Hi,
It seems due to small differences between debit and credit side you are not able to post the document price differences). Check all the data to create an entry first and Check the data format. Can you check in OBYC is there a way to have a transaction DIF (Materials management small differences) post to different GL accounts based on valaution class (plant)?

Hi,
Some of the companies are having a practice of paying payables with the rounding off rules. This rounding of in India could be from Rs.0.01 to Rs.10.00. For examble, there is a payable amount of Rs.125125.25 this can be rounded off to Rs.125125.00 or Rs.125130.00 while making payment. The balance amount should hit the rounding off difference account.
The same things is applicable for receivables also.
Over/under payment GL can be configured by using T Code OBXL
There is an another use, for details see the below link,
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/01/a9b9a6455711d182b40000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
There may be some more reason where you need to do this configuration,
Disc. difference
Incorrect cash discount rate
To be paid without deduction
Credit memo without backdated cash disct
Cash discount period exceeded
Reduction without doc.number allocation
Incomplete payment advice note
Payment amount is different
Debit reduced not paid
Debit reduced not paid
Reduced twice
Paid not reduced
Damaged goods - disputed
Goods damaged during transport
Quant.delivered not same as order quant.
Freight charges not paid
Miscellaneous deductions
Price variances - disputed
Partial payment
Returns
Residual item creation
Trade Promotion
Payment differences on debit side
Hope it clears your doubt.

Hi Roberto,
here is the message i see :
No cost estimate found for material item 00016 in itemization
Message no. CK 375
Diagnosis
The system could not find a cost estimate for material item 00016 in the itemization of material 1278.357.233 in plant 0800.
It is possible that the cost estimate for this material has been deleted.
Procedure
You can display the costs for this material referenced to cost component view 01.
The costs for material item 00016 correspond to the cost component view in the costing type in Customizing for Product Cost Controlling. If the costing type does not contain a cost component view, the system displays the costs for the cost components that are flagged as being relevant to stock valuation.
And DATA SOURCE WAS BUILT ON FUNCTION MODULE(Custom defined).

Hi All,
There exists FI configuration for Document summarization for Material Management .
My question is when running MB5B transaction how does it get trigerred and why this message does not appear for all materials in MB5B.
Actually ,I am getting warning message for one particular material only and not for all materials while running MB5B.
Message : "FI document summarization is active /The results may be incorrect"
Thanks In Advance
Payal Saxena

But ,I have not changed any settings,then how did it became inactive for this particular material .Is there any way to find out the reason.
I am unable to understand this.

General Settings for Material Management

Hi,
under Material Management in SPRO under General Settings for Materials Management
1. Set material block for goods movements Lock Exclusively and (ii) Late lock
2. Set Up Material Block for Invoice Verification
Set Up Material Block for Invoice Verification
(ii) Set Up Material Block for Invoice Verification
(iii) Set Up Material Block for Invoice Verification
Pls tell me which option i should select in which case?

Hi,
Each option have some time advantage on the other one, when the subject material is blocked for other users, preventing them from carrying out any IM postings.
For goods movement process, Exclusive block will hold the item code for longer time than Late block.
It is better to go with the stadard settings of 'Exclusive block' for Goods movement and 'blocked at first read' for invoice verification.

Issue of Materials Management staff entering double PO#, PR# for same Invoice

Hi,
Anyone had encountered the Materials Management Dept staff entering double PO numbers and PR numbers for the same invoice number?? The double PO and PR numbers are all different number but it causes double counting problem..
Anyone encounter it and come up with any settings to the SAP to warn the data entry staff on any existing PO/PR numbers that already exists for the invoices of the same number? Or there is any settings that can be done to stop the data entry from entering two different PO/PR numbers for the same invoice number???
Please kindly help. Thanks!!!
Regards,
Richard

Hello PKW
You are right about the default PO type for ME21N or ME21.
But there is some hope with EXIT_RV54POCR_006 (Function Module) via enhancement V54U0006. I am not sure if it helps for PO type or for other header data only.
Please go through the following OSS notes and those mentioned within:
506605 - Info: PO generation when transferring shipment costs
746691 - INFO: => LE-TRA-FC-SET => purchase order
Let me know if it helped you.

Turn on batch managed for materials

Hi Expert!
Is there anyway to turn on batch managed for material after it has been used for some times?
Please advise.
Thanks.

Hi,
You can use the Batch Management functionality, even after having some stock for a material without Batch classification. After activating Batch Management, when you enter goods movements for materials, then onwards you must enter the batch number in addition to the material number.
Before you can manage batches of a material in stock, you must first specify in the material master record that the material is to be managed in batches for the specified plant. To do this, you must set the batch management requirement indicator in the material master record (for example, in the Purchasing or Storage view).

Design the New process set up for Materials in one physical stock serving p

Hi Experts,
The requirement is one physical plant as two different logical plants in the system. The main issue is how to administrate or how to find the set up which allows one Physical warehouse in Hamburg which we have supplying two Logical warehouses in the system without having thru really physically separate the warehouses into two different ones. Materials physically will be only for one warehouse.
Most of the things are pointing in the direction that order Backlogs will not be converted into new organization. We have backlogs for the material requirements for purchase orders, sales orders whatever we have in the current setup; then there will have all are new orders from the certain dates taking in the new organization set up. These backlogs are very long at least three to four years.
We would like to find some way to have the all the material requirements ending up in one basket instead of two baskets. That still be able to deliver at least in system point of view from two different baskets.
We need to do analysis on one physical stock serving plant into two different system plants that could be done either by material master data or as i understood that could be from PS side.
can any one please tell me how we can maintian this setup in the system.
Please provide your valuable inputs.

Sorry, the creation of such an end-to-end solution is outside the scope of an online forum. Most consulting companies would send a multi-disciplinary team to perform this task, and would take several weeks to research your requirements, and come up with a prototype.

I will say this. If your goal is to have two plants, with two company codes, and you wish to only procure or produce in one of the plants, then generally I would recommend using Special Procurement via Stock Transport Order (in standard SAP, Special Procurement 40). This based on a very small knowledge of your requirements. I have already cited the Sap online help for special procurement.

How to Post Customer Return in Materials Management ?

Dear Experts,
I want to know the cycle of excisable customer return material.
How the Goods receipt will be posted with excise duties and further processing in materials management.
Also please mention the integration points with Sales and destribution.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
The returns order can be created with reference to an invoice to ensure traceability of the process. It may be worthwhile ensuring this is mandatory when creating the returns order type. It may also be worthwhile ensuring the returns order reason was entered on the sales document. Thus, it may be necessary to add this in an incompletion procedure. You may want to copy the pricing from the invoice back into the sales order.
Note: - There is no need to indicate a negative value in the copying control rules, as the system sees the document type as a return. It automatically posts the entries in the finance document as opposite entries on the ledger. By using the same pricing values, you ensure a reversal of the externally created invoice.
It is advisable to have a billing block assigned to the return order to prevent a credit for returns being created until an authorized person releases the billing block. Go to Sales, Sales documents, Sales document header, Define sales document type in the billing block field in the billing section.
Once the returns delivery is created, the material is receipted back into our plant. The material should use a goods movement back into stock that inspects the stock, such as blocked stock, before placing it back into available stock to be consumed by the next sales order that places a demand for the material in the plant.
Tip: - It is advisable to indicate a shipping condition that is specifically used for returns. Thus, all return deliveries or goods receipts can be done by a specific shipping point. This is useful when running the delivery due list. You can select only to process the returns deliveries, as well as offer better visibility of stock movements.
The standard item category used by returns is REN.
Process Flow: -
1. VA01 - Create Return Order (Order Type - RE) w.r.t. original Billing Document
2. VL01N - Create Delivery w.r.t. Return Order (Here do Picking and Post Goods Receipt i.e. PGR)
3. VF01 - Create Credit Memo w.r.t. Delivery Document
4. J1IEX - Capture Excise Invoice --> Without Purchase order and enter all details like; Material, Vendor, Quantity, Assessable Value, Excise Duties like; BED, ECS and SECess, etc... manually and Post.

I have provide an account assignemnt 0001 - 6051(valuation class) - 106051 (G/L Account) in Inventory posting (BSX), When I provide the same setting in Cost (price) differences (PRD), message "Account 106051 already used in transaction BSX" prompted.
How to solve this issue?
Many Thanks

If you got any doubts concern with your IF team , they can explain you much better how it will effected in balance sheets...........
Hope this may help you............

SAP MDM is master data management server. as in our SAP R/3 Customer Master, Vendor Master, Material Master, Etc. These Master Data we are maintained in conventional way means individual SAP R/3 and non-SAP itself.
However, these Master Data can store in single point source of truth and then distribute to all after consolidating the master record data. First, we will get the all Master Data (ex. Customer, Material, Etc) from Different sources (ex. SAP or non-SAP or DB) using the scenario
SAPR/3---> XI--> MDM (Outbound to SAP R/3 or Inbound to MDM)
Second,
Then we will do the all the necessary things in MDM.
Third, we will syndicate/ distribute the consolidated Master Data to all the Systems using this scenario
MDM-> XI-> SAPR/3 (Outbound to MDM or Inbound to SAP R/3)
what is acheived out here is data uniqueness acorss the system. this is one real world scenario
