This notes relates to SAP ECC (ERP Central Component) 5.0

Without split valuation, materials are valued at plant level.

With split valuation, the same material number at a plant can have different stock quantity and value for
different groupings (called valuation types).

The valuation types are set up in configuration could be for example:

 newd, old or

 GB, US, AU, ... (indicating countries for example)

 red, blue, black, etc.... (indicating colors for example)

The valuation typs are grouped together in a valuation category

So for example, the above valuation types could be grouped by age, country, color.

A material is activated by entering the valuation type in the accounting view of the material master.

IMPORTANT: It is possible to change a valuation category if no stock and PO were created. However,
once a Valuation category is assigned -- it can not be un-assigned (make blank again). So it is not
something that get changed at will. It needs to be decided on creation of material.
