It explains how the system physically links flows via the Item Application Entry table and why inventory value is a "living" data point that continuously refines itself until the final period closing.

Choosing a method (FIFO, Average, Standard) directly impacts taxes and cash flow. Business Central automates these flows, but the strategy is human: should you appear wealthy or preserve cash to reinvest?
