Split Valuation Notes
Split Valuation Notes
Split valuation refers to the valuation type on a material master. Typically, organizations will want to track the
material costs, for example, for new, used or repaired stock. The valuation type field on the material master allows
you to track this stock separately, and specify what type of stock is being moved or purchased, and charge
appropriately. There are follow-on effects, of course, in finance account assignments etc.
SAP Split Valuation for Materials
The SAP R/3 System allows you to valuate stocks of a material either together or separately, that is, according to
different valuation criteria. Split valuation is necessary if, for example:
1. Stock from in-house production has a different valuation price than externally procured stock.
2. Stock obtained from one manufacturer is valuated at a different price than stock obtained from another
manufacturer.
3. Different batch stocks of a material have different valuation prices.
4. Value damaged and repair part differently from a new part.
To use split valuation, you have to activate it using 'OMW0'.
To change split material valuation once it has been set, you must
1. First post out all stocks (for example, to a cost center or with movement type 562)
2. Then change the control parameters
3. If necessary, change the automatic account determination
4. Finally post the stocks back in again
In split valuation, you can distinguish between partial stocks of a material according to certain criteria and valuate
them separately.
The material stock is divided according to valuation category and valuation type.
The valuation category determines how the partial stocks are divided, that is, according to which criteria.
The valuation type describes the characteristics of the individual stocks.
With the function "Setting" you can determine:
which valuation categories exist in your company (global categories)
which valuation types exist in your company (global types)
which valuation types belong to which valuation category
which valuation categories exist in a valuation area (local categories)
Your entries are only relevant if you set split valuation as active in the function "Global settings".
In the standard SAP R/3 System, the following valuation categories are default settings:
B procurement type
with the valuation types:
"EIGEN" for in-house production
"FREMD" for external procurement
H Origin
Stock data, which, like batch data, is managed separately for each storage location. If a material that is subject to
split valuation is also subject to management in batches, its stock data is not managed by valuation type, but rather
by batch. Every batch is assigned to a valuation type.
The stock quantity, stock value, and valuation price for all valuation types are managed cumulatively at valuationarea level.
Must the Valuation Type Exist Before the First Goods Receipt?
You can post the goods receipt of material of a certain valuation type only if the valuation data for this valuation
type already exists, because the system valuates the goods receipt at the price defined in the valuation data. On the
other hand, the stock data for the valuation type is created automatically during the first goods receipt into the
storage location, if this is defined in Customizing for Inventory Management.
Goods Movements with Materials Subject to Split Valuation
If you want to enter goods movements for materials subject to split valuation, you must enter the valuation type in
addition to the material number.
Enter the valuation type in the Batch field for MB01.
In MIGO, there is a valuation type field in Detail data -> Material.
