Hi Guys,

Can anyone help? I'm currently having trouble with cost adjustments.
So, the adjust cost item for the April 2024 transaction is showring up again in June 2026, even though I’ve enabled the daily cost adjustment schedule and the adjustment status always shows as successful. But why is this item now showing up as not yet adjusted? I checked the transactions in both the Item Ledger Entries and Value Entries, and there are no new transactions using that item. Can anyone help shed some light on this? And what is the proper way to check this?

Thanks

Cost adjustments aren't always isolated to a specific entry. Was there any item charges assigned to that entry? I'd check the value entries for that April 2024 transaction. You can look at the item ledger entry and then review the value entries for that Item Ledger Entry No. An item ledger entry can have many value entries associated with it that could come later. If the original item ledger entry is being posted to for cost adjustments you can see this happen frequently.

Best,

Hello,
this can happen even if there are no new Item Ledger Entries for that item, because cost adjustment works mainly from Value Entries and cost application chains, not only from “new item transactions.” If an old inbound/outbound chain from April 2024 was affected later by cost changes, revaluation, item charge, application correction, rounding, or a closed inventory/posting period rule, BC can create or require new adjustment value entries in the next open period, so seeing the effect again in June 2026 does not automatically mean the original April transaction was newly posted. The proper check is: open Inventory Cost Adjustment, filter the item, review the adjustment status/errors, then check Value Entries for that item with fields like Adjusted Cost, Cost Posted to G/L, Cost Amount (Actual/Expected), Valued Quantity, Item Ledger Entry No., and especially any adjustment entries with posting date in June 2026 but linked back to old entries. Also check Inventory Periods and General Ledger Allow Posting From, because if the original period is closed, BC posts the adjustment in the next allowed open period.

Hi Team,

Thank you.

Attached is a screenshot of the data I have. All the transactions were posted in 2025, but when I checked today, the cost for this item had not yet been adjusted.

Hi,

This can happen when Business Central recalculates a cost chain. Even if there are no new transactions on that specific item, a later revaluation, item application, transfer, production posting, or backdated transaction linked to the original entry can trigger the April 2024 transaction to be adjusted again. I would suggest checking the related Value Entries and Item Application Entries for any recent adjustments or changes, as a successful cost adjustment job only confirms that the process completed successfully—it doesn't necessarily mean no further adjustments were identified afterward.

Hi,

even if there is no new transaction on that item itself, the cost adjustment can still touch it through the application chain. Adjust cost goes entry by entry following what is applied together, so if some other entry linked to this one moved, or a revaluation posted, it flag your April 2024 entry as not adjusted again. Very common also when the inbound is not Completely Invoiced yet, then expected cost can still change and it keep coming back every run.

About the June 2026 date, that is most likely because April 2024 is in a closed inventory period. The adjustment normally post with the date of the original value entry, but if that period is closed or outside your Allowed Posting dates, BC roll it to the next open date, so it land in June. Not a new transaction.

So open the Item Ledger Entry and check Cost is Adjusted, Completely Invoiced and Applied Entry to Adjust. If Completely Invoiced is No that is usually the root.

Hope this helps
