Actual Costing Method | Inventory Valuation With Actual Costing Method | Actual Costing Method at Item Level.
Overview
The "Actual Costing Method" is a precise cost accounting approach that tracks the exact material cost for each lot or serial number, rather than relying on average costing, FIFO (First In, First Out), or standard costing methods. By calculating costs directly from purchase or manufacturing orders, this method enables detailed and accurate costing reports. Unlike Odoo’s Standard Costing, which assigns a fixed cost per product, FIFO, which uses the cost of the oldest stock items, and Average Costing (AVCO), which calculates a weighted average for all stock items, the Actual Costing Method records the real value of each received product and retains that specific cost for all subsequent transactions.
This approach is particularly useful for reducing variances that may arise with traditional costing methods. By assigning an exact cost to each inventory item, it provides a clear and precise view of material costs, allowing businesses to analyze the costs of purchase and manufacturing orders in real-time, even before orders are finalized. This level of detail enhances cost control and overall inventory management, offering a more accurate assessment of actual product costs.
