valuation classes are allowed for a material type.
If a user creates a material, he must enter the material's valuation class in the accounting data. The ERP system uses your default settings to check whether the valuation class is allowed for the material type.
The valuation class is a group of materials with the same account determination. If a transaction is to be posted to different accounts depending on the valuation class, create an account determination for each valuation class in the step Create automatic postings.
The valuation classes allowed depend on the material type. Several valuation classes are generally allowed for one material type. A valuation class can also be allowed for several material types.
The link between the valuation classes and the material types is set up via the account category reference.
The account category reference is a combination of valuation classes. Precisely one account category reference is assigned to a material type.
The following are the Requirements for Valuation class.
1) You must have defined your material types.
2) You must have defined the chart of accounts.
3) You must have agreed with Financial Accounting which materials are assigned to which accounts.
Default settings
In the standard SAP R/3 System, an account category reference is created for each material type. The account category reference is, in turn, assigned to precisely one valuation class. This means that each material type has its own valuation class.
Recommendation
We recommend that you create the account groups of your chart of accounts as an account category reference.
Example GKR:
Activities
MENU PATH spro ->materials management->valuation and account assignment->account determination->account determination without wizard->Define valuation class.

Hi Giridhar Reddy
The valuation class determines the G/L accounts that are updated as a result of a valuation-relevant transaction or event such as a goods movement.The valuation class makes it possible to:
Post the stock values of materials of the same material type to different G/L accounts and Post the stock values of materials of different material types to the same G/L account.
We use different valuation class for different types of materials. for ex.for Raw materials-3000, for Finished goods-7920 etc. Which identifies the respective GL Accounts in the FI-MM integration.
The link will be taken from the material master MM01. when coming to the configuration part of VC, FICO people need not bother as we have standard VCs available or if required MM people will configure our job is Identify the requirement and enter the relevant GL accounts.( it is difficult tio explain more than this here.)
Further if you want, give your mail id I will forward the relevant material.

Hi,
Valuation class is a group of raw materials with the same account determination.
In any concern there will be hundrends or thousands of raw materials.You might have known while integrating FI-MM you have to create a general ledger account for each raw material. It is a difficult task to create as many as g/l accounts to as many raw materials there exists. So the similar nature raw materials are grouped depending on some characteristics and valuation class is assigned to each such group of raw materials.We create g/l accounts for these valuation classes and assign them.
Valuation class Tcode is omsk.
