Struggling to reconcile your cost of goods sold (COGS) or wondering why your inventory valuations don’t match up? For businesses running Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations, accurate inventory costing is critical – but often misunderstood.

In this session, we’ll walk through how inventory costing flows work in Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations, explain key valuation methods like FIFO, LIFO, Weighted Average, Moving Average and Standard Cost, and explore how these impact margins, profitability, and financial reporting.

Through a practical business case, we’ll show how your configuration choices affect revenue recognition, cost settlement, and gross profit – and share proven tips for reducing errors and improving costing accuracy across the supply chain.
