Ending inventory and consumption revaluations with AVR

[Former Member]

Hi all,

our customer requirement is to post ending inventory and single-level consumptions revaluation based on actual costs calculated by means of alternative valuation run over the last 12 periods.

According to SAP Note 633010 the settlement in the AVR can be alternatively carried out as a total posting, which no longer presupposes periodic settlements.

We would like to know if in ECC 6.00 environment it will be possible to revaluate the original accounts for stock (BSX) and consumptions (GBB-xxx) without any technical intervantion on the system.

Thanks in advance, PierGiorgio

Hi  PierGiorgio,

A revaluation of the ending inventory is not possible from the AVR. Price differences that are assigned to the ending inventory are posted to the accruals and deferrals account with key LKW.

The AVR delta is always calculated with reference to BSX account. Therefore, if you revaluate the stock with CKMLCP, the BSX account is revaluated with calculated periodic actual price. The AVR delta calculates the difference between the cumulated actual price and the periodic actual price and posts the difference to a delta BSD account in Financial Accounting.

Hi Gordon, first of all thanks for your helpful answer. What is still not clear is how AVR will manage the ravaluation of single-level consumptions (e.g. sales, scrap, cost center consumption). I read on SAP Actual Costing/Material Ledger presentation that posting will be made in same way as posting in periodic valuation: posting made to original consumption account (and CO object). Could you confirm us?

Thanks for your help, PierGiorgio
