Hello, everyone,

we are a manufacturing company in the field of paint manufacturing. Our item settings for manufactured products are:

Inventory Valuation: Weighted Average
Cost level: Cost per batch
Supplier Invoice: Ignore invoice price
Once a year we determine new billing rates for production, which then flow into the new calculation!

We determine the billing rates in mid-December so that we can store them in the system for the inventory at the respective workstations. In the new year, the manufacturing costs of the newly produced batches are determined using the new cost rates and written down.

However, by the end of December we would also like to value the inventory that is in stock using the new billing rates.

Is this possible?
If yes, what needs to be done?
What is to be observed?
For your information: In the past, we have already entered new billing rates in the basic data of the workplaces in our test environment retrospectively (in November for January) on the following cost tables:

1 = stock value

999 = simulation calculation

1000 = standard calculation

2000 = Recommended VP

What must then be done? The standard calculation is carried out automatically every month. We then copied the 1000 = standard calculation to the cost table 1 = stock value.

Unfortunately, this had no impact on the stocks held in stock. For me, the question arises as to whether other jobs or similar should have been initiated for the revaluation, or whether database jobs such as "processing transactions" should not be allowed to run during this period.

The revaluation of all batches in stock would also entail an immense booking volume!?

Can you help me on this?

Daniel Eckert
