Index

This parameter is used during the price adjustment called upon purchase invoice validation, cost price calculation or subcontracting adjustment (subcontracting invoices validated after the cost price calculation are taken into account).
It is used to specify the desired behavior for the absorption of stock valuation variances.

• When this parameter is set to "No": 
   
  The remaining stock is considered to be enough to absorb the valuation variance, leading to a MAP excessive increase. This increase is even higher when the following conditions are met: a low remaining quantity of stock and a significant valuation variance.
   
   
• When this parameter is set to "Yes":
   
  The invoice valuation variance is absorbed pro rata to the remaining quantities in stock, corresponding to the receipts linked to this invoice. If the quantity in stock corresponding to these receipts is zero, the valuation variance will not absorbed. This will avoid the MAP increase on the remaining stock not associated to these receipts.
   
   This parameter applies only to the “LIFO", "FIFO" and "MAP" management methods.
  If the management method is "Lot average price", this parameter is ignored: the absorption being performed on the remaining quantity of the lot, the rest being considered as non-absorbed.
