According to Acumatica’s documentation, the Final IN Ext. Cost should match the Estimated IN Ext. Cost

However, we’re seeing a significant discrepancy between these two columns.

In our case:

  • The Bill did not generate any PPV amount.

  • The Unit Cost and Quantity are identical on both the Bill and the Purchase Receipt.

  • In this workflow, the Bill was created before the Receipt.

Given these details, what else could be causing this difference in the Final IN Ext. Cost? Because of this discrepancy, the item's unit cost upon receiving is different from the unit cost on the Purchase Receipt and Bill.

Hello,

What is the Valuation Method for your item?  If we use Standard Cost valuation method in IN module, for example, the costs on Purchase and Bill documents don’t directly update the Standard Costs in Inventory.

We use Average method for Stock-item, and it’s a Receipt, not Return
