Fields in MIGO - BATCH and Valuation Type

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I would like to know the meaning of the following fields in MIGO.

BATCH - Charg

Valuation Type - Bwtar

Which is the impact of each field?

Should they have the same value in TRA MIGO?

Which means that only the BATCH field is entered and the Valuation Type empty?

Thanks you very much!!

Hi

If the material is split valuated and batch managed, then you will get both the valuation type and the batch number in the relevant fields, in MIGO a separate BATCH tab will be triggered where you can find the batch number, in the Material tab you can find the valuation type

If the material is only split valuated then in the valuation type field of material tab you will find the relevant valuation type

In case if the material is only batch managed but not split valuated then in the batch tab you can find the batch number but in the Material tab you will not find the valuataion type

valuation type comes into the game If a material is subject to split valuation.

you can for example split the valuation based on origin, e.g. internal produced and external procured.

this is more a financial thing.

the batch is the level to segragate the stock of a material. e.g. each GR can be a new batch. so you can manage the stock by FIFO rules and by shelf life. this is a logistics thing.

Both can be used on their own, or together.

if you want manage your materials by batches, but dont need split valuation, then you only have to take care about batch number, and the valuation type field in the batch record stays empty.

if you manage material by batch and you use split valuation, then the split valuation type is a mandatory field in the batch record and you may have to enter batch and valuation type, but usually the valution type is defaulted from customizing.

The tricky part is if you only use split valuation, because then the valuation type becomes the batch number. this is sometimes a bit confusing.
