Unit Cost used in Negative Adjustment

Posted by mojacho | 11:25 PM |

If you are using Average Cost, Negative Adjustment will take the average cost on the day the negative adjustment is valued (based on posting date and valuation date).

For example, when you do a Negative Adjustment in Item Journal, Navision will default the unit cost with the Unit Cost from Item Card. It doesn't matter whether you accept the default cost suggested by Navision or change the unit cost to other cost, because the Adjust Cost - Item Entries batch job or the automatic cost adjustment function will adjust the unit cost back to the average cost based on the valuation date. Therefore, no matter what cost you put in the Item Journal during Negative Adjustment will not affect the cost used in the negative adjustment.

If you are using Standard Cost, the unit cost in Item Journal will be defaulted to Unit Cost in Item Card, which is the current standard cost. Later, when the adjust cost function is executed, the unit cost posted by the negative adjustment will be adjusted to the unit cost of the positive entry which the negative adjustment is applied to. Let's consider the following example,

Jan 01, 2008 - Item A is created and standard cost is set to $10.
Jan 02, 2008 - Purrchase 10 units of Item A with $10.
Feb 01, 2008 - Change standard cost of Item A to $12.
Feb 05, 2008 - Purchase 10 units of Item A with $12.
Feb 07, 2008 - Negative 2 units of Item A.

So, on Feb 07 2008, when 2 units of Item A is entered into the Item Journal, Navision will default the unit cost to $12. Accept the cost and post the Negative Adjustment. The Negative Adjustment will be posted with $12. You can verify this by checking the Item Ledger Entries and Value Entries. Now, run the Adjust Cost - Item Entries batch job. After the Adjust Cost batch job completed successfully, check the Item Ledger Entries and Value Entries again. You should be able to see an adjustment entry with -$2 has been added to the Value Entries table to adjust the unit cost to $10.

The Negative Adjustment will take $10 instead of $12 as unit cost because the negative adjustment entry has been applied to the purchase entry created on Jan 02 2008, which is $10.

Steps to calculate Average Cost in Navision

Posted by mojacho | 11:23 PM |

The following steps are not foolproof yet but it has helped me solved many average cost issues.

1) At item card, click on Item --> Entries --> Value Entries to open the value entries screen.
2) Copy all records in the value entries screen to Excel.
3) In the Excel sheet, sort the records by Valuation Date.
4) Add a column called Cost Amount to the Excel sheet. Cost Amount = Cost Amount (Expected) + Cost Amount (Actual). Use Excel formula to populate the Cost Amount column for all records.

5) Add a column called Cost Amount (Accumulated). As indicated by the column name, it is the accumulated value of Cost Amount from first record to the last record. Again use Excel formula to populate this column.
6) Add a column called Quantity (Accumulated). Quantity (Accumulated) is the accumulated quantity from first record to the last record. Use Excel formula to populate this column.
7) Add a column called Avg. Cost. Avg. Cost = Cost Amount (Accumulated) / Quantity (Accumulated).
8) Now, look for the last inbound entry record for each Valuation Date. The Avg. Cost for the last inbound record for each valuation date is the average cost for the day.

When to use Item Charge ?

Posted by mojacho | 3:06 PM |

Item Charge is used to record the cost for distributing, handling and transportation of items, such as:
1) Insurance
2) Freight Cost
3) Custom Duties

These costs will add to the direct unit cost of the item purchased or sold, thus will affect the cost of goods sold and proft calculation. For example, transportation agent who delivers items from supplier bills you on the transportation charges. You can use Item Charge to assign the transportation charges to the items received. When the Item Charge is posted, it will be added to the cost of the items received, thus make the cost of the item more expensive. The same concept can be applied to the Sales Transaction.

Navision allow you to post the Item Charge seperately from the purchase or sales document. You can post the purchase or sales documents first and post the Item Charge later when you have receive the relevant documents to incur more charges to the purchase or sales. In other words, item charges can be assigned to the items that have been posted as receipt and invoice, or even after the item has been sold.
