.. note::
When choosing :guilabel:`Average Cost (AVCO)` as the :guilabel:`Costing Method`, the numerical
value in the :guilabel:`Cost` field for products in the respective product category will no
longer be editable, and will appear grayed out. The :guilabel:`Cost` amount will instead
automatically update based on the average purchase price both of inventory on hand and the costs
accumulated from validated purchase orders.
When choosing :guilabel:`Average Cost (AVCO)` as the :guilabel:`Costing Method`, changing the
numerical value in the :guilabel:`Cost` field for products in the respective product category
creates a new record in the *Inventory Valuation* report to adjust the value of the product. The
: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
value, and any product moves from then on affect the average cost, and the cost of the product will
change. If the value in the :guilabel:`Cost` field on a product form is changed manually, Odoo will
generate a corresponding record in the *Inventory Valuation* report.

required fields given the change to automated inventory valuation. These accounts are defined as
