    RE: Physical Inventory Journals - error in Qty. (Calculated)

    Hello,

    This is not a mistake. The Calculate Inventory on the Physical Inventory Journal (and new Physical Inventory Order) does not allow for a back-dated calculation of quantity on hand. In certain versions, this was allowed. However, a change was introduced to no longer filter the calculation due to the fact that costing was incorrectly calculated because Item Application during posting was based on existing Item Ledger Entries regardless of posting date. So, even if Calculate Inventory was back-dated from March 31 to Feb 28, for example, all of the ILE posted since July 1 would still be considered for Item Application and would lead to costing discrepancies because application was not limited to entries posted up to Feb 28.

    The challenge is that not allowing a back-dated calculation doesn't take into account the reality of managing a Physical Inventory process for the accounting and warehouse departments. The process takes time and may not be done immediately at the end of a period. To not be able to backdate the calculation is fundamentally an incorrect conclusion and too limiting.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks,

    Steve
