Post calculated revaluation through the item journal batch
Description
A calculated revaluation line with nonblank "Inventory Value Per" represents an aggregate, not a finalized posting against one item ledger entry. Codeunit "Item Jnl.-Post Batch" distributes that value over eligible entries, handles rounding, and coordinates Item/SKU standard-cost updates. Calling the line poster directly skips that batch work even though the input is a valid "Item Journal Line".
Best Practice
Posting a prepared revaluation batch through "Item Jnl.-Post Batch" preserves the calculated line's valuation date, aggregation scope, location/variant filters, and revaluation fields. The batch expands summarized values into per-entry postings and checks that the eligible inventory has not changed; for partial revaluation it also rechecks remaining quantity before posting.
The public "Item Jnl.-Post Line".RunWithCheck API does not replace that orchestration. It remains legitimate for finalized individual-entry revaluation lines within a workflow that already supplies the necessary checks; the batch itself uses the line poster. Ordinary quantity journals and finalized per-entry revaluations are distinct from this summarized/partial-revaluation case.
The samples explicitly require "Value Entry Type" = Revaluation and a nonblank "Inventory Value Per" in an existing calculated journal batch. They demonstrate posting, not how to calculate a new valuation or choose a standard cost.

Anti Pattern
A loop that sends calculated aggregate revaluation lines straight to "Item Jnl.-Post Line" skips distribution over the underlying item entries. A partial-revaluation workflow without the remaining-quantity recheck can post a valuation against inventory that no longer matches the calculation.
Directly editing existing "Value Entry" cost amounts or the Item's unit cost does not repair those allocation and adjustment relationships. Their correction belongs to the revaluation/cost-adjustment workflow.
