What is Variance Cost in the Physical Inventory Editor?

Q: What is Variance Cost in the Physical Inventory Editor?

A: In Yellow Dog the column "Variance Cost" in the physical inventory editor is now  "Estimated Variance Cost" . This is

 the variance quantity multiplied by the last calculated cost for that store.  The actual calculated cost cannot be known until the physical inventory is committed and the costs are computed.

 Once the Physical Inventory is committed, the Physical inventory reports will display the accurate variance cost. The editor is only an estimate
