Code changes

Note Always test code fixes in a controlled environment before you apply the fixes to your production computers.
To resolve this problem, follow these steps:
  1. Change the code in the AvgValueEntriesToAdjustExist function in the Inventory Adjustment codeunit (5895) to the following:
    ...
    IF FindNextRange THEN BEGIN
    AvgCostAdjmtEntryPoint."Valuation Date" := GetNextDate(AvgCostAdjmtEntryPoint."Valuation Date");
    AvgValueEntriesToAdjustExist(OutbndValueEntry,ExcludedValueEntry,AvgCostAdjmtEntryPoint);
    END;

    // Add the following line.
    OutbndValueEntry.SETCURRENTKEY("Item Ledger Entry No.");

    ...
  2. Change the code in the IsExcludeEntryFromAvgCostCalc function in the Inventory Adjustment codeunit (5895) to the following:
    ...
    IF NOT "Valued By Average Cost" THEN
    EXIT(FALSE);
    ItemLedgEntry.GET("Item Ledger Entry No.");
    IF ItemLedgEntry.Positive THEN
    EXIT(FALSE);

    // Delete the following line.
    EXIT(TRUE);

    // Add the following line.
    EXIT("Item Ledger Entry No." > OutbndValueEntry."Item Ledger Entry No.");
    ...

    ...
    // Delete the following lines.
    LOCAL PROCEDURE GetEntryNoToStartAt@78
    BEGIN
    StartAt := 0;
    WITH ExcludedValueEntry DO BEGIN
    RESET;
    IF FINDFIRST THEN
    REPEAT
    IF "Partial Revaluation" AND
    (OutbndValueEntry."Entry No." > "Entry No.")
    THEN
    StartAt := "Entry No.";
    UNTIL NEXT = 0;
    END;
    EXIT(StartAt + 1);
    END;
    // End of the lines.
    ...
  3. Change the code in the AdjustItemAvgCost function in the Inventory Adjustment codeunit (5895) to the following:
    ...
    WHILE NOT Restart AND AvgValueEntriesToAdjustExist(
    TempOutbndValueEntry,TempExcludedValueEntry,AvgCostAdjmtEntryPoint)
    DO BEGIN
    REPEAT

    // Delete the following lines.
    TempExcludedValueEntry.SETFILTER("Entry No.",'>=%1',
    GetEntryNoToStartAt(TempOutbndValueEntry,TempExcludedValueEntry));
    // End of the lines.

    AdjustOutbndAvgEntry(TempOutbndValueEntry,TempExcludedValueEntry);
    UpdateConsumpAvgEntry(TempOutbndValueEntry);
    UNTIL TempOutbndValueEntry.NEXT = 0;
    ...
  4. Change the code in the IsExcludeEntryFromAvgCostCalc function in the Inventory Adjustment codeunit (5895) to the following:
    ...
    BEGIN
    WITH ValueEntry DO BEGIN
    IF "Partial Revaluation" THEN

    // Delete the following line.
    EXIT(TRUE);

    // Add the following lines.
    EXIT(
    ("Entry No." > OutbndValueEntry."Entry No.") OR
    (("Entry No." < OutbndValueEntry."Entry No.") AND NOT
    IncludedInCostCalculation(ValueEntry,OutbndValueEntry."Item Ledger Entry No.")));
    // End of the lines.

    IF "Item Ledger Entry No." = OutbndValueEntry."Item Ledger Entry No." THEN
    EXIT(TRUE);
    ...
