Use

You use this function if you want to distribute the differences, calculated in the Structure linkcosting run, according to quantities to the goods delivered to the warehouse and to work in process (WIP). This means the differences that should be assigned to the WIP are not included in the determination of actual prices for their components or semi-finished and finished products. In contrast to the valuation of WIP in Cost Object Controlling, which takes place using standard prices, this function valuates WIP using actual prices.

Integration

Work in process is determined in Cost Object Controlling (CO-PCP-OBJ). For more information, see Structure linkWork in Process in Product Cost by Period or Work in Process in Product Cost Structure linkBy Order and WIP Quantity Documents.

Prerequisites

Features

Activating WIP revaluation has the following effects:

The revaluation process assigns these differences according to the periods concerned. The differences that occur in the closing period are assigned to the WIP that was newly created in this period. Differences from the closing period cannot be assigned to WIP that still exists from the previous periods.

Note

If you use WIP revaluation, the revaluation amounts from the closing entries will be posted in FI. You cannot stop these postings from being made. The WIP revaluation process is, therefore, unsuitable for use just a reporting tool.

You can archive WIP quantity documents, period information, and actual quantity structures for the WIP. For more information, see Archiving CO Material Ledger WIP Quantity Documents (CO-PC-ACT) and Archiving Material Ledger Period Data for WIP (CO-PC-ACT).
