2. 1
In This Session
• In this session, you will enhance your understanding around:
 Various logistics scenarios
 Step-by-step process flows
 FICO integrations
 Accounting and Valuation
Simple Finance (Add-on for Business Suite on HANA) or S/4HANA Finance simplifies the
underlying table structure. However, the business process flows remain unchanged.

• Key Decision: Whether to implement “GR-based IV” for ensuring 3-way Match as recommended for control
• For Goods Receipt, if Material is valued at Standard Price, the difference with PO Price goes to Price Difference
• For Invoice Receipt, if Material is valued at Moving Average Price, the difference between PO Price and Invoice is posted to Inventory to the
extent inventory is available in stock. Else, the difference is posted to Price Difference.

• Consignment Issue: When Consignee sells the consignment stock (special stock) to a third party. Relevant for Billing.
• Consignment Return: When Consignee receives return of goods from third party. Relevant for Credit Memo.
• Consignment Pick-Up: For returning goods from consignment Consignee’s stock (special stock “W”) to unrestricted-use stock

What We’ll Cover
• End-to-End Scenario Overview
• Key Process Flows with Accounting
• Preliminary and Periodic Valuation
• Wrap-Up

27. 26
Preliminary (Real-Time) Valuation
• Price Control
 Price Control indicator in material master determines the valuation – MAP (V) or Standard Price (S)
• Moving Average Price (V)
 Represents weighted average price (= Total Value/Quantity)
 Price gets updated with each Goods Receipts
 Recommended for externally procured materials
• Standard Price (S)
 Price is determined and updated periodically, either manually or using Material Cost Estimate (Cost Roll-Up)
 Recommended for in-house-produced products
 Variant Configured materials should be valuated using Sales Order Cost Estimate, as there is no Material Cost
Estimate
 Must for Material Ledger/Actual Costing
• Split Valuation
 Can be used to valuate sub-stocks of same material in different ways
 Example – Externally procured vs. in-house-produced, duty-paid vs. duty-free, by quality, by batch
 Parent material is always maintained in MAP

28. 27
Periodic Revaluation
• Material Cost Estimate (Cost Roll-Up)
 In-house-produced materials are valuated using Standard Price
 Standard Price is calculated based on master data like BOM, Routing, Costing Sheet
 Price gets updated in material master; Revaluation gain/loss posted in accounting
• Manual Price Change (MR21)
 For updating Price in material master periodically
 Commonly used for Materials with price control indicator “V”
 Can be used for “S” Materials if Standard Cost Estimate has not been released yet
 Revaluation difference (gain/loss) is posted in accounting
• Actual Costing with Material Ledger
 Preliminary valuation for all goods movements is performed with Standard Price and
Price Variances are maintained in Material Ledger
 At period-end, closing inventory is revaluated with determined “Actual Price” or periodic
unit price
 “Actual Price” can be used for statistical purposes as well without Accounting (optional)
• FIFO and LIFO
 Available for month-end inventory valuation adjustment reports
 Material is valuated in moving average price for daily purpose

Work in Progress (WIP)
Scenario: WIP represents goods in production that have not yet been completed at the end of an accounting period
• Status of the manufacturing orders controls postings. PREL/ REL  Calculate, DLV/CNF/ TECO  Cancel
• Valuation is carried out based on net “Actual Cost” using the formula:
= ∑ (Debits on account of Material, Activity, Overhead, etc) – ∑ (Credits on account of settled cost, i.e., COGM)
 If the result is positive, it represents “Stock in Process” (FI entry is Dr. WIP Stock, Cr. WIP Offset)
 If the result is negative, it implies ‘”Reserve for Unrealized Cost” (FI entry is Dr. WIP Offset, Cr. WIP Stock)
• WIP Offset account should not be created as Cost Element
