Stock valuation S(tandard) Price without ML: month end?

[former_member654515]

Hello,

I am trying to get a conceptual overview.

In IAS2 (IFRS) it is said that stock is allowed to be valuated at standard price, if this comes close to actual price. I on the other hand have always thought and learned back in school in the '90's that standard price is not allowed, only actual historic cost.

QUESTION 1 Suppose we have a traditional R/3 or ECC system *without Material Ledger and it's actual costing*, but we *do have product planning and product costing*: what would we do at month end to revalue stock and COGS? Something in Product costing? Does that revalue stock AND COGS (or some other GL-account in FI?) Or isn't it done there but in MM? How? And does this also adjust the same COGS in the FI P&L and/or something in CO? (What?)

QUESTION 2 The same as in QUESTION 1, but now assuming we don't have product planning and -costing, only MM, SD, FICO (trading company).

Thank you in advance for answers!

Bye,

Hi, I'm pretty sure that without material ledger you won't be able to revaluate COGS at month end in SAP standard functionality. Why don't you want to use ML? It's obligatory in S/4HANA for valuated materials anyway.

What you can do in standard MM functionality is to have stock revaluation according to FIFO, LIFO or Lowest Value principles - refer to SAP Help: Balance Sheet Valuation (MM-IM-VP)
