Item card unit cost not updated as FIFO

Hi, May I check are there any setting which I should turn on in order to see the correct unit cost reflecting on the item card. 

Currently my costing method is FIFO, but the unit cost will always shows 50.00 even though my units price of 50.00 had fully sold

    Hi,

    The first thing I would check is the option below in the Inventory Setup

    If this is set to anything other than "Always" it could be you need to run the "Adjust Cost - Item Entries" batch job to update the costs on the item. (also your screen shot shows "Cost is Adjusted" as off which does suggest the "Adjust Cost - Item Entries" needs running)

    FYI, I've also found the "Unit Cost" on the Item card displays an average cost even though the item is FIFO. I blogged about this behaviour in this article http://thedynamicsexplorer.com/2020/03/26/dynamics-365-business-central-a-walk-through-of-unit-cost-fifo-items-and-the-automatic-cost-adjustment-option/

    Hope this helps

    Thanks

    Gavin
