where is this "stock value " in your old system? is it at a stock account in the G/L or at cost account?

Consumables in SAP are not stock managed, their PO is account assigned, when you do the goods receipt, then no quantity is posted and the value is charged to a cost account and cost center.

As you have setup the material as a non stock item, it is impossible to transfer a stock value. Not from a MM point of view. And FI should not open a stock account for manual postings and write on a value directly there, as this is causing a mismatch between the MM stock value and the FI stock value (this can then be seen in MB5L transaction) which cannot be cleared with MM activities.
