Cost Amount (Actual)

Hi!

Is there anyone in this forum that knows how Cost Amout (Actual) is calculated in Item Ledger Entries and can help me out?

The reason I ask is because I have a customer who experiences that there is a big difference between the calculated gross margin from the chart of accounts and the calculation made via Item Ledger Entries by including the Cost amount (Actual). This customer has NAV 2018, CU 08 (I coulnd't find the correct choice under 'Forum').

Cost amount (Actual) does not seem to be updated in a good way. This customer has a just-in-time flow on items that does not have large stocks. So when the price increases on these items it should take effect quite quickly but this does not happen. If we choose to update the unit cost on all lines when we complete a production order, only the latest purchase cost is updated, if you do the same run via the item table, the unit cost is updated immediately.

How can we ensure that the Cost amount (Actual) is correct so that this customer can do a follow up on which items that have a good margin and which items that have a bad margin?

Best regards.
Eva
