Alternative Valuation Run

Hi Sap Experts,
In one of our companies, we have decided to use alternative valuation run (CKMLCPAVR) in order to handle the differences between IFRS requirements and Local Requirements. I have two questions:
1-) What is the customization steps of alternative valuation run in order?
2-) Do we need to create a new costing variant for alternative valuatiıon run?
Thanks In advance,
Burak

Dear all,
We have made a test to monitor the postings of AVR. THe following steps has been launched in order.
1-     All actual data for the period has been copied to the plan version *** via t-code KP98.
2-     The report S_ALR_87013611 u2013 Cost centers:Actual/Plan/Variance has been executed in order to compare the actual version (0) with plan version (***). It is seen as equal.
3-     IFRS-Local delta adjusments made on local ledger is from FI reports and these posting has been made in version *** by transaction KP06. For testing, only depreciation cost element in one of the production cost center increased by 10,000 EUR.
4-     Plan splitting (KSS4) has been executed.
5-     Plan price calculation has been executed.
6-     KSBT report for plan prices in each cost center/activity type has been checked. The only difference between the version 0 and *** is in the cost center where manual data updated in step 3.
7-     The report S_ALR_87013611 u2013 Cost centers:Actual/Plan/Variance has been executed and checked again in order to see the balance for all production cost center is 0 and splitting-plan price calculation is succesful. It has been seen that the balance of the cost center where manual data updated in step 3 is 0 and difference in depreciaton cot element has flowed to depreciation activity succesfully. In short, there is a 10,000 EUR balance between version 0 and *** in depreciation cost element (secondary).
8-     Alternavite Valuation Run (CKMLCPAVR) has been launched. Settings in AVR is stated below:
Posting run:selected
Revaluate consumption:selected
Relevant for costing:selected
Credit cost center: Inactive for selection (I will mention this below)
Acc. modification:blank
Accounting principle: ZTR (Local posting to local ledger) which is assigned to Local ledger in New ledger from customizing.
Provisional price:Price for the last cumulation period
Price:Plan price for the period
Price for Cumulation in Legal Valuation:***
Valuation alternative:Blank
Exch.rate diff:Cumulate exchange rate differences normally
After AVR closing document posted, we have realized that there is no posting related to data entered in KP06. The only posting is 0,01 EUR in one cost element where rounding difference occured during copying actual to plan.
What can be the reason why was planning data not taken into account during delta posting? It seems that AVR doesnu2019t take updates in planning data change in KP06 in version ***.
Now, in the customizing step of activate actual costing step, u201CUpdate of Activity Consumption in the Quantity Structureu201D is 0 and u201CControl of Cost Center Creditu201D is blank as it seems below. Although, I changed these selections to 2 and 1, the u201Ccredit cost centeru201D box hasnu2019t turned into active.
Can the problem of planning data be related to u201Ccredit cost centeru201D selection in settings tab in AVR? If it is, how can it be activated?

Alternative valuation run methodolgy for material ledger

Hi Experts
Does someone can explain me how to customize alternative valuation run in SAP and how to use it.
Do I have to run it from CKMLCPAVR or from CKMLCP.
Can I run for same plant and same period the AVR in CKMLCP ?
On the screen of CKMLCPAVR I don't have nothing in Creat Cost estimate ??
THanks and regards
Djamel

Hi Djamel ,
1. Purpose of Material Ledger Run (CKMLCP) is to calculate actual cost of the product .. and you can update material master with actual cost ( optional step).SAP uses weighted average methord when calculating actual cost.
2. Purpose of Alternate Valuation Run (CKMLCPAVR) is to have a actual cost for analysis purpose . You can use weighted average methord or use can use FIFO , LIFO valuation methord also . Ifd you want to use LIFO/FIFO methord .. you have to configure LIFO/FIFO customization and use the standard BADI give in the SPRO menu .
3. CKMLCP and CKMLCPAVR have no depencies and you can run that for same plant .. or you can run anyone of them . Both the purposes are different .
4. On the screen of CKMLCPAVR I don't have nothing in Creat Cost estimate ?? Implement SAP Note 659447 - No process steps in AVR cockpit ... it will solve your issues .
5. For CKMLCP.. OBYC settings are as per transaction key "BSX" ... OSS Note : 908737 - Post Closing in Material Ledger
6. CKMLCPAVR -- OBYC settings are as per transaction key "BSD " .. as if required manual entry has to be done to have actual costs . So , inventory account must have manual updation tick in GL master
7. To sum -up... OBYC settings you have to do for CKMLCPAVR and any valuation approach you use other than default SAP weighted avergae methord ( LIFO or FIFO)
Hope it clarifies ... Do revert bac for any further clarifications..

Revaluation material using Alternative valuation run

Hi friends!!
My question is the next:
I´m want to use the Aternative valuation Run to do a Revaluation of consumption of several periods.
The issue is that I can´t find the option "Revaluate material" in the Costing cockpit of the Alternative valuation Run.
Do you must run the "Costing Cockpit: Actual Costing·" for each month to do the revalutate of ending inventory with the PIP??.
I would like to revaluate the ending stock with the Periodic internal price using the Alternative valuation run if this colud be possible..
Thanks!!!
Best Regards!!
Manuel

Hi Manuel,
It depends how you want to use the AVR.
The 'Determine Delta Postings' and 'Post Closing' steps are optional
steps. They are only displayed if the AVR run is defined as a 'posting run' in the settings of the AVR.
SAP recommends to run the post closing with the periodic actual costing and post a delta with the AVR functionality.
This delta is AVR actual price - periodic actual price.
The system post the revaluation amount to the material BSX account and the delta posting calculated by the AVR to
the BSD account.
A different option would be to carry out a total post closing only via AVR according to note   633010. In this case,
the system doesn't revaluate materials with the new actual price but post the total revaluation to a LKW account.
In this case the periodic costing run can never be used. For this new posting logic you should use the parameter
AVR_POSTING_NO_DELTA in the CKMLMVADMIN table.
I hope the explanation helps to clarify the problem.
Kind regards,
MLM
p.s. If you are satisfied with the help please pariticipate in our forum giving points!

Alternative Valuation Run x IFRS depreciation

Hi All
Is there anyone here who has implemented this kind of solution by running the CKMLCPAVR (alternative valuation run) to find a new actual price by using a different depreciation method (IFRS) ?
This is one of the requirements for south american companies to report for IFRS.
Regards

Hi Ramos,
yes, I know of customers who use the AVR for this purpose. Currently there is an enhancement in the deveopment queue to better align AVR with newGL. Aim is to direct AVR postings to the ledger of choice.
I could connect you with a colleague if you need more info on that.
best regards,

Alternative valuation run AVR and "Following run"

Hello,
We are using the Material Ledger (Alternative valuation run AVR) with multiple periods, in the "settings " tab we flagged
- "Posting run"
- "Revaluate Consumption"
- "Relevant for costing".
We would like to use the new costing run as "Following run" (ie we created the costing run for the period 01-2011 (January 2011) starting from the costing run of the period 12-2010 (December 2010); the costing run covers the period 01-2011).
A month later, we would like to create a cumulated costing run for the two periods 01 and 02 (January and February 2011); the correct way is to create the costing run for the period 02-2011 (February 2011) starting from the costing run of the period 12-2010 (December 2010)?
In this way we have
- Initial period '01-2011 '
- Period '02-2011 '. (following run of 12-2010 (December 2010).
A month later again, we would like to create a cumulated costing run for the three periods 01 to 03 (January , February and March 2011); the correct way is to create the costing run for the period 03-2011 (March 2011) starting from the costing run of the period 12-2010 (December 2010)?
In this way we have
- Initial period '01-2011 '
- Period '03-2011 '. (following run of 12-2010 (December 2010).
Is it this the correct way to use the "Following run" functionality?
Are There other ways to use the "Following run"?
Could you please indicates u201Chow tou201D documentation or other documentation?
Thanks in advance.
Mario

Hi Gianmario,
I need to run Alternative valuation starting from the alternative of the last period.
For example: we want to create AVR for the period 01-2015 starting from the alternative of 12-2014 (because my user want to take value and inventory from the last alternative that he run in December)
So :
In January
1)      initial period 01-2015
2)      Period 01-2015
3)      Following run 12-2014
In February
1)      initial period 01-2015
2)      Period 02-2015
3)      Following run 12-2014
And so on…
I need to understand if this is the correct method to use “following run” because I don’t found material or documentation on this aspect, but I found only your post.
So have you found material/Documentation of this aspect? Or if you use “following run” in this mode have you found problems?
Thanks in advance
Claudia

Actual Costing: Alternative valuation : "Relevant for Costing" indicator

Hi:
We are using alternative valuation in our Actual Costing
We would like to know the use of the "Relevant for Costing" indicator. (XPCP field).
Documentation said: "If you set this indicator, the results of the alternative valuation run can be used in the standard cost estimate for the material." But there is not a clear explanation in the online doc or other info sites.
How does it works? What is the exact meaning of "can be used in Standard cost estimate"?
How can we get these values from Product Cost planning?
Best Regards:
Manuel

Manuel,
If that Field is checked, it should update the Planned Price in the Costing 2 Tab of the Material Master Record. I did not try this though.

Reversal of foreign currencey valuation run with bal sheet prep val option

We have created foreign currency valuation run for the month ended 30th April 2008 on 30th April 2008 with reversal postings. Subsequently another run was created on the same date for the same month erroneously with u201Cbalance sheet preparation valuationu201D option for which system has not created reversal document. Now we want to reverse these documents without manual reversal to avoid adjustment entries during clearing. Please advice me.

Hi
You could reset the valuation difference by using the following method:
1.T-cd:OB59->selecting the valuation method ->in valuation precedure area, selecting "reset" radio button->save it.
2. T-cd:F.05 ->using the same parameters that you ticked the balance sheet preparation valuation" box when you ran F.05 last time.
3.After running F.05->BSEG-BDIFF will be reset to zero in valuated docs.
4. change customization Reset -> your old method.
5. once again run foreign currency valution
Best Regards,

Display foreign currency valuation run

Hi,
We had executed the foreign currency valuation run (Tcode FAGL_FC_VAL) for the previous month. How can i see the display of the log/ report for that run again?
I want to see if some GL were picked up for valuation or not
Thanks

Hi,
Go to GL accounts which might have assign in the configuration like 'Foreign Currency Fluctuation, Realised Gain/Loss' through FBL3N. There you will come to know if you double click the single line item.
Try once and assign points if useful.

Any alternative to run Oracle Report without using Oracle Rpt Server?

Hi,
Is there other alternative to run Oracle Reports if I don't have oracle report server?
Reason being I'm thinking of using Oracle10g iAS Standard Edition but this edition does not come with Oracle Report Server.
Is there anyway to run it? I need the report to be run through web browser and display as PDF.
Please advise.
Thank you.

is there a library (pll) attached to the report which has not been compiled on the application-server ?

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

Alternative valuation for projects

Hello everyone,
We have a multiple ledger set-up, where we copy actual values to a plan version, run distributions and allocations, calculate plan prices for activities and finally run the AVR cockpit. In this way, COGS and stock values for non-project production are determined for this parallel ledger.
However, in addition to discrete manufacturing, we also have ETO projects. These projects collect material and activity costs and WIP is calculated and posted for them. I presume the AVR cockpit takes care of material costs, but how does one go about applying activity plan prices to projects and calculating and posting WIP for them in the parallel ledger?
Thanks.

Hi Djamel ,
1. Purpose of Material Ledger Run (CKMLCP) is to calculate actual cost of the product .. and you can update material master with actual cost ( optional step).SAP uses weighted average methord when calculating actual cost.

An error TPM_TLV1017 during valuation run (TPM1)

Hi, colleagues
I came across a problem, hope for your advice.I'm going to describe the case using a simple example:
We have got a bond, which should be repaid on 28.03.2011.
By 31.03.2011 we still didn't get the repayment, so repayment flow is still planned.
When we run valuation of the position on 31.03.2011 and get an error message TPM_TLV1017 "Scheduled bus. trans. with posting date 28.03.2011 before key date ".
Repayment flow should be post when it is actually received, so we can't post it by 31.03.2011 and we don't know when we actually get it, but at the same time we need valuation run to be done.
Can we somehow show the system that the flow will be posted after key date valuaton? Or perhaps there are other ways to solve the problem?
Hope for your help.
Konstantin.

Hi,
You can try to change the due date for the repayment condition in the security master but retaining the calculation date which will generate the flow on a different date.
There is also another functionality for this purpose but this has to be configured where in the repayment flow will generate another flow during debit position. Now on the repayment date, it will post the repayment flow but generate another flow which will be in planned status. On receipt of the actual payment in bank, the other flow generated will be fixed. But I doubt whether this method will allow you to do valuation. I have not checked it, but guess it should allow.
You have to do the setting in Transaction Manager -- Securities -- Position Management -- Update Types -- Assign Update types for the functions of security account management. In this you have to assign the update types for debit position generation. For the incoming update type which is the repayment update type, you have to assign an update type for generation.

Ravi

Reg: Alternative for running RSEOUT00

Hi all,
I have created an outbound program and when I run it i get the status message 30. Then I have to go to report 'RSEOUT00' and give the required parameters and run that report. And finally I am getting the status message as '03'.
Is there any other alternative or any configuration steps to avoid this explicit running of report. If yes please tell me the steps to follow to achieve my desired result.
Thanks & Regards,
Moin.

In the partner profile, there is an option to process the IDOC immediately.
