It appears to be possible to use periodic evaluation for some product categories and perpetual evaluation for other product categories. When using periodic evaluation the accountant has to post a journal entry at the end of a period representing the value of the inventory, when using perpetual valuation this is done automatically.
So, how is the manual journal entry made by the accountant at the end of each period when there is a mix of methods?

You might read here:\Valuation methods V12

You configure costing method in the Product Categories.

For perpetual evaluation your stock valua is always up to date.  And I never worked with anything else in the businesses where I have been involved.  It is highly recommended, wether you work with standard cost, or FIFO costing. (Forget LIFO, it is very special cases.)

With periodic valuation: Count the products for which you have periodic valuation and make a posting in accounting with the calculated value.  Should not be to complicated to combine.
