Use

In this step, you control which inventory values are transferred from the material ledger to Controlling for the multiple valuation of cost of goods manufactured.

Requirements

  1. You have activated the enterprise extension EA-FIN in order to be able to work with the alternative valuation run.
  2. In Customing of Financial Accounting, you have defined the relevant accounting principles and assigned them to the appropriate ledger groups (in the basic settings of Financial Accounting (New) under Define Accounting Principles and Assign Accounting Principle to Ledger Groups).
  3. In Customizing of General Controlling you have created additional versions under Maintain Versions, and selected one of the valuation views Parallel Cost of Goods Manufactured 1 to Parallel Cost of Goods Manufactured 3.
  4. In Customizing of General Controlling, you have created a currency and valuation profile under Maintain Currency and Valuation Profile, and linked it with one of the valuation views Parallel Cost of Goods Manufactured 1 to Parallel Cost of Goods Manufactured 3.
  5. In Customizing of Product Cost Controlling, you have made the following settings for the material ledger under Activate Actual Costing:
    • For the plant, you have defined that the activity update for price determination is relevant.
    • You have specified that the periodic costing run is to be used, in order to credit the cost centers.

Standard settings

If you want to work with the multiple valuation, you have to decide whether you always want to work with standard costs and with actual costs in only a few countries, or whether you always want to work with actual costs.

  • If you always want to work with actual costs, you must carry out two costing runs, the periodic costing run and alternative valuation runs.
    • The leading version (version 0 in Controlling) flows into the periodic costing run.
      You should then set that from this run, closing entries are created in the leading accounting principle.
    • The other versions flow into the alternative valuation runs.
      You should then set that from these runs, closing entries are created in the other accounting principles.
  • If you only work with actual costs in certain countries, you only need to carry out one periodic costing run. This takes into account actual prices from the other version, and creates closing entries in the accounting principle you have defined.

Activities

If you want to work with the multiple valuation, proceed as follows:

  1. For the relevant company code, define which accounting principles are to be filled by the material ledger.
  2. If you always want to work with actual costs, proceed as follows:
    1. For the leading version, you define that the closing entries are determined using the actual costing (the periodic costing run) and that these flow into the accounting principle according to group guidelines.
    2. For the other versions (the alternative valuations), you define that the closing entries are determined using the alternative valuation run, and that these should flow into the local accounting principle or into the other accounting principles.

      If you only work with actual costs in certain countries, proceed as follows:
      For the leading version, you define that the closing entries are determined using the actual costing (the periodic costing run) and that these flow into the local accounting principle.
