Valuation: Automatic Revaluation at Retail
Use
The automatic revaluation at retail functions enable you to ensure that your valuation data is up to date without any user intervention necessary. To react to condition changes, you can run the program that determines the relevant changes and makes the required revaluations.
In certain cases, too, such as with local markdowns reported via the POS inbound interface, revaluation is done automatically.
Features
Automatic revaluations at retail are made in the following instances:
When conditions are changed as a result of pricing or promotions, you revaluate using program RWVKU001. You can select all articles which have a relevant sales condition change by using criteria such as date and organizational level. You then carry out a revaluation of the book inventory balance for these articles. You cannot carry out an automatic revaluation for changes to conditions which are to take place in the future.
You can start the report for automatic revaluation on-line or schedule it for processing in the background. You are advised to schedule the program as a background job if you want to process a large amount of data. You can, for example, run the program overnight, so that it is finished before the start of the working day.
A revaluation at POS leads to the creation of an IDoc which contains the relevant information, such as the date of the price change, the new price, old price, quantity etc. This IDoc is transferred to the central SAP system during POS - inbound processing. Revaluation takes place automatically as part of POS - inbound processing.
Stores are informed via the assortment list about any price fixing arrangements. If a retail price is changed in a store even though the article is subject to price fixing, the system identifies this during POS inbound processing and triggers a workflow.
When stock is transferred, goods movements are posted with the posting date in the past and structured articles are broken down/aggregated, the system checks if there are any differences in retail value. If there are, the system creates a retail revaluation document for the difference.
The old and the new retail price are determined from the goods movement data, the retail price currency thus being identical to the local currency.
