You can use the Adjust Output Cost – Item Entries by Weight report to adjust the output cost, which creates the item revaluation entries for the Catch Weight items.

  1. Select the Search icon , enter Adjust Output Cost – Item Entries by Weight, and then choose the related link. The Adjust Output Cost – Item Entries by Weight report page opens.
    This page instructs that the report will adjust the Cost Amount (Actual) of an output item which is set up as the Catch Weight based on its weight. If there is a difference, a revaluation value entry will be created.
  2. Select OK.

You cannot run this report without specifying the Output Revaluation Reason Code and From Date on the Catch Weight Setup page. For more information, see Catch Weight Setup.

Note

You cannot include items with the Costing Method set as Standard for cost adjustments when running the Adjust Output Cost – Item Entries by Weight report.

After running this report,

  • The system checks whether the output item is the Catch weight item, the output item ledger entries for the Production Order line exists, and the posting date of the output item ledger entries is greater than the Output Cost Revaluation From Date.
  • If the Cost is Adjusted toggle is turned off on the Inventory Adjmt. Entry (Order) Table (Standard Business Central Table No. 5896), the cost of the output item will be adjusted.
  • The actual cost per Item Ledger Entry is divided based on the weight quantity on the Item Ledger Entry for the output items.
  • The item revaluation journal is posted to correct the Cost Amount (Actual).
  • The system creates the Value Entries for each output item ledger entry, correcting the cost of the revaluation output item based on its weight.
