Old FIFO tier is stuck. What causes this? Can I see details?

I have a client with an item that has 2 FIFO tiers: 1 from 2013 with 4 on hand (original qty of 8 when it came from PO) & 1 from 2016 with 5 on hand (original qty of 7 when it came from PO).

Total on hand is correct, but they have had a bunch of POs & SOs in between that should have cleared the 2013 tier by now; they have sold over 100 of this item since 2013.  I've looked at the audit on this item & it has always been FIFO. What would cause this tier to get stuck? I have looked at the record in DFDM & it all looks correct; dates have correct formats, etc. The last SO return was back in Oct 2015 for only 2 pcs, but plenty have been sold before & after that so this return shouldn't have used the old tier.I don't see any IA adjustments where someone could have grabbed this old tier & put items to it.

There are even 6 Negative Tier Adjustments over the years, which doesn't make sense since this old one is still out there. The largest qty on the Neg Tiers is 4 & it happens 4 separate times. I am guessing if it would see this tier, there wouldn't be a scenario to take the qty negative.

It is already starting to relieve the 2016 tier & still has 2013 left to use.

Is there a table that shows the history of a tier? I have looked at the data in the IM_ItemCost & IM_TransactionHistory, but neither give me what I need. Was wondering if I could see the ins & outs of this tier?

I am assuming I can fix it by manually removing it in an IA entry & then putting it back in with a new date.  Just trying to figure out how these get stuck & give an answer to the client instead of "its just a fluke".

    I would bet that there is a committed quantity showing on the tier. This is not like ON SO. A committed quantity means it's on an invoice but not posted. Like the ON SO field it sometimes gets out of sync with reality. Default inventory quantities screen does not show the committed value (I commonly add it to client's inventory maintenance/inquiry screen with the customizer).

    Try doing a rebuild sort files on inventory to see if that resolves it (say yes to clear committed quantities). If not, look at the record with DFDM and see if there is a value in the committed fields.  Look in both IM_ItemCost and IM_ItemWarehouse.
