Valuation: Valuation at Retail and Goods Movements
Use
In the Inventory Management component of the SAP system, the system determines the value at cost of each goods movement and updates it if required on the stock accounts in Financial Accounting.
When you manage inventory on a quantity and value basis, the system takes the cost value from purchase price conditions, for example, or the moving average price of the article. If revaluation at retail is active, the system also determines the retail value of each goods movement and updates this, for example in the article master data and in the RIS.
If you manage inventory on a value-only basis, the system first determines the value at retail of each goods movement. The cost value is always calculated on the basis of the cost multiplier, the ratio between the cost and retail value of the value-only article. The
cost value of the value-only article is only updated if the retail value of the goods movement is greater than zero.Features
Goods Receipt for Purchase Order Issued to an External Vendor
The cost value is determined from the purchase price in the purchase order.
Goods Receipt Without Reference, Central Goods Issue
A goods receipt without reference is a goods receipt for which no reference document (such as a purchase order or a delivery) exists in the central SAP system. A central goods issue is a goods issue that is posted directly in the SAP system (that is, not via POS inbound processing).
If you have made the required settings in Customizing and if you have the required authorization, you can enter the cost value manually online. This is only necessary in exceptional circumstances.
With a goods receipt without reference, you can configure the system in such a way that a purchase order is automatically created in the background. This does not affect valuation.
Goods Issue at the Point of Sale
A goods issue at the point of sale (POS) is a goods issue that is transferred as an intermediate document (IDoc) to the central SAP system from the POS. POS inbound processes the intermediate document and converts it to a goods issue posting in the central system.

Splitting of Structured Articles
You can split a structured article (for example, prepack or display) into its components by making a transfer posting. The header article is then deducted from stock, and the various components are added to stock.
You must differentiate between valuation at cost and retail. You can use a user exit to include your own procedures for valuation at cost. SAP provides the following procedures:
The cost value of the header article is proportionally distributed over the individual components based on their valuation prices in the article master. As the header article value is distributed in full, no difference in values results.
The header article which has been deducted from stock and the components which have been added to stock are valuated using their current sales conditions. If a difference in values results, this is displayed in a retail revaluation document.
