Guess you are running at NAV 5.0.

It is a matter of “average costing” in general. This “issue” has been changed in NAV 5, aot you now have an option in Inventory Setup: Average Cost Period, which affects item using Costing Method = Average. And as one of the options in Inventory Setup is “Accounting Period”, a change in periods [most likely] will cause a change in costs.

Read about this in NAV help Contents → Inventory → Inventory Costing → Average Cost.

yes, i am using NAV 5.0.

and my average costing period is “week” not “accounting period”

and i checked the help and i know the concepts there, and nothing mentioned about a change in the Fiscal year in the accounting period will cause the item costs to change.
