The plant plays an important role in the following areas:
- Material Valuation - If the valuation level is the plant, the material stocks are valuated at plant level. Each plant can have its own material prices and account determination.
- Inventory Management - The material stocks are managed within a plant.
- MRP - Material requirements are planned for each plant. Each plant has its own MRP data. Analyses for materials planning can be made across plants.
- Production - Each plant having they own production/planning.
- Costing - In costing, valuation prices are defined only within a plant.
- Plant Maintenance - If a plant performs plant maintenance planning tasks, it is defined as a maintenance planning plant. A maintenance planning plant can also carry out planning tasks for other plants (maintenance plants).
If you want to use the application PP (production planning) or product costing and job-order costing, you must set valuation at plant level.
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 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.
