Material 

Use

Inventory Accounting records work in process, warehouse inventories, and goods movements. Material inventories are valuated with the valuation unit of measure. This unit is independent of the base unit of measure.

Integration

Materials are procured using the classic SAP Accountingapplications. Only quantities and no values are updated in those applications, however.

The material master is still located in the Logistics part of SAP Accounting.

Materials are valuated at the inventory price when the goods receipt for the purchase order is posted. Inventory values are recorded for each individual material or batch, which is more detailed than the usual account-level value reporting in the general ledger.

The inventory price is also used with non-valuated materials to calculate procurement costs.

For more information, see Materials Management (MM).
