Valuation: Automatic Revaluation when Price Calculations Change 

Use

In this case, the stock has to be revaluated because the retail price of an article has to be re-calculated as a result in changes to the cost of the article. In the course of the sales price calculation, the new retail price is stored in the conditions for the article.

Features

In this case, you execute program RWVKU001 to have the system automatically revaluate online (transaction VKU7) or in the background.

If the revaluation profile specifies that the stock has to be counted before being revaluated, you have to perform a count. By displaying the list of retail price changes (transaction VKU6), you can generate and print a count list. No retail revaluation documents with the status A (to be counted) are generated before the count.

If in certain exceptional circumstances you want to revaluate before counting the stock even though a count is specified in the revaluation profile, you can select the All articles with inventory management on a quantity and value basis option.

For inventory managed on a value-only basis, you must always count the stock because you have to tell the system how many SKUs are to be revaluated (see Activities).

Activities

To perform a count for inventory managed on a value-only basis, the following activities are necessary:

  1. Generate retail revaluation documents and count lists

You generate retail revaluation documents with status A (to be counted) and count lists for the required key date on which the article retail price changes in the conditions. You have the following options:

  1. Count the articles in the store.
  1. Enter the results of the count in the central SAP system and trigger the revaluation.

You have the following options:

You can enter the results of the count in the store (at an SAP terminal) or in the central R/3 system using the partial revaluation at retail function (transaction VKU3). This transaction enables you to select the retail revaluation documents with status A and enter the quantities counted on a collective entry screen. When you save, the revaluation process is triggered.

The articles to be revaluated, the old and new retail price, the quantity counted and the reason for the price change can be transferred to the central SAP system in the store physical inventory / retail revaluation IDoc. When the IDoc is processed, the inventory is revaluated.

You can enter the results of the count in the store in SAP Retail Store. The method ChangeStatus of the business object Retail Revaluation (SAP40319) is defined for this. This triggers the revaluation process in the central SAP system.

If the value-only articles concerned are locked in the central SAP system at this point, the inventory cannot be revaluated immediately. In this case, the retail revaluation document items are changed from status A (to be counted) to B (counted, not yet revaluated). You then have to revaluate these items at a later point in time using the function for online automatic revaluation (transaction VKU7)
