FIFO Item valuation and PM Work Ticket closing method of Standard variance suggestions?

SAGE 100c 2021.2 Advanced

Production Management Work Ticket Close

Does anyone use FIFO valuation on Items and close work tickets using standard close method? 

Our standard cost in Item Maintenance is slightly higher than Actual build cost and the register reports have Inventory Debit, WIP Debit (StdCost - Actual), and Variance Credited for the sum of the Debits which is ballooning the Variance Cost account rather quickly.  

If you process like this how do you handle the variance?  100% JE back to WIP weekly?

Looking for suggestions so we dont have to use STD Cost Item Valuation but book Standard cost layer during close instead of Actual/Planned/Budget.

    MFG efficiencies gained or additional material/rework would be reflected using Actual close method.  Products are quoted to customers and pricing set as Standard Cost so profit margin for sales is not impacted.  The plant is treated as a cost center where the gains and losses are kept at the plant and the product is transferred for sales at the standard cost.
