Symptoms

When processing Variance Accounting (R31804) over some Weighted Average (02) Work Orders, the system produces IC entries that have unexpectedly high amounts.

The issue can be reproduced at will with the following steps:
1. Create a Work Order (P48013) for a Actual Cost (Weighted Average) manufactured item; the order quantity should be for a high amount.
2. Attach the Parts List and Routing with Order Processing (R31410).
3. Enter Material and Labor Transactions (P31113, P311221).
4. Complete the full amount (P31114).
5. Enter more material (P31113) or hours and quantities transactions (P311221).
6. Run Manufacturing Accounting (R31802A).
7. Create Sales Orders (P4210) for the item that eventually ship some of the inventory (P4205).
8. Run Variance Accounting (R31804); notice that the adjusting IC entries are for an unexpected high value.
