How I reopen a prior period and post a journal to one of the subsidiaries without NS automatically doing the COGS adjustment? I basically opened the June period to post a journal however it seemed to have done some COGS adjustments and change the value for some of the item receipts and fulfilments? is there an easy way to identify these?

This means you closed your periods with costing still running most likely
You should really ensure that it is done before you lock the periods.

@KevinJ of Kansas thanks, would you kindly elaborate please? the issue is a prior period opened for a short amount of time just to post a journal and in that timeframe, the system created a few COGS adjustments...

Yes. You closed the period while the costing system was running. It never finished. So you reopened the period and the system went "OOOH OOOH I CAN POST I CAN POST"
Right now I'm almost 100% sure that your current Cost is wrong accross the board.
If a user has enabled the "Display Report Title on Screen" setting at Home > Set Preferences, a warning message is shown on financial or inventory reports when Cost of Goods Sold is calculating: "An inventory costing calculation is currently scheduled or in progress. Transactions on or after XX/XX/XXXX* may be affected. The values on this report may be incorrect until this calculation completes."
Try turning that preference on and see what date it tells you
