Depending upon the stock item, you can select the costing method for valuating the Stock item.
● At Zero Cost : Cost of an item is considered as zero. For example, for defective items that have no commercial value.
● Avg.Cost :
● Periodic system :
This is also known as Weighted Average Cost. The weighted average cost for the whole year is computed as below:
● Monthly system :
In monthly average cost, weighted average cost is determined on a monthly basis instead of annual.
● Periodic System : Under FIFO Periodic System, it is assumed that items purchased first are sold first under the current financial year (i.e., first lot from the opening stock of current year).
● Perpetual System : Under FIFO Perpetual system, it is assumed that items purchased first are sold first across the financial year (i.e., first lot may be from previous year entry). So cost of goods sold is based upon the cost of material received first in the period, while the cost of inventory is based upon the cost of material received last in the period.
● Last Purchase cost : Last purchase cost is Last purchase rate. Cost of goods sold and Cost of inventory is based upon the Last purchase rate.
● Periodic system: Under LIFO, it is assumed that items purchased last are sold first under the current financial year (i.e., first lot from the opening stock of current year)
● Perpetual System: Under LIFO Perpetual system, it is assumed that items purchased last are sold first across the financial year (i.e., first lot may be from previous year entry).
So cost of goods sold is based upon the cost of materials received last in the period, while the cost of inventory is based upon the cost of material received first in the period.
Standard Cost is Standard Rates specified in the Inventory master.
Cost of goods sold and Cost of inventory is based upon the Standard Rates.
By using Market valuation method, you can determine the realisable worth of an Item.
Unrealised Profit of an Item = Closing value as per Costing Method – Closing value as per Market valuation method.
Select the appropriate method applicable for the Item from the Valuation Methods List.
o At Zero Price : Realisable price of an item is considered as zero. For example, for defective items that have no realisable value in the market.
o Avg. Price : Weighted Average is computed as the sum of all invoice value / sum of all invoice quantity for the financial year.
o Last Sale Price : Item is valued at Last Sale Price.
o Standard Price : User specified rate applicable for the current date specified in Item master under Standard Rate is taken as the realizable rate.
● Ignore difference due to physical counting? : In Tally.ERP 9, you can record the physical stock as counted, using a physical stock voucher. If you wish to ignore the difference and continue with the stock as per books, set this option to Yes .
● Ignore negative balances? : If you set this to Yes , Tally.ERP 9 ignores the item in the stock reports, in case it has a negative balance.
● Treat all sales as new manufacture? : If you set this to Yes , whenever a sales entry is made, Tally.ERP 9 automatically updates the quantity and value in inward by treating the same entry as a New manufacture or purchase.
● Treat all purchases as consumed? : If you set this to Yes , then, whenever a purchase entry is made, Tally.ERP 9 automatically updates the quantity and value in outward by treating the same entry as consumed.
● Treat all rejections inward as scrap? : If you set this to Yes , then, whenever a rejection inward entry has been made [without tracking number], Tally.ERP 9 automatically reduces the amount from the closing stock balance. In this case, you need not pass the credit note for reducing the value against rejection inward. This is used for defective items returned by the customer.
● Allow use of expired batches? :This option will get enabled once you enable the Use expiry dates under Maintain in Batches option. If you set this to Yes , during selection of batches in voucher entry, expiry batches also get included in the List of Active Batch .
