Notes on Difference Fields

Item Difference Fields

Old, new, and difference fields for adjusted values are included in the item list on adjustment memos.

For example, on a cost adjustment memo, the Old Cost field shows the current inventory cost for an item. You enter the adjusted value in the New Cost field (decimal cost entry allowed, up to five decimal places). The difference between the old and new cost is displayed in the Diff Cost field. Likewise, on quantity adjustment memos, you have Old Qty, New Qty, and Diff Qty fields.

Document Difference Fields

Similar fields in the totals area of the memo (Old Value, New Value on cost memo, and Old Qty, New Qty, Qty Change on quantity memo) summarize the total adjustments to inventory for all items on the memo. One more totals field, Value Change, is used on both memo types to show the dollar change in inventory value resulting from the memo. These totals fields cannot be edited.

Note: The ability to see cost fields, including margin and markup and other fields related to cost, can be controlled by security rights. If you do not have the right to view item costs, the fields will be masked like this "*****". This right affects cost fields in inventory and on all documents and reports.
