When choosing :guilabel:`Average Cost (AVCO)` as the :guilabel:`Costing Method`, the numerical

accumulated from validated purchase orders.

numerical value in the :guilabel:`Cost` field for products in the respective product category

:guilabel:`Cost` amount will then automatically update based on the average purchase price both
of inventory on hand and the costs accumulated from validated purchase orders.

When the :guilabel:`Costing Method` is changed, products already in stock that were using the
:guilabel:`Standard` costing method **do not** change value; rather, the existing units keep their
