Inventory Valuation report

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 6

Hi!

I have a customer who is trying to run an inventory valuation report.
They have discovered that there are differences in some of their accounts. Is it possible to see when in time these differences have occurred or should they use a different report for this?

Best regards, 
Eva

    Hi, As far as I know, there is no easy way to do this. The data of the Inventory Valuation report comes from Value Entry. If there is a discrepancy, you need to find the item, find the detail lines, and analyze the reason.
    Hope other experts can give you better advice.

    Thanks.

    Step 1 - Check Direct Posting on the GL Accounts, verify they are turned off

    Step 2 - Check GL accounts for entries made 1) system created entry = no and 2) source code = genjnl. Both of these mean that the inventory subledger was bypassed.

    Step 3 - Does the Inventory to GL Reconcile report for the date in question have values in the Inv. Value to be Posted column? If so you have adjust costs to be run whether you post to the date in question or to current date can be controlled in General Ledger Setup

    Step 4 - Review Inventory Posting Setup and General Posting Setup to make sure that you are accounts setup as required by the system. Except for COGS interim, no inventory accounts in any other fields in General Posting Setup and in Inventory Posting Setup only GL accounts.

    Step 5 - Are you using Expected Cost, what account are you posting expected costs to?

    Step 6 - You might have to compare receipt dates to invoice dates. If you receive on 7/31 but post the invoice to 8/1, you will have a difference. Control this by closing the allow from/to dates quicker.

    Step 7 - There are other variables, you need to contact your partner or a NAV expert.

    Dear Eva,

    To spot when these differences occurred, you have to 'trap' the transactions by filtering using different date filters starting from inception. For example, run the G/L from inception to 31/01/2022 and do same for the Inventory Valuation Report. If there are no differences, move to the next month and continue until you detect when the difference started.

    One you identify the period when the difference started, for instance 30/06/2022, switch to daily filtering. Filter from inception to each day in June, 2022 until you trap the transactions. Navigate and see what went wrong.

    It is a painful exercise, but it works.
