Value Changes in Logistics Invoice Verification 

Use

When you post an invoice, the stock quantity of a material remains unchanged; thus, a change in stock value can only occur if the material price changes. If a material has a moving average price, this occurs if the purchase order price and the invoice price differ. When this is the case, the material received could not have been valuated at the actual delivered price when the goods receipt was posted. Valuation must therefore be adjusted to the actual delivered price of the material when the invoice is posted.

Invoices for Delivery costs cause a change in valuation if they are entered as unplanned delivery costs. Planned delivery costs cause a change only if they differ from the amount posted at goods receipt.

Cash discount granted in an invoice is taken into account in valuation only if an invoice is posted at net value. If a goods receipt is posted at net value, a change in value only occurs if the amount of cash discount granted in the invoice is different to that specified in the purchase order.
