  Non-valuated stock is a type of inventory in SAP's Materials Management (MM) Inventory Management (IM) component. It is a type of stock that is not assigned a value, and therefore does not appear in the company's balance sheet. Non-valuated stock is typically used for items that are not intended to be sold, such as raw materials or components used in production. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Non-valuated stock can be managed in SAP using the MM-IM component. This component allows users to track the quantity and movement of non-valuated stock, as well as any associated costs. The MM-IM component also allows users to set up rules for managing non-valuated stock, such as minimum and maximum levels, and to generate reports on the status of non-valuated stock. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up rules for managing non-valuated stock, it is important to consider the company's specific needs and goals. For example, if the company is trying to reduce costs, it may be beneficial to set up rules that limit the amount of non-valuated stock that can be held at any given time.
