Hi @Danny Richardson!
Look, once you define the costing method, by default it is not possible to modify it. You must understand that the method determines the costing method that differs. Since it is already in use, if you change it, it is possible that a distorted value will be generated that no one will know how to understand where it comes from (because it would be a value that started with one method and in the middle changed to another).
A recommendation: creates a new item, defines the new costing method and discontinues the previous one.
You could do a test, take an example item, update based on the costing method (for example, from FIFO to AVERAGE in INVENTORY.COSTTYPE) and verify if Maximo reacts well and calculates AVERAGE from there. But you would have to try it.
If you ask me? I think it's going to go wrong (that's why it's not possible to change the inventory costing type). Unless you know that they are inventories that are out of stock and without movements. But if there are movements, when something impacts... how will it impact? You should try it very well.
Regards!

Subject: Is it possible to change COSTTYPE in MXINVENTORY?
Hello all,
I can pull the Cost Type, but when I try to change it, it does not update.
Having to change this for thousands of items, so any advice would greatly be appreciated.
Thank you
