Split Valuation

Business Scenario
Raw material that is available as a domestic product and an imported product. The imported product costs more than the domestic product. You have established two different valuation types with a different price for each type. Analyze the impact of purchasing each type by looking at the material master and the stock overview.

The valuation category indicates whether the material‘s stock is to be valuated as one unit or in parts.
The valuation category is also a key that indicates the criteria for defining partial stock, and it
determines which valuation types are allowed.
The valuation type is a key that identifies split-valuated stocks of material and indicates the
characteristics of a partial stock.
Enter the valuation category in the material master.
Enter the valuation type in the Batch field for goods movements.

The stocks and stock values of split-value materials are cumulated at valuation area level. Moving average price control is required for material at valuation area level, because the moving average price is used for the entire valuation area.

Define an account category reference for a valuation type. When a master record is created for this valuation type, you can choose one of the valuation classes that are allowed for this account category reference.

The R/3 System carries out account determination for movement type transactions relevant for financial Accounting using the valuation class in this valuation type record and not using that of the material.

If a valuation type specifies that the R/3 System creates valuation types (records), the system automatically creates a valuation record for each batch. A valuation category of this type only makes sense for materials subject to batch management.

When you assign a valuation category to an organizational unit, the R/3 System automatically assigns all valuation types that are globally active for the valuation category to this organizational unit.
