I updated my company’s system to the new version and half of my inventory item unit cost were wrong like 10 fold. I quickly found my old binary in the trash bin and reloaded a backup.
I dug down and found this reproducible example.
on a freshly built business, on version 24.12.2.1965
Make a new item
Make a Purchase Invoice, Qty=2Unit Price=100 at date 1 (e.g 2024/12/1)
Dear, I have issued the official financial statements dated June 30, 2024. The problem with the new version is that the cost of inventory on the same date 6/30/2024 has changed after the update in the new version as in the attached image. This results in a difference in the opening balances in inventory for the current fiscal year and the accounts associated with it, and this will not be acceptable to the auditing and regulatory authorities. Please help with solutions. Thank you
with the many complaints about this software update, the company should be responsible for returning the old update and making the new update an option, not a requirement. Iuse this paid application, feel disadvantaged and suffer because I get bookkeeping that has been arranged and locked in such a way that it becomes messy and I don’t know how to restore it
Before the update of (periodic revaluations). In the inventory tab I could press the Total cost value as a button and see how that Total cost was made step by step. but now it uses Qty owned*Unit cost so understandably it is no longer a button.
Is there another way to find the details? the button Recalculate above the Unit cost has access to that information, but not me.
I need this because I first purchase an item, then use purchase invoice from multiple suppliers as transporters to increase it’s cost. But I need to check an item from time to time to see if i missed entering one of the transportation invoices. or maybe I calculate the cost by hand and it doesnt match what I see in Manager and want to check how it was calculated. etc…
Edit: I also sometimes use Journal Entry or Payment to affect the cost of an inventory item. those are not visible when I press the Qty owned
I’m reaching out regarding the recent update and the removal of the “Total Cost” button in the inventory tab. Previously, this button allowed me to view a step-by-step breakdown of how the “Total Cost” was calculated, which was crucial for verifying costs.
Now, since “Total Cost” is calculated as Qty owned × Unit cost, I understand why it’s no longer a clickable button. However, I still need a way to:
Access all transactions that affect an inventory item’s cost, including purchase invoices, transportation invoices, journal entries, and payments.
Cross-check if any transportation invoices or other cost components were missed.
Manually verify calculations when the system’s values don’t match my expectations.
Currently, the Recalculate button above Unit Cost appears to have access to this detailed information, but it’s not accessible to me directly. Would it be possible to introduce a feature, perhaps under “Qty owned” or elsewhere, to view all cost-affecting transactions for a specific inventory item?
This feature would be incredibly helpful for managing and verifying inventory costs efficiently.
Thank you for your understanding and support in resolving this matter.
Please explain in far more detail why this is a problem for your business. See FAQ - Manager Forum specifically:
Be specific. Do not just tell us a feature does not work. Explain what you have done and why you think there is an issue. If your question relates to an apparent software problem (rather than an accounting topic), tell us your operating system (including the version), Manager edition (desktop, server, or cloud), and exactly what you think is wrong. If possible, post screen shots illustrating the problem.

Don’t post replies like “Bump”, “+1” or “Agreed." Use the Like button instead.
The Inventory Asset account seems to have no Debits/Credit history when clicked from Summary - only it directs Qty x Unit costs.
The other case we have seen is that this “Re-Calculate” Feature sometimes makes its own Rounding of its generated unit costs which makes differences when compared spread-sheet averaged on the same data.
Although you may think you have the same problem, you need to illustrate it yourself as per the referred forum FAQ. Otherwise, you should not have replied but just clicked the Like button, as per the referred forum FAQ. As a new forum user, I would strongly recommend familiarizing yourself with the FAQ - Manager Forum.
Dear group manager, I am facing a problem
I used the paid version of the program a few days ago. A discrepancy occurred in the inventory. The details of inventory costs disappeared and a mark appeared. Activating the button also disappeared from the columns. I was not able to view the details of inventory costs as shown in the picture.
When you click on the mark, the total costs and the total purchase invoices appear as unreal numbers. Before, each purchase invoice was shown in details with a total, and it used to show actual numbers. Now, no.
The screenshots do not make sense. The first one includes a control account AA Cars Inventry the edit screen of the Inventory item does not show the selection or presence of any control account.
You also did not click on the "?" and show the Edit screen of that same item you showed the edit screen for.
Without providing correct information no-one can help. I will stop here and hope for you that someone else can make sense of this.
Summary of the matter: You made an update that made a big difference in the program and in the work interface, as we noticed, and you know this. You do not need an explanation from each person individually. All the comments told you about the same problem. I saw all the posts talking about the same thing. The inventory and the cost of the inventory are wrong.
What you are doing is an unnecessary increase in inquiries. We are using a paid package, not a trial package. It is clear that at the beginning of the year we will change this system to another system. Thank you.
I am a paying Manager Server Edition user and not related to the company that produces Manager. I am a volunteer Forum user like you but also a volunteer moderator to help with keeping the forum organized. As mentioned I decided to stop helping you as you did not provide the correct information as requested and repeated.
Others are free to help you and I hope they manage.
