Sales price valuation (basic functions)
Stocks can be managed not only at cost (purchase price value)
but also at retail (sales price value). Sales price valuation in
SAP Retail is often referred to in the retail trade as the retail
inventory method.
It comprises the following functions:
Sales price valuation for value-based inventory management
When stocks are managed on a
value-only basis, stocks must be managed at sales price value so
that the delivered value of the stock can be calculated. The sales
value is therefore a factor relevant to Accounting.
Sales price valuation for inventory management on an quantity
basis
When stocks are managed on an exact
quantity basis, sales price valuation is not relevant to
Accounting, but can be used for information purposes if
desired.
Activating sales price valuation in plant maintenance
Sales price valuation is activated at
plant level. To do so, you select an indicator in the plant master
record of a particular plant.
Sales value update
The sales value of the stock is
updated after every goods movement. The value is updated in
Material master records
Material documents
Retail Information System (RIS)
Sales price revaluation (basic functions)
If you change a sales price in a plant for which sales price
valuation is active, the material concerned has to be revaluated,
otherwise the margin between the delivered value and the sales
value in the material master would not be up to date.
Sales price revaluation comprises the following functions:
Control of revaluation using revaluation profiles
The sales price revaluation is
controlled by revaluation profiles. In plant maintenance you can
assign the profiles for a whole plant, or for the combination plant
and material group.
Manual revaluation on-line
You can revaluate the total stock or
some of the stock of a material. You can carry out collective entry
for a number of materials.
Automatic revaluation on-line or in the background
You can use a report to select and
then revaluate all materials which contain a relevant change in the
sales price conditions.
You can also start automatic
revaluations at intervals in the background.
Automatic revaluation via POS inbound
If revaluation occurs at POS, an IDoc
is created which contains the relevant revaluation data. This is
transferred via POS inbound to the central R/3 system where the
sales price is revaluated as part of POS inbound processing.
Updating the change in sales value
The change in sales value is updated
after each revaluation. The data is updated in the
Material master records
Material documents (value-only Inventory Management)
Retail Information System (RIS)
Sales value change document
A sales value change document is
created for each change in sales value.
Automatic creation of counting instructions
At POS outbound you can send condition changes to the stores in
the form of IDocs. If changes are made to the sales price, and a
count is to be carried out before revaluation, an indicator
requesting a count is set in the relevant IDoc items.
List viewer enhancement for sales value change
document
A list viewer function has been included in the display for the
sales value change document. This enables you to define your own
list variants, in which you can select and display the information
you require from the sales value change document.
