Cause

Initially no values posted in the goods receipt and because of this due Valuation at product level is zero due to this Journal entry posed with zero value transaction for the Production Confirmation 'ABC'

 
  • The Product cost must be checked under Product Master Data.
  • For the Finished Product, no Valuation Cost is available.
  • The Costing Method is set to Moving Average and also the cost history consistently shows a value as zero.

Resolution

The system is behaving as expected.

  1. The Input Material (raw material) has a Valuation Cost assigned, and its Journal Entries include the cost.
  2. This cost is not transferred to the Finished Product because no BOM (Bill of Material) is present.
  3. Due to the absence of the BOM, the cost is never updated for the Finished Product.
  4. This results with the Zero value journal entry postings for the Production Confirmation 'ABC'.
