What should I do if transactions aren’t costed because perpetual average cost is unavailable?
The perpetual average cost won’t be available in the cases listed here:
- The first receipt transaction for the item is without a cost. Therefore, the average cost can’t be calculated.
- The issue transaction for an item is processed even before any receipt transaction for the item processed.
You can define a cost component mapping to the default cost element so that such transactions are costed at $0. After you map to the default cost element, run the Create Cost Accounting Distributions process so that such transactions are costed.
