Tech/Accounting Tips

 

Want to display the average cost of an inventory item instead of the current cost  in the order entry module? Want to use the average cost when calculating gross margins in sales analysis reports?

Flag the relevant field in the System        Set-up.

"Record Line Item Average Cost"

 

When checked, the average cost of each line item is held on the History file (rather than the current cost established by default). Note that this option is not available when LIFO/FIFO is active, as these are used on a per line item cost basis.  This information is used when reporting in Sales Analysis.

All Sales Analysis Detail reports will calculate and present margins based on this line item average cost.  All Summary reports will present margins based on total average cost price on an invoice-by-invoice basis.

 

 

 

In addition, the cost price displayed in Order Entry is dependant on this setting. When unchecked, the current cost price is displayed on a line item basis. When checked, the average cost price is displayed on a line item basis.
