Changing the Pool Structure
Use
If you have run LIFO valuation and then discover that the pool allocation could be improved, you can change the allocation (and thus the value of individual pools).
Features
You have the following options:
With this option, you remove a material from one pool and allocate it to another pool (or valuate it at individual level). You can choose from various procedures to determine the value:
In this case, the current stock quantity of the material removed is allocated proportionally among the layer of the old pool. The layer of the existing pool is reduced by the partial quantities determined (and their values). The layer of the new pool is increased by the same quantity and value.
In this case, the layers of the old pool are reduced, beginning with the most recent, until the stock quantity of the material removed is reached. The layers of the new pool are increased by the quantities and values removed.

With this option, you group together several pools in a new pool. The quantities and values of the individual layers in the pools are added together.

When you split and merge pools, all existing layer versions are processed in the same way. You can use the appropriate window to link certain layer versions. This allows you to dissolve an individual material from its pool and handle it without specifying a new pool. In this case, the system would create individual material layers with the assigned layer version.
