Business Scenario - Valuation Type Error

Question

Dear Experts,
We are implementing SAP ECC 6.0 for one of our client.
The scenario is
Our vendor supplies the material with batches with different inco terms.  For example same material will be supplied by the supplier with different prices based on incoterms, like CFR will have different price, FOB will have different price & CIF will have different price.  The batch number is common for all the incoterms.  The Lot produced in the same month will be sold by the supplier with different Incoterms.
Example:
Material     Batch No.     IncoTerm     Price
AX90000          121010          CFR          250.00
AX90000          121010          CIF          275.00
AX90000          121010          FOB          225.00
To map this scenario we have activated split valuation for the material and created valuation type as CFR, CIF & FOB and maintained different prices.
The first time when we receive the material in CFR with Batch No.121010, the valuation type is automatically updated in the batch master.
The problem is next time when we receive the same material with same batch 121010 but in different valuation type CIF, system is not allowing me to receive the material and throws error Valuation type CIF differs from valuation type CFR.
I understood from the sap that you cannot have two different valuation type for the same batch.
Can anyone came across this type of scenario.
Please suggest how to handle this and map this scenario into SAP.
Thanks in Advance,
Regards,
Suresh

Hi Suresh,
If you assign and update each receipt of Batch with Characteristics Value of FOB or CIF or CFR.
Look through  your postings in FI too, if you have same Valuation type, but diff Characteristics you can still track them. in BMBC if your cleint follows FIFO or SLED.
I also appreciate the approach posted  above to have batch created with prefix of the in co term.
Hope this helps,
Thx
