Definition

If you select this indicator, the system uses the last FIFO price as the alternative value in error-tolerant FIFO valuation.

Use

Error-tolerant FIFO valuation provides different options that allow you to define how you want the system to react when the cumulative receipt quantity is less than the inventory quantity to be valuated. Parameters enable you to define the tolerance zone in which the system calculates a new FIFO price from an alternative value. The system can use the last FIFO price or the material price based on the price control. You can also specify that the oldest existing receipt record should be interpreted as the base receipt record and its price used to valuate the entire missing receipt quantity ("base value"). If you select more than one alternative option, the system calculates an average price.

Dependencies

Example

You have configured that you want the system to accept the FIFO price if the cumulative receipt quantity is at least 80% of the inventory to be valuated. If the cumulative receipt quantity is more than 50% of the inventory to be valuated, the system searches for an alternative value. You have specified that this is always the last FIFO price.

- Inventory quantity to be valuated: 150 pc

- Cumulative receipt quantity: 90 pc

In this example the cumulative receipt quantity is 60% of the inventory, so the system uses the last FIFO price as the new FIFO price.
