Study Notes
Stock Valuation in SAP
- Valuation class and price control indicator are key fields in the material master record that govern stock valuation.
- Price control determines if valuation is based on standard price or moving average price.
- Material Price Group is relevant for sales only; purchasing value key provides defaults for purchase orders.
Organizational Structure Configuration
- Valuation areas do not require the creation of additional units; the level is defined as either company code or plant.
- The company code is critical for account determination as it contains the chart of accounts.
Account Determination and Valuation Levels
- Common account determination across multiple plants can be achieved by either deactivating the valuation grouping code or assigning the same code to all plants.
- The account grouping code restricts possible valuation classes; it is not related to the valuation area.
Influencing Factors on Automatic Account Determination
- Automatic account determination is influenced by factors such as transaction via transaction key, material via valuation class, and valuation area via grouping code.
- The value string, which contains transaction keys, is automatically determined by the system based on supplied and system-derived parameters.
Postings Relevant for Automatic Account Determination
- Transfer postings between plants and from consignment stock to own stock generate accounting documents, triggering automatic account determination.
- Postings within a plant that do not create accounting documents are not relevant for automatic determination.
Valuation Class and Assignment
- Valuation classes for materials can be maintained at the valuation area level and for materials with split valuation at the valuation type level.
- The account category reference restricts valuation classes for material and valuation types.
Valuation Category and Split Valuation
- Valuation category determines the criteria for dividing material stocks by value in a valuation area.
- Split valuation allows individual criteria assignment to split-valuated materials, which can vary by valuation area.
Transaction Key and Account Assignment
- The transaction key GBB is employed to determine default accounts for purchase order items with account assignment.
- The general modification option for account determination procedures differs among transaction keys; it isn't universally applicable.
Key Facts about Split Valuation
- Split valuation allows for separate stock valuations according to defined valuation categories, applicable to both batch-managed and ordinary materials.
- Scope for using both standard and moving average prices exists, although moving average is mandatory at the valuation area level.
