LIFO Valuation Based on Period Receipts

When you use period receipts as a basis, the value of the receipts for the period is 1100.00 for a receipt quantity of 100 pieces.

A layer is created for 30 pieces. If the value is determined on a progressive quantity fill-up basis, the value of the layer is 30 x 1100.00 / 100 pieces = 330.00.

LIFO Valuation Based on Single Receipts

When you use single receipts as a basis, the system splits up the values from the invoice among the goods receipts in chronological order on a progressive quantity fill-up basis.

1st goods receipt

20 pieces

200.00

240.00

2nd goods receipt

80 pieces

800.00

860.00

The LIFO value of the two goods receipts is calculated as follows:

200.00 + (20 pieces x 100.00 / 50 pieces) = 240.00 or

800.00 + (30 pieces x 100.00 / 50 pieces) = 860.00

A layer is created for 30 pieces. If the value is determined on a progressive quantity fill-up basis, the value of the layer is 240.00 + 10 x 860.00 / 80 pieces = 347.50.
