3574040 - Incorrect Valuation Quantity in Material Cost Estimates - Cost Breakdown (Item Type) Report

• In the Material Cost Estimates - Cost Breakdown (Item Type) report, the valuation quantity is not displayed correctly if an input material is used more than once in a material cost estimate.
• The report only displays the highest quantity among the multiple instances of the same material, instead of the total valuation quantity.

1. Go to Inventory Valuation work center -Reports view and open the Material Cost Estimates - Cost Breakdown (Item Type) report.
2. Enter the mandatory details, such as Company ID, Set of Books ID, Key Date as well as Material ABC (ABC represents an output material ID).
3. You notice that the valuation quantity of input material XYZ appears too low, for example 2 ea instead of 3 ea (XYZ represents an input material ID). 

• The Material Cost Estimates - Cost Breakdown (Item Type) report derives its data from generated material cost estimates.
• In the material cost estimate of the output product ABC, there are more than items for material XYZ listed, for example, one item with valuation quantity 2 ea and one with valuation quantity 1 ea.
• The report is not able to display different valuation quantities for the same material used multiple times in a material cost estimate. Instead, it displays the highest quantity among the multiple instances of the same material, here 2 ea (not 2 ea + 1 ea). 

• The material cost estimate derives its valuation quantities from the output materials Bill of material (BOM).
• We recommend to use a material only once in a BOM with the total quantity (here 3 ea)  rather than several times.
