FIFO Resolver with cost basis?

@arbe thank you so much for posting the Continental Extension with new FIFO LIFO utility node back in December 2024. The node is elegantly simple and works great! One follow-up question for you, in order for FIFO inventory valuation to work for accounting purposes (aka FIFO layers), we need the output table to pull in the cost basis and fair market value fields from the CSV node that is feeding into the LIFO Resolver node. I could perhaps do a lookup by RowIN back to the source file, unless you can help explain how I might add additional output columns to the FIFO Resolver node? Thank you!

Hi @gburleigh ,

great to see that the node is fit for your use case!

Your idea is exactly right. We wanted to keep the node simple and fit for purpose. If you want to bring in additional information like cost basis, you could use the Joiner node based on RowID of the source table and RowId_IN column of the FIFO Resolver node.

Best regards

Arne
