Influence of Company Code &

Valuation Area
The chart of accounts is a list of all G/L accounts that are jointly used by
one or more company codes. It specifies the number and name of each
G/L
account, as well as information controlling the function of the account and
its creation within the company code.

Valuation Area
Valuation Area (Plant /Company Code)
If you have selected the plant as the valuation level,
Each plant then represents a valuation area. In this
case, the key for the valuation area is identical to the
key for the plant.
Valuation Grouping Code : Within a chart of accounts, valuation areas that are
to be
treated equally in terms of account assignment are assigned to the same
valuation grouping code.
Case 1: Valuation Area =
Company Code

Material Type and Account

Determination
The account category reference is a grouping of valuation classes used by the
system to
check whether the valuation class entered is allowed when you maintain
accounting data in the material master record. This account category
reference is assigned to the material types. Only one account category
reference can be assigned to a material type.

Influencing Factor Material/Material

Type
Valuation Class
In SAP R/3, the valuation class is used to achieve automatic account determination
that varies depending on the material. The valuation class is a key used to group
togethermaterials with the same account Determination.

Account Determination Process in MM

The assignments of the value strings to the goods

movements and the breakdowns of the value strings
into transaction/event keys can be found in
Customizing for inventory management and physical
inventory.
However, you can change neither the value strings
nor their assignments in Customizing.
Example of Value Strings (1): WE01

Summary of Influencing Factors

Consignment Process
Consignment means that material made available to you by a
vendor is stored in the company but actually belongs to the
vendor. A liability towards the vendor only arises when you
withdraw material from the consignment stores.

Consignment Order
Item category K (Consignment) in a purchase order
. You must enter a material number.
. You cannot enter a purchase order price or conditions for the item.
. You require a goods receipt for the item. The goods receipt is posted
in the vendor consignment stock, and is non-valuated.
. You cannot enter an invoice for the consignment item.
Item category K can also be used in outline agreements and purchase
Requisitions.
Consignment Info Record (Infotype - Consignment)
Before you can order consignment material at a vendor or post a goods
receipt into consignment stock, you have to maintain the price of the
material for the particular vendor in a purchasing info record. The price is
necessary for the valuation and settlement of material withdrawals.
Goods Receipt without PO and transfer posting , scraping , sampling of
Consignment stock is possible. IT has to use Stock category K in that case

Goods Issue for Consignment Stock

Movement type 411
For both goods issues from consignment stock and transfer postings
to own stock, there is a liability towards the consignment vendor. The
withdrawal is valuated with the price from the consignment info record.

Vendor Consignment in Invoice

Verification
The system creates a message with message type KONS in addition to the
settlement document. The consignment goods are settled without invoice receipt, as
the vendor cannot trace the goods withdrawal directly. The vendor can only manage
the consignment stock
with his deliveries and your payments.

Vendor Consignment: Settlement

Subcontracting
The processing has the following characteristics:
. You order the finished product with a subcontract order that also contains entries
about the components to be provided for the subcontractor.
. In Inventory Management, the components are posted/provided in the stock of
material provided to vendor.
. The subcontractor supplies his
service and delivers the manufactured
or processed material. The GR for the
finished product is entered in IM. The
consumed components are therefore
cleared from the stock of material
provided to vendor.
. If the subcontractor reports an excess
or under consumption of components
after the GR, this can be corrected with a
subsequent adjustment.
. The subcontractor shows the service
actually planned in the invoice.
The invoice is entered in LIV.

Subcontracting Stock
The components that you provide for a vendor are managed in a
vendor-related special stock O (= stock of material provided to vendor).
The subcontracting items (SC items) in purchasing documents are
represented with a special item category-L.

Goods Receipt for Finished Product

The material document consists of the following items:
. Goods receipt items for the material delivered by the vendor
. Goods issue items for the components

Message determination in MM

Material Types
The material type is a means of grouping materials that
have the same basic Properties
Number assignement of material master
Define Material Status

Material Master Record Field Selection

Influencing Factor
The field references of the SAP delivery, which are always applied, take into
account the SAP solution (industry, retail, business solution) and the release level.
A different field selection applies when a material master record is created than
when one is merely displayed.
Example Field reference
. ROH for material type ROH
(raw material)
. Plant: Field reference 0001 for
plant 0001
. Industry sector: Field reference M
for industry M (mechanical engg)
. Transaction: Field reference MM01
for the transaction Create Material
