Manufacturing vs Buying

[Former Member]

In our company we can manufacture anf buy the same product to sell it. For example we may make product A but when we have shortage we import product A and sell it to the customer. We need to split these costs seperately because there is a tax advantage in it. We can;t make different material codes. Is there any way this can be achieved. Any input would be highly appreciated.

Thank you

Hi,

I believe you should be able to achieve this using valuation type functionality in standard SAP. No need to have separate material codes. One material master but valuation separated by valuation type. You may have a valuation type for externally procured and another for in-house produced and valuation is maintained at each valuation type level.

The below link would be helpful to you,

If you explore more around this functionality (also discuss with your MM consultant), you should be able to achieve your requirement.
