Hey there,
One of our customers has an item that has consistently cost between 51 and 52 dollars per Base UOM. Over the weekend, after cost adjustment ran (as per usual) the Unit Cost for this item has exploded to 12,175.53191 per Base UOM. This is astronomical to say the least. The item uses FIFO costing, and at the moment it shows Cost is Adjusted = TRUE, Cost is Posted to G/L = TRUE.
I drilled into the Unit Cost field and here's the summarized view of the latest entries in the Average Cost Calc. Overview:

I don't know if this applies in this case since this item is a FIFO item, but could the fact that there are only outbound entries on March 1 onwards and no inbound entries in the location titled SSA be the reason for the inflated Unit Cost? In any case, this unit cost is concerning because the system is now suggesting it on all outbound entries (Read: consumption) and now the consumption journal is overstating the value of the components to be consumed for finished products.
A few things to take into consideration:
- Item's ILE and VE show typical Cost Per Unit between $51 and $53. There are no outliers in either ledger.
- I ran the Costing Error Detection report from Microsoft. I got zero pages, so naturally that means nothing got flagged as inconsistent.
- Item has virtually nothing on hand (0.00188)
- Customer uses NAV 2009 R2 Classic with costing ROLLUP 1 + 2
- Automatic Cost Posting = TRUE
- Expected Cost Posting = TRUE
- Automatic Cost Adjustment = Never
- Average Cost Calc. Type = Item
- Average Cost Period = Month
Has anyone encountered a situation like this where very low QOH and very high Unit Cost? What's the remedy in this case? The customer won't post the consumption journal lines until the unit cost is corrected.
Your help is appreciated.
