Use the following procedures to recalculate the item balance and history information. If the period posting history or item customer, vendor and warehouse history by period files become damaged for any reason, this utility will realign and recalculate item history based on transaction data. Item history is recalculated by using the Recalculate Item History utility, or through changes made in Inventory Management Options or Fiscal Year Maintenance.
Note For any changes made in Fiscal Year Maintenance or to the option that inventory periods are based on in Inventory Management Options, the item balance and history information must be recalculated before those changes are accepted.
Back up your data before recalculating item balance and history.
