average cost

I believe I know how the average cost is calculated, but am wondering if this then affects the markup % and or the actual product cost.
We seem to be finding that some of our products seem to change the markup % or the cost of the product giving us a different retail price. I have been told by the staff that no one is going into the products and changing anything. Is it possible that something else in the system is effecting these two things to change the price?

A function that changes the cost is receiving a Purchase Order where the cost were changed in the PO.  And the Avg Cost is changed by receiving a PO.  Importing products will change the cost.

So changing the cost in the PO not only changes the average cost it also affects the retail cost and changes the markup % or the cost of the product without user input? What do you mean when you say import products, what function is that?

You have the option of changing the cost in a PO.  Nothing changes it automatically.
