Hi all

I would like to ask what kind of influence has the difference between Posting date and Valuation date for the adjustment. Also, how it is possible to have adjustments for periods that were closed long time ago? For example there is a negative adjustment for some item in march. What kind of entry can make this negative adjustment as a candidate for adjustment in October?

Thank you

    The adjustment IS posted to the valuation date, as long as the accounting period is open, otherwise it posts to the date you put on the request form. This was not fixed until 5.0 when inventory periods were introduced. :?

    A difficult question to answer without knowing your version as this has changed in every version (and more) since NAV started :D

    We are using Nav 5.0. The table Avg. Cost Adjmt. Entry Point is changed when the Adjust costs item entries batch job is run. But what kind of entry makes the field Cost is adjusted NO? What is the use of Valuation date considering Adjust costs - item entries?

    Thanks and Happy New Year :)

    Inventory costing is a very non-simple subject, especially considering that Navision has been working on fine tuning this since version 2.0. I suggest you get a hold of the Inventory Costing manual for course 8388, it's very helpful.

    Valuation Date is the date on the item ledger. Posting date is the date that the system recognizes the inventory value.

    Both of these dates are used to calculate the accounting cost and the true cost. You can read more about this on my blog. :oops:
