Understanding SAP Valuation Types

There are different types of valuations that can be used for inventory, including procurement type, origin, and quality. Valuation types further define characteristics within each valuation category. System administrators can define multiple valuation types which must be assigned to a valuation category. Examples include valuing inventory from in-house vs external sources separately using procurement type, valuing inventory from different countries separately using origin, and valuing inventory of different grades separately using quality.

VALUATION TYPE
1.1. USE
There are valuation types for each valuation category, which specify which individual characteristics
exist for that valuation category. If you give the valuation types meaningful keys, each valuation type in
some way represents the name of a sub-stock.

Fixed valuation types are defined in the system for each valuation category except valuation category X.

1.2. PREREQUISITES
In Customizing, the system administrator can define as many valuation types as required. Each valuation
type must be assigned to a valuation category.

1.3. FEATURES
The following graphic shows three examples of split valuation.
