Unit cost in Average Cost Calc. Overview

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 10

Hi,

I have two questions:

1. Would someone happen to know why an item's unit cost in the overview "Average Cost Calc. Overview" is "Cost Amount (Expected)" + "Cost Amount (Actual)"?

2. Furthermore, I wonder where the -48.480,00 comes from now that both the "Cost Amount (Expected)" and "Cost Amount (Actual)" are of the same value?

I ask because we expect the Cost Amount (Expected) from the purchase receipt to be cancelled out with the Cost Amount (Actual) on the purchase invoice and not just a part of the cost.

    Hello,

    If you do not get further traction from the communities, then do raise a support request via your CSP.

    Thanks

    It seems that the 2nd Value entry Expected Cost is one third of the 1st VE.

    Maybe you have received an item with 3 quantity and you have invoiced one of those with the invoice of the 2nd VE?

    What you are showing in the Value Entries is definitely NOT how standard BC works. The total cost expected should have been reversed. It would be good to see your purchase order lines or if the PO is gone the Receipt and Invoice lines.

    Do you have an add-ons?
