‘Price Control Indicator’ is maintained in accounting view and is used to determine how a
material will be valuated. It can be Standard Price(S) or Moving Average Price(V). If the indicator is
set to S, all inventory postings are posted at standard price maintained in material master. If there are
variances in any transaction due to different price, the variance is posted in price difference account.

If price control indicator is set at V, goods received will be done at GR price. The moving average
price will be adjusted in material master using weighted average formula. If goods movements or
invoice receipts are posted using a price that differs from the moving average price, the differences
are posted to the stock account.

SOURCE LIST:
50. EXPLAIN SOURCE LIST? WHAT IS THE PROBLEM IF WE DON’T CREATE
SOURCE LIST ?
The source list contains the allowed, preferred and/or blocked sources of supply for a material in a
plant that are valied wihin a certain period. Each source is defined in the source list by a source
record.
Sources are administered using source lists and quota arrangements. Source list records and quota
arrangements are used in source determination Buyers are not allowed to buy from the blocked
sources.
The MRP indicator in the source list stipulates how the source defined in a source list record is
taken into account in materials planning.
The purpose of source determination is to make it possible for a purchase requisition to be assigned
to a source automatically.
If a source list requirement exists, a material may not be procured from other sources other than
those included in the source list. Can be maintained manually, from Outline agreement, from PIR,

An outline agreement can be a contract or a scheduling agreement. There are two types of contracts:
Qty contract and Value contract
The items of a contract can relate to a single plant or all the plants covered by a purchasing
organization ( centrally agreed contract )
Distributed contracts are centrally agreed contacts that are made available to other R/3 systems for

master exist you need a material desc., material group & account assignment If material exist and it
refers a particular dept. you need manual a/c assignment.
Valuation level can be Company code or Plant, SAP recommends Plant level valuation
SPLIT VALUATION:
If a material is subject to split valuation, you can valuate partial stock of this material at different
prices and manage them using separate accounts.
If a material is split valuated, you can mention in PO, which valuation type you can enter for a
material is determined by valuation category
The valuation category is defined in the Material master of a material. It determines whether the
material is subject o split valuation . The specified material type also should be maintained in the
material master.
106. WHAT IS THE DIFF. BETWEEN BATCH MANAGEMNT & USING VALUATION
CATEGORY ‘X’?
Reason for Batch Management – 1. Defect tracking, Call back activities used for hazardous

Batch levels – 1. Plant 2. Material 3. Client SAP recommends plant level in SPRO
We can use split valuation for batches if value based IM, The Batch No. is Valuation type.
Valuation category ‘x’ is used for Batch Management, and The Batch No. itself is the Valuation type.
Moving Average Price is used because, is a material is created using split valuation, it
indicates that the procurement is subject to change often and the stock should be valuated
accordingly.
