What must you do to implement split valuation? Note: There are 2 correct answers to this question.

Question

Options

• AAssign valuation types to stock types
• BAdd valuation types to all open purchase order items
• CCreate additional accounting data for the relevant materials
• DCustomize valuation categories and valuation types

• A
  4% (2)
• B
  12% (6)
• C
  84% (42)

Explanation

Split valuation in SAP allows a single material to carry different stock values depending on origin or condition - but to enable it, you must first define the valuation structure and then extend the material master to support it.

Why C and D are correct:

• (D) Customizing valuation categories and valuation types is the mandatory Customizing (SPRO) prerequisite - you must define how stock will be differentiated (e.g., by origin: "domestic" vs. "imported") before anything else can work.
• (C) Once customizing is done, each valuation type requires its own accounting data segment in the material master. SAP creates separate stock and valuation records per valuation type, so you must extend the material master accordingly.

Why A and B are wrong:

• (A) Valuation types are linked to materials via valuation categories - not to stock types (unrestricted, quality inspection, blocked). Stock types are an unrelated inventory concept.
• (B) Open purchase order items do not need to be manually updated with valuation types. The valuation type is captured at goods receipt, not retrofitted onto existing PO lines.

Memory tip: Think "C–D = Configure then Data" - you always Configure the framework first (D), then supply the Detail data in the material master (C). If you skip either step, split valuation won't function.
