Dear All , 

I wanna know when AX2012 reverse inventory recalculation at the time of inventory closing? 
We had run recalculation and it took 3 days and after checking the process , we want to close inventory , now 
it is our question , if there is not any changes on the transactions , again system reverses recalculation and run it again at the time of closing ?
it means closing inventory needs 3 days more for closing .

Would you please let us know your feedback ?

With Regards,

Hi Kajal!
In general, using costing methods such as FIFO will use the average costing method within a fiscal period until. Inventory recalc should be run within a period to make adjustments to transactions and ‘true up’ or match inventory to the FIFO model within a period. The inventory close is done at month-end (or period end) to settle the transactions within the month. Keep in mind: recalc adjusts but does not settle. Close will adjust and settle. If recalc is taking a long time to run, try to run more frequently so it can adjust transactions (and on the subsequent run of recalc, only adjust the new transactions which have happened in the period, not all of them). Depending on the volume of transactions, some companies run recalc nightly – others run it weekly. Since Inventory Recalc isn’t posting settlements, there isn’t something to reverse at close from a GL perspective. A helpful link is below with further details:
