Detailed explanation-1: -A cost adjustment is used when: the cost of a product has changed (a credit, rebate, or an extra charge for the products), but is indicated on a separate purchase invoice. freight or other charges are incurred and need to be added to the value of the inventory (rather than being expensed separately).
