Valuation: Automatic Revaluation for Promotions
Use
In this case, stock has to be revaluated because a new retail price has been calculated for an article as part of a promotion. The promotion price was entered in the conditions in the central SAP system.
Features
The revaluation is carried out in the same was as for a new sales price calculation resulting from a change in purchase price conditions.
You can count the stock and then carry out a revaluation in the same way as for a new price calculation.
However, as a count takes time and resources, and promotions are held frequently, particularly in the food sector, you can use a method which does not require a count:
During the promotion period, the goods issue is valuated at the promotion price at POS, even though the article is valuated at standard price in stock. The resulting difference is cleared by a revaluation which is triggered by the store.
The store sends the revaluation data (revaluation date, quantity sold, promotion price, standard price, storage location and reason for price change) to the central SAP system. An automatic revaluation is carried out if revaluation for local markdowns is defined in the revaluation profile.
For promotion analyses, it is important to give "Promotion" as the reason for the price change, so that the revaluations are assigned to the promotion.
