Operations Menu - Calculate FIFO

When the Production record is first entered, the I-cost column shows the Cost Price of each Item, taken from the Recipe record or, if no Recipe is being used, from the 'Costs' card of the Item record.

To show the FIFO values of the Items that will be used to build the assembled Item(s), select this function. The I-cost of the output Item will be changed accordingly, to show the sum of the FIFO values of the input Items. If there is more than one output Item, this sum will be distributed according to the percentages entered in the Rel. column.

There is a check box in the Stock Settings setting entitled FIFO Calculated Automatically. If you are using this option, the FIFO calculation will take place automatically when the Production record in marked as Finished and saved. This therefore bypasses the need to use the 'Calculate FIFO' function, although that function can still be used to see the FIFO values prior to saving.

The function has no effect once the Production has been marked as Finished and saved.
