Material Value Update

[#1]

Hi Experts,

I needed to know what drives table MBEW to be populated? Is it populated when material type is defined as Value Update?

I'm interested to know the conncection between the two.

Many thanks

Hi,

   MBEW table will be updated once you create / extend material master with accounting view. Means for material types with value update in a particular plant only will be available for creating accounting view and the same will be reflected in MBEW table.
 
   Also, every time there is a goods movement with value change, both quantity and value will be updated in MBEW.

HI,

For he material type and the Valuation area combination in Transaction OMS2, you can set the Value and Qty Update to active if you want to. This will initiate the update of the value and qty for this material type during the transactions.d

Hoi Govind,

Junt to be clear, by your explanation i understand that if i set in OMS2 the value update (i'm just interested in value uodate for now) for a certain material type, whenever i use a material from this material type (e.g, purchase), i will get valuation on MBEW table (and also on GL accounts associated with val. class defined for my material).

I'm just interested in knowing the impact of setting value update on OMS2 and if that is the driver for the "usage" o MBEW table.

Thanks and regards

this is not fully correct.

Whenever you purchase a material to stock then you can see an update in MBEW when you do a goods receipt

when you order the same material account assigned to a cost center, or project or sales order, you will not see any change in MBEW when you do a receipt

Hi,

As mentioned and suggested by Jurgen, I feel the question basically was to know the impact of the value only update in OMS2. Well this does bring in the entries into the table MBEW if activated for the respective valuation area. Well to receive it against a normal purchase order or cost center (account assignment) is a point to be considered while discussing the Standard Operating Procedures.

Hope I have made the point clear.

Hi,

We define the plant as valuavation area,

and in OMWD -Group Together Valuation Areas this key (within the company code diffrentiate the GL acconts based on the valuation area )

Whenever you do business transaction  using the movement type, system will determine the OMWN setting which is standered setting and  OMS2 setting for the materials

based on these value string will detrmine the transaction event key,  for the transaction event keys GL account are assigned

based on the above setting system update values to valuation area that values updates MBEW table
