Weighted average cost

How aPOS blends old stock cost with the new delivery.

In aPOS Opening inventory / purchases

On-hand value ÷ on-hand qty after each receipt. Finished items you stock after a production batch pick up that produced cost. Recipe-on-Sale items use recipe cost instead of a fake purchase price.

What this is

On-hand value ÷ on-hand qty after each receipt. A dearer Male’ delivery lifts the average for the units still in the fridge.

Opening inventory preview uses the same idea before you post.

Finished products

  • Batch-Stocked (you posted a production batch): the bun’s stock cost is the produced cost, then WAC as further batches land.
  • Recipe-on-Sale (typical latte): there is no finished on-hand to average. Direct cost is the recipe for one sale.

Do not type a pretend purchase price on a Finished Product to “seed” WAC. Item Type controls this, not Product Category.

Example

100 pcs at Rf 1.00 plus 50 pcs at Rf 1.40 → 150 pcs at Rf 1.13.
