Stock Valuation

Use this report to show the value of stock items. You can produce the report in product, warehouse and category sequence and choose whether you want the costing based on the stock cost, stock last cost, warehouse cost or warehouse last cost. The report includes information about the in-stock quantity, cost price selling price and value. Options for the report determine whether negative or zero quantity stocks are included and whether the FIFO stock is valued by transaction cost.

Valuation Methods

This report calculates the stock value using the First In First Out (FIFO) method where possible. This method uses the transaction prices to calculate a valuation. The FIFO valuation on the report will match the valuation held in the Nominal Ledger for the relevant period in most situations. However, in those situations where an item has slipped into negative stock the valuation on this report may be different.

For items that are linked to Stock Profiles that are not marked to use the FIFO method, the valuation is calculated using the cost prices on the stock item or relevant warehouse. The non FIFO valuation should also match the valuation held in the Nominal Ledger for the relevant period. However, if the cost price on the stock item or relevant warehouse has changed the valuations will be different. This is because the Nominal Ledger is updated using the cost price at the time of receipt, whereas this report uses the cost price on the stock item or relevant warehouse on the Produce Report As At date.

Example 1: FIFO stock

Example 2: Non FIFO stock with standard costing

Example 3: Non FIFO stock with average costing

Traceable stock items can be valued at either the actual cost or an average cost. Stock items that have been issued for a works order in the Bill of Materials application, and landed costs can also be included on the report. More about Landed Costs
