Stock UOM

The unit of measurement in which the item is stocked in the warehouse.

Current Stock Qty.

Current Stock Value

The value of the stock, calculated as the product of current stock quantity and current standard cost.

Note: If the costing method of the items is other than standard cost, then the system retrieves the value of the stock from the “Stock Maintenance” component for the item variant in the login OU and displays it in the current stock value field.

New Stock Value

The revised value of the stock, calculated as the product of current stock quantity and new standard cost. If the costing method is other than standard cost, then new stock value will be the same as the current stock value.

Diff. In Value

The difference in value, calculated as the difference between new stock value and current stock value. If the difference in value is obtained as negative after calculation, the system displays the value preceded by a minus or negative sign.

If the standard cost revaluation is positive, the system debits the stock account and credits the revaluation account or adjustment account depending on whether the “Std. cost revaluation based on revaluation account” is set as “Yes” or “No”. If the standard cost revaluation is negative, the system credits the stock account and debits the revaluation account or adjustment account depending on whether the “Std. cost revaluation based on revaluation account” is set as “Yes” or “No”.

Create and Authorize Standard Cost Revaluation – An Overview

Activity overview

Stock adjustment is performed when there is a discrepancy between the system stock and actual physical stock and the reason for the discrepancy cannot be ascertained. This page allows you to modify the standard cost for items with std. cost valuation method. However, this page is applicable for all items irrespective of costing methods but for standard cost items, the stock value will be adjusted to the new stock value after revaluation and necessary financial postings will be performed.

You can create standard cost revaluation transaction based on a reference document. You can specify the new standard cost for the item. This value will be applicable throughout the OU. The system calculates the new stock value as the product of new standard cost and quantity. You also need to specify the account code and cost center to be credited for the standard cost revaluation transaction. This is best illustrated in the form of the following example.

Consider the following scenario:

Current stock quantity

10

Current Standard cost (Standard Cost)

20

New Standard Cost

25

Calculation of “Current Stock Value”

Current Stock Value = Current Stock Quantity * Current Standard Cost.

10 * 20 =200

Current stock value = 200

Calculation of “New Stock Value”

New Stock Value = Current Stock Quantity * New Standard Cost.

10 * 25 = 250

New Stock Value = 250

Calculation of Value Difference

Value Difference = New Stock Value - Current Stock Value.

250 – 200 = 50

Value Difference = 50
