(Accounting) Receiving goods when the cost price has been changed during transfer

Related topics

The following describes the accounting transactions the system creates when cost per warehouse is set to not active and active, and:

  • the cost price is manually changed in the Item file (or in the Item/Warehouse file if Cost per warehouse is active) and Goods in transfer exist
  • the Goods in transfer are received in the receiving warehouse

When the cost price is changed in any program the system will always check if there are goods in transfer between warehouses. Goods in transfer are items entered on an Internal Replenishment Order (IRO) where the internal sales order has been confirmed in the delivering warehouse (dispatched), but the internal purchase order has not yet been received in the receiving warehouse.

If there are goods in transfer, the system will re-value the goods in transfer in the same way as the revaluation of the normal stock.

Note: The cost type in these examples is either Standard cost or Average purchase cost. If the cost type is FIFO, no revaluation of Goods in transfer is carried out, since the cost on the internal sales order is always used to calculate the stock value in the receiving warehouse.

Cost per warehouse not active

Prerequisites

Quantity dispatched from delivering warehouse 110
From warehouse CEN
To warehouse STO
Cost price when goods were issued 50.00
Quantity in stock, warehouse CEN 390
New cost price 55.00

Created transactions

Note: The transactions created when the goods were dispatched from the delivering warehouse, corresponds to the transactions described in (Accounting) Deliver goods on an internal sales order.

The following transactions are created when the Standard cost/Average cost is changed in the Item file. The cost price has been changed from 50.00 to 55.00. Note: When the cost change is done, the internal sales order has been dispatched from the delivering warehouse, but the internal purchase order has not yet been received at the receiving warehouse.

901 Stock value 1950.00  
(New average cost – Old average cost) * Quantity in normal stock

(55.00 – 50.00) * 390 = 1950.00

This transaction re-values the stock on hand in warehouse CEN.

909/910 Standard cost change/- Manual average cost change   1950.00 Warehouse CEN. This transaction is the cost for the stock value change, i.e. the contra account to 901. This could be accounted on a cost account in DC1 Financials.
907 Goods in transfer 550.00  
(New average cost – Old average cost) * Quantity in transfer

55.00 – 50.00) * 110 = 550.00

Warehouse CEN. This transaction re-values the stock for Goods in transfer.

909/910 Standard cost change/- Manual average cost change   550.00 Warehouse CEN. This transaction is the cost for the stock value change, i.e. the contra account to 907. This could be accounted on a cost account in DC1 Financials.

Thus far the stock value in normal stock and the goods in transfer have been re-valued. This means that the stock value of the Goods in transfer now is:

Stock value when goods were Dispatched + Cost change

New value for goods in transfer: 5 500.00 + 550.00 = 6050.00

The following transactions are created when the internal purchase order is received in the receiving warehouse:

You can change the purchase price on the internal purchase order, but this will have no effect whatsoever. When the internal purchase order is received, the system will overwrite the purchase price with the standard cost or average cost from the Item file and will use this in calculating the stock value.
