Actual standard cost for receipt posting

The setting of the End Item Receipt Posting check box in the Production Order Parameters (tisfc0100s000) session and the valuation method can affect system performance and database growth. You can distinguish the following situations:

End Item Receipt Posting check box is selected and valuation method is not FTP
If the End Item Receipt Posting check box is selected, and the inventory valuation method on item/warehouse level is an actual costing valuation method such as FIFO, LIFO, MAUC, lot price or serial price, only a limited number of variance postings takes place because the end items are received in inventory at their actual production order costs. This means no price variance postings and efficiency postings take place, but additional calculation office variances can occur, especially if the Financial Transactions by Work Center check box is selected. The posting methods for variances defined in the Production Order Parameters (tisfc0100s000) session are not used.
End Item Receipt Posting check box is selected and valuation method is FTP
If the End Item Receipt Posting check box is selected, and the inventory valuation method on item/warehouse level is FTP, variance posting is done by JSC. LN processes inventory variances, which you can view in the Inventory Variances (whina1516m000) session.
End Item Receipt Posting check box is cleared and the valuation method is not FTP
If the End Item Receipt Posting check box is cleared, and the inventory valuation method on item/warehouse level is an actual costing valuation method such as FIFO, LIFO, MAUC, lot price or serial price, variance posting is done by JSC. LN processes inventory variances, which you can view in the Inventory Variances (whina1516m000) session.
End Item Receipt Posting check box is cleared and valuation method is FTP
If the End Item Receipt Posting check box is cleared, and the inventory valuation method on item/warehouse level is FTP, production variances are likely to occur and are logged according to the settings of the variance parameters in the Production Order Parameters (tisfc0100s000) session. This results in additional postings.

End Item Receipt Posting	Inventory valuation method	Relative impact on database growth
Selected	FIFO, LIFO, MAUC, lot price, serial price	Low
Selected	FTP	Medium
Cleared	FIFO, LIFO, MAUC, lot price, serial price	High
Cleared	FTP	High
