SAP Note 18206 - Valuation type during the goods receipt

Symptom:

1. If a valuation type is set in a purchase order (or production order) item that is not assigned to an account, the goods receipt is always posted to this valuation type. However, if you enter a batch during the goods receipt with a different valuation type, the goods receipt is rejected by the system.

2. If no valuation type is set in a purchase order (or production order) item that is not assigned to an account and if no goods-receipt based invoice verification is declared in the purchase order item, the valuation type the goods receipt is posted to is saved in the purchase order (or production order) item during the first goods receipt. As a result, all following goods receipts have the valuation type of the first goods receipt.

3. If no valuation type is set in a purchase order item that is not assigned to an account and if a goods-receipt based invoice verification is declared in the purchase order item, different goods receipts can be made for different valuation types.

Reason and Prerequisites

The system is set this way so that the user, on the one hand, can determine the valuation type for which the goods receipt is to be made.
The invoice verification, on the other hand, that is not based on a goods receipt requires a unique valuation type for the purchase order item so that subsequent debits by the invoice verification can be debited to the correct valuation type.
During the goods-receipt based invoice verification, this allocation is made via the goods receipt document.
For the production order, a unique assignment to a valuation type and thus to a cost estimate number is required for a correct order settlement and cost estimate. For the order settlement as well as for invoice receipt it must be ensured that a possible subsequent debit is made to the correct valuation type. The valuation type is needed for the cost estimate to be able to assign the costs to the correct valuation segment and thus to calculate the price for each segment.

Solution
In case, you want to post different goods receipt for one purchase order item to different valuation types, do not enter a valuation type in the purchase order item and use the goods-receipt based invoice verification instead. This procedure is especially useful for the individual batch valuation.
In the area of production and process orders, there is no comparable solution with the invoice verification related to goods receipt. The solution is provided using co-products.
