Documentation
Definition
If you select this indicator, the system adopts the material price as a possible alternative value within the scope of error-tolerant FIFO valuation. The material price is the price from the material master as per the price control (moving average price or standard price) at the time specifed by the quantity comparison parameter in the FIFO method.
Use
Error-tolerant FIFO valuation offers you various options for determining how the system should react if the cumulated receipt quantity is smaller than the stock quantity to be valuated. You can use the appropriate parameters to configure in which tolerance area the system is to calculate a new FIFO price from an alternative value. As well as the material price, you can also take the last FIFO result calculated here. In addition, you can configure the system so that it interprets the oldest of the existing receipt records as the base receipt record, with which price the system valuates the difference between the receipt quantity and the stock quantity ("base value"). If you select more than one alternative, the system calculates an appropriate average price.
Dependencies
Example
You have configured the system so that it accepts the FIFO price calculated if the cumulated receipt quantity is at least 80% of the stock quantity to be valuated. If the cumulated receipt quantity is greater than 50% of the stock quantity to be valuated, the system looks for an alternative value. You have specified that this should always be the material price.
- Stock quantity to be valuated: 150 pieces
- Cumulated receipt quantity: 90 pieces
=> The cumulated receipt quantity is 60 % of the stock quantity to be valuated. The system adopts the material price as the new FIFO price.
