you have valuation at company code level.
both plants are in same company code, so same valuation level, so no FI document created , the FI docuement not required here
For profit center, FI document will be ceated for that profit center.
This is standard process only

Valuation at company code level

Hi friends! How to configure valuation at Company code level?

use t.code: OX14
You define the valuation level by specifying the level at which material stocks are valuated. You can valuate material stocks at the following levels:
Plant level
Valuation must be at this level in the following cases:
If you want to use the application component Production Planning (PP) or Costing
If your system is a SAP Retail system
Company code level
The decision you make is valid for the whole client. You are recommended setting material valuation at plant level.

Can a plant material valuated from company code to other company code ???

we have a lot of ships(plants) and the ship here defined as a plant with it own storage locations .
we have three company codes some ships are assigned to one company code and after a period of time it rented to other company code with its storage location........and the inventory go from one with its plant from company to another....
can i handle this case ?

we can transfer material from one company code to other company code, One Plant to other Plant & one storage Location to other storage location . if material is valuated then accounting document will get generated while GR . material l price will get updated for new plant/ company code
Depends on your valuation type whether it is company code or plant

Valuation at plant level and company code level

Hi,
Can someone explain me the difference between the valuation at plant level and company code level with a real world example?
Regards,
Malsha Kalubowila

Hi,
Inventory can be valuated at two levels either at company code level or at plant level. If you select valuation at company code level, all materials across all the plants will have same material price since valuation is at only company code level.
Say for example Company code 1000 is buying a material which unit price is Rs. 10 from a vendor who supplies to two different plant A & B of company code 1000. Assume Plant A is situated near vendor premises itself (so freight cost is Re 1 extra) whereas plant B is situated at far away from vendor place (so freight cost rs 2 extra) and both cases freight cost is borne by the company and not by vendor.
Assuming you have selected valuation at plant level, now in plant A same material will be valauted at Rs. 11 (10 +1) whereas at plant B it is valuated at Rs. 12 (10+2).
Whereas if you have selected valuation at company code level, price will not be valuated at plant level rather at company code level which will get updated at moving average price in this case.
So it is always best practice to select valuation at plant level rather than at company code level.

Material Ledger activation at Company Code Level

Hi All,
I have a requirement where Material Ledger need to be activated at Company level and not at single Plant Level. We are about to implement ML and would like to have periodic unit price calculated at company code level (e.g. 1 material, 4 plants, 1 company = 1 periodic unit price).
I went through the customization , it only refers to Plant level (Valuation area level)
Could anybody throw light on this.
Regards
Barbara

Hi,
What is the valuation level?
If the valuation is at plant level you can maintain different views at different plants of these company codes.
If only name is different i think you would do better with the same material code, and if you still want to differentiate please create two different materials

Valuation Area at Company Code level

Hi,
In what ideal business case/industry one should set valuation area at company code level when SAP recommends valuation area must be set at Plant level ? in other words..what is the practical purpose of Valuation area at company Code level?

Hi
Think that valuation area link with records in table MBEW. So, if you have a company with 3 plants, and you have a single valuation for all company, in 3 plants the valuation of materials are the same, with their implications in valuation of stock and valuation of margin in sales (remember that this value can flow -really, use to flow- to condition VPRS in SD, well see SAP Note 1365939 - VPRS logic and Customizing settings in SD and SAP Note 547570 - FAQ: VPRS in pricing for more details). If you do a valuation different by plant, stock and margin calculations are different.
What are the elements that you must considerer?
1. If the materials is purchased, think if the same material have different conditions (different conditions in MM, for instance, indirect costs as shipment costs, different vendor with meaningful differences in prices or discounts). It's indiferent that it is a raw material or a material that you can sell. The raw material will work in product costing as an item in BOM. First of all, considerer the impact in stock value, second think how is delivered the materials to customer from plants and their impact in profitability analysis. If there are meaningful differences for the same material between different plants and you give the same value in all company, depending of the mix perhaps your customer is fooling himself about this issue.
2. If the material is manufactured, talk with your CO consultant and what kind of impact could have different routings, BOM and prices of raw materials between plants. Same considerations for valuation of stocks and margin.
Finally, in the page 10 of the document you can read
Valuation must be at Plant level in the following cases:
u2022If you want to use the application component Production Planning (PP) or Costing
u2022If your system is a SAP Retail system
I hope this helps you
Regards
Eduardo
PD: I forgot, talk this with the CFO of the company, taking in account the restrictions (when it must be plant level).

Is it possible that we generate material requirement in MRP at company code level?

We want to generate material requirement in MRP at company code level, what is the possibility or any work around.
Thanx in Advance.

Hi Mirza
This is not possible on the standard system. The highest planning level on MRP is the plant.
It has been discussed on the following thread, where BAdI MD_CHANGE_MRP_DATA was proposed as a solution, however, the logic to be implemented on this BAdI is very complex:
MRP Run considering Stocks for Multiple Plants and Requirement maintained for Plant Cluster
If you want to know more about the BAdIs available on MRP check the following document:
BAdIs for MRP
Another alternative is to use flexible planning to plant at company code level, then disaggregate the planning to the plants and transfer the result to demand management and MRP.
See the following thread for details:

Vluation at company code level and transfer prices in EC-PCA

Hi,
We have the following configuration:
1. Valuation of stock at Company Code level.
2. Transfer pricing between Profit Center (i.e. Material Ledger is active).
we experience some technical issues (e.g. we get error message when entering MM03 accounting view). Our Plants and Company Codes were created using copying standard SAP delivered Org. units.
Did any of you implement such a configuration? Do you have knowledge of limitations and problems that might result?
TIA for you help,
Avihay

Never mind. We managed somehow to figure it out ourselves.

Client level, chart of accounts level, company code level

Generally what are the areas under client level, chart of accounts level, company code level.
For Ex. document types are client level, number range company code level
like the above does we have any list which is falling in the above levels.

1. Generally during customising when co code data is not asked , then settings are client level.
Country, Currency, Document types, all variants of diff types, chart of accounts, etc
2. Every master is having data - General data level (client level) for use by all co codes, Co code data level(basically for accounting purposes) and so on.
These are applicable to GL, Vendor, Customer, Asset, Matlerials, etc
For particular application we have more information at another object level also- Vendor- Purchasing, Customer-Sales, materials-Plant- controlling, etc
3. Chart of accounts level assignments are done for all automatic posting definitions-which is applicable to all company codes which are using same chart of accounts.
4. In material setting- valuation can be grouping level, co code level or plant level as these are related to costing and product costing.
Hope the above will give some idea.
In the above nothing is written about CO as you have not asked-

MRP at company code level

Dear Experts,
We required MRP at Company code level.
We have 33 plants for MRP run , While running MRP system has to consider Finish Goods stocks of all plant's location should be consider for Availiblity check
MRP run carried with scope of planning , in this scope of planning all the
required plants are assigned , during planning Run , the stocks at other
plants are not consider during NET requirement calculation.
In turn it creates the planned independent requirement directly.
So kindly suggest where we are going wroung.
Thanks
Material with scope of planning for all required plants.
1. material with MRP type --- PD
2.procurement type --- F and X (since planning external )
3.Planning strategy --10

Don,
We required MRP at Company code level
SAP PP does not explicitly support this requirement. Since each plant is owned by a single company, you can run MRP against all plants owned by a specific company. This will at least select the right materials for processing.
While running MRP system has to consider Finish Goods stocks of all plant's location should be consider for Availability check
MRP is not related to availability check. FYI, if you are actually talking about availability check, and not MRP, there is no availability check available in ECC that will check inventory across plants.
the stocks at other plants are not consider during NET requirement calculation.
Yes. This is normal.
In turn it creates the planned independent requirement directly.
MRP does not create Planned independent requirements.
In short, you are doing nothing wrong. This is the way that it works. If this is unacceptable, then you will need to create a customized solution with Enhancements or BADIs.

Classic profit centers reporting full b/s below company code level

Dear Experts,
we are using classic profit center. How to get Profit center wise balance sheet below company code level.
Facing issues for balance sheet GL accounts as at 3KEH one profit center i can choose...my requirement is to get 2 balance sheets for two profit centers.
any suggestions ?
Regards,
Sekhar

Hello Sekhar,
With Classic profit center accounting correct balance sheet cannot be ensured at Profit center level.
This is due to following reasons
1. Vendor/ Customer line items -
No assignment of Vendor/Customer recon accounts to Profit center in 3KEH.
But in period end you have to execute F.5D and 1KEK to transfer this values to Profit center accounting based on the offsetting line items.
This also might create problems if you don't clear the open items on period end as your Sales/Purchase will go to one Profit center and Payment will go to other (defaulted for Bank/Cash). Cleared items are not transferred
Also, Transaction between Vendor and Customer will lead to some values posting in Dummy profit center.
2. Asset line items
Profit center will be determined by Asset master
3. Tax accounts
Mostly it has to go with Default Profit center. SAP has given option for re-determination of Tax line items profit center based on off-setting line items during period end (Tax account should be assigned to Dummy profit center in 3KEH). But this will work only for Sales/Purchase transaction, as payment will go to default profit center used for Cash/Bank. Again it might lead to confusion.
4. Material accounts
Profit center assigned in Material master is used.
5. Other Balance sheet accounts
These accounts like Bank, Cash, loan etc has to be assigned to default Profit centers using 3KEH. Else, user has to enter the correct Profit center during entry. If missed out, it will go to default profit center. Remember, balance sheet accounts not included in 3KEH (except for Vendor/Customer) will not be transferred to Profit center accounting itself.
Hope it helps..
Thanks & Regards,
