Hello Professionals,

While working in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, I came across two fields on the Inventory Setup page—"Cost Adjustment Logging" and "Disable Cost Adjustment Signals Logging". I would appreciate it if someone could help me understand the functional use of these fields and the scenarios in which enabling or disabling them would be beneficial.

If you have any real-time examples, kindly share them to help deepen my understanding.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Regards,
Mansi Soni

Cost Adjustment Logging on Inventory Setup

Hello @YUN ZHU & @Gerardo Rentería García,

Thanks for providing me required resources for Cost Adjustment Logging but still I am unable to understand the practical use of Disable Cost Adjustment Signals Logging field in version 26.

If anyone can provide me detail explanation on it, then it would be really helpful!

Cost Adjustment Logging on Inventory Setup

Hi Mansi,

Great question! Here's a breakdown of those two fields on the Inventory Setup page in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central:

Cost Adjustment Logging

This setting enables the system to log automatic cost adjustments. When turned on, Business Central keeps a record of adjustments made to item costs—especially useful when late invoices or changes to cost flow affect inventory valuation.

Use Case:

If you receive items today but post the vendor invoice later with a different cost, the system will adjust the inventory value retrospectively. With this option enabled, you’ll be able to track exactly what was changed and why—very helpful for audit trails or reconciliation.

Disable Cost Adjustment Signals Logging

This setting prevents logging of internal cost adjustment signals—the flags the system uses to mark items that need cost adjustments (before the adjustment actually runs). Disabling it reduces system overhead, especially in environments with high transaction volumes.

Use Case:

Imagine you're running thousands of inventory transactions per day. Logging every signal might slow things down or flood the logs unnecessarily. Disabling this option can improve performance without affecting actual adjustments.

Hi,

Which version of Business Central are you referring to? Currently, there is only one field - Cost Adjustment Logging if you can share the version and a screenshot of the field on the page.

Thanks,

KP
