Split Valuation
Today’s topic is Split Valuation. Split valuation is one of the core of Material Management in
SAP. This topic is considered relatively challenging than others. So I’ll show for now only one
type of configuration of Split Valuation. Firstly, let’s explain what is the Split Valuation and
When do we use it ?
Actually, we know that procurement process starts with purchase something. If we talk about
purchasing something , so this thing-material must have value. That’s why valuation is so
essential part in SAP MM . We can’t imagine procurment process without valuation. Valuation
also define the price of material and which general ledger it needs to be posted. Material
valuation can determine at company code level and plant level. If we activate split valuation for
material it means that we can manage values of the same material separately.
Split valuation can be assign for material in following cases
-Procurement type -it means that the company both buy from vendor and produce itself the
same material.
-Automatic Batch- it means that the same material having different batch may have different
valuation prices.
What I want to show firstly is Automatic Batch Valuation Category . Now let’s look to following
Automatic Batch Valuation Category.
As we know, if we talk about batch so we should do some batch management configuration
for each material. (I mentioned this topic on previous blog, please check it out ) . So let’s think
that batch management is active for material. In the below it is shown configuration path in
SPRO
SPRO>>Materials Management>> Valuation and Account Assignment >> Split Valuation >>
Activate Split Valuation
Here you always can see first radio button is selected. If it is not please select .
SPRO>>Materials Management>> Valuation and Account Assignment >> Split Valuation >>
Configure Split Valuation
Here firstly go to Global Types
Global types can be specified each valuation category. So we can create whatever you want
valuation type
As you know there are 3 columns for assignment
External Pos- This is external Purchase order – Material is procured from vendor.
Internal Pos- This is internal Purchase order – Material is produced by company.
Account Reference – This determine valuation class.
So I created D valuation type for Automatic Batch valuation with help of Create Button . Now
save it and go to back and select Global Categories
Pay attention that Global categories is assigned only one type of for each plant for each
material.
As above screen show us how we should move forward . Time is to assign valuation type to
valuation category.
Now we can activate D valuation type for X – Batch Automatic Category. Select appropriate
raw (D-is in sample) and press Activate button at the end of page.
The further step is allocating valuation category to plant
After configuration we can create new material in MM01.
At Accounting 1 tab we select X-Batch automatic for valuation category
In here Price control should manage price control with moving average price . When It is so ,
the price determine automatic from purchase order.
After it can be create 2 different or 1 purchase order as we know rules and then during MIGO
we select different batch number for same material and post.
Go to the any stock report may be MB52
We can also check out at MM03 organization level according to valuation type
