If it is possible please explain with one suitable example. One more doubt After i put check mark in automatic cost posting, then i run that batch job Post inventory cost to G/L. At which values(that means from which table) it is taking values to post to G/L. Have a nice day thanks and regards
Standard costing is a method where your inventory is valued individually at an agreed price for a fixed period and the pricing variances are tracked through variance accounts. This leads to the cost always being the standard. The time period is usually a year. Traditionally manufacturing businesses account in this manner to analyse margin for a fixed period, where the standard cost is made up of every conceivable element, fixed and variable overhead burden etc.
I would suggest you google standard costing, it is one of the fundamental accounting principles, although I should point out I am in no way an accountant. [:D]
