[FSCM] add parallel valuation area and new valuation classes

Hi, everyone
I have a plan to add parallel valuation area and new (general) valuation class for International Financial Reporting Standards. But I have no experience adding another valuation area. Basically, SAP says new valuation area could be added any time. The concept of parallel valuation area also support that. But I am concerning that there could be a problem technically. Even though there would be a problem when I try to transfer valuation class of new valuation area.
If someone has an experience with these problems, please let me know and prepare that.
Thanks.
Best regards.

OX14 - Define Valuation Area (Tick one only- Once your system go live, no more changes)
             Most company take the SAP recommended choice - Value Material Stock at Plant level
             Value Material Stock at Plant or Company Level
          o If you valuate material stocks at plant level, the plant is the valuation area.
          o If you valuate material stocks at company code level, the company code is the valuation area.
          o The decision you make applies to the whole client.

Treasury Money Markets- Operative Valuation Area and Parallel Valuation Are

Hello Folks
I have a problem I am trying to fix in Treasury Money Markets. The guys that created the fixed term deposits in Money markets did not create them in the Operative Valuation area. They created them in the Parallel Valuation area and went ahead to initialize it, they deleted the operative valuation area. Now the problem came in when new transactions were created. In the process of creation they asked for the operative Valuation area i.e. the new transactions being created. This was then created, but now the problem comes in settling and posting of the old transactions that have matured. These do not exist in the Operative Valuation area.
I cant post anything using TBB1 for the old transactions that were created without the operative valuation area, the system dumps and from the analysis I can see that its the lack of the operative valuation area. For the new transactions being created, a payment request cannot be generated for transactions requiring one.
How can I make sure that the Transactions in the Parallel valuation area also exist in the operative valuation area? Has anyone ever had this problem? Any suggestions on how I can go about solving this problem?
Regards
Valentine

Hi,
I assume the valuation area you are asking about is in transaction manager component only. Technically all valuation areas are same in the sense that they have the same functionality. But from a functional stand point, every valuation area is determined based on either different accounting principles or different valuation needs. For e.g. one valuation area can be for your local GAAP while one can be for IFRS. It all depends on the business requirements whether you need multiple valuation areas at all or you can use one itself.
By default 1 valuation area is required and hence 001 will be active and this will be your operative valuation area. Any other valuation are you define will be parallel valuation area. Now if you dont want other valuation areas, then you need not create them. In your system, if you have been using 004 as for lets say IFRS and after upgrading you can configure 001 according to IFRS itself if you dont want VA according to any other GAAP.

Valuation Area and Material master

Dear All,
Can anyone explain the relation between Valuation Area and Material Master.
According to my knowledge,Plant has relation with Material master.
SAP recommends Plant to be Valuation Area.
Regards

Hi Venkat,
Valuation Area is the level at which u need ur Material to be valuated .
V have 2 options as :
1> Company Code
2> Plant
SAP recomends aat Plant level.
If u Company code is used then the Material is valuated at same price across whole company.
The decission of Valuation Area has to be done at configuration level.
And once done , it should not be changed ..............as SAP states
Thanks & Regards
Hope this helps

Assign Business Area to Plant/Valuation Area and Division

Hi,
While assigning Business Area to Plant/Valuation Area and Division, in SPRO we are getting two tabs for the same:
a. Allocation for Plants and Valuation Areas differs.
b. Allocation for Plants & valuation areas identical.
What is the actual use of the same.
In our case, Plant & Valuation area is same, hence we need to use the option b. There is no need to assignment using option a.
What is the significance of DIVISION here.
Pls. guide.
Regards,

hi
1. Allocation for Plants and Valuation Areas differs.
This is done when valuation Area is Company Code
2. Allocation for Plants & valuation areas identical.
This is done when Plant & Valuation Area both are Same
As you are using same plant & valuation area you can use option 2.
Division;
A way of grouping materials, products, or services. The system uses divisions to determine the sales areas and the business areas for a material, product, or service.
Thanks

Valuation area in F107 Valuation Run Problem

I'm trying out 1 exercise in AC010 course to perform valuation run F107 for customers and I found the below problem and cannot be resolved in IDES ECC6.
I have a customer using Value Adjustment Key AB.
My valuation area used is US as per the exercise.
When i perform F107 run, the valuation log saying Valuation adjustment key is not valid for BE.
So I go and check the valuation adjustment key.
The value for AB is 5% 30 days with valuation column is empty.
So I suspect that cause by the AB key.
I created a Z0 key with 5% 30 days and use US as valuation area.
The valuation run successfully picking up the customer overdue line now. So I start to perform valuation transfer.
This time another error occured the valuation transfer log shows
F107: 104 Account determination not correct INT 0000140000 B03
F107: 102 CoCde/G/G/Error when posting 1000 0000140000
SO I go and check the account determination OBB0. Transaction B03 and COA INT.
The account assignment is correct whre recon account 140000 is mapped to adjustment account 142100 and target account 210100.
To further investigate, i check table T030U. I found the valuation area is blank in the table. So I suspect this could be the root cause. but I'm stuck here.
I believe something has went wrong in my config. Anyone did this exercise before can share what is the remedy?
Or anyone has any idea what should i do next?

Yes. You are right. I am facing exactly the problem when I was delivering the AC010 training.
In the Classic GL, we do not have the valuation area in transaction F107. However, the configuration screen of OBB0 has not been updated even when the New GL is activated (at least in my version). In such case, the program cannot determine the correct account since the valuation area is missing in the Table T030U.
I had tried to fill in the valuation area in the table T030U in a very rude way - add it to the table directly in the SE16N. The program works well with my violence. I am not very sure if there is any more u201CStandardu201D way to do sou2026

Add on toolbar appears but add ons don't, and new customized toolbar appears only when customize window open - toolbar not named in toolbar list?

I have used View=> Toolbars => and ticked off all the toolbars that I want to appear. BUT the add on toolbar shows up blank (i.e. toolbar but no add ons). AND the new customized toolbar I created is not even listed in the available toolbars to tick off or not. The only way I can get it to show up (but not to function) is by clicking the customize button. The toolbar remains open only so long as the customize window does, and I can add/remove/rearrange icons, but not use any of their functions (eg. I added a new window button to the custom toolbar but when I click it of course nothing happens, because another window -- the customize window -- is still open). I need some way of locking this toolbar so I can access the buttons to use them please!!!
Btw am using Windows 8 and just switched from IE (and fearing I'll have to switch back again...)
Tnx so much.

Convert Operative Valuation Area to meet the New GL requirements

Hi experts,
Up to now, in our customeru2019s ECC 6 system in the treasury module, there was only one operative valuation area (001) that it is linked to SAP/FI. This operative valuation area calculates results and creates accounting entries based on the Local GAAP which is the only existing ledger in SAP/FI. Our customer wants to activate the New GL functionality in SAP/FI and moreover to have as leading ledger the (New) IFRS Ledger through the migration approach. The other ledger (secondary) will be the local GAAP ledger.
What we already know is that the operative valuation area (001) must be always linked to the leading ledger. Thus the solution for this situation will be the conversion of all the flows from the existing operative valuation area (001) to the new valuation area (002)[new Local GAAP] and after the respective customizing to initialize the IFRS balances per financial instrument to the new operative valuation are (001) [new IAS GAAP].
Could you please be kind enough to know if there is a conversion tool which can deal with this situation or there are other alternative approaches to the issue described above?
Thank you for reading it,
G.P.

Thank you all for your replies.
Our problem is not on how to activate parallel valuation areas and to perform the respective customizing settings for parallel valuation and posting.
Up till now the operative valuation area 001 u2013 (Local GAAP), (we do not have second valuation area), is linked with the current leading ledger in SAP/FI, (there is only one General Ledger in SAP/FI based on Local GAAP). From now on and after the activation in SAP/FI the New GL functionality through the migration process, the Leading Ledger in SAP/FI will be the (New) IFRS Ledger.
The operative valuation area (001) in TRM must be always linked with the primary leading ledger of SAP/FI.
The problem is in the link between the operative valuation area (001) in TRM and the Leading Ledger in SAP/FI. We cannot continue to use as operative valuation area (001) the current one that makes posting to Local GAAP ledger and SAP/FI to have as primary ledger the new one that is based on IAS GAAP.
So the question is after the activation of the parallel valuation areas how to convert the flows from the up till now operative valuation area (001) into a secondary valuation area (002) and to use as operative valuation area (001) the new one based on IFRS.
Thank you again for your replies, we would appreciate any help.

Processing payment in Parallel Valuation areas

Hi gurus,
from business point of view, you trigger payments only from Operative valuation area (001), which means in SAP, that:
- (step 1) first you post respective flows (TBB1), which results in some open items on Open G/L account (one clearing accont) or Customer subledger;
- (step 2) then you execute payemnt program (F111 or F110), which results in clearing of previous open item (in step 1) and creates new open item on respective bank subaccount (depends on Master data of Business partner - SI: payment details);
- (step 3) and last you receive your bank statement, representing confirmation of executed payment. Then you of course post bank account vs bank subaccount and clear the last one.
However, my question is - do you need to follow the same 3 steps for Parallel Valuation areas? Or instead at the beggining you only post to Operative Valuation area (at TBB1), when execute payment run (F111), process bank statement and only after that update Parallel Valuation areas, without steps 2 and 3 (described above). How then it's possible to achieve such functionality, that posting (TBB1) would directly affect respective bank account (vs posting over clearing account and subaccount) - do you need another posting specifications, assigned to payment relevant update types in Parallel Valuation areas and another account symbol, representing Bank account direcly or some other solutions?
Appreciate your advise.
Rgds,
Renatas

Hi Prasad,
thanks for your reply.
I pretty understand the idea of Parallel Valuation areas.
However, if you say that you don't post to GL with TTB1 (I mean those Update types are marked as not relevant for posting) in the Parallel Valuation areas, so my question is how you will get your update of GL accounts in those non-leading leadgers and create required Balance Sheet ? Let's say, you placed deposit of 1.000 EUR with some bank with start date 24/04/20XX, so TBB1 should produce such kind of posting in Leading ledger:
Debit /// Position Money market (Asset side of Balance) /// 1.000 EUR /// Posting date 24/04/20XX
Credit /// Bank clearing accoount (Asset side of Balance) /// 1.000 EUR /// Posting date 24/04/20XX

Valuation area 001 posting issue

HI,
I have got this error message. System doesn't post to VA 001 prior to 20.05.2011. How can I resolve this?
Business Transaction Cat: Interest on Position Date: 01.05.2011 is before the initialization key date of valuation area 001
Message no. TPM_TRG461
Diagnosis
The business transaction ' Business Transaction Cat: Interest' with position date Position Date: 01.05.2011 should be changed or created. It occurs before the initialization key date of valuation area 001. The business transaction that posted the position value on the key date may no longer specify the correct value.
System Response
The business transaction is not transferred to valuation area 001 since it occurs before the initialization key date.
Procedure
If the position displays an incorrect book value based on the change made, you may be able to adjust the book value by manual valuation.

Hi,
Suppose I want to capture all the postings which were made starting from the issue date to Go-live date for a fixed income instrument say bond or fixed deposit then what should be the approach?
What if I keep initialization date as 01.01.2004 for all valuation areas and momentarily make update type not relevant for posting and complete all accrual/amortisation/valuation processes for the past postings and then revert back the changes made to update type. Will it help to capture entire life cycle?
Assumption is all the instruments have issue or purchase date after 01.01.2004.
Thanks

Valuation area not define in STO

Hi experts,
When we create STO, It said valuation area not defined.
I checked the spro, the plant has assigned to company code, and in valuation assignment , I have assigned the business area.
but in T001K, it really doesn;'t have valuation content.
So where I shoud assign the valuation area? I just use same valuation area for plant A and pant B.
Hope to get your help.
Thanks
ALice

Hi Alice,
You never define the valuation area,
You Define "Valuation Control", Valuation area cld be at the Plant Level or may be at the company code Level.
Generally it is kept at the Plant level only.
Path for this is:-
IMG>Materials Management>Valuation and Account Assignment>Account Determination>Account Determination Without Wizard-->Define Valuation Control.
then you group together the valuation areas (Plant) in a Valuation Grouping Code, Same Path with-->Group Together Valuation Areas
and after this you do all the configurations based on the valuation grouping code.
Valuation grouping code is actually a logical entry.
this you do to avoid the repetitive job of doing valuation for each plant if you have more no. of plants.
In your case may be no valuation grouping code is assigned to your plant.
Please check
Hope it helps.

Hi Rajeev,
1) Valuation class is a group where it holds G/L Accounts.
2) Valuation area - where u valuate you materials & transactions may be at plant
    or co. code, most of the cases it is plant.
3) Account Key - whenever a transaction happens in SAP like GR/GI it gets
    updated to G/L Account through this account key
4) Valuation modifier - Within same Chart of accounts & valuation class you can
    further classify G/L accounts.
T-CODE : OMSK
PATH : SPRO -> MM->VALUATION & ACCT ASSIGNMENT->ACCT DETERMINATION ->ACCOUNT DETERMINATION WITHOUT WIZARD->
In the above path you can the settings.

Sales Order Valuated Stock Vs. Non Valuated Stock

Hi Gurus,
What is difference between Sales Order valuated stock and Non Valuated stock. What are the period end processes in each scenario?
Please give me ur valuable inputs.
Thanks in advance,
Ganesh

Hi
The definitions are huge. Sales order related costing and its components are quite complex and configuration involves defining parameters for Req Class, Req Types, also depends on whether sales order item has indv and collective requirements etc
To answer your query In short it is as follows
Valuated sales order stock - this has both the situations of controlling of sales order with and without. Which means u may or may not create a cost estimate for the sales order item
In case of Non Valuated sales order stock - is always with controlling by sales order
The usage of product cost by sales order depends on business situations and other criteria
the main period end closing steps would be as follows
Valuated sales order stocks has all the period end closing steps as u use in make to stock situation, whereas non valuated sales order stock does not support following period closing steps with the exception of RA which can be performed
1) No variances can be determined
2) Actual costs of production orders are settled to sales orde
3) No preliminary costing can be done on the production order
4) No details of costs can be posted to non valuated sales order. Only one cost which is the total actual costs posted to sales order item.
5) There are no planned costs for the sales order item and hence sale price is not determined based on expected standard costs etc.
6) You cannot do profit planning here with changes to sales price based on actual costs of production order
Please note
Settlement receiver in non valuated sales order stocks is the sales item and the settlment type is FUL
Recommendation
SAP recommends to follow sales order controlling depending on the business scenarios becoz of above limitations of non valuated sales order stock
Hope the above clarifies - Pls assign points as a way to say thanks
