Posted on by Teresa Babel

With the upgrade to BC SaaS version 22.3.58346.58475, when creating new items (regardless of what is set on the Item Template) the costing method is set to FIFO. Checked the release notes for 22.4.59114.59220 and this is not resolved there.

Having the same issue in BC Saas 22.5.59966.60134.

Inventory Setup and Item Templates set to Standard Costing, however defaults to FIFO for new Item.

On BC Version 23.3

In Inventory Setup I have Default Costing Method = Average and on Item Templates Costing Method = Average. When I 'Create Item' from the Catalog Item Card with an Item Template where Costing Method = Average the created Item Card shows Costing Method = FIFO.

Is this the same bug or is this something different?

costing method in inventory setup is a global one, in case user create an item without specifying the costing method. But item template overrules the inventory setup when a user create a new item. In theory, this should never malfunction in BC.

I would suggest you to replicate it in a sandbox if it could be replicated. Or check if any extension interferes with system behavior. If all fails, raise a ticket to MS.
