Non valuated material

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

I want to create a non valuated material which should have the stock updated and should not update the value.

dummy material

My scenario is like I have a material (soft copy) which i will give it to vendor to print the books.In this case the Soft copy will become a sub contracting material and same material will be taken back insted of components.

In this case the soft copy should serve as information purpose and should not affect any FI accounts.the purpose of this is to track the soft copy whether the vendor has return or not.

I created the soft copy as Non valuated material and books as a trading material.

I raised a PO with this two material,one as sub contracting and another as standard material, but in the system is asking to enter the cost center and GL account for soft copy.

So here how to avoid this financial interaction, since this material is only for information purpose.

Kindly guide me

Regards,

Sri......

HI,

Regarding Change of Non valuated ,whether you are doing at Material Type (OMs2)

here again plant is the level at which the control exits.

if you are doing at the above level,it is not all advised to do.because it has many impacts and the material that are present in this plants or all plants will have the impact.

Konw the second case is that ,you have created a material with Zero Valution means you Price in Material Master level is Zero

Know you have done some movements ,so definity the postings will be non valuated

but know you want to update the valuation

this can be done by MR21.So by doing this the Stock account will have updated and at the same time you revalution account will aslo have an entry and this will the value (change of prev and present,here in this cases it is the 100 % value)

so from there on wards the issues happens with the new Price.and even the receipts also.

so it the revalution account will have an entry and the finanace have to say the reason for the same in audit if there is a query for reason for the changeof non valuted to valuted and this resulted in the entry in this account.
