Changing the Value on a Delivery Note

Why does the value on the issue slip change automatically and why can't it be overwritten?

Written by Lenka Haringerová

The price and value on an issue note are not entered manually; ABRA Flexi always calculates them according to the configured inventory valuation method. Occasionally, the value on an already existing issue note changes on its own. Below are the situations where this is expected behavior.


When the value on an issue note changes

After a subsequent receipt and settlement of issue requirements. This occurs after a subsequent receipt and settlement of issue requirements (even when the requirements are not settled manually and a new issue note with a requirement is simply created after the receipt - the requirement from the previous issue note is settled and a new one is created). This is described in detail in the article about updating issue requirements.

After a retroactive price change on a receipt note. If you change the price on a receipt note that already has issues linked to it, the new price is propagated through the FIFO links to all related issue notes. This is ensured by the stock recalculation, which in this case runs automatically.


The price on an issue note cannot be overwritten

The Price per unit field on an issue note is for informational purposes only and cannot be edited in the application. This is intentional: the issue price represents the actual cost of the issued goods and must correspond to the price at which the goods were acquired. If a user could overwrite it, the stock value would no longer match the value of the stock movements.

🚨 Never bypass the price on an issue note via the REST API. Through the API, manual entry of the price on an issue note can technically be enabled using the cenaRucne flag, allowing the value to be written directly. Do not do this, not even for integrations and implementations. The result is a mismatch between the stock quantity in units and its value in currency, which usually only becomes apparent later and is difficult to trace and correct.


Price on a transfer note

A transfer note starts with an issue from the source warehouse, so here too the price is determined by the valuation method and the user has no influence over it. The same price is then used on the receipt note that completes the transfer - both sides of the transfer must match.

If you need to add transport costs to the transfer, record them as additional costs on the receipt note that completes the transfer. However, you must always have a supporting document for them, typically an invoice from the carrier.
