一、Valuation level / Valuation area
The valuation area is the level at which materials are valuated.
It could be maintained at two levels: plant level & company code level.
Notice that the valuation area must be set at plant level if:
1. you want to use the Production Planning
2. you want to use the Product Cost Accounting
3. your system is a Retail system
Hrer you determine the valuation level: spro>enterprise structure>defination>logistics-general>define valuation level
If you have defined the valuation level at company code level, then all the plants within company code use the same valuation area.
If you have defined the valuation level at plant level, then the plant is the valuation area. You can use the valuation grouping code to group together different valuation areas (make sure this function is active).
You can maintain here: spro>materials management>valuation and account assignment>account determination>account determination without wizard>group together valuation areas
二、Valuation class

Post the stock values of materials of different material types to the same G/L account
The valuation class has the following functions:
Allows the stock values of materials of the same material type to be posted to different G/L accounts.
