  • 1.  Total forked Average costs

    Posted 04-06-2025 11:51

    Have a client who uses Avg Cost (UGH) who attempted to move some stale items into a Sample company, but didn't notice the U of M conversion.  Then they started trying to fix it. Currently, we have a lot of line items with 0 qty but a huge negative average cost value on the TB.

    I figured if I did a Receipt type transaction it should reset the Avg cost, but it ain't budging. I know these folks didn't go behind the scenes and fiddle with the files, so you would think I could undo what they did, but I'm starting to think this will be a manual fix.  I modified the CI_Item file and the IM_ItemWarehouse file - didn't help the TB.

    I can see the ugly entries in the Transaction file and in the IM_ItemWhseHistoryByPeriod. The "Balance Inventory Qty and Cost" utility does nothing.  Any ideas for 1) doing it via transactions so there is an audit trail, and, if that simply does not work, 2) which files should be edited?  It's about 3 pages worth of items (on the TB), so could be worse.

    For the items with 0 qty on hand and an extension value; use a transaction adjustment.  Add a quantity of 1 at 0 cost then print and update.  Then, enter another transaction adjustment for a quantity of -1 at whatever "orphaned" cost is, then print and update.

    This, apparently, does not work with average cost.  It's what I've always done to clear up stranded FIFO/LIFO/LOT/Serial costs, but Average - ixnay.

    What I did do that worked, though, is change the valuation method to standard, then receive one item in to reset the cost, then change it back to average.

    Beth I highly recommend using the Balance Quantity and Average cost *utl utility as there could be other problems, and it will make correcting IZ transactions where needed.

    Ah, @Jane Scanlan - none of these items show up in the utility.

    Did you run the recalculate IM history?  The ByPeriod tables don't get recalculated if you skip that step.

    @Kevin Moyes - I'm thinking they get recalculated when I change the cost to Std...?

    That is possible.  I'm not sure though.
