Costing

Run FIFO, LIFO, average, and standard cost at the same time

Legacy systems lock an item into one costing method the day it's created. Cairn keeps all four live at once, at the item and lot level, so you can see margin under any lens without re-keying a thing.

The legacy gap

NetSuite permanently binds an item to a single costing method. Moving from average to standard means zeroing inventory, deactivating history, and recreating the item, which severs your historical reporting continuity.

What Cairn does

Cairn maintains FIFO, LIFO, weighted-average, and standard cost simultaneously for every item and lot, and costs by transaction date so backdated entries re-cost correctly across the period.

The payoff

Generate a real-time income statement under any costing method on demand, with no migration. Use LIFO for tax minimization in inflationary cycles while running standard-cost variance reports for the board.

Four methods, in parallel

FIFO, LIFO, weighted-average, and standard cost maintained simultaneously, never a one-way migration.

Lot-level cost layers

Every receipt becomes a cost layer with its own landed cost, so consumption is valued exactly.

Transaction-date accurate

Costing follows the business date, so backdated receipts and invoices re-cost in the right order.

Standard cost with variance

Standard-cost items post at standard with an automatic purchase-price-variance plug for clean analysis.
