Hi Alteryx Community,
I am working on an inventory management project and need assistance with calculating the closing inventory quantity and cost using the FIFO method in Alteryx. I have transaction records for three item codes, including opening and closing quantities and costs for each item.
Case Description:
For example, the item code VERNON has the following details:
To verify the accuracy, I manually tracked the remaining quantities from the latest purchases:
Result
QTY | Cost | Purchase unit cost | Entry No | |
Latest Purchase 1 | 720 | 139,143 | 193 | 4346382 |
Latest Purchase 2 | 110 | 20,245 | 184 | 4291681 |
Total QTY | 830 | 159,388.289 | ||
Diff | - | 0.000700 | 0.000700 |
As per my manual analysis, the total quantity matches the closing entry, and the cost comparison has a negligible difference (0.000699999975040555), which is acceptable.
Attached Data:
I have attached an Excel file with two sheets:
Alteryx Work that I've built:
I've built a workflow, but I'm not sure I've built it in a nice way presentable way.
Request:
Could someone guide me on how to set up this workflow in Alteryx? Any suggestions on tools or configurations needed to automate this FIFO inventory costing method would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your help!
