Negative Gross Profit Error

Posted on by RH-18021308-0 47
Hi,
 
Somehow on the posting of a sales invoice (manually through an SO) it has given rise to an extremely high negative gross profit, the unit cost for the item is around 600 but pulled in a random 5k figure. I have tried to post a credit memo by copy document which does pull same figure in but actually makes the situation worse.
 
I need to try amend this as it currently shows this is a loss. Is there any way this can be over written or updated?

    You can't directly edit the Unit Cost on a posted sales invoice in Business Central; the high negative Gross Profit is likely due to incorrect costing. To fix it, either create a Sales Credit Memo to reverse the invoice and re-post with correct cost, or use the Item Revaluation Journal to adjust the cost of the specific item ledger entry, then run "Adjust Cost - Item Entries" to update the cost and profit calculations.

    Hello,
     
    You can Post the Item Reclassification Journal for Update the Unit Cost then then run "Adjust Cost - Item Entries" to update the cost and profit calculations.
