Dear All,
Hope all is well.
I would like to ask you how I can use periodic inventory vs. perpetual inventory methods in business central.
Kind Regards,
Hi, as far as I know, these two concepts are not clearly defined in BC.
You can define costing method on the item card.
And define the point in time for cost calculation in Inventory Setup.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.
