FAQ:

Q:The price for a new part is not right.

A:CenPoint uses FIFO( First In First Out)

First in First out is how CenPoint uses the inventory costs because the cost may have changed over time when buying the part.

Example: You bought a part for $10.00 and you bought 10 of them , then you re-bought another 10 of that same part but the cost is now $15.00, 

CenPoint will not use the $15.00 price until the first 10 at $10.00 are consumed from the inventory.

If you need to use the new price, you can Adjust the quantity on hand to Zero then add the new parts or consume the parts internally.
