Hi,
Reading data from MBEWH is tricky since as you correctly pointed out there may not be any record in MBEWH for a particular period.The logic for creating a record in MBEWH is for first relevent entry in the current month create a history record in MBEWH i.e. e.g. if there is a say GIR or any stock movement today & if this happens to be the first entry for materialValuation area then it will create a record in MBEWH for the previous period i.e. 2008/03. Now suppose there is no movement at all say for the period 2008/04 & say 2008/05 materialValuation area in that case as per the above mentioned logic for the first record of the materialVal area for the period 2008/06 it will write a record for 2008/05 but there will be no record for the period 2008/04.so to get the currect valuated stock get all records for materialval area into an internal table where
period i.e YYYYMM is GE period under consideration. Then sort the internal table on matnrbwkeybwtarlfgjalfmon. Then loop at the internal table & if you hit the first record pick up the stock i.e the stock you are interested in & exit from the loop. However if no record is found in the internal table get the details directly from MBEW. & that's it. You may refer to SAP help for the same. (search for MBEWH)
I hope this helps,
