Material Variance Account is Missing

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 55

Hi

I have inventory item MB89613, unit cost $13.74, costing method Average.

I invoiced an assembly item FRM00001, which has MB89613 as an assembly BOM.

I create a new purchase order with MB89613, unit cost $15, release, and create whse. receipt.

In the warehouse receipt, I post receipt and get the error:   "Material Variance Account is missing in Inventory Posting Setup"

I go back to the purchase order, reopen, change the unit cost to $13.74.

In warehouse receipt, I post receipt and received qty successful.

Why is it not allowing me to receive at unit cost $15?   Do I really need a variance account to get this done?

Items I don't use for assembly, I'm able to receive at different cost without the error.

I have the same question (0)

    Hello,

    What version of BC are you using? I want to recreate and test a Purchase Item - Average Cost added to the Assembly Item - Average Cost.

    Thanks,

    Steve
