Documentation

Definition

Within the scope of error-tolerant FIFO valuation, this percentage specifies this threshold between the ranges within which a material cannot be valuated and an alternative value is used.

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. By entering two percentages, you can define three tolerance zones: adoption of the standard FIFO price, use of an alternative value, and flagging as a material that cannot be valuated in the standard way.

Dependencies

Example

You have configured the system here so that it cannot use the FIFO
procedure to valuate a material if the cumulated receipt quantity is less than 50 % of the stock quantity to be valuated. If the cumulated receipt quantity is greater than this, but still lower than the second percentage, the system looks for an alternative value.

- Stock quantity to be valuated: 200 pieces
- Cumulated receipt quantity: 90 pieces

=> The cumulated receipt quantity is 45 % of the stock quantity to be
valuated. The system does not use the FIFO procedure to valuate the
material but generates an appropriate message entry for the
material.
