Avoid zero cost on issues when the financially tracked batches are received with a zero price

Posted on by 9
Hi All,
 
I have following issue that you maybe could help solve.
I have a batch number tracked item that I frequently purchase.
This batch controlled item is consumed on various projects. Most often, D365 should auto reserve the batch. On some occasions, I need to be able to specify a specific batch number. The reason here is that some batches can be considerable more costly, and therefore I must ensure that these specific batches are consumed by the projects that require the expensive batches. This also implies that I need to financially track batch numbers.
The issue is then that I also sometimes buy batches where I do not know the purchase price. I first know it when it must be invoiced. Thereby, I need to receive the batches with a price of 0 (zero).
This gives an issue as the batches are financially tracked. Now the projects will consume batches with a cost price of 0 (zero). This would not have been a problem if batches was not financially tracked as D365 would then have used an average cost (the actual cost related to the FIFO principle would then be calculated on inventory close).
 
I could manually input a "best guess" purchase/cost price on the batches that I do not know the prices of, or I could use "Latest purchase price"/"Latest cost price" on the item card (see Avoid a zero cost price on issues).
Is there any other way it could be handled? The wish is to use an average cost on batches that has a purchase price of 0 (zero).
 
Thanks in advance.

    Nope, I think you've pretty much described all the possible solutions. If you need to enable Financial Inventory on the Batch dimension, then F&O is not going to be able to maintain or assign a running average at the item-level.
