Hi!

Someone could explain me difference between Unit cost and Last Direct Cost? For me Unit Cost is Cost of items valuated with Costing Method defined, and depends on quantities and prices for final value.

But, Last Direct Cost when and why is updated?

TIA!

In short it could be explained like this:

Unit Cost = all Inventory value for this item / Quantity

Last Direct Cost = Last purchase cost for this item

In other Costing Methods the calculation of Unit Cost might be different or fixed.

But this last cost is updated with last purchase? Is not happening and I don't know how to fix it, is there any way?
