Hi there,

You dont have to create new material numbers to set up additional valuation types. You can have the same material number and have it in different valuation types. We use NEW SVC and USVC. for each material number. That allows us to distinguish between those that can be repaired and those that cant.

What is the better way to Identify Repairable MRO Inventory?

All of our stock is currently identified as Material Type HIBE and the only distinction to identify repairables is in the PO text. We have thought of changing to a REPR material type or using a different valuation class but we would now have to create new Material Numbers in either case. We thought about Material Group management but purchasing would now lose sight of the commodity type for potential negotiation leverage with suppliers at a later date. We thought about Storage Location which may work well for stocked material but I may have to find a different strategy for non-stock repairables.
