Change of Costing Method

Good day all,
I hope somebody can help. We changed the costing method from Standard to FIFO. Everything went well, but some of the Items are still greyed out, although there are NO open documents and all quanatities are zero.
I also did the following, although I know it is not the reason:
1. It is not part of a BOM.
2. It is not part of a MRP Forecast or MRP Wizard.
Does anybody have any other suggestions?
Regards

Changing the costing method

Hello,
We are looking for approaches/feasibility in changing the costing method.
From FIFO to Average or Standard.

Hi,
What Nagamohan have suggested is the best solution. But take in mind the following steps need to completed for changing the costing method.
1) Create a new inventory organization with new costing method
2) Move the items & onhand quantity from old inventory org to the new inventory organization
3) Issue out the onhand quantity from old inventory organization
4) Migrate the bill of materials if any to new inventory organization.
5) Migrate the routings if any to new inventory organization
6) Take care of open Purchase Orders, Sales Orders and Jobs.
7) Modify the custom reports which is referring to the old inventory organization.
If transaction history is required that need to be migrated in addition to that.
Thanks,

Hello
As far as I have experienced by changing the enterprise admin password there will be no impact on the environment, not event on
Services.msc console. But resetting an account is a different story. If you change the user account, services which relies on the user will be updated automatically but by resetting the password you have to manually enter the password on each
service.
Also I am thinking about if you use remote desktop with saved credentials to connect to DC's as enterprise admin, you may experience account lockout problems. So wise move is to create another account as member of enterprise admins group and keep it safe
with a strong password and save it for a rainy day. In that case if the original enterprise admin locked out due to incorrect logons you have a gold key to overcome the situation.

Hi Son
Let me rephrase my previous question as i have asked it incorrectly.
Step 1. Make all quantities of the stock zero and also close all Open PO, SO etc
Step 2. change the inventory valuation method
Step 3. Enter new stock prices for the standard cost through stock revaluation. My question is can this be (step 3) done through DTW
Thank you

Changing the GL Cost Method in the Fiscal Policy

Hi all,
I would like to know what will be the effects if I change the GL Cost Method in the Fiscal Policy. My client wants to go from PPAC to Lot Costing. But I will also want to know what will be the effects if I go from an average cost method to the Standard cost method.
Thank you.

Hello
I am in R11 and implementing R11 , can someone help me with documentation?.
I have defined the lost cost method and assigned it to the GL Cost Method in the Fiscal Policy, when i run the cost update process with the alternate method for lot costing ( Pmac) a warning error displays indicating the Cost Method in the Fiscal Policy is not the same as the one indicated on the actual cost process ( since i have ingredients based on the actual cost method ant not lot controlled i have to run this process previously)
can someone help on this?, at this point im really confused
In advanced many thanks for your help

Is it possible to change the costing from moving average to standard??

hey all,
i wana know is it possible to change the costing from moving average to standard or vice-versa in the item master??
cheers

Hi Satish
Please look at the documentation from SAP for using this function. I just looked on my drive and can't find the document I used to have for this.
Just setting quantities to zero will not work as all open P/O, S/O, etc must also be closed before you can run the Inventory Valuation Method function. This is all detailed in the document.
I have done this successfully before for a client with over 4000 items, so I have been through the process. Please let me know if you need assistance.
Kind regards

Hi,
You might have missed a step out of them.
Anyway, you have another workaround to change the cost center using LSMW's batch input recording method.

Rollup Issue On Average Costing Method

Hi,
I want to understand correctly the meaning of the rollup on 'Average' costing method.
As I understand it, the rollup is meaningful on 'standard' costing method, when I change the costs for some/all items, and I wanted to update the cost of the items parents appropriately.
But in the 'average' costing, if I change the cost for some child item, the cost of the parent will changed by the average by the time.
When I use the rollup on 'Average' costing method ?
Thanks.

hi,
u cannot perform rollup on average costing method.

Post more than Costing Method to MAC

Hi All,
can i post more than costing method to mac at the same time
assume that i have two warehouses ,one = standard method and the onther = Actual method and i want to post the inventory transactions to the MAC
is it possible
thanks
best regards
Amr Hussien

Hi Amr
You cant post one transaction with two different costing methods. ie. If you have inventory transaction then you can post this only with one cost method. However, you can (THOUGH NOT RECOMMENDED AND HAS POSSIBILITY OF ERROR) do post certain transactions say production with one cost method and inventory with actual. The cost that is picked up by MAC is the one that comes in as GL Cost. The GL Cost is picked up based on the costing method defined in the fiscal policy. Each time you run the GL Cost Update you would have to change this and then run the GL Cost Update.

I want help fast,I can't change my account because I have already bought a lot of apps (with money) and I can't just let the money worth go away :/
If anyone can help (not discuss and complain and tell me sorry) it will be very awesome,because I have no much more to do about this and now I am trying to reach for help
Thank you.

We are users like you. There is nothing we can do about the credit card. Call the credit card company and ask them why the purchases have been decined. They will know for sure and will be able to tell you. Wait, it is not your credit card. Who ever is the account holder will need to call the credit card company.

How to change the payment method of a subscription...

Hello!
I have just purchased a subscription in skype via credit card. Now I seek for a way to change the payment method from credit card to bank transfer.
My problem here is, that when I go to the subscriptions page, I get the option to ''change payment method'', after which I get redirected to the payments page where I just can ''add a payment method''. This gives me the option to add a new credit card, which kind of fails the sense of changing the payment method at least for me.
Am I overlooking something or can it really be possible that I am stuck with paying by credit card until I cancel my subscription?
As a side info, I'm located in Finland, therefore I do only have access to Finnish banks (in case that makes any difference).
I hope someone can help me solve this problem.
Thanks in advance,
Fahlyn

Hi,
As I understand you have a restriction on your PayPal account, unfortunately this is something Skype can't help you with.
But you can try alternative payment methods: www.skype.com/intl/en-us/prices/ways-to-pay/
Another option is to let your friend set up Skype Manager account, purchase credit there and allocate it to you: https://support.skype.com/en-us/faq/FA10519/What-is-Skype-Manager-and-how-does-it-work

How to change average cost of an item?

We have a scenario where the average cost of the goods has gone completely off of what we think it should be for a few items. Many reasons. But question is how do we change average cost assigned to these items without adding to the inventory?

Hi,
You can change the average cost of an item by performing an average cost update.
The inventory quantity remains unaffected, but depending on whether you are increasing or decreasing the unit cost, the inventory value will get affected to that extent.
Inventory > Costs > Average Cost Update - query the concerned item and update the cost as required.
Thanks,

Change to cost center in time dependent data. Can I rerun depreciation YTD?

I need to change the cost center in October (Period 10) Period 9 and prior are already closed. I thought that since I put the Interval for the new cost center as 1/1/11 that it might do and adjustment in October reversing the depreciation posted for the old cost center and put the YTD depreciation in the new cost center, but it did not. it only posted the current month depreciation to the new cost center. Is there any way to do this? Thank you very much.

Hi. Thanks for your reply. I went into the ABAA screen, but I am afraid to process this transaction because I do not understand what is going to happen. I cannot find any documentation that explains this. I have already changed the cost center on the asset and run depreciation. It posted the current month depreciation to the new cost center, but it did not make a correction to the prior periods. I am not creating a new asset, i just want to reclass the prior months depreciation (in the current year) to the new cost center. In case it will help I provide some details:
Asset acquired 5/1/11 Depreciation posted to Cost Center A From May - Sept $1,796.06 per month x 5 = $8,980.30
Before posting Oct depreciation, I went to Master Data - Time Dependent - and changed the cost center as of 1/1/11. So I now have two intervals: From 1/1/1900-Cost Center A, and From 1/1/11 - Cost Center B. I then ran the regular depreciation for Oct. It posted Oct Depreciation of $1,796.06 to the new Cost Center-Cost Center B. My total YTD depreciation is now $10,776.36, but it is split between two cost centers. I need to move the depreciation from Cost Center A to Cost Center B for the prior months. If it was a Journal Entry, I would do it as follows in the month of October, so my YTD numbers would be correct.
Debit Depreciation Cost Center B $8,980.30
Credit Depreciation Cost Center A $8,980.30
Then when I run my October numbers it would show zero depreciation in Cost Center A Year To Date (and negative 8,980.30 in month of October)
If i follow the steps you propose, what would be the result? Thanks so much!

After using PayPal for over a year to make in-app purchases, now I can't. I changed my payment method to credit card but still can't. Anyone have suggestions/info?

I have been making in-app purchases with PayPal for over a year. Now I cannot. I changed my payment method to Credit card, but still can't. I can purchase music in itunes but no game purchases. My ID was disabled after a paypal dispute but after an entire evening on the phone with support and security, that was resolved. Any suggestions? If I have to spend more time on the phone with support, I will. But I would rather not.
