In this section, you can define how the values from valuation-relevant transactions are collected in the material ledger in order to influence the closing entries of material price determination.
Standard Settings
In the standard system, the categories in the material update structure 0001 are so defined that the valuation price during material price determination corresponds to the weighted average price - the sum of the beginning inventory and the prices of all receipts of the period.
During the material ledger update, data is collected from valuation-relevant transactions (for example, goods receipts, invoice receipts, settlements of production orders) in different categories in the material ledger according to the material update structure.
The influence that these transactions have on the valuation price during material price determination depends on the category in which they are collected. The following categories exist:
A receipt always has an effect on the valuation price. With a consumption, you can specify whether the receipt has an effect on the valuation price of the material: with the category Other receipts/consumptions it has an effect, with the category Consumption it doesn't.
If you are working with the update logic in the standard system, the material stock in the closed posting period is valuated with the weighted average price- - the sum of the beginning inventory and prices of all receipts in the period.
If this logic meets your demands, you do not have to edit this section. The system automatically uses material update structure 0001. If these settings do not meet your demands, if, for example, certain consumptions should have an effect on the material price, read the following for more information:
