OT: Valuing Inventory
Posted: Thu May 01, 2003 6:26 am
We are implementing a process to scan (with a handheld WorthData scanner)
all audiobooks when they are received. Order Manager will adjust inventory
amounts when we process orders for shipping. I want the inventory records to
reflect quantity in/out and cost. The scanner program is setup to accept a
"cost" when items are scanned, however, much of the time, when we receive a
shipment, all we have is a packing slip without costs stated.
My question is: How do others reflect cost in their inventory records when
you don't have the cost upon initial receipt of the item?
Do you go back, once you have the invoice for each shipment, and manually
adjust the cost in your inventory records?
