Unexpected Inventory Cost Revaluation Entries When Uploading Opening Inventory (Standard Costing)

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 93
Hi,
 
We’re setting up a new legal entity in D365FO using Standard Costing, and I’m currently uploading opening inventory quantities and costs.
 
Here are the steps I followed:
1. Imported and activated standard costs per item (calculated from the legacy system).
2. Imported and posted a new movement journal to upload opening inventory. (active standard cost price applied)
3. Reviewed the voucher generated and noticed unexpected accounting entries.
 
Voucher example:
 
Inventory                               XXX  
   Offset Account                       XXX  
Inventory                               0.01  
   Inventory cost revaluation           0.01  
Inventory cost revaluation              0.01  
   Inventory                            0.01  

The first two lines are expected and correct. However, I don’t understand why the system generated the additional entries involving the Inventory cost revaluation account with small rounding differences (e.g., 0.01).
As far as I know, the Inventory cost revaluation account is typically used when a new costing version is activated to revalue existing on-hand inventory. However, in this case, there was no on-hand inventory prior to posting the movement journal.
 
Question:
Why is the system generating these revaluation entries when uploading opening inventory for standard cost items?
Is there a configuration or rounding logic that could be causing this behavior?
Any insights or feedback would be greatly appreciated.
