Microsoft has released a new white paper entitled Dynamics NAV costing Error Detection and Data Correction.

This white paper discusses common inventory costing issues and how you can correct erroneous data after inventory costing issues have been identified.

This document focuses on the data and the fields that typically cause problems in the cost adjustment process. This is meant to be a guide instead of a complete manual. For more detailed information about costing in Microsoft Dynamics NAV, see this earlier costing white paper for Dynamics NAV 5.0. Though written for an older version of NAV, its basic principles remain valid.

The Costing Error Detection report was developed to help you find common costing data problems. If this report shows that there are errors in your database, you can use the suggestions in this document to correct the data. There are no automated fixes for repairing costing data.

For Microsoft Dynamics NAV 5.0 and Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 with service packs, use Report 60010. For earlier releases of Microsoft Dynamics NAV, use Report 60000, which can be found in KB 893788 (requires a CustomerSource or PartnerSource login).
