Cost price calculation queue
When processing documents in the storekeeping system, overall volumes of outgoing stock (stock deducted from store, or 'stock-out') must be fully covered by overall volumes of incoming stock (stock-in). The outgoings in one document may be covered by incomings recorded in more than one stock-in document.
The cost price of outgoing stock items is determined as the sum of cost prices of those stock items in all the stock-in documents that are used to account for the outgoings.
For example, a production record documents the usage of 1.2 kg of carrots. This was covered by:
-
0.8 kg of carrots added to store on a stock-in record at 70p per kilo, and
-
0.4 kg of carrots added to store on a stocktaking record at 65p per kilo.
The calculated cost price will be:
Cost prices are calculated on the basis of documents created in stores within the same store group.
The cost price calculation process can take a long time. The operational report allows you to see the number of documents that are being processed and are queued for processing.
