Transaction type Description Amount
Debit		 Amount
Credit		 Calculation/Result/Additional info
901 Stock value   100.00
Cost price * Quantity moved

10.00 * 10 = 100.00

This transaction decreases (credits) the stock value in the “from” warehouse (Warehouse CEN). The cost price for the item is retrieved from the Item file if the cost type is Standard cost (Standard cost field) or Average purchase cost (Average cost field). If the cost type is FIFO, the cost price is retrieved from the oldest active transaction in the FIFO file. If the quantity in the oldest transaction does not cover the entire moved quantity, the system also uses the second oldest transaction, and so on.

Cost price * Quantity moved

10.00 * 10 = 100.00

This transaction increases (debits) the stock value in the “to” warehouse (Warehouse STO). The cost price for the item is retrieved from the Item file if the cost type is Standard cost (Standard cost field) or Average purchase cost (Average cost field). If the cost type is FIFO, the cost price is retrieved from the oldest active transaction in the FIFO file. If the quantity in the oldest transaction does not cover the entire moved quantity, the system also uses the second oldest transaction, and so on.
