| This topic describes the inventory valuation method of lot pricing. Using the Lot Price (Lot) valuation method, the inventory is valued against a price that is differentiated for each lot. The lot price is determined at the first receipt of the lot. If the price of the item changes and subsequent receipts are performed for the same lot, the inventory is still valued against the lot price determined at the first receipt of the lot. The price variance between the first receipt and subsequent receipts is balanced as a lot result in the financial reconciliation. For further information about financial reconciliations, refer to the User's Guide for Financial Integration and Reconciliation Transactions (U8967B US). Example A purchase order lists one lot with a total quantity of 90 electric switches. The purchase price of the first receipt of 50 switches is $5 each. As a result, the lot price of the switches is $5 each.
Lot price | 5
Receipt 1 | 50 switches of $5 each
Receipt 2 | 30 switches of $6 each
Receipt 3 | 10 switches of $6.5 each
The next day, you receive another 30 switches for the same lot with purchase price $6, and after one more day you receive the remainder at a purchase price of $6.50 each. Because the lot price is determined at the first receipt, the lot price is still $5 each for the second and third receipt. The lot result for the second and third receipt is $ -30 (150 - 180) and $ -15 (50 - 65), respectively. To set up lot pricing To use the inventory valuation method Lot Price (Lot): In the Items - Warehousing (whwmd4500m000) session, select: The Lot Price check box. The Lots in Inventory check box.
