Dynamics GP Bill of Materials and Kits http://computerationdynamics.blogspot.com/2009/06/dynamics-gp-bill-of-materials-and-kits.html
We have received a number of recent queries about the difference between Inventory Assembly Bill of Materials, Manufacturing Bill of Materials, and Kits.
From the simplest to the most complex, Kits:
Kits are transparent in inventory. Only the component quantities exist in inventory; the kit is assembled at the moment of sale, i.e., when the invoice is posted. Kit components can be swapped in and out.
The system will automatically open the Sales Quantity Shortage Options form if any component is not in…

To Check or Not to Check: Understanding Landed Cost's Invoice Match and Revalue Inventory Options in Microsoft Dynamics GP http://dynamicsgpblogster.blogspot.com/2008/07/to-check-or-not-to-check-understanding.html
Dynamics GP presents two selection options in the Landed Cost Maintenance screen: Invoice Match and Revalue Inventory. These two options have profound accounting effects in how inventory and purchases are tracked in GP. The following is provided as is and was posted by Marge Swanson, Senior Software Development Engineer at Microsoft in response to a user's

If you do not mark Invoice Match, the distributions will be reversed from the accrued purchases account used on the Shipment – which defaults from the Landed Cost card. If you mark Invoice Match, the distributions will be…

Using the Adjust Costs inventory Utility http://dynamicsconfessions.blogspot.com/2009/11/blog-post.html
Adjust Costs.
It looks like a simple enough tool and it does exactly what you tell it to do. However, read on, what it does may not be exactly what you want it to do. Here's what it does. Say you have a purchase receipt that went through the system at $1465. Several of the items were sold but now the inventory is obsolete and the powers that be task you to write it off. They still want the items in inventory in case they can sell…

However, the conversion to the live company requires transfering the Inventory Master tables, including the Item Quantity Master (IV00102) table. This table hosts the Quantity On Hand and Quantity Available fields per site which can already be affected by the transactions previously tested.
In order to reset the values in these fields without any SQL…

It goes without saying that any company maintaining an inventory has had reconciliation issues between the valuation in the Inventory Module and the General Ledger control account or accounts.

Stocking UOM = EACH
