Revaluation of Batches 

Use

Up until now, you could not (or only with great difficulty) revaluate a batch; that is, assign a batch of a split-value material to a different valuation type.

As of Release 4.6C, you can revaluate individual batches using the Change batch function (Logistics->Central Functions ->Batch Management->Batch->Change). The revaluation is the equivalent of a transfer posting and is posted using a separate movement type (340 ). The system creates a material document and an accounting document for this transaction.

Effects on System Administration

There is a separate authorization for the revaluation of batches. The authorization object is assigned to the object class Materials Management - Master data. It is called: Material master: Change valuation type for batch (technical name: M_MATE_BWT).

There is also a corresponding full authorization for this object (M_MATE_BWTAR), which is assigned to the profile M_MATE_ALL. The full authorization contains all the material master and batch master authorizations.

The only authorization field in the authorization object is the field Dummy . You should assign the value * to this field if you want to create an authorization for batch revaluation.

Make sure that the users who are to revaluate batches are assigned the relevant authorization (see above).
