Disadvantages of non-valuated goods receipt

[former_member504446]

Hello gurus,

we would like to use non-valuated goods receipts for purchasing of assets. I.e. the value of the asset is not posted to the asset account before invoice receipt.

Are there any disadvantages of non-valuated goods receipts that we do not understand yet?

Thank you

Ok, thank you.

And is there any way to make the system propose non-valuated GR in the PO depending on master data (like material master, material type etc.)?

I did not find an option to do this yet.

Thanks again

Alicia

Hi,

It is not possible to get "GR Non-valuated" by default in Purchase Order from material master or material type basis.

It is only possible from Account Assignment Category. Check this in OME9, you can activate "GR Non-valuated" indicator for the Account Assignment Category.

You can proceed with GR non valuated and post value during MIRO, their no wont be any impact.

Dear,

With this Material movements with reference to non-valuated project stock take place with out being valuated.

For example, when a material managed in a project stock is consumed by a network activity (goods issue for reservation), this does not cause actual costs for the activity and no postings are made in financial accounting.

The calculation of MRP networks determines that no planned costs for material components will be managed in the nonv-aluated project stock.

The stockholding WBS element is debited with the actual costs for the external procurement only when the goods or invoice receipt for purchased parts is posted to the project stock.

Nonvaluated project stock does not completely disclose the costs for the network activities or the assigned production orders.

If you implement the nonvaluated project stock, a meaningful cost object controlling is possible only on the level of the stockholding WBS elements or the entire project after period end closing.

Due to the disadvantages of the nonvaluated project stock, the valuated project stock was provided in SAP R/3 4.0 onwards. Network costing can determine, planned costs for material components to be managed in the valuated project stock.

Normally it is recommended that you implement the valuated project stock if this is permitted by the business process.

If this Non valuated stock indicator is ticked in the Purchase Order, then no financial posting is made at the time of posting a Goods Receipt.

The only posting would occur on Invoice Receipt.

It is commonly used for purchasing of fixed assets, because in most countries you do not post

the acquisition until you have the legal back-up in the form of the supplier's invoice.

Also, it is not desirable to post an estimated value (based on the GR) plus a correction

(based on the IR).

Whether should you used non-valuated Goods Receipts or not would certainly depends on your

company's financial policies.
