Average Costing

 Average costing is worked out by the number of stock items coming into the system with a value. 

This value is posted to the general ledger books to your stock ledger account and Creditors control account. 

When the next Goods Received Note with stock comes in, the value of the incoming stock and quantity is worked out. 

The existing stock quantity and value is multiplied to give you a value and the new value from the Goods Received Note is added together and then divided to give you the new average cost of the item.

Looking at the table below the average cost of the item is worked out each time stock comes in based on quantity and value. 

If the user does not back date any GRV or revalue the stock, one can work out the average cost of the item in excel and in history sorting by audit date and time.

If a stock value adjustment has been made, the system will work out from the last stock value adjustment

 

 Total Line Value = QTY x Unit Value

Total Value           = Previous Total Value + New Total Line Value

Total QTY           = Previous Total QTY + New Line QTY

Ave Cost           = Total Value / Total QTY
