Valuation Type in SAP

Valuation Type


The valuation type is an individual characteristic of a valuation category.

For example, within the valuation category "origin" the valuation types would be the different countries. You define valuation types in Customizing. You first determine all the valid valuation types for a valuation category. Then you enter the individual valuation types allowed for a material in the material master record.

For every material with split valuation, you must enter all the valuation types allowed in the material master record.

The following graphic shows three scenarios of Split Valuation:




Scenario 1:

You procure a material both from in-house production and from external vendors. You want to valuate the stocks from each source separately. In this case, you select procurement type as the valuation category (B) and Internal and External as valuation types.

Scenario 2:

You procure a material from several countries. You want to valuate the stocks from each country separately. In this case select origin as the valuation category (H). As valuation types, you define the relevant countries, for example Italy and France.

Scenario 3:

You procure a material in different grades. You want to valuate, the stocks of each class separately. In this case, you select Quality as the valuation category (Q). As valuation types, you could define A, B, C and D.
