When you transfer the stocks of material from the legacy system into SAP the
initial enrty of inventory is done through mvt. type 561. You normally do this
entry via batch input.
The valuation of the inventory data depends on two factors:
1. The price control procedure and prices defined in the accounting view of the
material.
2. Whether you have entered a value for quantity to be transferred.
This is what happens for materials with Standard Price:
1.The initial entry will be valued at Standard Price defined in the material
master.
2. If a different value is entered in the batch input data, this difference is
posted in the price difference account.
This is what happens for materials with Moving Average Price:
1. Whatever value you have entered for the intial data entry in the batch input
is used to valuate the quantity transferred.
2 If initial inventory value in batch input / inventory quantity differs from
the MAP, the MAP is changed when you do the initial entry of the inventory
data.
3. However if you have not maintained a value for the initial entry in the batch
input the quantity transferred is valuated according to the MAP and the price
does not change in this case.
You can add a new material to the material master and set a beginning balance
on it by using transaction MB1C.
