| # Actual cost price for receipt posting The setting of the End Item Receipt Posting check box in the Shop Floor Control Parameters (tisfc0100s000) session and the valuation method can affect system performance and database growth. You can distinguish the following situations: End Item Receipt Posting check box is selected and valuation method is not FTP If the End Item Receipt Posting check box is selected, and the inventory valuation method on item/warehouse level is an actual costing valuation method such as FIFO, LIFO, MAUC, lot price or serial price, only a limited number of variance postings takes place because the end items are received in inventory at their actual production order costs. This means no price variance postings and efficiency postings take place, but additional calculation office variances can occur, especially if the Financial Transactions by Work Center check box is selected. The posting methods for variances defined in the Shop Floor Control Parameters (tisfc0100s000) session are not used. End Item Receipt Posting check box is selected and valuation method is FTP If the End Item Receipt Posting check box is selected, and the inventory valuation method on item/warehouse level is FTP, variance posting is done by SFC. LN processes inventory variances, which you can view in the Inventory Variances (whina1516m000) session. End Item Receipt Posting check box is cleared and the valuation method is not FTP If the End Item Receipt Posting check box is cleared, and the inventory valuation method on item/warehouse level is an actual costing valuation method such as FIFO, LIFO, MAUC, lot price or serial price, variance posting is done by SFC. LN processes inventory variances, which you can view in the Inventory Variances (whina1516m000) session. End Item Receipt Posting check box is cleared and valuation method is FTP If the End Item Receipt Posting check box is cleared, and the inventory valuation method on item/warehouse level is FTP, production variances are likely to occur and are logged according to the settings of the variance parameters in the Shop Floor Control Parameters (tisfc0100s000) session. This results in additional postings.
