3057972 - Revenue Recognition Run generates Accrued or Deferred Costs for Sales Order Item After Material Inventory Cost Change

Symptom

You execute the revenue recognition run and notice a deferred Cost of Goods sold amount for Sales Order item ABC-AA (ABC-AA represents the Sales Order item ID).

  • The Sales Order item is of type Product -delivery based.
  • The Sales Order item uses an Event-based accrual method, such as 2-Recognize at Point of Delivery or 1-Recognize at Point of Invoice. 
  • The ordered material, XYZ, is valuated with the moving average perpetual cost method (XYZ represents the material ID). 
  • For the Sales Order item you created Goods Issues to Customer as well as Reversal Goods Issues to Customer. 
  • The inventory cost of material XYZ changed during the different goods issue business transactions.

You expect the Revenue Recognition run to recognize the actual, delivered cost. Instead, you notice that even though the run recognizes the correct Delivery Amount,  it still defers a value on the Deferred Cost of Goods sold account.
