This example demonstrates split valuation for a single site. As goods are received, they are assigned to either promotion or normal stock based on the purchase orders, and the inventory is reevaluated accordingly. Likewise, with each sale, inventory for the corresponding type of stock is reevaluated.
For normal stock, the purchase price is $10 and the sale price is $15.
For promotion stock, the purchase price $8 and the sale price is $12.
