How a Automatic Batch is linked to a Valuation Type and Price ?

Hi

How a Batch is linked to a Valuation Type ?

How a automatic Batch picks up the valuation type and its price ?

When i do a GR for a material the Batch is automatically generated and total price is calculated which is surprisingly not the PO price.

But it is a price linked to a split valuation of this material.

Thus there is difference in price for the material in PO and in GR which is making the system to calculate the difference Price and posting to a separate G/L account.

There are many valuation types for a material so i want to reduce the valuation types and regularize the price not to vary much.

How can i do this ??

Cheers

Hi Maruthi,

If a material is under split valuation, during GR, the valuation type must be entered and the batch is linked to the valuation type (table MCHA).

If the PO price is not used in the GR, is it because the price maintained in Material Master is standard price in the valuation type level? If it is standard price, the system will use the material price to post the GR and any difference between the PO price and the standard price will go to the price difference account.

Hope this helps.

Phyllis.
