Documentation
Definition
You use valuation views to represent different ways of viewing business transactions in a company. You can look at a business transaction from the following viewpoints:
- Group
From a consolidated group viewpoint, a business transaction within the group is reproduced for group cost approaches. This way intercompany profits are eliminated between internal trading partners. - Profit center
From a profit center viewpoint, a business transaction between profit centers is reproduced for management approaches (internal prices). - Individual enterprise
From an individual enterprise viewpoint, a business transaction between internal trading partners is reproduced for external prices.
Managing several valuation methods at the same time for material stocks and goods movements is referred to as parallel valuation.
Procedure
If you are working with parallel valuation, then you select the required valuation view using the F4 help. Note which valuation view you have chosen for calling the report when interpreting the report data. So, for example, the delta profit displayed in the report depends on the valuation view selected.
Dependencies
You activate parallel valuation per controlling area. You assign a currency and valuation profile to the controlling area in Customizing.
You then use this to link the valuation view to a currency type. You make this assignment in Customizing under Maintain Currency and Valuation Profile.

Use
In Profit Center Accounting this field controls whether data is to be managed from a legal view, group view or profit center view.
- In the legal view goods movements are posted between profit centers at the sales price which was agreed between internal trading partners who produce a balance sheet/profit and loss statement independently.
- In the group view the goods movements are posted at the group production cost price which is used for clearing within a group without transfer price surcharges.
- In the profit center view goods movements are posted between profit centers at negotiated transfer prices which are used for internal profit determination and corporate management.
You can find a detailed description on this topic in the online documentation for Profit Center Accounting.
