Hi All ,

Can you please let me know if it is possible to have different valuation class for a particular material but plant specific. Can this type of process exist ??

For ex..Material A. Extended to two different plants P1 and P2.

Specific to P1 and P2 , Should there be different valuation classes for a material A... ??

If the valuation area is set for plant then by default you can maintain different accounting/valuation attributes like valuation class, pricing, socks at plant level, means material can have different accounting/valuation attributes for different plants. Hence you can maintain different valuation classes as well. Valuation classes have link to material type through account category reference, to charge respective g/l account for respective material type(s).

Hence for you maintain different VALUATION CLASSES and assign it to the material type(s) through account category reference and in MMR assign the respective valuation class in accounting view for respective plant.

However if u want to valuate a single material code with different valuation criteria’s within valuation area(plant) then you can use split valuation.

Hi,

Why you want plant specific valuation class for material. What is real requirement and what is end result needed!

If you want to post two different G/L accounts for same material with respect to plant, then use two valuation grouping codes. Examples:

Plant------- Valuation grouping code

P1-------------0001

P2-------------0002

And for further, you can assign different G/L account for each transaction key as needed by you by keeping same valuation class for a material A.

For example for PRD key

Valuation grouping code----Valuation class------Debit-----------------------Credit

0001-----------------------------3000------------------- G/L account for P1----- G/L account for P1

0002-----------------------------3000------------------- G/L account for P2----- G/L account for P2

Hello Manish,

by any chance, you are not woking on one of those rare implementations with Company Code Valuation? Check the OX14 (or SPRO -> Enterprise Structure -> Definition -> Logistics - General -> Define valuation level)... if it is Plant Level Valuation, just follow Zafar's reply.

@other contributors mentioning split valuation -- if you are talking about the case of Company Code Valuation without considering the fact that most of instalations are done with Plant Level Valuation, you are deeply confusing the OP and degrading quality of this forum (sorry for not nice words, but SAP can be already difficult even without misguiding suggestions).

Hi Manish,

To be precise, you can do so. But I would suggest you split valuate  the material and maintain the master.

Thanks and regards,

Hi Sunil,

I have to admit I am confused why so many contributors here suggest split valuation; and since you are the only one of them, who is also aware that you can simply assign valuation class to plant level master data, I would like to ask you:

  • why do you prefer split valuation over simple assignment of valuation class?

I fail to see benefits of such approach -- am I missing something obvious?

Kind Regards

Hi Tom,

Total misconception on my part and lack of concentration on to the question though it was a very straight and simple one.

You are so correct and yes, just a mere assignment of valuation class is enough if its a plant specific.

Thanks a lot for correcting me and I highly appreciate it.

Best regards,

Sunil. S.

Thanking you.

HI Manish

Yes you can do it by giving different valuation class while creating your material at plant level.

Hi,

  Valuation class are link with account category reference and the account category ref. is assign to the material type which is at client level.

  So first you need to assign to different valuation class to the account category ref. then while creating the material or extending the material from one plant to another use the specific valuation class which you want to use according to the plant code.

Hi,

When you try to extend any material to a different plant you can maintain valuaation class plant wise.

Ex:

Material A created in MM01 for plant 1 with val.class as 3000

Same material when you extend to plant 2 in mm01 select accounting view also and give a differnet valuation class as 6000
