Inventory Setup - Average Cost on Item and Variant Only

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 35

Hello Experts,

We would like to set the costing on Item and Variant (not on location). 

However, the D365 BC only allows us to set it either on Item or Item _ Variant + Location.

 I have 2 questions here:

1. What is the rationale behind not providing this setup on Item + Variant? Am I missing something?

2.  Is there a way to to setup the average cost basis the Item + Variant without compromising the core system?

    Hello,

    If you don't get further responses to this issue, you may want to raise a support request to Microsoft support via your CSP / Partner.

    I will be careful about talking about the rationale for this system design but it kind of makes sense to me that the location may effect the cost more than the variant it self.

    And no, you can not change this without compromising a lot of the standard functionality in the system. So I would rather recommend that you register it as a feature request at this site:
