Summary:
1. FA uses Average Costing (COGS) for now, when delivering.
2. To handle FIFO we need an extra field in stock_moves indicating how many of the items have been checked out/in.
3. The stock_master fields are updated whenever there is a purchase.

Thanks for your response.

I need to use either LIFO of FIFO method with FA. How can do that? Is there any alternative for LIFO or FIFO, how can I use that on FA? I really love this great project, but I need to get this answers badly.

Regards.

FA doesn't use FIFO or LIFO. FA uses average material costs.
