Contains information about the method that the program uses to calculate average cost.
 Note |
|---|
| If you change the average cost calculation type, only entries in open fiscal years will be affected. Entries that have already been posted in the open fiscal years will also be changed. |
The options are:
-
Item: If this option is selected, the program calculates one average cost per item in the company.
-
Item & Location & Variant: If this option is selected, the program calculates an average cost per item for each location and for each variant of the item in the company. This means that the average cost of this item depends on where it is stored and which variant (for example, which color) of the item you have selected.
 Warning |
|---|
| You must choose the type of method very carefully during setup because if you change the contents of this field, all entries concerning items with costing method Average in open fiscal years will have to be readjusted. This may take several hours if your database is large. |
