Dear ,

You can read the explanation for this valuation level at config guide ,here i cap it a little, read the detail in SPRODefinitionLogistics - General--Define valuation level.

Plant level

Valuation must be at this level in the following cases:

- If you want to use the application component Production Planning

(PP) or Costing

- If your system is a SAP Retail system

Hi,

Please allow me to give you simple explanation

Suppose in your plants you are using PP component means there is a mfg activity

where the goods are produced

Suppose there are two separate plants X and Y and they are in different

geographies wherein the local tax structure , transportation charges ,prices of

parts may be different

So when the product is produced in Plant X may have cost say 100 in currency

similarly the same product produced may have less or more cost say 90 or 110

because of price elements

So SAP advises to use valuation level or area as plant so that materials are

valuated according to prices at plant level

Hope it is clear to you

Hi,

As my friends have told SAP recommend for plant valuation.

In Inventory management work is done at plant and storage location levels.When u enter goods movement you only have to enter plant and storage location.The system derives the company code from the plant via valuation area.

Thanks

Hi ,

The GL account determination happens at the valuation area level which in your case is plant but it can be company code also.

SAP recoomends to use plant as valuation area and it is compulsory to use wen u r using retail or pp module.

This is because the comapny might have diferent prices for materials in different plants so they want that each of them shud hit difff gl accnt and moreoevr it will help then in there reporting purpose.

hope it helps u

hii

This is because SAP recommends Plant as valuation area.If you use company code as valuation area then G/L accounts cannot be assigned differentiated by plant.

Go to path

SPRO>Enterprise Structure>Definition>Logistics General>Define Valuation level

Here you will find valuation area is plant and it is checked and graded out

G/L accounts are maintained at plant level.

So account determination is done at plant level.
