- Microsoft added a cost warning in Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 and 2013 for cost variances. If you invoice a single shipment using more than one invoice and the costs of those invoices differ, you will get a warning that your costs don't match. Posting updates the total quantity of the purchase receipt with this cost and your inventory and general ledger will not balance. You can proceed with the transaction, save it to a batch, or delete it. Only this warning is new, this is not a change to functionality. For more information about this warning, see the Dynamics GP Support and Services Blog.
