it to the actual cost based on the costing method you are using.
     
    In this case, it looks like $233,474.90 was the item’s average unit cost on the item card at the time of the transaction, and $8,916.61 was the adjustment needed to bring the cost to -$224,558.29.
     
    Also, I'd use item charges to post a rebate for the item. I wrote a blog post about it here. It's easier than your current process.

    Good day,
     
    Thank you for your response, I have your articles and yes, it's much easier and transparent. Question, will it achieve the same results of reducing the cost of the items. This is something bought from a supplier.
     
    Inventory would have used this method before what would have caused this additional entry and how can it be fixed?
     
    Thanks
     
    Regards
