Hi
You can create new plant in Enterprise structure of IMG in defination-logistic general-define copy delete check plant.
Copy this from standard one like1000.
Valuation level:-
Once set, it is not possible to switch the valuation level from plant to company code, or vice versa. If absolutely necessary to subsequently change the valuation level, contact your SAP consultant because a data conversion is required.
Your choice of valuation level affects the following:
Maintenance of material master records
Depending on the valuation level chosen, accounting data (in particular the valuation price) is maintained for each plant or for each company code in the material master record.
G/L accounts in which material stocks are managed
If material stocks are valuated at company code level, all plant stocks of a material are managed in a joint stock account for each company code.
If material stocks are valuated at plant level, the material stocks for each plant can be managed in different accounts. You can define a separate account determination for each plant.
If several plants are to use account determination, you can group them together in Customizing for Valuation and Account Assignment in the section Account Determination .
G/L accounts to which transactions are posted in Materials Management
