Implication of turning On Automtic Cost Posting

NAV_User2010

I'm working for a company that has Nav V5 the routine Adjust item entries is run routinely at the end of every period but the post costs to GL has never been run. I’m looking at using Automatic cost posting & Expected cost postings so that the GL is in tune with the inventory.

However I’m aware that the first time I run the post cost to GL routine I will get a load of historical entries, has anyone done this before any advice of how to deal with the historical entries would be great.
Thanks

1) It will not solve your problem, even when the automatic cost posting is on, you need to run the batches to have all correctly posted
2) Of course, it will take long time to post the cost
3) Each posting will take longer, thus you have potential performance problem...

Also don;t expect that running the batch will sync the Item Ledger and General Ledger. If its been running a while you will probably have lots of differences that will be impossible to reconcile because of the volume of data.
