(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hi Experts,

Please help me on this issue. Finance side always ask why there is a cost even though report shows zero stock. I have no idea why such issue happen.

This report generate from path: Inventory and warehouse management > Reports > Status > Inventory value > Inventory value

There is value in column inventory: financial amount but no value in inventory: financial quantity.

    Check if there is any PO for this item with -negative quantity and it has a product receipt but not invoiced yet.

    Hello Effamira,

    There can be multiple reasons responsible for that.

    One reason that I have seen often is if you ship a product to a customer and get it returned by the customer later on with a different cost price because the issue and receipt (return) transactions were not market against each other.  

    There might also be an issue with how the inventory value report is setup and processed.

    For details, see for example:

    Best regards,

    Hi Ludwig,

    Thanks for your response.

    As the same issue still persist, I check the detail transaction for the affected items.

    For example in Inventory Value Report (Inventory: Financial quantity = 0, Inventory: Financial Amount = -304.01)StdCost2.JPG

    Std Cost, 01/04/2017-31/03/201812.8538

    Std Cost, 01/04/2018-31/03/201912.2482

    When I export the inventory transaction into Excel & calculate the Std Cost (see in Std Cost column), below is the data:

    **What I understand:

    1. Transaction until 19/3/2018 will follow Std Cost = 12.8238

    2. Transaction from 13/4/2018 will follow Std Cost = 12.2482

    #There will be a small variance to cost amount due to decimal place rounding issue. Am I correct?

    #Std Cost (6 d.p.) & Cost Amount (2 d.p.)


    However, why the Std Cost for 1st transaction on 13/4/2018 = 17.3683?

    StdCost2.JPG

    What I see from Update, there was an adjustment. Why system auto do the adjustment?

    Could you help me to clarify on this query? Thanks in advance.

    Hi,

    The adjustment that you see is most likely the result of a standard cost price adjustment for 'pending' transactions such as for example purchase orders that just have been created but not packing slip or invoice updated.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig
