Adjusting Value Entry directly

paurola

To make a long story short; I will have to resolve why Item Costing is messed up in our customers NAV 4.03 system.

Besides other oddnesses, I found a report that was used to adujst Value Entries... This code was used on all records in the Value Entry:

IF "Value Entry"."Cost Amount (Expected)" <> 0 THEN BEGIN
"Value Entry"."Cost Amount (Expected)" := 0;
"Value Entry".MODIFY;
END;

Looks bad, eh?

Because I am more a coder than a costing expert, I would like to get some educational guesses on what gets broken here.

Expected Cost gets posted to G/L and if somebody have run this report (If it is customized) then the link has been broken. There can be variance between the expected cost posted in Value Entry and G/L.

Oh yes, this is a customized "Processing Only"-report. Could this affect so that the "Average" costing method for Items would get messed up?

I also suspect that this has an impact on the Cost Adjusting batch jobs in Financial Management.

Though I am not sure because never faced a situation like this but this should not impact the cost adjustment batch because it will consider the cost amount actual. Expected cost becomes zero when a goods receipt/shipment is invoiced.
