How to use costing method FIFO in ERPinCloud:-
Step 1: Create purchase order-1 of 4 quantities for that product and set different unit price other than defined in product and click on receive product
Step 2: Check Journal Entry and the amount which is calculated based on the cost price defined in purchase order-1
Cost price= 80 (Defined in purchase order-1)
80*4=320 (4 =number of quantities)
Step 3: Check product cost price which remains unchanged
Step 4: Create purchase order-2 of 5 quantities for that product and set different unit price and click on receive product
Step 5: Check Journal Entry and the amount which is calculated based on the unit price defined in purchase order-2
Unit price= 110 (Defined in purchase order-2)
110*5=550 (5 =number of quantities)
Step 6: Check product cost price which remains unchanged
Step 7: Create Sale order of 7 quantities of that product which has costing method as FIFO and click on deliver
Step 8: Check Journal Entry and the amount which is calculated based on FIFO
Calculation: Purchase Order-1 is created for 4 quantities at a cost price of 80
Purchase Order -2 is created for 5 quantities at a cost price of 110
As Sales order is for 7 quantities, so 4 quantities is charged at cost price of 80 (4*80=320)
And remaining 3 quantities is charged at cost price of 110 (3*110=330)
As costing method is FIFO 4 quantities is charged as per first purchase order cost price and remaining 3 quantities is charged as per second purchase order cost price
Step 9: Product cost price is changed
As Sales order is for 7 quantities, so 4 quantities is charged at cost price of 80 (4*80=320)
And remaining 3 quantities is charged at cost price of 110 (3*110=330)
As costing method is FIFO 4 quantities is charged as per first purchase order cost price and remaining 3 quantities is charged as per second purchase order cost price
So cost price of product is calculated as (330+320)/7=92.86
