Automatic creation of a Material Ledger document

Hi,
I need to automatically create a Material Ledger document with reference to a material and split valuation code, there are BAPI or Function that may I use?
Thanks
Gianmario Belotti

Hi,
First of all you should maintain transaction OMS2 to allow quantity & value update for the material type & valuation area
otherwise it is not relevant for material ledger.
Regarding how you have to activate the split valuation for a material, please keep in mind the following:
if no valuation category has been assigned to a material (MBEW-BWTTY is blank), and you wish to assign multiple valuation
categories (split valuation) to this material, then the material must not have linked documents and the stock must be zero for both
the current and previous periods.
If you make an attempt to assign a valuation category for this material, error message M3194 will be raised.
Please check the attached note 30656 concerning limitations associated with changing the valuation category.
Please also check note 155874, which outlines what must be performed in order to change the valuation category.
regards
Waman

Hi
First configure Release Statergy such that All PR's generated from MRP should be converted into PO with out Release Procedure and Other manually generated PRs should be converted in to PO after Release Procedure only......( For that you have to create Doc.type as a one charecter....Table: CEBAN...Field: BSART and MRP generated PRs should have one document type and Other manually created PRs should have diff. Doc. type)
Then follow the below steps..
1)In Material Master,Purchasing view....you maintain Purchasing Group and Check Auto PO Check Box.
2)In Vendor Master,Purchasing Date view Maintain Purchasing group and check Auto PO Check Box..
3)Maintain Proper PIR with Valid Conditions
Then after creation of PR from MRP...assign source for the PRs IN ME57..
If you configure release Statergy such that PRs generated thro MRP need not under go Release procedure ....then go to T.Code: ME59 and convert all PRs in to PO...
In this way without having any user exit you can solve your problem...We are doing in this way only..

Material ledger Tables

Dear All,
Issue: Not able to post Good receipt due to the error that material does not exit.
Background: we have activated user exit in material master for material type ZROH and assigned a internal number range to it in MMNR. this user exit will append the material group mentioned during master creation in the internal code generated by system.
example PPMM is the material group and the internal code generated by system is 122222 so when we save the material in mm01 our material code is PPMM122222.
we are trying to do GR by 501 and now the material ledger function module is truncating PPMM from the material code and its trying to post document with 1222222. which then goes into error that material does not exist.
Analysis: I have checked in the MARA/MARC the material code is PPMM1222222. but i guess in some table whcih is relevant for material ledger system has stored internal material number 1222222.
So I am looking for tables or solution for this isssue

Hi Expert,
Please refer the SAP Standard Material Ledger Tables:
The following tables contain data that can appear in the material ledger documents:
Table - MLHD - Material Ledger Document: Header
Table - MLIT- Material Ledger Document: Items
Table - MLPP - Material Ledger Document: Posting Periods and Quantities
Table - MLPPF - Material Ledger Document: Field Groups (Posting Periods and Quantities)
Table - MLCR - Material Ledger Document: Currencies and Values
Table - MLCRF - Material Ledger Document: Field Groups (Currencies and Values)
Table - MLCRP - Material Ledger Document: Price Change (Currencies, Prices)
Table - MLMST - Material Ledger Document: Costing Run Header Data

Material Ledger New Status - 05 "Period Opened Without Stock"

Hello,
We are thinking of implementing note 1120562 into our system and feel pretty comfortable so far, but I had one question that is stopping me. If I implement this note and it applies the new status so that materials are not selected to run in the material ledger close, will that be an issue when closing next month? I know that previously I was not allowed to close for a material if it had not been closed in the prior month. Has anyone applied this status and had issues?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Rebe,
To see the transactions and documents for ML category in t-code CKM3 report i.e., Beginning Inventory--> choose "Expand sub tree" and choose the corresponding line. I guess these , period status quantities and values entered entries are for New period opening. Whenever the New period is opened, for New materials also, Material Ledger document will be created and updated in Material Price analysis report. The Material ledger records the following categories of data and the system generates ML documents automatically :
01.     Beginning Inventory
02.     Price change
03.     Receipts
04.     Other receipts/consumption
05.     Cumulative inventory
06.     Consumption
Also whenever Price determination for Material Master is changed from 02 to 03 or vice-versa, ML documents will be generated automatically and updates in Material Price Analysis report-t-code-CKM3.

Period Status in material ledger

Dear Gurus,
I am confused by period status in material ledger. Now, when displaying material price analysis with CKM3, period status is quantities and values entered. However, I checked MB51 and invoice. There is no material posting in the period. Even for some new material without any postings, the status is quantities and values entered as well. I wonder how the system sets the status. Could you please give a hint on it?
Thank and Regards,
Rebe Z.

Material Ledger Active - K088 Settlement doesnt use Actual Cost Comp Split

Production Order quantities are all scrap (in confirmation) thus order balance contains Consumed Materials and Activity Allocation
When KO88 Settlement is run, the system uses Standard Cost Component Split to allocate the residual to Cost Components instead of the Actual Cost Component Split
When we run the flow trace, the message says:
"Splitting according to output material S-Price CCS"
Expectation was that costs would flow according to Actual Cost Component split.
There is note 756167 - This note activates the update of the actual cost component split information in the material ledger document when you perform the order settlements.
However current release is 604, so its expected that this is already applied.
Any help or insight on how to settle using Actual Cost Component split is appreciated.

The second option you mentioned of using separate value field for transferring the standard cost component split from the actual cost component split is the way SAP designed this integration between CO-PA and the Material Ledger. But 40 value field for cost component split is excessive. CO-PA allows up to 120 value fields maximum, so I agree it does not seem prudent to use 80 of them for this purpose.
I suggest you reexamine the level of detail you think may be needed in CO-PA and try to use CO-PC reports at the cost element level to report on more detail. Keep the CO-PA view more aggregated and you can stick with the standard solution for comparing standard to actual costs in CO-PA.

Business Area - Material Ledger

Hello,
Analyzing some material ledger documents (type ML) on a determined g/l account (fbl3n), I noticed some postings for only one specific material that Business Area code did not appear.
I guess it´s something related to that material. Where should I investigate ?

Hello,
I have found the root cause of this issue. The material has division 30 on master data(MARA-SPART) .
In SPRO I went to Enterprise Structure -> Assignment -> Sales and Dist. -> Business Area Account Assignment -> Assign Business Area to Plant And Division and I could notice that this division is not configured to show business area.

you can omit and work with the default settings
> Assign Material Update Structure to a Valuation Area
not necessary

What are the Advantages & Disadvantages in Material Ledger?

Hi Experts,
What are the Advantages & Disadvantages in Material Ledger?
Is it there any problem if you run CKMLCP next period 10th day?
What is the criticality in ML as well as why all are very fearful to implement it?
Thanks
Bhagirath

Hi,
One cannot speak of 'disadvantage' in this case... If you activate material ledger, you acieve different valuation logic of the prices in the procurement process. Please, consult composite note 532932 for further info. The intimidation of activation is a result of numerous 'bugs' in previous SAP releases regarding the material ledger documents. Most of these 'bugs' are fixed, but the fear remains

As this LKW key is for Material Ledger documents postings for Accrual and defferals account. As per my knowledge system post the FI document to relevant GL assigned , when we do the ML Costing Run (using TCODE : CKMLCP).At the time of run in the step posting if we don't select the revaluate material check box, system is asking for assignment of GL to LKW key.But the thing is i don't know which entries it'll posted in this case and why it is required to post
But, could anybody please explain the purpose the key LKW.
It'll be great helpful for me

Dear Kalappa,
If I want to revalue the stocks, Material Ledger ask me to configurate OBYC operations PRD, PRV and PRY , what kind of accounts I must define here?.
I think if I not going to revalue stocks the consumption is going to be in the actual month you said I must use revenue accounts, it is correct? can you explain more about it? In that case ML is going to make accounting complementary? because all the movements in the beginning was costed by standard cost but now I calculate the Periodic Internal Price, ML is going to make accounting between the difference Periodic Internal price and Standard price for example for movements like consumption, cost of good sales...?
I would appreciate your help as soons as possible.

Material ledger accounts range

Dear Experts
can you please explain ,
1]What is " Material ledger accounts Range " were it is created ,
2] what is its use
3]How to run material ledger
regards
bhaskar

Hi,
Material Ledger is created to follow the transaction posted through various movement types and check for any price changes.
The configuration for Material Ledger is done in Controlling > Product Cost Controlling > Actual Costing/material ledger.
The number ranges for material documents are based on the nature of transactions and transaction groups.
You have to create the Material ledger documents under document type ML and for passing on the entries to accounting
use document type 47. Material price valuation is a periodic activity done through CKMF and CKMH. You have the
analysis of the material prices through CKM3.

Enter only numeric vallues in this field.
psl do favour to me.
Thanks
Reddy.P.S

Hi ,
Have you completed the following configuration :
1     Assign Currency Types to Material Ledger Type [OMX2]
2     Assign Material Ledger Types to Valuation Area [OMX3]
3     Maintain Number Ranges for Material Ledger Documents [OMX4]
4     Configure Dynamic Price Changes [OMX5]
5     Reasons for Price Changes
6     Define Movement Type Groups of Material Ledger [OMX7]
7     Assign Movement Type Groups of Material Ledger [OMX0]
8     Define Material Update Structure [OMX9]
9     Assign Material Update Structure to a Valuation Area [OMX8]
10     Activate Actual Cost Component Split [SPRO]
11     Activate Distribution of Usage Variances [SPRO]
For OMX1 .. what price determination you are using . Are you using "3" .
If you already have some other plant active , compare the configurations using transaction CKM9.
Once all configurations are completed , then only use CKMSTART.
