Advanced Inventory Management ERP solutions allow you to set up items that you carry in your stock and specify their unit of measures, costing method, inventory posting group, unit cost and price and other properties.

Financial Management in linked with inventory with Microsoft Dynamics NAV’s Standard Cost Worksheet in which allows you to efficiently review and update standard costs with this worksheet. The standard cost worksheet provides a company’s controllers with a reliable and efficient way to maintain accurate and up-to-date inventory costs. Work with standard cost updates the same way you work with an Excel spreadsheet but within the framework of Microsoft Dynamics NAV.
Because it provides an overview of the current standard costs, the worksheet is a convenient place to prepare for a cost update without the changes having an immediate effect in the system. Using this worksheet, you can carry out cost updates for both the purchased components and capacity by using different sorting criteria in several worksheets simultaneously, and then later consolidate them into one.
Furthermore, cost worksheets can obtain information that can help you identify and avoid potential errors by simulating the cost of the manufactured item due to changes in components and/or capacity use cost and then viewing the effect. Plus, help ensure that you execute the changes at a given date and that any revaluation resulting from cost changes is dealt with in the system.
