where does the estimated unit cost derive from on an inventory adjustment

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

The estimated unit cost on an inventory adjustment in NetSuite is derived from the cost of each item being added to the quantity on hand. This is manually entered in the Est. Unit Cost field when making the adjustment. If you are reducing the stock holding (entering a negative number in the Adjust Qty By field), you cannot enter anything in the Est. Unit Cost field. The cost of the items being removed from the quantity on hand is calculated by the system. For negative adjustments, the system uses the item's Average Cost. The Average Cost would only be 0.00 if the item was initially added via an inventory adjustment at 0.00 or received in on a Purchase Order at 0.00. In cases where the unit cost on the adjustment line is rounded until the cost account status resolves, it is suggested to get the correct cost from a search/SQL query and use that for your inventory adjustment. Please note that the unit cost can only be changed on positive adjustments. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
