[ADD] accounting: Perpetual and periodic inventory valuation use cases? Link to mementoes 2015-10-30 19:53:50 +07:00			`inventory/avg_price_valuation`
[IMP] Inventory valuation method (FGI review) Spec: - In accounting doc remove the last three topics and replace them by the memento. They all head to the old memento. - add links to new memento in following page: https://www.odoo.com/documentation/user/9.0/inventory/routes/strategies/removal.html - The following doc topic "What costing method should you use? (standard, average, fifo)" heads to the former memento https://www.odoo.com/documentation/functional/valuation.html#costingmethod This memento does not answer this complex question at all actually. Please remove it. - The introduction text should be before "Costing Method" title: Every year your inventory valuation has to be recorded in your balance sheet. This implies two main choices: the way you compute the cost of your stored items (Standard vs. Average vs. Real Price); the way you record the inventory value into your books (Periodic vs. Perpetual). - New definition for FIFO (right side): For Real Price (FIFO, LIFO, FEFO, etc), the costing is further refined by the removal strategy set on the warehouse location or product's internal category. The default strategy is FIFO. With such method, your inventory value is computed from the real cost of your stored products (cfr. Quantitative Valuation) and not from the cost price shown in the product form. Whenever you ship items, the cost price is reset to the cost of the last item(s) shipped. This cost price is used to value any product not received from a purchase order (e.g. inventory adjustments). FIFO is advised if you manage all your workflow into Odoo (Sales, Purchases, Inventory). It suits any kind of users. - Add definition for LIFO method: For Real Price (FIFO, LIFO, FEFO, etc), the costing is further refined by the removal strategy set on the warehouse location or product's internal category. The default strategy is FIFO. With such method, your inventory value is computed from the real cost of your stored products (cfr. Quantitative Valuation) and not from the cost price shown in the product form. Whenever you ship items, the cost price is reset to the cost of the last item(s) shipped. This cost price is used to value any product not received from a purchase order (e.g. inventory adjustments). LIFO is not permitted outside the United States. - New definition for Average Price: The Average Price method recomputes the cost price as a receipt order has been processed, based on prices defined in tied purchase orders: FORMULA (see here attached) The average cost does not change when products leave the warehouse. From an accounting point of view, this method is mainly justified in case of huge purchase price variations and is quite unusual due to its operational complexity. Your actually need a software like Odoo to easily keep this cost up-to-date. This method is dedicated to advanced users. It requires well established business processes because the order in which you process receipt orders matters in the cost computation. - In Continental memento: If the stock value decreased, he makes it upside down. -> If the stock value decreased, the "Inventory" account is credited and the "Inventory Variations" debited. - Remove "[1] products leaving the stock have no impact on the average price." Now added to average price definition. - At the botton, add links to following docs: What is a removal strategy (FIFO, LIFO, FEFO, Specific Indentification): https://www.odoo.com/documentation/user/9.0/inventory/routes/strategies/removal.html Impact on the average price valuation when returning goods: https://www.odoo.com/documentation/user/9.0/accounting/others/inventory/avg_price_valuation.html How to integrate landed costs in the cost of the product? https://www.odoo.com/documentation/user/9.0/inventory/routes/costing/landed_costs.html 2016-03-08 16:12:06 +07:00			`../../../inventory/management/reporting/valuation_methods_continental`
