if you have goods movements without a reference, you can specify the
sales value (sales price including sales tax) manually.

If the screen does not have the field <LS>Sales price</>, then you have
a Customizing error: the sales price valuation was activated in the
valuation area, but the field selection of the movement type was not
changed accordingly. In this case, contact your system administrator.
Check the definition of the sales price.

distribution chain maintained in the distribution center's master data
is used.
