Adjust Cost - Item Entries

robasta

Hi pple,

I was just wondering why i have to run the "Adjust Cost - Item Entries". I have been doing a revalution and it turns out i need to run the job before and after the revaluation.

My question is: Why do we run the job? The training manual (ver3.70) says its due to "other factors".

It is calculating correct Cost on the Item Entries.

The adjust routine adjust any sale/transfer entries with correct cost.

In your case, when you revalue an inbound Positive entry, it only changes the cost of that entry. Your COGS account still has the old entries for items that you have sold.

So when you run adjust cost, navision looks at the entry that you have revaluated and goes and finds all the applied entries (e.g. sales) and adjust the cost and posts the COGS with the adjustment.

Other scenarios could be when you receive a PO and you sale the items, and a month later the Vendor sends an Invoice that is higher so your sales and COGS account has to be adjusted
