COSTING METHOD 365
Costing Method 365 is an ISV special solution based on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central®. The goal is to be able to change particular item parameters, such as primarily the costing method, which within the standard functionality of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central "can no longer be changed" after posting. The following options are available to you by using Costing Method 365:
- Changing the costing method
- Changing the item tracking codes
- Changing the base unit of measure
The solution is completely integrated in the application areas financial management and inventory of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central®-Standard. If the above-mentioned parameters need to be changed for items, this change is carried out via "Costing Policy Worksheet". Existing quantities with value are debited by the system, the change carried out and the quantities with value reposted anew. To record the change, in addition to the item and value entries, so-called costing policy entries are formed.
Costing Policy Worksheet
The costing policy worksheet can be retrieved directly via the role centre or via the item list /-card.

Costing Policy Entries
In addition to the item postings that are carried out when the costing policy is changed, costing policy entries occur for the recording. The costing policy entries can be retrieved via the item card.

Two costing policy entries are always created during a change. The first entry shows the parameters valid until the reference date of the change. The second entry shows the parameters valid from the reference date of the change with a starting date. The following fields are available in the costing policy entries:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Item No. | Number of the item for which a value flow change was carried out. |
| Description | Item description |
| Costing Method | When the costing method is changed, the first entry includes the old costing method and the second entry the new valid costing method. |
| Item tracking code | When item tracking is changed, the first entry includes the old item tracking and the second entry the new valid item tracking. |
| Base unit of Measure | When the base unit of measure is changed, the first entry includes the old base unit of measure and the second entry the new valid base unit of measure. |
| Starting Date | Indicates the reference date from which the costing policy change is valid. |
| First Item Ledger Entry No. | Here you find the serial number of the first item entry for the particular valid costing policy. |
For every costing policy change carried out on the item, new costing policy entries are created.
