Cost Adjustment

Cost adjustments are a key feature of Net•Yield, and provide the tools needed to quickly apply all known sales, value, production, and inventory adjustments to transactions that occur. When taken together, cost adjustments act to adjust the values of transactions when posting to accounts to reflect the true cost. Sales cost adjustments adjust invoices, price, and sales cost allocations; all other cost adjustments adjust the value of inventory. Cost adjustment types are used to control the behavior of accounting transactions directed to the general ledger when cost is being added to inventory and all sales accruals.

Note: Not all fields are used on all cost adjustment types. Some fields will appear as additional information based on the adjustment type.
