AX 2009: Change in inventory value in cost accounting does not match with P&L statement

AX 2009: Change in inventory value in cost accounting does not match with P&L statement

The reason is that a few P&L accounts were not activated in the cost accounting modul as cost catagories. And this was done because of a known issue in AX 2009 that allocations with „Line value“ as calculation value are not working with iteration, but only with „Total value“.
However „Total value“ of for example a cost center is not what we want to allocate. We only want to allocate a certain line value of our cost distribution sheet.

Therefore only the at first sight really required accounts were activated as cost categories.
WIP accounts for surcharges and resource postings are P&L accounts (not balance sheet accounts) in our scenario and also the surcharge and resourse issue accounts are P&L accounts. All these accounts are shown in the general ledger P&L under inventory changes (according to nature of expense method) but not in the cost accounting as cost categories.

Are those kind of issue accounts normaly considered in cost accounting and should we aktivate them as cost categories and post-entry the posting with the corresponding periodic job in cost accounting?

I would be grateful for some general advice.

    Hello Juergen,

    If some of your P&L accounts are not included as cost categories in the cost accounting module the values you get in the cost accounting module and the one's you get in GL will differ as you noticed. If you want to have both modules matched, you need to setup/activate those accounts in your cost accounting module.

    I do not know the exact reason / background why the setup was done this way but assume that the accounts that were left out of the cost accounting module represent a kind of secondary cost items. That is, a kind of allocation that has already been done outside the cost accounting module. Given my assumption is correct, those costs should not be included in another periodic cost allocation job in cost accounting as they are already allocated. Yet, all depends on the nature of your costs and what is recorded on the accounts that were initially left out of the cost Accounting module. Hope it helps. Best regards,

    Ludwig
