Question:
Hi,
I have the material use Valuation Cat... it has more Val Type attached to it.
So, every time, when I perform GR/GI, system will use the price in Val Type.
I have no problem if this standard process... however, when it comes to Consignment, I got headache. Why? Because in Consignment settlement, system will read the price in Info Record. Because I use Val Type, I have difference price for this material and in Info Rec, I can only specify one price.
Have you ever encountered this before? What is the workaround?
Please advise... thanks.
Answer:
You can setup a price for info category standard and a different one for info category consignment.
Answer:
Hello svetja,
Thanks for the information but I think I didn't make myself clear. My question my material is use for consignment process only... and for this material, I have two Val Type attached to it:
Val Type Oversea, price is $10
Val Type Local, price is $5
so I have created the Info Record with Consignment Category. But in Info Rec, I can not capture the price for each Val Type... because I cann't create the info rec at Val Type level...
Do you know how to goes about this???
Thanks.
You can setup a price for info category standard and a different one for info category consignment.
Answer:
so you have two different prices for the same period from the same vendor, not very usual for me.
The val type oversea and local indicates more that you would better create two vendors.
Answer:
hi
As you said, the valuation types are indegeneous and imported, you cannot maintain one single vendor for this material, as the prices, units, are bound to differ. So better maintain 2 separate vendors, with separate price units and price.
everything will be ok then....

Hi Svetja,
I have found myself that this is a very interesting topic since this will be happening to one of my Group Company in the near future and would like to share with you my subjective comment. In our industry, we have decided to use the Valuation Type for 'Rotated Spare Parts' which are, by definition, those that can be repairable for instance electric motor, fans etc... Physically and technically, they are the same. The only difference was the value that we should book in our balance sheet account. Therefore, it is very much true that we will have to set up one-to-one business relationship between material number and vendor for different valuation type. We can not create two vendors for different valuation types since in fact, we will pay to only one vendor and besides we would not prefer to have a duplication in our vendor master data.
Therefore, it would be appreciated if you or some expert can help us figure out how to overcome this problem.
Thanks,
HT

Answer:
I think this can be achieved, but it adds manual work to the user.
In IMG trasaction OMWC, button Global categories, you must not enter a default valuation type and must not set the proposal as obligatory.
When creating the info record you must not enter a valuation type.
While creating PO, user is forced to enter valuation type manually, because field is mandatory if split valution is active for material.
So it is possible to have one info record, for vendor/material relationship. However you can only have one price there. You need to decide which one: for the new parts or for the repaired parts.
And user has to overwrite the defaulted price in PO when using the "other" valuation type.
I recommend not to enter a default valuation type, becuase then the users are forced to think. If there is a default they may not change the defaulted valuation type and GR posts then to wrong val.type.
Answer:
svetja always provide GREAT help... I will try it later.
But if we can create the Info Rec at Val Type level, I think the problem is solved... in IMG, I can't find it for this setting.
Is this the limitation from SAP?
Thanks in advance

Answer:
svetja,
but it still didn't get the problem solve.
i.e.
val type 1 = new
val type 2 = repair
in info record, we still can only enter one price - val type 1 / 2.
And this is Consignment process, during the settlement, system will read the info rec and do the settlement. This cause the problem where AP folks will not know that they need to change the price in info rec... what price is for what val type, etc. And if there is need for reversal, then it will be another headeache.
what do you think?

Answer:
You rephrased exact what I wrote:
So it is possible to have one info record, for vendor/material relationship. However you can only have one price there.
And PMs question was about foreign and local valuation type together with consignment I answered:
not very usual for me.
The val type oversea and local indicates more that you would better create two vendors.
I dont see a chance for an automatic process.
Answer:
I dont see a chance for an automatic process.
exactly. I could only concule that this the limitation for the current version (4.6C). Hopefully the next version will allow us to creat the Info Rec at Val Type level.
Good luck
