FIFO and LIFO Costing Example

The TRANSACTION_INV Table

Transactions for PeopleSoft Inventory and PeopleSoft Manufacturing are inserted into the PeopleSoft Transaction History (TRANSACTION_INV) table. In this example, there are three transactions stocking item A into the US010 inventory business unit (020 Putaway transactions), and two transactions shipping item A out of the US010 business unit (030– Usage and Shipment transactions).

The CM_TRANSACTION Table

The Transaction Costing process expands the transactions in TRANSACTION_INV into the PeopleSoft Cost Management CM_TRANSACTION table, adding a separate row for each business unit and cost book combination.

The CM_RECEIPTS Table

The Transaction Costing process places 020– Putaway transactions into CM_RECEIPTS.

The CM_RECEIPT_COST Table

Data from the CM_RECEIPTS table and the CM_ACTUAL_COST table are used to calculate the receipt costs for the CM_RECEIPT_COST table. This is based on the cost type entered for the cost book on the Inventory Definition - Business Unit Books page.

The CM_DEPLETE Table

The process matches up each depletion transaction in CM_DEPLETION with a qualifying putaway from CM_ONHAND_VW. These depleted depletions are inserted into the CM_DEPLETE table. The Cost Flow field on the Cost Profiles page determines how receipts are matched with depletions.
