We had an audit query regarding Inventory valuation. The auditor was not convinced of the price movements. Following is the procedure adopted by me to convince the auditor. In the process I located an error in the system. Kindly let me know which t-code I should use to get the correct values.
We are a Trading company engaged in distribution of Raw Materials (Chemicals) Imported - 99% & 1% local purchase.
Ours is a Moving Average Inventory system in SAP (ECC6). We adopted this because all our materials are imported and most of them are of a different batch no. barring a few exceptions.
I firstly took out the PO history tab screen shot for the value of the inventory (as well as Rate/kg) to know the valuation at the time of GRN. Then I went to MM03 for the same material with the same batch/valuation type so that the rate/kg is confirmed therein, in the Accounting1 screen. Thirdly, the Warehouse stock of Material report (MB52) was run to know the current values. At all these places, I found that the valuation is perfectly matching with the PO history MIRO values, which gives the inventory purchase value.
But when I ran the Material document list, (MB51) report, wherein the inward & outward values of the said batch of material is reported, the inventory value charged to COGS is matching with all the above reports in the previous paragraph for the material issued on various dates. However, the inward date even though it matches with the PO history MIRO date, the value does not match. Is it a report issue or a configuration issue.
Else is there any other report which gives the exact inward and outward value/rate??
