Repost Item Valuation
Overview
Repost Item Valuation – Business Overview
Repost Item Valuation is a control and correction document in Dafater used to recalculate inventory values when past transactions or costing information have changed. Its purpose is to ensure that stock valuation, cost of goods sold, and inventory balances accurately reflect the latest and correct business data.
This document does not create new stock movements. Instead, it reviews historical inventory activity and re-evaluates item values so financial and stock reports remain reliable.
What Repost Item Valuation Is Used For
In day-to-day operations, inventory values may become inaccurate due to:
- Late backdated transactions
- Corrections to purchase costs or stock entries
- Changes in valuation-related settings
- Data corrections made after transactions were already posted
Repost Item Valuation allows the business to recalculate item values from a selected point in time, ensuring that: - Inventory valuation is correct - Cost of goods sold reflects actual costs - Financial reports align with operational reality
Prerequisites and Setup Requirements
Before using Repost Item Valuation, the following should be in place:
- Inventory transactions (purchases, sales, transfers, adjustments) must already be recorded
- Any corrections to stock entries or item costs should be finalized
- The accounting period involved should be open and approved for adjustments
- Users should have authorization to make valuation-impacting changes
It is recommended that this document is handled by finance or inventory control teams, not general operational staff.
