Inventory Transfer CostAmountAdjustment field

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 25

Hi,

I'm trying to investigate why "Cost amount " column in the inventory transaction is 0 for a transfer journal transaction. I saw that the cost is the result of the sum of the fields CostAmountPosted and CostAmountAdjustment. In my case CostAmountPosted = 137.13 and CostAmountAdjustment = -137.13 (((137.13) + (-137.13)) = 0). 

Where the CostAmountAdjustment value came from on a Transfer Journal?

    There are some caveats with the moving average. It is taking the cost amount known at time of the product receipt. If the PO price is zero and the items (or part of them) were consumed before the invoice, you can indeed have this type of transactions. I have not seen this scenario on transfer orders before.

    Probably you can check the behavior of moving average using the documentation and see if you can find anything related: docs.microsoft.com/.../about-moving-average

    Hi André,

    Thanks for your quick response.

    Can you tell which exact inventory costing mode you are using?

    Moving Average

    What other transactions were created for this item?

    Sales Orders, Purchase Orders, Inventory Adjustment

    Can you check if the adjustment came from an inventory closing or recalculation?

    That is exactly what I want to identify, from what transaction the adjustment came from. Do you know how?
