Cost Accounting runs its own event-driven accounting engine (mirroring the pattern Subledger Accounting uses for AP/AR) in its own schema, separate from XLA — verify exact join columns against your instance.

How Fusion Cost Accounting values inventory transactions

Fusion Cost Accounting is a distinct accounting engine — separate from Subledger Accounting (SLA) — that costs inventory and WIP transactions as they happen: receipts, issues, transfers, and WIP completions. It maintains the current item cost (CST_ITEM_COST_DETAILS) and, under perpetual average/FIFO costing, cost layers (CST_LAYER_COST_DETAILS). Each costed transaction generates its own accounting distribution (CST_AE_HEADERS/CST_AE_LINES) before that entry is transferred to GL, using the same event-driven pattern SLA uses for AP/AR — just in Cost Accounting's own schema.
