Changes in Material Valuation 

Use

There are two types of changes in Material Valuation:

Features

Automatic Changes

Changes in Material Valuation due to goods receipts and invoice receipts are carried out automatically when the relevant transaction is posted.

The extent to which the stock value changes depends on the sequence in which the goods receipts and invoice receipts are posted. The SAP System allows for both possibilities:

Manual Changes

You can change the valuation manually. The following changes are possible:

If the material price no longer corresponds to the current market price, you can adjust it by making a price change.

If the stock value of a material is to be increased or decreased, you can make a direct credit or debit posting for this material.

If a physical inventory reveals differences in quantity between the physical stocks and the book inventory, you must correct the book inventory balance manually, that is, the physical inventory differences must be posted. Adjusting the stock quantity leads to a change in the value of the stock.
