ABSTRACT
Inventory management and physical inventory part of materials management in Systems, Applications, and Products (SAP) have many important functions that are used extensively. This chapter discusses the customization part of valuation, account assignment and account determination although they are separate from inventory management. When creating an inventory sampling, the user has to specify an inventory sampling profile. The currency and the default values for the parameters of the inventory sampling are defined. When creating an inventory sampling, the user has to specify the stock management units that are covered by the given inventory sampling. In SAP system, account assignment transactions use subscreens that contain the various account assignment fields. When generating the screens for these transactions, the system searches for the most suitable subscreen, that is, the one containing the most required fields. The valuation classes that are allowed depend on the material type. Several valuation classes are generally allowed for one material type.
