Editing a Part Inventory

You can update the part inventory details as needed. For example, a vendor no longer carries a brand of oil filters that your agency uses, but carries a different brand for the same type of an oil filter. In this case, go the part inventory, search for oil filter, and then change the brand in the part details.

    Calculate Type Select the calculate type, Accela Civic Platform - Asset uses this type to calculate the average cost of the part: Simple Average: The average cost is equal to the sum of the unit cost of a current shipment and existing average cost, divided by two. Simple Average provides the average value of the existing average cost and the cost per unit of the current shipment.

    Weighted Average: This is the same as the Simple Average, but weighted by quantity. Weighted Average means that the existing part quantity is multiplied by the existing average cost and then the quantity of the current shipment is multiplied by the unit cost of the shipment. Then Accela Civic Platform - Asset divides the sum of these values by the total part quantity.
