I have an item cost that has been messed up for a couple of years now. Sage is currently setup for average costing and to allow inventory to go below zero. This item price fluctuates a bit from suppliers and was being sold before the purchase invoices were being entered. The item cost is grossly out of proportion now and has been for quite some time. It progressively got worse and worse as more transactions were made.
I have the item quantity and value both at zero right now but for the past transactions the COGS value is way off. Is there a way to correct this? If I input a new purchase invoice now before selling anymore of this product will the cost go back to normal or will I first have to do an inventory adjustment to zero out the cost?
