Check Valuation
Variants for Cost Object ID
Here you create a
valuation variant , which contains the parameters for the
valuation of the costing items for the
cost object ID.
You create valuation strategies for the
following objects:
Here you define the
sequence in which the system searches for prices in the accounting view and
the costing details screen of the material master record to valuate the
materials.
Here you define the
sequence in which the system searches for prices in activity type planning in
cost center accounting to valuate the internal activities.
You also specify
what plan version in cost center accounting is used.
In Release 3.0 you
can also valuate the internal activities with the actual activity prices in
cost center accounting.
Strategy sequences
You define the individual valuation bases of
the valuation variant as strategy sequences. For the valuation of the material
components, for example, you define a strategy sequence that reads the fields
in the material master record in the following sequence:
1. Planned
price 1
2. Standard
price
3. Moving
average price
The first price that is not zero is used to
valuate the material component. To be able to use the valuation variant in
costing, you must assign the valuation variant to a costing
variant.
Standard
settings
- The standard system contains a number of
predefined price strategies.
- Seventeen (17) price strategies are currently
available for material valuation. You can select up to five strategies per
valuation variant.
- Five price strategies are available for
internal activities. You can select up up three activity prices per valuation
variant.
- The standard system contains predefined
valuation variants. You can modify these valuation variants to suit your
requirements by changing the standard strategy sequences.
Actions
1. Enter an
alphanumeric key and a text for the new valuation variant.
2. Define a
valuation strategy for material components by entering up to five values as
the search sequence.
3. Define a
valuation strategy for internal activities by entering up to three values as
the search sequence and assigning an appropriate plan version in cost center
accounting to this valuation variant.
4. Assign the
valuation variant to a costing variant.
Note
If you want to use different valuation
strategies or different overhead rates in plants that belong to the same
company code, you can define plant-specific valuation variants by assigning a
valuation variant to a plant. Choose the push button Valuation
variant/plant. If you don't do this, the valuation variants
apply to all your plants.
