AP Credit Memo and Good return, creates differences between TB and Stock Audit Report

Question

Hello Experts,
Did any one has ever faced an issue, whereby AP Credit Memo and Good Return creates discrepancy between journal entry and the stock audit report?
Here is the scenario:
AP Credit Memo
Description
Quantity
Unit Price
Total
Item A
                30
            3,400
   102,000
Journal Entry :
Debit
Business Partner
     105,000
        Credit
                      Stock
     105,000
Inventory Audit Report
Description
Quantity
Cost
Transaction Amount
Item A
                        30
                     3,500
                                                105,000
Journal Entry :        
Debit
Business Partner
     105,000
        Credit
                      Stock
        105,000
The difference is actually due to the moving average, but the strange part is why the difference is not posted in the journal entry, in the Price different account?
This makes the stock account amount to be different from the Trial Balance and the Stock Audit Report.
And this is applied also on the Good Return transaction.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Best Regards

Hi Cedric,
Price & Item cost are different.
while making goods return , Direct AP Credit Note, Sales Delivery, Direct AR Invoice, stock is going outside.
In these transactions Journal entry will happen for Item cost and not Item sales or Purchase price.
Please enable item cost field in line level and check whether above formulae is matching with Item, cost field.
Then what is the importance of price in these documents??
Price is the agreed selling or purchase price for trading with Customer and supplier.
In your example
You are returning back material worth 105000(as per moving average price), but supplier is supposed to give only you 102,000.
Hope you understand
Thanks
