It is used to calculate the current value of an item based on its original purchase price and any subsequent devaluations. The devaluation counter also helps to identify items that have been devalued too much and need to be replaced.

  The devaluation counter can be accessed in the SAP system by navigating to the Inventory Management module and selecting the “Devaluation Counter” option. From there, users can view the current value of an item, as well as any previous devaluations that have been applied. The counter can also be used to apply new devaluations or reset the counter back to its original value.
