Note

When a sale shipment transaction has been completed with the wrong costing, please be aware that the original transaction with the incorrect cost will remain in your system forever. However, you can resolve this by inserting another transaction to compensate for the original error. The process to do so is complex and hard.

Whatever compensation you do for the error can only be as of today.

See notes below.
