You can use the method Inventory Determination, Without Planned Costs, With Milestone Billing to:
The inventory is canceled as soon as actual revenues are received. If actual costs are incurred in a subsequent period but no actual revenues are received, the system again creates inventory in the amount of the actual costs of the period.

® Results Analysis ® Valuation Method.Features
R(PA) = R(a)
C(PA) = 0 if R(a) per = 0
If R(a) per <> 0 then C(PA) cum = C(a) cum
If R(a) per = 0 then C(z) = C(a) cum
Cum = cumulative values since the last actual revenue
Per = results analysis period
