RE: Fifo Costing

Knock on wood but we have been at FIFO costing for two years and don't have
any problems. We did have a few set problems at first and a learning curve
but the system actually works in FIFO. Not sure way Geac can't help you
(maybe the knowledge base walked out the door). But we do remember we had to
do most of the discovery leg work. Sorry it didn't work for you. If we can
be of help let us know.

Kathy,
we're going the other direction - standard to FIFO. It's not encouraging
that it
didn't work for you.  we don't have experience going from FIFO to standard,
so I
can't offer any help there. Sorry.
