Historical Worth

The Historical Worth is similar to $$Worth$$, its the number of the items in stock by the most recently submitted cost instead of most recently recieved cost. i.e. you may recieve an item then sell it before its stock reciept is created.

Example;
When using $$FiFo$$

Sunday you recieve 10 items for $4 per item and put in a stock reciept, the total cost is $40 with a total worth of $40.
then you recieve another 10 items at a cost of $5 and submitt a stock receipt, then you will have 20 items at a total worth of $100 (at $5 each) and a total cost of $40 + $50 = $90.

On Monday you recieve an additional 10 items at a $6, with out submitting a stock reciept at the time.
On tuesday we sold 25 items. At this stage NBA AMicus will believe the cost to be $5 per item and records the sale item cost at $5 per item.

On wednesday we submitt the stock reciept for the 10 items at the cost price of $6 each.
Note: the sale records are not modified.
If a report is run for the period from Sunday untill Thurday, we will have the following results;

When calculating by cost the total will be, $40 (for the first 10) + $50 (for tthe second 10) + $25 (5x$5) (for 5 of the last 10), the cost is taken directly form the sale item record.
When calculating by worth total will be , $60 (for the first 10) + $60 (for the second 10) + $30 (5x$6) (for 5 of the last 10),
When calculating by historical worth, the total will be, $50 (for the first 10) + $50 (for the second 10) + $25 (5x$5) (for 5 of the last 10),

This shows that the worth is calculated from the last recieved cost, while the Historical Worth is calculated from the last submitted cost.
