Costing Method and 0 cost line items on Invoices

edited May 21, 2013 9:33AM in Accounting / ERP 4 comments

Right now im running into a problem where im seeing several zero-cost items on invoices. Im trying to find out whats causing this...

The costing method defaults to "average cost"... now...if a sales rep is selling a part that they just created in the system for the first time that has never been on a Purchase order, and never been counted in inventory, never been received or sold....technically there is no "average cost" for this item right? and the costing method and estimated profit column are "saved" values.

So if there is no "average cost" associated with the part at the time the invoice is created, the cost will be saved as 0.00.

Howdy, Stranger!
