Inventory uses one valuation policy: moving weighted average. Each issue is valued from the currently posted stock cost. The catalog's selling price remains unchanged by tracking the product and is not the acquisition cost entered for a receipt.
When receiving stock from another source, enter the supported total acquisition cost. When receiving from an eligible issued bill, review the calculated allocated bill cost. Those posted receipts contribute to the stock cost from which later issues are valued.
Inspect Proposed stock cost before submitting an issue and the retained movement after posting. Pending receipts or issues do not change the posted quantity and value merely because a draft exists. This matters when comparing an open proposal with the current register.
Customer returns use the original issue cost rather than substituting a new selling price or an arbitrary current estimate. Keep the original issue link and remaining return quantity under review. For broader account differences, use the valuation report to compare tracked stock with posted inventory-account balances and review activity outside the register separately.
