Question:
How can I get my Unit Cost and Extended Price to populate on the Inventory Adjustment Edit List when the Transaction Quantity is a negative number? They populate on the Inventory Adjustment Posting Journal, but I would like to see what they are before actually posting the adjustment to or through General Ledger.
Answer:
The cost layer used for an item isn’t determined until the posting process actually occurs, so the printing the true cost on the Inventory Adjustment Edit List can’t be done. However, the current cost could be printed. The current cost is the cost of the item the last time it was received into inventory, unless the item is valued using an average valuation method, in which case the current cost will be the average cost. Perform the following steps to print the current cost on the Inventory Adjustment Edit List:
Opening the Report:
1. Go to Report Writer (Tools-Customize-Report Writer)
2. Choose Reports in the Menu Bar to open the Report Writer window
3. Highlight the Inventory Adjustment Edit List in the Original Reports column and choose Insert .
4. Highlight the Inventory Adjustment Edit List in the Modified Reports column and choose Open .
Layout:
5. Choose Layout in the Report Definition window
6. Double click on the Unit Cost field in the H3 section and choose Invisible for the Display Options .
7. Double click on the Extended Cost Calc field in the H3 section and choose Invisible for the Display Options .
8. In the Toolbox window, choose the Item Master table and highlight the Current Cost field. Drag this field on top of the Unit Cost field in the H3 section.
Calculated Field:
9. In the Toolbox window, choose Calculated Fields and then New .
10. Enter a name for the calculated field.

IV_Item_MSTR.Current Cost * IV_TRX_WORK_LINE.TRX QTY
15. Choose OK to save the calculated field.
Layout:
16. Highlight the Calculated field you just created and drag it on top of the Extended Price field in the H3 Section.
Note : If you want the totals of both of these fields to print at the end of the report, drag both of these fields from the Toolbox window and put them in the F1 section. Then double click on each of them and change their Field Type to Sum.
