Cost

Inventory Costing Method decides what happens to a product's cost.

  • Fixed / Manual — cost changes only when you edit the product.
  • Weighted Average — when you receive a purchase order, the cost updates from the old stock and the new rate. Wholesale shops whose purchase rate moves should use this.
