Specific/Standard Item Cost Updates

Posted on by CuriousGeorge

Hi,

We use both standard costing and specific costing for items in our system. It has been set up like this for years. The issue is if we update a specific cost in the system using the item revaluation journals or any other method Business Central will update the costs on items that were previously sold as well. So, our COGS account, trials, etc will all have increased costs for sales that happened 6+ months ago. Is there a setting or some process/procedure that would cause all of these old already sold/allocated items to be subject to Business Central updating costs on them? From all I have read in researching the problem, cost changes should only be made to "available" inventory. Any help that can be provided would be appreciated.
