Running the Adjust Cost - Item Entries process and it has already running for 20 hours. We do have thousands of sales transactions and many production orders that need to be processed (and put away) however, I can’t believe that this product can not handle our volume. We are not a huge company.
Doesnt Sound like you have too much volume. You should get a DBA to look into your SQL Server. Disk speed is very important factor , btw.
Also as Amol has been referring , it might help to set automatic Cost adjust to true ,that would take care of the adjustment at the time of postings . That would slow the actual posting a bit down , but then you dont need to run the batch itself.
Even with Automatic Cost Adjustment, you stil need to run the periodic adjust cost. It just has less to do. IMHO - I’m not a fan of the “Automatic Adjust Cost”. I think it creates more problems then it solves.
Can the setting of the Automatic Cost Adjust flag be changed dynamically? i.e.: can I change the setting at any given time or would I have to run it, close all transactions, then make the change?
I have Dynamics NAV 2009 R2 SP1. When i run Adjust Cost Item Entries for a single product, it takes six (6) working days continuosly to complete, no body uses the server during this period (very frustrating).
Number of items >=4,871
Average Cost Calc Type =Item, but we have changed it to Item & Location & Variant but still no improvement.
Question: What can be done to reduce the time Adjust Cost Item Entries takes to complete from days to few hours?
Inventory Setup Settings -General are as follows:
Automatic Cost Posting YES
Expected Cost Posting YES
Automatic Cost Adjustment NEVER
Average Cost Calc Type = Item & Location & Variant
Average Cost Period MONTH
Transfer Bus Posting TRANSFER
Dynamics NAV 2009 R2 SP1 is installed on Dell PowerEdge 910, Windows 2008 R2 SP1, Processor Intel Xeon L7555@1.875 installed RAM=128GB, 64bit windows.
