stan,

I recall in earlier versions it WAS possible to change Costing Method for Item with recorded transactions, given that at the moment of change it has zero stock (and no “hanging” value, which may happen with Average costing). However, Dev license had to be used - maybe, for temporarily “disabling” the warning…

so…

for in this case, example they already using since 2009

2009-2011 → FIFO

2011 -… → Average

whether this will not interfere the costing???
