FIFO Cost method in E10

There is a weighted FIFO average, I believe it uses this.

We're currently on V8, and and will be changing to E10 in a few months (not a migration, but rather a fresh install).


Someone asked if E10 has the ability to use a FIFO cost method.  I'm guessing that this method would track quantities for specific costs.  Kind of like how Lot serializing does.


I ran a quick Excel simulation to see if there's much of a difference between FIFO and AVG, And there is.

I see that FIFO was introduce in E9.  

So what cost is used when estimating a job?

For example, I received 100 pc's at $1.00 each (call this lot 1), and then another 100 pc's at $1.50 each (lot 2).

Would the cost used be $1.00 or $1.50? Or even $1.25?  

Does it matter on how many I need for a job?  

If the estimate required 50, it would use 50 from lot 1, at $1.00 each?

If the estimate required 150, would it use 100 from lot 1 at $1.00,  and 50 from lot 2 at $1.50?
 
We're still on V8, so I can't even look in the help.
