What is the difference between Applied Cost & Calc Cost?
Calculated cost is the cost of an item determined by
a formula. Yellow Dog has several formulas, or calculated cost methods to
choose from based on your business needs. These formulas take into
consideration sales, purchasing, physicals, item adjustments, etc. when calculating
the cost of your items.
Applied Cost is the cost applied to an item at the
time of an adjustment. For most calculated cost methods, when the adjustment is
positive this will match your calculated cost. However, if your calc cost
method is FIFO this may not match, if your item was received at a new vendor
price at the time of the adjustment. If the adjustment is negative the
calculated cost of the item is being directly impacted by that adjustment and
there is no applied cost. In these instances, you’ll see ($1) as a placeholder
in an item history report.
