Posting oddity

djswim

So, I have a sales invoice that was posted on the 31st of July, and when I navigate on it, I only see entries that were posted on that date.

Problem is, when I look at my COGS ledger entries, there are entries on the 1st of August that are system generated and tagged with that same invoice number?!? My first thought is that maybe it shipped on that day, but the shipment was posted prior to invoicing.

Maybe this is something obvious that I'm not thinking of, but it's driving me mad. Any help whatsoever would be much appreciated. Also, source code for all entries on both dates are Inventory Post Cost.

This is regarding to the timing of when the adjust cost was ran. The additional costs were recognized in a different date than the original posting date.

This is correct, don't assume otherwise. This is the accounting cost.

I've written a blog about accounting cost and true cost. FYI.

They've never run adjust cost... at least that's what they're telling me. Could anything else cause this?

Have you checked the Source Code for those entries?

Source code is INVTPCOST... but I was under the impression that something else could cause that. The descriptions all say "Direct Cost"

INVTPCOST - Post Inventory Cost to G/L

There's your answer. The user ran the post inventory cost to G/L with a different posting date than when the invoice was posted.
