<p class="Help-Text">Point of Sale <font style="font-style: italic;">averages</font> the cost of inventory items. This means that when items are received at a cost different from the current average unit cost in inventory, the received quantities and costs are averaged together with the existing inventory quantities and costs to determine the new <a href="../qbpos_glossary_of_terms/glossarypage.htm#glossary_avgcost">average unit cost</a> of the item.</p>
<p class="Help-Indent"><span class="hcp1">Example:</span> If you have 10 of an item that was purchased at an <a href="../qbpos_glossary_of_terms/glossarypage.htm#glossary_ordercost">order cost</a> of $5 and then receive 10 more purchased at an order cost of $10, the new average unit cost of the item is $7.50.</p>
<p class="Help-Indent" style="text-align: center;">(10 x 5) + (10 x 10)/20 = 7.50</p>
<p class="Help-Text">&#160;</p>
<p class="Help-Text">This allows you to set an accurate profit <a href="../qbpos_glossary_of_terms/glossarypage.htm#glossary_margin">margin</a> for items and maintain an accurate inventory valuation when using Point of Sale in conjunction with QuickBooks Desktop financial software.</p>
<p class="Help-Text">When receiving merchandise, Point of Sale will suggest the cost &#160;on the voucher as: 1) the order cost on a referenced purchase order, or, if no purchase order is involved, 2) the current order cost from inventory.</p>
<p class="Help-Text">Review and ensure that the correct cost information is entered on the voucher.</p>
<p class="Help-Info-Line">To change the voucher cost of an item when receiving:</p>
<ol>
<li class="p-Help-Steps">
<p class="Help-Steps">Highlight the item in the voucher item list.</p>
</li>
<li class="p-Help-Steps">
<p class="Help-Steps">Click <span class="hcp1">Qty/Cost</span>, enter the new cost, then click <span class="hcp1">OK</span>.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p class="Help-Text">If the voucher cost is different than what is recorded in inventory, Point of Sale will alert you that you may want to review and <a href="../qbpos_inventory/inven410.htm">edit your item prices</a>.</p>

<p class="Help-Heading-2">Notes:</p>
<ul>
<li class="p-Help-Bulleted" style="margin-left: -20px;">
<p class="Help-Bulleted">The <a href="../qbpos_inventory/inven_ordercost.htm">order cost</a> in inventory is not an averaged cost. When items are received at a new cost, that cost becomes the new order cost in inventory and will be suggested as the cost on future purchase orders and vouchers.</p>
</li>
<li class="p-Help-Bulleted" style="margin-left: -20px;">
<p class="Help-Bulleted">Point of Sale supports cost and price entries of up to five decimal places to facilitate ordering, receiving, and tracking items costing fractional cents. <a href="../qbpos_basic_procedures/basic311.htm">Learn more</a>.</p>
</li>
<li class="p-Help-Bulleted" style="margin-left: -20px;">
<p class="Help-Bulleted">You can restrict an employee's rights to view item costs by using Point of Sales <a href="../qbpos_secadmin/secadminoverview.htm">security features</a>.</p>
</li>
<li class="p-Help-Bulleted" style="margin-left: -20px;">
<p class="Help-Bulleted">Your inventory prices are updated automatically by receiving vouchers only it the previous regular price is $0 (zero) AND you have a margin or markup entered on the item record.</p>
