Why doesn't standard cost update to the latest price entered in Item Maintenance?

I am wondering why the Standard Cost does not update in the Item Maintenance window.  The item is set to Standard Cost in the Valuation slot, but when we enter a new updated cost in the "Last Costs" category, the "Standard Cost" space, in the Purchases category does not update to the current cost.

Would someone be able to tell me if they have run into this in the past and how it was resolved.

Thanks,

Martin

    You cannot change the Standard Cost on an item set for that Valuation type, using the IM screen, if there have ever been any transactions for that item. Inventory value is calculated based on Standard Cost for that valuation, and updating the cost will necessarily require adjustments to your inventory value (GL and IM tables), when you have quantity on hand.
