Answer 3:

The valuation class is a standard class of the classification system. A characteristic of this class refers to the moving average price or standard price in the accounting view in the material master record. With that, it is possible to search for materials with similar prices. The search is possible with direct values, intervals and greater than / less than relationships.

Answer 4:

Page 11: MM - Sample Certification Questions

Question 4 (5bw017 E)

Which of the following statements on price control in the SAP R/3 system are correct?

Answer 1:

Price control “S” allows only purchase orders with constant prices. Therefore, for purchased materials with price control “S”, you should arrange outline agreements to protect the constant price.

Answer 2:

Price control “V” is recommended for purchased materials.

Answer 3:

If a goods issue is posted between when you post the goods receipt and when you post the invoice, and this leads to the total stock being smaller that the quantity to be settled, the system posts any differences between the purchase order price and the invoice for the quantity consumed (stock shortage) to a price difference account, irrespective of the price control that the material is subject to.

Answer 4:

The importance of price control “V” depends on whether the material ledger is active or not. If you are not working with the material ledger, price control “V” means that you are using the moving average price. This means that the value of the stock account and the price per price unit is adjusted for existing stocks.

Answer 5:

In the case of differences between the purchase order price and the valuation price in the material master, the difference is posted to a GR/IR clearing account at goods receipt if you are working with price control “S”. This is then cleared when the invoice is posted.
