Valuation: Example of Valuation at Retail with Different Sales Units
The article "quality wine" is managed in two units of measure that have different retail prices:
Inventory is managed at retail for the unit bottle. Revaluation in the case of local markdowns is allowed in the revaluation profile. For POS inbound processing, this means that a sale is always valuated at the price registered at the cash point.
If this were the case, the retail value of the boxes would cause the total stock value retail to be inaccurate, as illustrated by the following table:
Situation |
Price |
Total |
Stock value |
Starting point |
10 |
50 |
500 |
Sale of 40 bottles at |
10 |
10 |
100 |
Sale of 1 box at |
9 |
0 |
10 |
You can solve this problem in one of two ways:
You carry out a revaluation to correct the value of the stock at retail.
You can create different article master records for the different sales units. The stocks are managed completely separately at retail.
