Batch Management / Split Valuation / FIFO

[Former Member]

Dear All,

Here in my client, the requirement is we will purchase a material on 2 different days first with Rs 10 & Qty is 100 Pcs and for second time we purchase same material with Rs 9 & Qty is 100. So i have stock of 200 & MAP of Rs 9.50. Now i want to issue that material to one WBS say qty of 50 pcs, so here our rqmt is system should pick the price of first received GR price ie; Rs 10

How can I achieve this in SAP ? Its just like FIFO method.

We dont have WM here.

Is this possible w/o maintaining BM ?

Yes, you can achieve it using split valuation. You can maintain one valuation type for each price. No batch management is necessary for this.

If you physically can identify the goods (you can say what was the purchasing price of them), you can choose the corresponding valuation type in system manually when posting goods movement. I think prerequisite of it that goods should be distinguished somehow physically.

If your rule is only to consume them in system as they were received in time and you don't take care of the physicall process (because you cannot distinguish the goods), you can also do it via split valuation and w/o batch management but it's very diummy process. I don't recommend it

Batch management comes in picture (in your scenario) if you want system to determine automatically which goods should be consumed based on FIFO. In this case I recommend to manage the batches not only in system but physically also.

But based on your explanation I have doubts... Please be aware that you should not maintain a separate valuation type for each purchase price (generally)...unless you want to make your life very difficult...

Reagards,

Hi,

Thank You.

Split valuation is not a solution in my case. The price will be keep on changing, so i cannot maintain so many valuation types in the beginning as we will not be aware about the future price. Practically also its not possible.

My client requirement is very clear, Let me explain one more time. They want to issue the material at the price at which they received, system should not pick the price from MMR during GI, It should be GR doc price. Is this possible in SAP ?

Use Valuation Category "X " , this will create a Valuation record for Each Batch upon GRN. So system will mantain Prices Specific to each received batch , so even your consumption will be batch wise and with correct value.
