Hi,

the valuation level denotes at what level u want to valuate your material. Company Code or Plant.

Company Code Level: all the materials in all the plants under that particular company code are valuated at company code level.

EG: 1) if material is moved form Plant A to Plant B with one company code - No accounting document is created.

2) a material cost is same in all plants in a company code

Plant Level: all materials are valuated at that particular plant level.

EG: 1) Accounting document created when material stock is moved from plant A to plant B

2) a different material moving average/standard price can be maintained in different plants

Hope This Helps.

Also Note:

You should define the valuation area at plant level if:

• You wish to use the application component PP or product costing and order costing
• You are working with a retail system
• You wish to use different values for materials for each plant
