Unit Cost on Item Card shows a positive value

Hello,

Unit cost displays a positive value despite the stock being valued at zero is this normal ?, and if so why.

Thanks

By default, NAV does not update the Unit Cost field if the total value is 0. This is to preserve the historical unit cost once the items is out of stock

Hi Andrew,
Did you just answer your own question? Or didn’t I understand it. The Unit Cost field on the actual item card will always hold the last used or set Unit Cost. It’s used when creating new items, i.e. using the item journal.
Or do you have the classical NAV inventory issue of having an item with zero inventory, but still showing up on the item valuation list with a value?

Anyway have a great weekend.
