Maintain Plant

The valuation level that you choose affects

• The maintenance of material master records
  

• The G/L accounts in which material stocks are managed
  

• The G/L accounts to which transactions are posted in Materials Management

Effect on the maintenance of material master records:

Depending on the valuation level chosen,

• you maintain accounting data in the material master record for each plant or for each company code
  

• you define a valuation price for the material in each plant or in each company code

Effect on G/L accounts:

If material stocks are valuated at company code level, all plant stocks of a material are managed in a joint stock account for each company code.

If material stocks are valuated at plant level, you can manage the material stocks for each plant in different accounts. For each plant, you can define a separate determination.

If several plants are to use account determination, you can group these plants in "Valuation and Account Assignment" Customizing.
