Correcting UOM errors in standard cost environment

[ultrav]

Progression SQL 7.6.400b

We have a number of purchased items that were entered with the wrong UOM or wrong ratio. Now when trying to correct the error we run into issues because standard costing overrides the corrections - any way to make a correction to the cost of a purchased item that will only be overridden when purchased again? How does everyone else correct these errors (put in a fake PO & receiving and credit it out? put in a receipt through transactions?)?

Thanks for the input

Please explain what you mean by "standard costing overrides the corrections". What are you doing to correct these items? Do you wish to change your qty in inventory or std cost without a G/L effect?

The cost is incorrect - the inventory numbers have been corrected through cycle counts but the costs are way off - if I put in a cost adjustment through inventory transactions - it only holds until the next time I run standard costing - then the last cost overrides it. So I guess my real question is any way to change the last cost?

You could unlock protected fields in IM setup. Change the last cost on Location files. Recheck protected fields. Since you are on Standard, there is no GL effect.
