WHY update Unit Cost in sales

nikeman77

hi guys,

any idea why would we want to update unit cost in sales (post sales invoice)?

Chinmoy

Probably because NAV maintains a moving Weighted Avg. cost of items. So, whenever there is any movement of an item the cost needs to be re-adjusted.

Chinmoy,

understood, but why would there's a field UNIT COST in sales order editable?

Chinmoy

This is something I don't understand...

It looks like; NAV provides an option to the users to manually key-in a specific Unit Cost, if there is a need to do so... (may be for entering back dated transactions)..

precisely.. if why would i need a salesperson to input the unit costs, more concern is how much unit price they are selling isnt it ?

for us we also do drop ships. We have a single item # for drop ships.
we enter the item number - enter the description for the particular drop ship.
we enter the unit cost of what it costs us and enter the price of what the customer will get it for.
the cost & prices vary per drop ship.

besides drop ship, any other example/ scenario where we need to input unit costs manually ? :-k
