Update Standard Costs

Form ID: (IN502000)

Note: This form is available only if the Inventory feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form.

By using this form, you can mass-update standard costs. You can view by warehouse the list of the inventory items with pending standard costs and update the standard costs for all items displayed in the list or only those you select. You can specify the pending standard costs for stock items on the Price/Cost tab of the Stock Items (IN202500) form and override the costs for a particular warehouse by using the Item Warehouse Details (IN204500) form. You can specify the pending standard costs for non-stock items on the Non-Stock Items (IN202000) form.

When standard costs are updated and inventory is revalued for multiple inventory items, the system generates a consolidated inventory adjustment for the items being processed to make the necessary cost corrections. The consolidated inventory adjustment is generated on the current business date. To view the list of generated adjustments, use the Adjustments (IN303000) form. For more information about cost processing, see Item Costs and Valuation Methods.

Attention: If multiple branches are used in the system a separate inventory adjustment is created for each branch.
