Material valuation

(in material master)
S V
Standard price Moving average price
Material valuation determines or records the stock value of a material. The stock value is calculated
using the formula: Stock value = stock quantity x material price.
If a material is assigned a standard price (S), the value of the material is always calculated at this price.
If goods movements or invoice receipts contain a price that differs from the standard price, the
differences are posted to a price difference account.
If a material is assigned a moving average price (MAP), the price is automatically adjusted in the
material master record when price variances occur. If goods receipts are posted using a price that
differs from the moving average price, the differences are posted to the stock account; as a result, the
moving average price and the value of the stock change.

Source list
The source list is an aid in the administration of sources of a material for a plant. Here we specify which
sources of a material are allowed and disallowed for a plant and the periods for which these two
statuses are valid.
Source list entries are taken into account in automatic source determination in purchasing and in
requirements planning.

You can decide that a source is preferable over a certain period (fixed indicator).
If no procurement is to be allowed from a source of supply (or vendor) during a
certain period, we set the blocked indicator for the relevant source list entry.
In automatic requirements planning, a purchase requisition can be generated
with a source of supply only if the source list for the material contains a valid
entry with the MRP-relevant indicator set.

Vendor evaluation
Vendor evaluation supports you in procuring both materials and external services, by making use of
data from MM, from the Logistics Information System (LIS info structure S013), and from quality
management.
An enterprise will want to evaluate it's vendors based on different criteria. This evaluation may be useful
in negotiations with the vendor.
Vendor Evaluation will enable you to choose the most appropriate vendor for a specific requirement,
and supports you in the continuous monitoring of existing supply relationships.
A precondition for the use of vendor evaluation is that you previously specify in customizing the criteria
by which your vendors are to be evaluated, and how which aspects of their performance are to be rated.
Vendor evaluation is always evaluated for:
Purchasing organization
Vendor
Each time an evaluation is processed, the vendor gets an overall score, which is determined from the
scores of the Main Criteria with the application of a weighting key.

Release strategy for PO/RFQs
Release procedure
Release procedure is the electronic approval process for releasing/approving any purchase document in
SAP. It can be used to release internal documents such as purchase requisition or external documents
such as purchase order, contract, and scheduling agreement.
Release procedure can be defined in the following documents:
Purchase requisition
Purchase order
Scheduling and contract agreement
Service entry sheet
Two different procedures are available for purchase requisition:

Characteristics
Characteristics are the criteria upon which release conditions are satisfied
If the criteria of a release condition are satisfied, the associated release strategy is assigned to the
purchasing document
Example: Release condition for release strategy BA
If the total value of a purchase requisition exceeds $10,000, release strategy BA is assigned to
the requisition.

Release procedure with classification (cont.)
Release group
It is the grouping of one or more release strategies. This permits multiple usage using the same
release key
Example:
Release group 01 is defined for purchase requisitions.
Release group 02 is defined for purchase orders.
You can define release strategy S3 for both purchase requisitions and purchase orders.
Release code/point
It is a two-character ID given to a person to release (approve) a purchasing document.
Example:
01,02, or AA, AB,
EN for Engineer, MG for Manager, etc.
67 SAP procure to pay business process Copyright 2013 Deloitte Development LLC. All rights reserved.
Release procedure with classification (cont.)
Release status/indicator
It is a code that represents a release status.
The release status is the current standing of the item or the purchase document.
Example
If the proper approval has not yet been received, the release status would display as blocked
The status tells the system what is allowed for the item or document
Release prerequisite
It indicates the order in which individual release codes may release the purchasing document
Example:
01, 02, 03 are release codes
03 has prerequisite of codes 02 and 01
This means 03 can release the document only if 01 and 02 have released it
68 SAP procure to pay business process Copyright 2013 Deloitte Development LLC. All rights reserved.
Release procedure without classification (cont.)
Release procedure without classification can be used only for purchase requisitions.

Open item clearing
Open items are incomplete transactions, such as a vendor invoice which has not been paid.
In order for an open item transaction to be considered complete, the transaction must have been
cleared. A transaction is considered cleared when an offset value is posted to an item or group of items,
so that the resulting balance of the items is zero.
Documents with open items cannot be archived and stay in the system until all open items are cleared.
An example of posting with clearing:
An invoice posted to a vendors account.
This invoice is regarded as an open item because at this point it is unpaid. The company pays the invoice and the
payment is allocated to it. The invoice is cleared with the payment and the resulting balance is zero.

Vendor evaluation
Evaluation of vendor on the basis of certain various performance business criteria for both materials
and services.
Supports you in selecting sources of supply and in the ongoing monitoring of existing supplier
relationships. This evaluation may be helpful in negotiations with the vendor.
Complete integration with purchasing as part of materials management. This means that the data such
as delivery date, prices and quantities are picked from purchase order.
Accesses basic data from materials management, Logistics Invoice Verification, Inventory Management
and Quality Management.
Organization level at which vendors are evaluated is purchasing organization; each purchasing
organization evaluates the vendor assigned to it. A system supported comparison of vendor evaluations
at company code or plant level is not possible in the standard system.

Score and evaluation criteria Main criterion
In order for a particular vendors performance to be assessed in comparison with that of others, a
scoring range must be used. SAP provides a scoring range from 1 to 100 points.
Main criteria constitute the basis for assessing a vendors performance. The following five main criteria
are provided in the standard system:
Price
Quality
Delivery
Service
External Service Provision
System supports a maximum of 99 main criteria.
System computes a vendors overall score from the scores of main criteria. This overall score can then
be used to compare various vendors with each other.

Score and evaluation criteria Sub-criterion
Each main criterion is subdivided into several sub-criteria. Sub-criteria are the smallest units in vendor
evaluation for which scores are awarded. The system determines the score for superordinate main
criterion from the scores a vendor obtained for various sub-criteria. e.g. for criterion price, price
level and price history are system defined sub-criteria.
You can also define your own sub-criteria apart from the system defined sub-criteria. The system
supports a maximum of 20 sub-criteria for each main criterion. You can define different weightings for
individual sub-criteria for each purchasing organization in customizing.
There are three types of sub-criteria:
Automatic: System determines score from data entered at other points (e.g. at time of GR)
Manual: Score has to be entered manually
Semi-automatic: Scores are calculated from the master data entered for a material at info record level (e.g. price
level).
