Use this activity to define the default inventory valuation method used for inventory parts at your site. This mandatory task is to be performed by a system administrator or equivalent person.
There are four inventory valuation methods from which you can choose:
Type | Description |
Weighted Average | Inventory value will be recalculated at every new purchase order arrival based on the purchase price. IFS/Costing will not affect the inventory value when this valuation method is used. |
Standard Cost | Default. Inventory value will be based on a fixed value that is either manually entered on the inventory part, or calculated in IFS/Costing. |
First In First Out | FIFO. Inventory value will vary between different purchase order receipts based on the purchase price. When the stock is shipped, the cost will be calculated based on the FIFO method. |
Last In First Out | LIFO. Inventory value will vary between different purchase order receipts based on the purchase price. When the stock is shipped, the cost will be calculated based on the LIFO method. |
