  1. 01

    Receive

    Start with the material costs.

    Record quantities and costs as materials arrive. Receipts update the item’s weighted average cost—the average value of stock available to use.

  2. 02

    Plan

    Include the whole formula.

    List material quantities, packaging and service lines in the bill of materials. This is your production plan; it is not a posted batch cost.

  3. 03

    Produce

    Cost what you actually consume.

    Record input quantities and finished output. Production carries the value of consumed components and recorded service lines into finished stock.

  4. 04

    Inspect

    Check the remaining stock value.

    Open the valuation report for item and batch quantities, unit costs and total value. Follow the related records to understand a difference.
