## Overview

This section covers two setup tasks for the Italian version of Business Central that support fiscal inventory valuation. One page explains how to configure the valuation methods. The other explains how to enter starting item costs so average year costs can be calculated.

## Key points

- Fiscal inventory valuation setup includes components valuation and estimated WIP consumption settings.
- Inventory valuation types are assigned to individual items after the general settings are configured.
- Initial item costs are entered in the Before Start Item Cost page.
- Entries include a starting date, purchase quantities and amounts, and production quantities and amounts.
- These entries are used to calculate average year costs.
- Both pages are marked [IT] and apply to the Italian local functionality.
