We have customers who use Average cost valuation on their compoenent and raw material inventory valuation.
Currently, when a production order is created from a Bill of Material, the average unit cost from the stock item is used as the planned unit cost for these items on the production order. Our customers would like retain the material unit cost entered on their Bills of Material to the material unit cost on production orders created from the Bill of Material.
Is there a configuration that accomplishes this?

Hi @lukef55 ,
The planned Unit Cost used will always be the cost from the Stock Items / Item Warehouse Details screen, and it is based on its valuation method. To update unit costs, that is done through the cost roll process, but still always based on the valuation method and the cost on the Item Warehouse Details screen.
One option may be to setup the stock items as standard cost instead of average, which may provide the customer with the control of the cost that they are looking for.
There is more on this functionality in the following help article:
