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.
