Result

The system makes the following postings:

For materials whose price control indicator is set to S, the revaluation amount is posted to a price difference account.
For materials whose price control indicator is set to V, the revaluation amount is posted to a price difference account or a material stock account depending on the base quantity.

Example:

The base quantity of a material valuated at the moving price (V) is 100 units; the inventory quantity is 50 units with an inventory value of USD 500. With an adjustment of USD 100, USD 50 is posted to the material stock account and USD 50 is posted to the price difference account.
