Use

There are valuation types for each valuation category, which specify which individual characteristics exist for that valuation category. If you give the valuation types meaningful keys, each valuation type in some way represents the name of a sub-stock.

Fixed valuation types are defined in the system for each valuation category except valuation category X.

Prerequisites

In Customizing, the system administrator can define as many valuation types as required. Each valuation type must be assigned to a valuation category.
