Hi all,
we plan to use FIFO valuation method for some companies/sites.
While doing some testing on top of FIFO we see some challenges like:
- Intra-company transfers between sites
- when doing transfer from site using STD to site using FIFO with internal CO/PO, the FIFO bucket in receiving site is valuated by STD cost from the sending site to avoid any artificial profit/loss to be created during the transfer and ignoring any freight charges on the internal PO connected to the transfer
- Not possible to cancel internal receipts
- system is not allowing to cancel internal receipt when FIFO is used
- Recalculation of FIFO bucket cost history in case of a mistake
- I’m actually note sure if this is a pain (but I can imagine under some circumstances it could be), but it seems there is no system support to recalculate FIFO bucket cost history in case of a mistake (and I understand why since it might be quite complex exercise especially when having a lot of following receipts/issues after the requested bucket change), but may be somebody who is using FIFO in live, can confirm whether this is really a challenge or not
- etc.. ?
Is there any customer here using FIFO valuation method in live to exchange an experience?
Worth to mention we are not using MFG module (which might be adding another level of complexity), just Distribution.
