Expected Cost posting to G/L not showing in Inventory Setup

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

I'm following the documentation about expected cost posting here - docs.microsoft.com/.../design-details-expected-cost-posting

the documentation suggests that for expected costs to post to G/L upon posting receipt/shipping of items, you have done the following

"...you have selected the Expected Cost Posting to G/L check box in the Inventory Setup window"

I'm not seeing the Expected Cost Posting to G/L check box - just the screenshot below. I'm using the CRONUS trial environment.

Is this an error in documentation or am I missing something? Does expected cost posting capabilities exist in business central?

    RE: Expected Cost posting to G/L not showing in Inventory Setup

    I just had a strange thing happen to one of my clients regarding expected costs.

    We are in the middle of a new implementation (with the client doing much of it themselves).  We have what will be their live site that was created late April.

    They created a new test site by copying this would be production site on 6/8/18.   Yesterday they started looking for the expected costs, found it on the Inventory setup page and continued to set it up and test it out.  Then they went to do the same in the production site and it doesn't exist!

    I compared these 2 companies (on the same tenant, one, a copy of the other).  What I found was that on the company information page of the production company it had the experience set to essentials.  On the same page in the test company, there was nothing and you couldn't edit that field to add anything.

    I had him make a new copy of this production company to see if expected costs would be on that one.  Sure enough, expected costs are there and the experience field is blank.

    They will continue with this copied company to finalize setups for go live.

    I would think that if a change was rolled out, all companies in the tenant would be affected. 

    Can anyone from Microsoft comment on this strange event?  Will their original production company be updated to include expected costs?

    Has anyone figured out if this is part of business central yet?
