5. Serial/Lot Cost
You now have the ability to cost serial and lot items by the system cost (costing method for the module). The feature provides for GAAP compliance. Select from A-Averaged Actual or S-System Cost. The default setting for each Static Control F/M is A-Averaged Actual. The net result of selecting S-System Cost is that serial/lot items will be costed like non-serial/lot items.
