You can directly post negative adjustments or sales for costing by weight catch weight items using item journal lines, allowing the system to calculate costs based on the actual weight, even without a sales order.

When you post these item journal lines, the system automatically creates both item ledger entries and item weight ledger entries. The outbound cost is calculated based on the actual weight shipped or adjusted, ensuring accurate cost recognition in outbound transactions.

You can also view the Valued Quantity (Catch Weight UoM) field on the Value Entries page, which records the shipped or adjusted weight as a negative value, reflecting outbound movement. Similarly, the Remaining Quantity (Catch Weight UoM) field and Weight Open checkbox on the Item Ledger Entries page help you monitor inventory depletion. When the full weight is shipped, the Weight Open checkbox is automatically cleared, indicating no further weight is available from the lot.

On the Item Weight Ledger Entries page, the Remaining Quantity (Catch Weight UoM) field value is reduced based on the quantity posted. When the outbound quantity fully consumes the lot, the remaining weight becomes zero.

The system also generates item weight application entries, automatically linking the outbound weight with its corresponding inbound item ledger entries. This ensures complete traceability of weight-based cost applications.
