Material Ledger in IS-Retail
Material ledger data is valuation and control data for an article in a plant for a particular posting period. Material ledger data also contains data for movements that are relevant to the valuation of the article. This data is collected in the material ledger as it is entered in the system.
Material ledger data forms the basis of actual costing and is used to manage valuation prices in multiple currencies and valuations. Using material ledger data, the system collects information on material movements (such as goods receipts and invoice receipts) in each period at historical exchange rates. This data is used during material price determination to calculate new valuation prices for the article. Then, the material stock account is reconciled in multiple currencies with the accounts in Financial Accounting.
