In this section, you can define a material update structure.

During the material ledger update, the system collects data from valuation-relevant transactions such as goods receipts, invoice receipts, and settlement of production orders. This data is collected in different categories in the material ledger in accordance with the material update structure.

The influence that these transactions have on the valuation price upon material price determination depends on the category to which they were assigned. The following categories are available:

  • Receipts
  • Consumption
  • Other Receipts/Consumption

A receipt always effects the valuation price. With consumption, you can determine whether or not it has an effect on the valuation price of a material: the category Other receipts/consumption has an effect, the category Consumption does not.

Example

Requirements

Standard settings

In the standard setup, the categories are defined in material update structure 0001 such that the valuation price from material settlement corresponds to the weighted average price.

Recommendation

Work with the update logic in the standard system. If you work with the given logic, the material stocks in the closed posting period are valuated with the weighted average price.

If this suits your needs, you do not have to edit this section. The system will automatically use material update structure 0001.

Activities

  1. Check whether material update structure 0001 satisfies your requirements.
  2. If you want to create a new material update structure choose New entries.
  3. Enter a material update structure and a description. The description has to begin with a letter.
  4. Select the entry and choose Maintain material update structure.
  5. Choose New entries and enter the following:

  • Process category
  • Category

    If the process category represents a receipt, choose the category Receipts. The category Receipts effects the price. When dealing with process category B+ (procurement), you can also choose the category Other Receipts/Consumption so that you can differentiate between receipts in the material update structure.

    If the process category represents consumption, you can decide whether or not consumption should have an effect on the price.

    • The category Consumption has no effect on the price.
    • The category Other Receipts/Consumption has an effect on the price.

To find out whether a process category represents consumption or a receipt, choose the input help for the process category.

  1. If you want to further differentiate process categories that represent consumption, enter a movement type group for the material ledger. This only applies to consumption that is marked as single-level.

    To see if a particular consumption is single-level or multi-level, select the input help for the process category.

  2. Save your entries.

Further notes

A material update structure must contain at least the process categories B+ and V+.

For some transactions, certain assignments do not make sense:

  • Debits to materials are always assigned to the category Other Receipts/Consumption. Therefore, debits to materials always have an effect on the valuation price.
  • For receipts, a further differentiation according to movement type groups is not planned. This ensures that quantities and values that relate to transactions that belong together are assigned together. An exception to this, however, is process category B+ (procurement). Even though this represents a receipt, you can differentiate between movement type groups.
