Greetings everyone, I am trying to understand the GL impact of an item receipt. Most of our Item Receipts from Purchase Orders Debit our Inventory account (other current asset), and Credit a bridge account for Un-Billed Items (other current liability) Now I have an item receipt that for about half the worth of it, has a second impact that is reversing the inventory impact and adding a Costs of Goods Sold account impact with the Memo "Cost of Sales Adjustment". Has anyone here seen anything similar, and do you know what triggered it? (There is no custom impact note, just the COGS Memo)

@Fer this happens when you had negative inventory prior to the receipt. The system is correcting for that

Yep, I found it out, and I know the cause now, but I don't know how to fix it. So the original receipt was deleted, and then it was received with a posterior date. I don't want to keep deleting this receipts but I think just changing the date won't do anything.

There's not anything to fix
It's already correcting for it. That said, changing the date would work to shift the cogs impact to the right transaction

It's impacting my COGS account when the transfer generated no impact, won't the product generate a second COGS impact when sold from the other virtual location?
k
Either way you wind up with same COGS impact
I see. Fix the date on your receipt to be prior to the transfer and then give the costing engine a day to catch up. Maje sure appropriate periods are open

Thanks a lot, I was kind of expecting to see the change sort of immediately, but you are right the cost engine takes a while to run through the changes
