Correction, the default method for new clients is not "average invoice" as it was discussed here.
The default method actually is Standard Costing - which is convenient as it's the easiest to setup, average PO is a method that requires more definition about the order how documents are entered into the system.
So, defaulting to Std sounds fine in principle. However, this must be a first-task on any implementation to analyze and define per client.

@Heng Sin Low definitely agreed with the ideas we discussed at castle
That have been my standing from many years back - Average Invoice Costing is a mistake and should be drop.
In SAP there is no "Average Invoice" and "Average PO", just one "Average Costing" - I'm aware of that and have mention that several time.
So, restoring our main conclusion at the castle:
1 - define Average PO method as the default method for new clients (at this moment is Average Invoice)
2 - if possible drop "Average Invoice" from the list (and deprecate it in code) - and rename "Average PO" to "Average Costing"
We must add a migration note to people already using Average Invoice (any?) to encourage them to make a transition to "Average Costing" (formerly Average PO), but in the meantime the code must be kept there marked as deprecated.
BTW, yesterday @Orlando Curieles was doing extensive tests to Average PO and found that everything was working pretty good.
