Changing Costing Method

A._B._Computer_Systems

Customer is live only on Navision Sales & Receivables - mostly for practice purposes. They enter orders and invoice them. Not using inventory quantities or GL yet (going to start in a month or so). They did though entered many item cards already. They did not receive any inventory yet (all costs are still zero).

Some items have been entered as FIFO or Standard by mistake. What's the easiest way to change it to Average? Since there are Ledger Entries the system will not allow to change the costing method.

I think you must close the fiscal year first then change the method you want.

If there are no positive item ledger entries whatsoever ( not even credit memos or sales lines with negative quantites) for the items with the wrong costing method , it should be possible to change the costing method without problems. Normally this it is not possible. That is the only exception !

Writing a small processing report will be necessary to avoid the validate trigger of the costing method field.

When the purchase are posted, take care that the correct posting date is used. This must be a date prior to the sales posting date ( or at least the same day) for the item cost adjustment to work.

It is possible to change the costing method on item card, if the Item card does not have any Item Ledger entries or Item Value entries.

You said that the client is using this FOR PRACTICE PURPOSES ONLY. Does this mean that when they go live they'll be using another database with no entries? Then if so, as what VEERU has said, you can now change the Costing Method.
