Miscellaneous or Special item with quantity used can have Unit Cost changed which causes 401 message on Validation Utility
This issue impacts WIP causing it not to balance and to GL by not relieving WIP at the same cost as when it was initially used.
1. Enter and use a Miscellaneous or Special Item, Chargeable part on a work ticket, with a unit cost (Example 100.00).
2. Go to Sales Order Entry>Lines for that chargeable part and change the Unit Cost the field is open to edit. In this example change the Unit Cost to 0.00.
3. Go back into the work ticket and change the quantity used to 0 and save the line.
4. Make another entry of Qty. 1 used to the same item - in this example do not change the Unit Cost from 0.00.
The Dynamic Inventory Transactions will have created the intial $100.00 debit to WIP; and the unusing of the part did not relieve WIP of $100.00. This will make WIP non-reconcilable, as well as make GL and the work ticket costs incorrect; the Validation Utility will report error message 401.
