Cost Adjustment. That’s the name of the screen. You can modify average or last cost there just like you would update a standard cost.

It does re-value your on-hand inventory, fair warning.
So if you are correcting a mistake, this may not get the whole of it, if the OH qty is not the same as when the mistake happened (i.e. you shipped some parts since then and Cost of Sales is wrong now).
And to prevent this, Epicor recommends (and users don’t like) is whenever you return items, enter a Debit Memo. IF you want the parts returned, add a new line on the PO for the same cost and receive them at that price. This will protect your average cost calculation.
There’s another work-around that I’ve seen and that is to send the parts out on a subcontract PO at zero cost. The cost of the job should be the total of the raw material so the receipt should go back into stock at the same cost. Try it out first if you choose this method.
