Posting Goods Movements for Material Types UNBW and NLAG

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to create a PO for nonvaluated material and enter goods movements for nonvaluated material

Material Type UNBW (Nonvaluated Material)

For the material type UNBW, it is defined in Customizing that quantities, but no values are updated in the material master record.

This means that no accounting data is maintained in the material master record for materials of this material type, and stock values are not updated. These materials can, therefore, only be procured through account assignments.

The image depicts nonvaluated materials configuration, showing quantity and value updating options by valuation area, for material type UNBW, indicating specifics for pipeline management and valuation areas.

The settings for the material type can be found in Customizing under Logistics - General→Material Master→Basic Settings→Material Types→Define Attributes of Material Types (OMS2).

Goods Receipt for Valuated and Nonvaluated Material

    For other goods receipts, transfer postings, or goods issues, the system does not create postings in Financial Accounting (FI). The field control of a movement type may make it necessary to specify an account assignment, but there are still no postings in FI. If you enter a goods issue for consumption, the system updates the consumption statistics in the material master record.

    Material Type NLAG

    The image outlines configuration settings for non-stock materials (NLAG), choosing no valuation area for both quantity and value updating, indicating these materials aren't tracked for stock or price changes.

    For material type NLAG, it is defined in Customizing that neither quantity nor value-based inventory management takes place.

    This means that materials of this material type can only be procured with account assignment and no stock quantities and values are updated in the material master record. 

    For materials of material type NLAG, the goods receipt for a purchase order with account assignment has the following effects:

    • The quantity is posted to consumption and the consumption statistics are then updated in the material master record.
    • The value is posted to a consumption account. The costs are debited to the account assignment.
