Hello Victor,

we are making some tests with your new Cost Engine and found something which is unclear to us. Our scenario is the following: our accounting schema is set to use average invoice for costing, we registered a PO with a price, did the material receipt and later register the Invoice with a different price. In the old costing the MatchInv used to register the price variance, instead we found out that the new CE deleted the posting of the InOut and once re-posted, the values are changed according to the invoice, no price variance is registered. I wonder what would happen if the InOut was posted in a closed period?

Also I would like to point out a problem with immediate client posting, the MatchInv will not post because it will try to find the accounting of the Material Receipt which is just deleted and not posted yet, so it gives "FactLine.updateReverseLine: Not Found (try later)" So you have to manually post both the Material Receipt and the MatchInv

Could you please enlighten us a bit?

Regards,
Angelo

Hello Angelo.

I'm sorry for answering so far, I've been very busy these months.

To configure a method of cost is necessary  to create a Cost  Type and set the costing method that will  be used. Costing Method and Cost Type set in account schema determine the costing method will be used  in accounting. in future will be to may execute multiples costing method for analysis.

About the price variance  in costing method (Average cost), never understood why "Adempiere" inherited this "Compiere", the purchase  variation price should only be used for the standard cost and not for any average cost method.

If an cost adjustment  is applied, the system generates cost records again in order to implement this adjustment to subsequent transactions, in most cases this occurs during the current period. so that not it represent big issue, but is highly recommended regenerate the cost transactions while  the accounting period close  is processed and get so a proper COGs.

About  cost adjustments out period, Susanne and I are working to get that  cost adjustments out period,  can be applied to average cost layer, this  allows generating  accounting transactions for current period , we think that this  also will solve the issue with the cost adjustments that are applied in a physical inventory.

kind regards
Victor
