New Features in Balance Sheet Valuation 

Use

In Balance Sheet Valuation, the following new functions are available in Release 4.6C:

• Average price from valuated receipts
  You can analyze the LIFO/FIFO receipt data using a new program. This enables you to analyze the records in such a way that the system calculates an average price for a predefined period of review (transaction MRY1).

• New table for physical inventory prices
  There is a new table in the Data Dictionary for saving the physical inventory prices. YOu can use a new a program to transfer the tax and commercial prices from the material master to the table (transaction MRY2). In this way, you can assign the results of balance sheet valuation to a named procedure ( valuation alternative ) and a posting period. For the time being, editing and analysis tools for this table are not contained in the standard SAP System.

• Automatic comparison of the material master and LIFO/FIFO index table
  You can determine whether the monthly receipt records for LIFO/FIFO valuation are to be updated online or not.
  You do this by maintaining the activity Exclude LIFO/FIFO from Online Update in the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Valuation and Account Assignment.
