Why Does the SIV Differ Between the Stock Record and the Stock List?

The SIV (Stock Invoice Value) may appear different in the stock record and the stock list due to the way Margin VAT is applied in the system.

Key Reason for the Difference

• The SIV in the Stock Record includes Margin VAT.
• The SIV in the Stock List does not include Margin VAT.

This discrepancy occurs because the Stock Record SIV is designed for internal financial tracking, while the Stock List SIV is formatted for salespeople to determine the minimum selling price.
