This field specifies the method or basis for the valuation. The term used in this field affects how the Latest Valuation is calculated.
The options for this field are:
Actual Valuation (AV) is used where a valuation has been made with a high degree of authority, certainty and precision. Usually used when an expert valuer has assessed the item.
Estimated Valuation (EV) is for valuations with less accuracy. These valuations are often provided by in-house specialists in this type of item.
Estimated Mean Valuation (EMV) is the least accurate of the three Valuation Methods, and is often used for low value items and large sets of common items.
If you choose Estimated Mean Valuation, you can either enter a numeric value, or a valuation category in the Value field.
