Valuation Accounts
You choose a default valuation account when you define organization parameters.
Under standard costing, these accounts are defaulted when you define subinventories
and can be overridden. Under average costing, these accounts (except for Expense) are
used for subinventory transactions and cannot be updated. For a detailed discussion of
cost elements see: Cost Structure, Oracle Cost Management User's Guide.
Material An asset account that tracks material cost. For average costing, this account holds your
inventory and intransit values. Once you perform transactions, you cannot change this account.
Material Overhead An asset account that tracks material overhead cost.
Resource An asset account that tracks resource cost.
Overhead An asset account that tracks resource and outside processing overheads.
Outside processing An asset account that tracks outside processing cost.
Expense The expense account used when tracking a non-asset item.
Other Accounts
Sales The profit and loss (income statement) account that tracks the default revenue account.
Cost of Goods Sold The profit and loss (income statement) account that tracks the default cost of goods sold account.
