Use

Usually the receipt data relevant for LIFO valuation, that is, the quantities and values from goods receipts and value differences from invoices, is updated by the applications. The system creates a data record for each valuation level, material and posting period. This process allows you to subsequently include documents posted in the R/3 System in the receipt data relevant for LIFO valuation. You can create single receipts or receipts in aggregated form for each posting period.

Note

You do not have to create LIFO relevant receipt data if new layers are always valuated at the price in the material master.

You need to transfer data that has already been posted in the following circumstances:

In this case, no LIFO receipt data exists yet.

LIFO data records that are automatically created when LIFO valuation is active are aggregated on a posting period basis. If you run valuation based on single receipts, you must create new LIFO data records. The differences between receipts on a posting period basis and single receipts are illustrated in an example.

Procedure

After you have created a base layer or imported old layers into the system, you must then copy over the receipts relevant for LIFO valuation that have been posted since the start of the current settlement period. This is the only way that you can ensure that all relevant receipts are included in the next valuation run.

Note

When large volumes of data are involved, you should only update LIFO data using background processing.

To transfer posted data, proceed as follows:

  1. Choose Valuation ® Balance Sheet Valuation ® LIFO Valuation ® Prepare ® Create Document Extract.

    2. The system displays the selection screen.

  2. Specify for which materials the LIFO-relevant goods movement should be transferred.
  3. In the screen box Update, select Receipt Data if you want the data to be updated.
  4. Choose This graphic is explained in the accompanying text Execute.

Result

The system displays a list of the documents.
