The system valuates material components in valuated stock according to the strategy below.

During the first goods receipt, the system saves a standard price in the individual stock segment for a material, plant and WBS element. Afterwards you can only change this price by using Transaction MR21. If the standard price was determined during the first goods receipt, for example by using User-Exit COPCP002, it is not determined during further goods receipts.

In the case of materials with moving average prices, the system also determines the moving average price for each goods movement.

For goods movements the system valuates material components in valuated stock according to the following strategy.

1. It uses the standard price from the individual stock segment for the combination of WBS element, plant and material. The system determines the standard price for the individual stock segment during the first goods receipt.
2. If applicable, it uses the valuation from User-Exit COPCP002.
3. If a sales order item is account assigned to the WBS element and there is a product costing for the sales order item, the system looks for the corresponding costing item and uses this for the valuation, if the costing allows this. Only those costs are copied that are relevant for stock valuation.
4. It uses the value from the unit costing for the material component in the network or from the Seiban product costing. You must have previously activated Seiban product costing with Transaction CKW4.
5. The system uses the production order costing for material, plant and WBS element. The production order must have been costed without any errors.
6. The system uses the price from the material master.

The strategy is determined in the above sequence in the following cases:

• For valuating the first goods receipt, whereby strategy 1 cannot be used.
• For valuating components for the preliminary costing of production orders or networks (only item category L)
• For valuating planned and actual credits to a production order
