Use

Each settlement document from a revaluation is posted as a subsequent debit/credit. During revaluation, the value for a settled quantity is increased or reduced by the difference value determined.

Features

The system posts the difference values determined during revaluation to the G/L accounts for expenses or revenue from revaluation. You use the posting date to specify the period to which this expense or revenue is allocated.

The system does not allocate the difference values determined during revaluation to the stock accounts. Posting the revaluation does not change either the material stock value or the material valuation price (moving average price).

In the standard system, these postings are differentiated according to the valuation grouping code and according to whether they are debits or credits.

PO History

Postings from revaluation are represented in the purchase order history by the purchase order history category NeuB. The debit/credit sign tells you whether the item is an invoice (positive) or a credit memo (negative).

Revaluations are considered in the line Invoice Total in the purchase order history.

Note

If you want to perform a revaluation, the PO history must not be aggregated using report RM06EKBE. The invoice documents that result from the revaluation cannot be written to an aggregated PO history.

Determining the Tax Code

For each goods receipt for which the system determined a difference value, the system creates an item in the settlement document for the revaluation. The system determines the tax code used to post this item from the underlying purchase order item for the period stated.

If a goods receipt was settled using several partial settlements that contain different tax codes, the system determines the tax code for revaluation from the respective underlying purchase order item.

A subsequent change to the tax code in the purchase order, after an increase in the rate of sales tax (VAT) for example, changes the tax code used in revaluation. The system posts using the tax rate in the current underlying purchase order item.

Posting a revaluation creates an open item on the vendor account that Financial Accounting clears during one of the next payment runs.

If you do not change the baseline date for payment online, the system sets it to the current date. This sends the document to the work queue for the payment run immediately.

The terms of payment entered for credit memos and invoices are processed in the settlement document. If necessary, the system also processes the cash discounts.
