Cost price on Order

Posted on by Tiina Ward

Hello,

I'm struggling to understand where the Sales Invoice Unit Cost figure is coming from (when using Order-Shipment-Invoice process flow). The environment does not have Automatic Cost Posting turned on. Initially it seemed the system was using an average cost at the time of order placement, but further testing has debunked that theory. It is also not the FIFO cost.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,

Tiina

When you ship/invoice the order, its going to use the Unit Cost field on the Item Card. When you run the Adjust Cost - Item Entries, its going to adjust the unit cost it used to the FIFO cost. Hope this helps as well - Unit Cost Fields on the Item Card in Dynamics 365 Business Central - Dynamics 365 Business Central Insights (valentincastravet.com)

Hi, In addition, you can refer to the following diagram provided by Microsoft, which is very easy to understand.
