Exclude expected cost from unit cost calculation ( Average costing method)

Posted on by Omar_Berk 45

Hello,

Is it possible to exclude expected cost from unit cost calculation ( Average costing method)

Dynamics BC calculates the unit cost by finding the Value Entries for the item and then adds up the Cost Amount (Expected) and Cost Amount (Actual) to get the total cost. It then adds up the Item ledger Entry Quantity and then divides the total of the costs by the total of the Item Ledger Entry Quantity to get the unit cost.

 

Thanks

    You can chose in the setup if the expected cost should be posted or not. But i have not yet tried to see if that changes the way the system calculate the average cost.

    But you could check out this documentation and try it in a sandbox:

    Hello,

    If I check the “Expected Cost displayed at g/l” box, the amount will be displayed in a temporary account. However, my question is how to exclude the expected cost from the calculation of the unit cost. We use the accounting period as the average cost period. That would inflate the costs.
