Change material type and valuation class

hi
my client want to change material type and valuation class in their production system. but the material no. and some transaction had done by this material. anything i need to concern? especially, in FI part. thank

Hey Changing of Material Type is one step
Changing of valuation class is other
and underneth that changing of account is another attached to the valuation class.
The basic requiremnt will be that client want to change the G/L code attached to the valuation class.
If you have already done some transaction it is not fininacialy right to move valuation classes.
Tell in detail what is the requiremnt.

You can change the material type in MMAM trxn code if the material dosenot conatain any open purchase requisitions, open reservations & open purchase orders. Also material stock should be zero.
Remember the new material type should have same attributes same as old material type.

Material master without valuation class

Hi,
Is it possible to have material master (of different material types) without valuation class?
Also, is it possible to have only one GL account getting reflected for all these materials when we do posting (at the time of Goods receipt) irrespective of material types ?
Regards,
Sid

It is useful in the sense that user do not have to manually do an Account Assignments.
For stock items, valuation class cannot be changed whenever the stock on hand is not zero.
Valuation class are tied to a G/L account.
A change of valuation class means a change of G/L account.
In FI concept, you have to debit and credit to balance the G/L account. That is why your stock must be zero before the system allows you to changed the valuation class. If it is not zero, you have to either transfer it to another material or do a dummy issues. After changing the valuation class, do a reversal entries for the stocks which you have transfer out or you have done a dummy issues

The reasons for this are:

Changing material type for material with history

We needed to change the material type for an existing item with purchasing, inventory and sales history from HAWA to UNBW. We are trying to PGI the first receipt since the change, and are receiving an Account Determination error .
When I look at the material master set-up, I still see records in the MBEW table. UNBW items that are set-up that way from scratch do not have any records in this table. Is this what is driving my error?
I'm guessing that if it is not, there will be some discrepancy between the material, vendor, and capital asset order.
Any insight is appreciated.

even UNBW can have accounting views.
The problem is probably that you just changed the material type and did not change the valuation class in the accounting view accordingly. remove it, and try again.

How to change the value of Valuation class.

dear friends:
i want to change the value of Valuation class in the material master .but system warning info occurs .
The valuation class cannot be changed
Message no. M3 368
Diagnosis
You wanted to change the valuation class. However, this is not possible because one or more of the following already exist for the material:
Valuated stocks in the current period or in the previous period
Open purchase orders or delivery schedule lines
Production orders for which a goods movement has already taken place
System Response
Your change is reset by the system.
Procedure
If valuated stocks already exist, you can change the valuation class only as follows:
a) Post the stocks of the material to an interim account.
b) Change the valuation class in the material master record.
c) Post the stocks of the material back to their original account.
If open purchase orders already exist, you can only change the valuation class if you first flag the corresponding purchase order items for deletion.
If production orders exist for which a goods movement has already taken place, you can only change the valuation class if you first set the status of the production orders to Deleted.
Procedure for System Administration
In Customizing for the Material Master, you can switch the check for open purchase orders and/or for production orders to a warning. You do this in Define Attributes of System Messages by assigning the message type Warning to message MM 326 and/or MM 327 respectively. However, first ensure organizationally that further processing of the open purchase orders or production orders cannot result in inconsistencies.

To resolve SAP error message M3 368 I would suggest that you refer to SAP note number 1967543. This note outlines the issue and a resolution to it:
Please have a look at the description of the error M3 368. This error may occur if one or more of the following already exist for the material:
1. Valuated stocks in the current period or in the previous period
2. Open purchase orders or delivery schedule lines
3. Production orders for which a goods movement has already taken place
Resolution:
If you have valuated stocks in the current period or in the previous period, you will get message "Stocks already exist.". You have to clear all the stocks both in current period and previous period. Please have a look at SAP Note 30656, it shows an example on how to clear the stocks in
previous period. You can use transaction MIGO to execute this step.
If you have open purchase orders or delivery schedule lines, you will get message "Purchase orders already exist.". You can find related purchase orders after you click 'Display Error' button. Please delete them in transaction ME22N.
If you have production orders for which a goods movement has already taken place, you will get message "Production orders already exist.". Please archive these production orders. You need to set deletion flag for these orders firstly and go to SARA, use archiving object PP_ORDER to archive
these orders.
Kind regards,
James

Price control indicator and valuation class

All SAP Gurus,
Is there any relationship between price control indicator (V and S) and valuation class?
We want to change the price control for certain materials from V to S and for certain materials from S to V.
Regards,

HI ,
There is no direct releation between valution class and the Price control.
Yes but a indirect relation.
it is by the maeterial Type .
in OMS2--we define the default Price control indicator.
in OMSK -we define the Material type and the Valution class linkage.
Know the Price control Indicator always triggers your value .and the way it has to be posted.(on a default value or a Purchase value on a weighted average basis)
and valuation class triggers ..where it has to be Posted.( GL account)
so it is how.
But there could some other implication of the chase of the Price control..becoz.your Previous period price and current period would implact.
you stock valution would impact.
so check all these before you Proceed
hope so it helps
Regards
Anjanna.

Changing Material Types

Gurus,
I have a situation. We have multiple Plants under different CC with common materials being traded between different Plants. A raw matl for one could be the FG for another and such similar cases. Now when I am trying to onboard a new Plant in my landscape, I notice that certain materials are FERT for me, but they have already been defined as ROH in the system.
We have agreed to change the Matl types to a new common one. Please tell me the steps and precautions to be taken while doing this activity.
Regards
Keshav

Use t.code: MMAM - for changing the material type but you change the material type in MMAM transaction automatically also the valuation class will be changed in material master. The system will take the changed material type valuation class which was created for that material type.
If valuation class changed, U have to take care of..
1) Valuated stocks in the current period or in the previous period.
2) Open purchase orders may be there.
3) Production orders which a goods movement has already taken place.
For this first you have to do the following:
If valuated stocks already exist, you can change the valuation class only:
1) Post the stocks of the material to an interim account.
2) Change the valuation class in the material master record.
3) Post the stocks of the material back to their original account.
If open purchase orders already exist, you can only change the valuation class if you first flag the corresponding purchase order items for deletion.
If production orders exist for which a goods movement has already taken place, you can only change the valuation class if you first set the status of the production orders to deleted

Hi Gurus,
One of our customers insists on a basic way to find easiest way to list "material codes" by some "valuation class" values. I know it can be done by cross referencing with different tables but i wonder are there any single transaction that shows material list?
Thank you all
Btw, i am newbie here, this is my first message:)

Difference between Material type and Item category

What is the difference between Material type and Item category?
We can differentiate different kind of materails according to material type then why do we have Item category which is also more or less on the same lines.
Both can be considered as a terminology in SAP to group similar kind of materials.
Please let me know the exact difference between the two?

Dear Christino
We can list out so many differences.
When you create a material master record, the material type you choose determines:
- Whether the material is intended for a specific purpose, for example, as a configurable material or process material
- Whether the material number can be assigned internally or externally
- The number range from which the material number is taken
- Which screens appear and in what sequence
- Which departmental data you may enter
- What procurement type the material has; that is, whether it is manufactured in-house or procured externally, or both
Together with the plant, the material type determines the material's inventory management requirement; that is:
- Whether changes in quantity are updated in the material master record
- Whether changes in value are also updated in the stock accounts in financial accounting
In addition, the accounts affected by a material entering or leaving the warehouse depend on the material type.
-Most importantly, Users can be authorized to create materials of specific material types but not based on item category
- Item category will define whether the material should be valuated for stock or it should be considered as non-stock
- Pricing is carried out based on Item Category and not based on Material type

Can we change material type after creation of material

hi all ,
can any body tell me how we can change the material type of already created material , i have a material type (do not use raw material) which i want to chage in raw material
please reply

Hi Manjit
Try transaction MMAM
It may not work if you have some differences in field selection between the old material type and the new material type (e.g. batch mandatory in old material type and hidden in new material type)
It may not allow processing if stock has already been posted

Steve

How to avoid changing material type in MIGO & J1IEX ?

Dear all,
How to avoid changing material type in MIGO & J1IEX ?

hii
i think u asking about the , if the material is excisable , then it will ask for material type , not all material type , onle like asset , raw material, consumable, non cenvatable , finished oods and tools.
There i hope its standard SAP system setting , because some time the if do consumable procurement with excisable material .
While doing Gr or J1IEX system will consider that material is capital item, that we cancahge to raw material and we can utilize the cenvate credit in the same year .
so it cannot be hide or making gray mode is difficult in practical.
So revert any clarification
Thanks
