Posted on by 822

Hello,

Then i posted the following transactions:

    Hello,

    Please go to released products >> Manage costs section and make sure Latest cost price is un-checked

    If this flag is checked as shown below, system will populate the cost price field with the latest cost price.

    As per above example it is 4.

    what is the cost price expected and D365FO cost price on the date?

    every date would get it's own cost price on costing model as Weighted Average Date

    see if my blog helps

    Hello,

    The automatic updation of cost price in the Inventory adjustment journal  is not dependent on whether the inventory  closing / adjustment is run or not.

    The average cost price as per your calculation is 4.6,

    Try to make an adjustment journal with -ve quantity (-1 )

    In this case, you will not have the ability to edit the cost price and cost amount, may be it will be auto defaulted to 7 as per your observation.

    However if you post the journal, and review the inventory transaction. It  will be issued at 4.6. ( Average of all transactions contributing to cost E.g:- Production, Purchase orders, etc. )

    If the quantity is +ve (1 ), we do have the ability  to change the cost price.

    As we had the latest cost price check before >> please review  Item price under the Manage cost action pane.

    You might find some entries in the active price section, which would be responsible for the auto defaulting of cost price.

    Hello Kaushik,

    you are right that with -ve i am not able to change the cost populated which is 7.

    and i am able to change the cost if +ve, however when i post the journal D365 is not updating the real average cost, it remains 7.

    BR,

    David

    Hello David,

    My Latest cost price was checked and i created the below transactions

    pastedimage1590645226274v6.png

    As per the above data latest cost price is 200/10 = 20

    Cost price is 19.09 in the Inventory on-hand screen

    Now when i unchecked the latest cost price check box from the released product and created a adjustment journal

    The system still auto defaults the cost price to 20 ( irrespective whether quantity is +ve or -ve)

    However, if quantity is -ve and you post the journal and review the item transactions, you can see the issue is by 19.09 ( the average cost price )

    Hello Kaushrik,

    thanks for your reply.

    So you mean that only -ve will carry the average cost, but for +ve it will not right?

    When adjusting stock usually system should keep the same cost; so i need to go to item card and check the the cost price and copy it to +ve line to keep the same cost.

    BR,

    David

    Hello David,

    While posting the Inventory adjustment journal

    For -ve quantity the system will always post with the average cost price at the time of issue.

    For +ve quantity the system will post with the value that is keyed in in the cost price field.

    pastedimage1590752067400v3.png

    You can enter a default cost price in the released product master, 

    pastedimage1590751460324v1.png

    Let us say, We created a new item, Mentioned the default cost price as 10.00 (Latest cost price is un-checked)

    create a few PO transactions

    PO 1 :- 1 @ 10

    PO 2 :- 1 @  15

    Hence the on hand value of this items comes to (10+15)/2 = 12.5. (this is the cost price mentioned in the inventory on-hand screen )

    Now , If we try to adjust a quantity, 

    If we make an entry of +1 or -1 cost price will default to 10.00 ( picks from the Released product master)

    If the quantity is +ve, the inventory transaction will also be posted with the value keyed in the adjustment journal ( in our case +1 @ 10 )

    If the quantity is -ve the inventory transaction will be posted with the average cost price ( in our case -1 @ 12.5 )

    Thanks, Kaushik

    negative qty is always based on weighted average at that point in time while

    + qty uses default cost price on item or costing version
