Costing Method at Zero Cost

When Zero Cost valuation is selected, inventory will be valued at zero cost irrespective of the purchasing rate and current balance at hand.

This is extremely useful in sub-contracting environments, where material quantities need to be tracked which are received from the principal, but which do not carry any monetary value with respect to our own books.
