Unrestricted and valuated stock are different

Question

we have un-restricted stock of 95140 kg and valuated stock of 5259 kg with value of 1,12,100.
Now how i can make both stocks equal?
suppose my physical stock is 5259 kg which is equal to valuated stock of 5259 kg then how i can reduce un-restricted stock only?

Answer 1

Even having value set to 0, the valuated stock quantity will be affected by every movement. This problem could happened if you set the material type as relevant for valuation after the material was already active (1st you set to manage only quantities, and you had negative stock, then you activate the value updating and just then the valuated stock began taking quantities into consideration).
To solve this problem you should set your valuated stock to 0 (562) posting to an accrual account. Stop all activities in your valuation area, and un-mark the value updating in the material type definition. Post a movement to set your unrestricted stock to 0, change back to value updating and post the correct inventory quantity (561).
Take into consideration that now, you will have in your Inventory GL account only the value corresponding to the valuated stock quantity. The accrual account should be cleared with both movements, but if the correct quantity is the one u have as unrestricted stock, I will suggest to post the 561 for the valuated stock (clearing the accrual account) and then post another movement for Inventory difference to a revenue account.
Hope this helps,
