Update Job Item Cost Batch Job
Updates the usage costs in the job ledger entries to match the actual costs in the item ledger entry. If adjustment value entries have a different date than the original value entry, such as when the inventory period is closed, then the job ledger is not updated. Job planning lines that are related to the updated item ledger entry are also updated if they have not yet been manually modified or transferred to a sales invoice. This ensures that job costs are updated for any changes in item costs because of cost adjustments and changes in item application.
Note
Jobs with status Completed are excluded from the batch job. To ensure that your completion entries contain the correct costs for an item, you must run the Update Job Item Cost batch job on the job before you change the status of the job to Completed.
Note
You can set up Microsoft Dynamics NAV to perform automatic cost adjustments every time that the Adjust Cost - Item Entries batch job is run. You can then have more accurate Usage and WIP values and profit statistics without relying on other users to run the Update Job Item Cost batch job periodically. For more information, see Automatic Update Job Item Cost.
