Use

The applications normally update the receipt data relevant for FIFO valuation (the quantities and values from goods receipts and value differences from invoices). The system creates a data record for each valuation level, material and posting period. You can use a document extract to then include documents posted in the R/3 System in the receipt data relevant for FIFO valuation. You can aggregate receipts for each posting period or store them as single receipts.

You need to transfer data that has already been posted in the following circumstances:

In this case, no FIFO receipt data exists yet.

FIFO data records that are automatically created when FIFO valuation is active are aggregated on a posting period basis. If you run valuation based on single receipts, you must create new FIFO data records.

For more information about receipts by posting period and single receipts, see the following example.

Activities

Note

When large volumes of data are involved, you should only update FIFO data using background processing.

To subsequently create FIFO data, proceed as follows:

  1. Choose Valuation ® Balance Sheet Valuation ® FIFO Valuation ® Prepare ® Create Doc. Extract.

    2. The system displays selection screen.

  2. Enter the FIFO method and specify the materials for which the system should transfer the FIFO-relevant movements.
  3. Specify whether the data is to be retrieved from a particular posting period or as required for each material. In the last case, the system only retrieves those receipts in the past that together result in the stock to be valuated.
  4. In the screen box Update, select Receipt data if you want the data to be updated.
  5. Choose This graphic is explained in the accompanying text Execute.

The system displays a list of the documents in question.
