1 Introduction to JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Advanced Stock Valuation

This chapter contains the following topics:

1.1 JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Advanced Stock Valuation Overview

You use the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Advanced Stock Valuation system from Oracle to determine the current value of a company's stock. Stock is also referred to as inventory. Stock value is based on the total cost of the stock owned by a company at a specific time. The value of stock can vary, depending on the different methods used to calculate the total cost and the method used to value the stock.

You can value stock using one of these methods:

  • Replacement cost.

  • Average weighted cost.

  • First In, First Out (FIFO).

  • Last In, First Out (LIFO).
