When choosing :guilabel:`Average Cost (AVCO)` as the :guilabel:`Costing Method`, the numerical
94-
value in the :guilabel:`Cost` field for products in the respective product category will no

When choosing :guilabel:`Average Cost (AVCO)` as the :guilabel:`Costing Method`, changing the
94+
numerical value in the :guilabel:`Cost` field for products in the respective product category
95+
creates a new record in the *Inventory Valuation* report to adjust the value of the product. The
96+
:guilabel:`Cost` amount will then automatically update based on the average purchase price both
97+
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
100+
:guilabel:`Standard` costing method **do not** change value; rather, the existing units keep their
101+

102+
change. If the value in the :guilabel:`Cost` field on a product form is changed manually, Odoo will
103+
generate a corresponding record in the *Inventory Valuation* report.
