Change Material Type to Non-Valuated

Hi All,
I wonder if someone can assist in an issue we are encountering. Our client is looking to change the material type for one material from a Valuated to a Non-Valuated material.
We are aware that there must be no stock of the material on the system, that the material must not exist on any PO's and a similiar situation with reservations.
When we run MMAM for the material we are receiving the message  "Costings for the material must first be archived".
Does anyone have any suggestions on how we can overcome this.
Thanks in advance,
Micheal

Thanks for the response.
I don't believe the Standard cost estimate has been released for this material.
Could you please tell me why this is necessary and the steps to take to complete the release.
Thanks in advance,
Micheal

  • Material type--for non valuated

    UNBW (Non-valuated) material type will not work for my project since it does not have sales views.  I want any one to suggest<b> standard material type</b> that can be used for non-valuated that has sales view, purchasing, and classification.
    my client don't want to add user departments(sales screens) for UNBW or copy it and make a customized one and add sales views to that.
    which standard material type would have much similarities as that of a nonvaluated material type.
    Please try to answer correctly..feel free to question if not understood.

    Hi,I think your clint have known the UNBW (Non-valuated) material type is NO value in the stock,is also NO accounting view(and also NO classification).
    What's your clint want to do for the standard material type that can be used for non-valuated?
    I try the standard material type as below:
    (1)if for the value and quantity NOT into stock in purchasing;
    In PO:make a account assignment category so that assign a cost center for the consumpion
    (2)if for the value NOT into stock in purchasing,but the quantity into stock;
    In PO:deselect the Invoice receipt indicator(If the indicator is not set, the goods are to be delivered free of charge)
    (3)if for the value NOT into stock in transporting,but the quantity into stock;
    In MIGO select 511 as free-of-charge
    (4)if for sale as free-of-charge;
    there are two choice,one way for a sale order,or another way for a goods issues

  • Change material type and valuation class

    hi
    my client want to change material type and valuation class in their production system. but the material no. and some transaction had done by this material. anything i need to concern? especially, in FI part. thank

    Hey Changing of Material Type is one step
    Changing of valuation class is other
    and underneth that changing of account is another attached to the valuation class.
    The basic requiremnt will be that client want to change the G/L code attached to the valuation class.
    If you have already done some transaction it is not fininacialy right to move valuation classes.
    Tell in detail what is the requiremnt.

  • Change material type

    When i am changing the material type i am getting this msg. In Po items were deleted.
    Change Material Type
    The material type cannot be changed.
    The reasons for this are:
    Valuated stock exists (see valuation areas below).
    However, account determination for the two material types differs.
    (different account category reference or no valuation data defined)
        Valuation area
        1030
    No open purchase order are there.

  • How to avoid changing material type in MIGO & J1IEX ?

    Dear all,
    How to avoid changing material type in MIGO & J1IEX ?

    hii
    i think u asking about the , if the material is excisable , then it will ask for material type , not all material type , onle like asset , raw material, consumable, non cenvatable , finished oods and tools.
    There i hope its standard SAP system setting , because some time the if do consumable procurement with excisable material .
    While doing Gr or J1IEX system will consider that material is capital item, that we cancahge to raw material and we can utilize the cenvate credit in the same year .
    so it cannot be hide or making gray mode is difficult in practical.
    So revert any clarification
    Thanks

  • Mov type for non valuated stocks

    hi friends
    please give movement type for non valuated stock items((material type)
    points will be assigned
    thanks in advance

    Movement Type defines a material movement. For what type of Material Movement do you require the movement type?
    Also, is there a reason why this should be different from that for a valuated material?
    Cheers.

  • Changing Material Types

    Gurus,
    I have a situation. We have multiple Plants under different CC with common materials being traded between different Plants. A raw matl for one could be the FG for another and such similar cases. Now when I am trying to onboard a new Plant in my landscape, I notice that certain materials are FERT for me, but they have already been defined as ROH in the system.
    We have agreed to change the Matl types to a new common one. Please tell me the steps and precautions to be taken while doing this activity.
    Regards
    Keshav

    Use t.code: MMAM - for changing the material type but you change the material type in MMAM transaction automatically also the valuation class will be changed in material master. The system will take the changed material type valuation class which was created for that material type.
    If valuation class changed, U have to take care of..
    1) Valuated stocks in the current period or in the previous period.
    2) Open purchase orders may be there.
    3) Production orders which a goods movement has already taken place.
    For this first you have to do the following:
    If valuated stocks already exist, you can change the valuation class only:
    1) Post the stocks of the material to an interim account.
    2) Change the valuation class in the material master record.
    3) Post the stocks of the material back to their original account.
    If open purchase orders already exist, you can only change the valuation class if you first flag the corresponding purchase order items for deletion.
    If production orders exist for which a goods movement has already taken place, you can only change the valuation class if you first set the status of the production orders to deleted

    Hi Rohit,
    You can change the material type in MMAM trxn code if the material dosenot conatain any open purchase requisitions, open reservations & open purchase orders. Also material stock should be zero.
    Remember the new material type should have same attributes same as old material type.

  • Change material Type - 'MMA'

    I am trying to Change Material Type using T-code - 'MMAM'.But Message is coming PO already exist.
    Problem is tat we have already created GIN for the PO & Reversed the GIN also,but still PO is not getting release to Change any data.It is giving error,that GIN already exist.
    I want to Change the MAterial Type.How can i do that.??
    Viru.

    Please note that both the new material type and the old material type must have the      
    same characteristics eg. quantity based material management is one of   
    the characteristic. The R/3 Online Help provides a very good explanation 
    on all the pre-requisites before you can change a material type.        
    (Logistics Gen>Logistics Basic Data > LO Managing Material Master Data >
    Material Master Record > Material Type > Change Material Type)          
    Please check if you have set the deletion flag for any PO's as              
    these need to be physically deleted for MMAM to work. You will also         
    need to check if there are ANY open items for this order. The purchase      
    orders need to be ARCHIVED. You should complete the invoice receipt for     
    this position BEFORE you set the deletion flag in the purchase order.       
    Also, if the material is already in stock, or if reservations or           
    purchasing documents exist for it, the following conditions must also be   
    met:                                                                       
    >The stock values of the material of the new material type must be         
    updated in the same G/L account as the stock values of the material of    
    the old material type.                                                                               
    >Quantities and values of the material of the new material type must be    
    updated in exactly the same way in all plants as quantities and values    
    of the material of the old material type.                                                                               
    >If there is a transfer requirement for the material and if quantities     
    of the material exist, the new material type must also allow the          
    material data to be maintained from the Warehouse Management view.

  • How to change Material Type

    Hi All,
    I have created new material type as ZINS ( Insurance spares ).
    Now,I have to change ZSPR ( Spares) material to ZINS material type.
    In system there are no liabilities for this material.But ,I am getting following error while executing T-code :-MMAM.
    Error :- " Change Material Type
    The material type cannot be changed.
    The reasons for this are:
    QM inspection data exists for the material. In this inspection data,
    it is defined that a plan is required for the inspection. However,
    inspection plans are not allowed for the new material type.
        Plant
        1100
        6001
    Task lists already exist for specific TL types for the material
    The new material type does not allow assignment of task lists for these TL types "
    I want to know is there any settings required while creating new material type in quality module,as this error seems to be related to Quality module.
    Please help,as this is very much urgent.
    Thanks.
    With Best Regards,
    Rajesh

    In my question ,I mentioned that,
    In system there are no liabilities for this material.I want to know is there any settings required while creating new material type in quality module,as this error seems to be related to Quality module.
    I got answer,while creating new material type it was not assigned to in quality module.I need to assign the task list type ‘Q’ to the new Material type.
    I have done configuartion as follows, ( Path: SPRO -> Quality management -> Quality Planning -> Inspection planning -> Assign Task List Type to Material types).
    Once again thanks for your help and support.

  • I want to change Material Type for mass upload.(MMAM)

    This may be little tough for 10000 sales orders.
    1. You have to remove the output record for the irrelevant output record using tcode VV12 for the relevant document type. So now for the document type, the old output wont be triggered.
    2. Now, create output records for hte correct output type in VV11 tcode(for the output type BA03) for the document type. Now this output will be triggered for all the document types you are creating from now onwards.
    3. To trigger the output type BA03, in all the old orders, you just have to open these sales orders in change mode (VA02), and just save it. When u open it the output type BA03 will be automatically triggered as the master data is maintained in VV11. But because just opening all the 10000 sales orders in VA02 one by one be a mechanical task, you have to think of some tool for this.
    May be a CATT procedure can do the trick. Else, you can just create a small program, where you can upload these sales orders and the program will just open these orders in change mode and just saves it (without making any changes). Then the output will be retriggered.
    Here again, if you are printing the output directly, it is advisable to trigger the output in batch mode(Date/Time field is 1 in VV11), and then you can again trigger the printing again using the program RSNAST00 after office hours for these 10k orders.
    I hope I answered ur query.
    Pls lemme know if you need some more info. (You can reward me too...)

  • Repair error in material documents (from non-valuated to valuated)

    Hi Gurus,
    We have a urgent problem, for one mistake in material document type, the valuated flag was change to not valuated, it was create 500 material document without financial document. Now, the mistake was corrected and now generates again material documents with financial documents for this material type. My questios is: is there any way (programs develop for you, so on) to re-generate the financial document for material document non-valuated?
    Really, I don´t think so but.....
    Thanks in advance & regards

    No you can not do that except you reverse all the non valuated material document and the recevie again then only you can generate the FI documents

  • Change material type - any warnings?

    A material with very little history exists in the system as a semi-finished item with 1220 valuation class.  One purchase order exists that is due in, in two days.  No inventory exists.  The problem is that the system is not configured to post goods against 1220 valuation class items.  So it needs converted to a finished good since the plan is to sell it after it is received from a vendor.
    No open orders or other movements exist in the system.  Just one new open po that was created today, and could easily be deleted. 
    So, delete the po then change the material type using MMAM. 
    Are there any recommendations/warnings someone can offer before this is done?

    Hi,
    Pre requisites for changing a material types:
    1. If you use a material ledger the material ledger must be settled in it.
    2.If the old material type did not require you to specify a price control for the material the new material type must not be configured such that it allows only
    standard price as price control.
    3.If the material is already in stock or reservations exists or purchase orders exists the following conditions must exist.
          1. The stock values of the new material types must be updated in the same
              G/L Account as the stock values of the old material types
         2.  Quantities and values of the new material types must be updated exactly as were by the old material types.

  • Changing material type for material with history

    We needed to change the material type for an existing item with purchasing, inventory and sales history from HAWA to UNBW.  We are trying to PGI the first receipt since the change, and are receiving an Account Determination error .
    When I look at the material master set-up, I still see records in the MBEW table.  UNBW items that are set-up that way from scratch do not have any records in this table.  Is this what is driving my error?
    I'm guessing that if it is not, there will be some discrepancy between the material, vendor, and capital asset order.
    Any insight is appreciated.

    even UNBW can have accounting views.
    The problem is probably that you just changed the material type and did not change the valuation class in the accounting view accordingly. remove it, and try again.
