Standard Cost Rounding Variance Issue

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hello Everyone,

We have an unusual situation on our hand and it is related to Standard cost.

To give you some background,

Company is using standard cost, the Inventory GL $ value has not match the inventory on Hand (tried all Inventory related reports in AX) at the end of every month. Posting Profiles have been verified

|

The way Standard Cost should work is 

New item A: $10 - There should be no GL or Inventory $ value as we do not have QTY.

Movement Journal adds QTY 2 = $10 (STC) x 2 (QTY)= $20 - GL$: 20 & Inventory$: 20

PO adds QTY 8 $10 (STC) x 8 (QTY)= $80 - GL$: 100 & Inventory$: 100

STC Increases to $11: System creates a transaction for $10 - GL$: 110 & Inventory$: 110

Posting Type - Inventory, inventory receipt : 500120 - Product Cost = $ -10

Posting Type - Inventory Cost revaluation : 160100 - Inventory= $10

STC Decrease to $9: System creates a transaction for $-20 - GL$: 90 & Inventory$: 90

Posting Type - Inventory, inventory receipt : 500120 - Product Cost = $ 20

Posting Type - Inventory Cost revaluation : 160100 - Inventory= $ -20

Issue: AX is taking PO QTY and Movement QTY as two different. AX should not create a Rounding Variance transaction.

New item A: $10 - There should be no GL or Inventory $ value as we do not have QTY.

Movement Journal adds QTY 2 = $10 (STC) x 2 (QTY)= $20 - GL$: 20 & Inventory$: 20

PO adds QTY 8:  $10 (STC) x 8 (QTY)= $80 - GL$: 100 & Inventory$: 100

STC Increases to $11: System creates a transaction for $10 - GL$: 102 & Inventory$: 110

Posting Type - Inventory, inventory receipt : 500120 - Product Cost = $ -10

Posting Type - Rounding Variance : 500120 - Product Cost = $ 8 (PO QTY 8 * $1)

Posting Type - Inventory Cost revaluation : 160100 - Inventory= $ 2 (MV QTY 2 * $1)

STC Decrease to $9: System creates a transaction for $-20 - GL$: 112 & Inventory$: 90

Posting Type - Inventory, inventory receipt : 500120 - Product Cost = $ 20

Posting Type - Rounding Variance : 500120 - Product Cost = $ -16 (PO QTY 8 * $-2)

Posting Type - Inventory Cost revaluation : 160100 - Inventory= $ -4 (MV QTY 2 * $-2)
