No. We cant use Average Costing if WIP is installed.
Under Average Costing, the unit cost is derived by
averaging the value of all receipts of that item to inventory, on a per unit basis. Each receipt to the inventory updates the unit cost of the received item. Issues from inventory uses the current average cost as the unit cost. (Transaction value + Current inventory value) Average Cost= --------------------------------------------------(Transaction qty. + current on-hand qty.) Transaction Value = PO price x Transaction qty. Q13 Under Standard Costing, how does the system get the unit cost? We have to define unit cost of all the items as standard cost and the difference between the defined standard cost and the actual cost are recorded as variances. Under Standard Costing we can share costs across multiple organizations and hence the standard costs will be defined only in one organization. The Cost Master Organization will normally be the Item Master Organization. Q14 What is Purchase Price Variance (PPV)?
When using the standard Costing, the difference between
the defined standard cost and the actual cost are recorded as Purchase Price Variance (PPV) PPV = (PO Unit Price Standard unit Cost) x Qty. Received. Purchase Price Variance is not used for Average Costing. Q15 What is Invoice Price Variance (IPV)? Invoice Price Variance (IPV) is the difference between PO unit price and the actual invoice unit price multiplied by the quantity invoiced. IPV = Invoiced
(PO Unit Price Invoice unit Price) x Qty.
FIFO is also known as Layer Costing in Oracle. It is because items are received and grouped together sharing same cost. FIFO layers are maintained at Item/Org/Cost Group level.
