Revalue an Inventory Item with FIFO
Revaluing an inventory item is a two-part procedure.
First, you must adjust the item's quantity to zero, and then you need
to adjust it back to the original count with the new Unit
Cost. If you are using locations
and need to revalue an item company-wide, you must repeat this procedure
for each location that stocks the item.
Note: Revaluing an item clears all previous inventory cost layers and creates a new layer with one cost.
To adjust
the item's quantity to zero:
- In the Inventory
Adjustments window, prepare the adjustment transaction as you normally
would (source, comment, date), and click to open the Inventory
list.
- Select the item,
taking note of the Qty on Hand and click
Select.
- Enter the number
from the Qty on Hand in the Quantity
column, as a negative value.
