Change Valuation Category - Urgent please !!

Hi !!
I need to change the valuation category of an existing material.
When i wanna change it in Accountant View 1, the error message is "The valuation category cannot be changed for the following reasons:
Stocks already exist at plant level.
Plant SLoc
   1358 1301
   1358 1302 ".
But, the stock is cero. I see this in mmbe or mb52. Also, there aren´t current purchase documents. I see this in me80fn.
SD is not install in the company.
Any ideas ????
Thanks in advance
PS: If i want to change valuation category using MM01, the message is "Valuation category does not allow split valuation"

Hi,
Why are you saying that you do not understand how to check the stock in previous period? It was written by Deepak how to do it.
(Many treads are on this forum about VC change and stock reports.)
My suggestion is that you should use (and learn) transaction MB5B. Please give the necessary information (material, plants, etc) and give the last day of the previous month in 'from' and 'to' selection fields as well.
You will see the opening and closing stock for that day. You should eliminate it somehow...via MB1A + 201 + posting date in the past (then reset it via MB1A + 202).

Changing valuation category

Hi folks,
I want to change valuation category of a material which has already been created with a different val category.
No stock or other data exist for the same. Please let me know the steps to change it at table level.

Hi All,
I am using batch valuation for a particular plant for specific material. For that I am using Valuation catagory X in Accounting View 1 of Material Master.
By mistake business has maintained this valuation catagory X for some other plant also and some transaction is also done so some valuation type data is also created.
Now after ensuring all document closed and no stock still I am not able to remove valuation catagory indicator X. It is giving error when I am going to display error than I see following :
"Valuation data already exists for valuation types that are
not compatible with the new valuation category."
I do not want to delete this Valuation catagory as the same is being used in other plant .
I can not go to third solution also as need to revert valuation catagory for specific material in particular plant. I mean specific material in particular plant is with Valuation catagory X and now it has to be without split / batch valuation so X need to be removed.
Pls. advice.

but, if I create a user in CUA and when I login into portal with this userid and password. It doesnt ask for password change. Y is it so?
Please help me in this regard.
Thank you

Still some more input, i just went and checked the account history in portal of the two users, created through portal and also in CUA
The user created in CUA has the folling history

Change Valuation class

We have a need to change the valuation class of the material master with tcode MM02, and the material has a lot of open Purchase Orders and Sales orders, and many batches created for this material. This material use by many countries, and we cannot replace it with a new material number for my plant.
System issue message Valaution class cannot be changed because of a lot of open doc and batches exists, in this situation how to change the Valuaiton class, it will be quite impossible to delete all those open doc and batches. ?? What can we do in order to change the valuaiton class of the material master MM02.??

Hi,
You have to eliminate those problems that is reported by SAP.
E.g.:
- no stock in current and previous period has to exist (eliminate stock: MB1A201posting date in the past; reset stock level: MB1A+202)
- transactional data has to be deleted
- if there are goods movement in current period you have to cancel all of them or you have to wait till the first day of the next period
If you want to change valuation category as well, you have to archive batch master records.
This is not an easy thing to do, you may face several difficulties...
Mass transaction can be used if you have several transactional data to delete (check transaction MASS)
You can search for threads on this forum or for OSS notes too.

Material Type Change (Val Category Error)

Hi,
I have a problem, I have to change material type of one material. There is stock of that material is 50. I have adjusted the inventory as zero (mov 702) in the current date. Then material type changes thru T-code MMAM, but I want to insert valuation category Z in teh mateiral master, as the material is split valuated. But when maitaining val category display error is coming " valuated stock exist" but there is no stock available. Do I have to zero the stock in the previous period also, if yes, can somebody tell me how to do.
Or there may be another reason.
Full points to helping answers.
Regards
GR

You can only change the valuation class or valuation category under the following circumstances
u2022No stocks are available for the material.
u2022There are no existing purchase requisitions, purchase orders, or scheduling agreements for the material.
u2022At present, no purchase orders or purchase order items are being created or changed.
If system is not allowing changing valuation category there will be either stock of this material or existing purchase document
1) If there are stocks in the previous period, you can clear them as follows:
a) Post the stock in the previous period to the current period (for example, using movement type 561) so that the stock for the previous period is the same as the stock for the current period.
b) Clear the stock with the posting date in the previous period (for example, using movement type 562).
u2022 2) If there are Open purchase requisitions, purchase orders, or scheduling agreements for the material, close it.

*How to change the Valuation Category & Price control in material master*

Hello SAP Gurus,
I have a requirement to change the valuation category from 'X' to ' ' in accounting view of material master.
-> I have cancelled all the open PO's & SO's for the material
-> I have ensured that there is no stock for the material in that valuation area.
But still I get an error message that batch already exists for the material. When I check entries in MCHB I find that there are previous entires in MCHB with zero stock.
I have gone through the SAP note 155874 which recomends the archiving the effected objects.
Please let me know is there any work around to change the valuation category from 'X' to ' ' & price control 'V' to 'S'. I also need to change from ' ' to 'X' for a few materials.
Thanks for your advise.
Best Regards,
Narayan.

Note 155874 cleary describes what has to be done to be able to change.
There is no workaround, and if you change anything in the tables directly, then this will cause inconsitencies, as described in this note as well.

Urgent - How to change Item category for Open Purchase Order

Hi Team,
Lil bit tricky issue.
My client has asked us to change the existing Item Category values, Combinations, Category Set etc. Its been changed and uploaded successfully.
The question here is how we need to handle the category for Open Purchase Order. How to update the same.
Do we need to do manually or any other way ?
Please advice
Regarads,
John

Hi John,
This is reallly a tricky issue!
I guess you cannot change the category of an existing PO's.
This field will be greyed out once we save the form...there were no profiles/other setups to enable this field.
For all new PO's since you have changed the new category value that should not be a issue.
Lets wait for some of our colleuges opinion.
I guess PO cancel should be the final option if we dont hear any new work arounds.
Thanks

Cannot change Valuation Class although no Open-PO

Dear Gurus,
I try to change Valuation Class in Material Master but I cannot after I created PO and still after MIGO and MIRO.
We are using PS and Material Master is set as below;
Ind./Coll in MPR4 = 1
Since requirement comes from PS, PO is created with account assignment category Q.
Once we execute MIGO and MIRO for the PO, still we cannot change Valuation Class.
If you know the way to change Valuation Class, would you tell me how?
Best Regards,
AK

Hi,
The change of the valuation class will impact on ML (material ledger), if the ML
is active. Is ML active on your system?
The note 575632 explains partly the effects on CCS. The
valuation class is used to allocate the plan costs to the related cost
element. Therefore, it is advisable to create new materials instead of
changing the valuation class. This would be straight forward and easy to
follow-up. The CCS does not a change history. Consequently, the previous
periods can not be explained with current CCS. That may lead
inconsistencies under circumtances. It is up to your decision. You can
change, test the impact and decide on. The proposed solution of SAP
would be avoiding that change and creating new materials.
When you try to change the valuation class, what is the details of the
error?
In order to change valuation class in the material master, you have to
make sure that none of the following exist in you system:
1 Valuated stocks in the current period or in the previous period
2 Open purchase orders or delivery schedule lines
3 Production orders for which a goods movement has already taken place
The system checks the stocks (storage loc. stocks and special
stocks) of the same period in which the valuation class will be changed.
If the valuation class of current period will changed, check in
transaction code MMBE for zero stocks, or in SE16: MARD/MBEW;
MCHB/MKOL/MSKA/MSKU/MSLB/MSPR.
The system checks all dependant purchase documents without delete flag
and error M3368 occurs when it finds at least one non deleted po item
(not only when stocks exist).
1. First be sure that no stocks exist in current AND previous period!
   see note 30656, with an example how to get zero stocks.
2. SE16 ->table EKPO. Select all po items of the related material.
   If you found items with LOEKZ <> 'L', you have to delete them in ME22
3. SE16 ->table AFPO. Select all items of the related material/plant.
   If you find at least one item, change of val.clss. is not possible.
   You have to these production order(s) !
These hard restrictions are necessary as inconsistencies in account
assignment will follow after change of val.class, when proceeding
follow up functions of a PO item before and after changing valuation
class. Also attached is 146241.
In customizing for the Material Master, you can switch the check for
open purchase orders and/or for production orders to a warning.
You do this in Define Attributes of System Messages by assigning
the message type Warning to message MM 326 and/or MM 327 respectively.
Please refer to note 160970 for more information.
I hope this will help you in resolving the reported issue.

Arminda Jack

VPRS shows no Value with Split Valuation - Valuation Category X

After configuring Split Valuation - Valuation Category X (http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=193693045)
VPRS is no longer showing any Value in the Sales Order. I have assigned a Batch in the Sales Order and tried to Deliver and VPRS still shows as 0.
VPRS is working correctly for Material that are not maintained at Valuation Category X.
Also, I have the Price maintained as Moving Average Price for the Materials with Val Cat = X.
Does anyone have any ideas? Please I would appreciate the feedback.

Thank you for the quick response.
After check MBEW i was able to see that my new Batches were being assigned a Standard Price instead of MAP.
I changed the settings in the Attributes of my Material Type to set the Price to MAP instead of Standard.
Now it works perfectly - Thanks!

Set Valuation Category as required field

Hii My dear Friends,
Can we set valuation category in accounting view as required field. It is to prevent the user from making any changes on the valuation category.

Hi,
You can not avoid user making any changes in valaution category by making that fileld manadatory . Also for every material valaution category can not be mandatory it is used for material under split valuation . You can opt for either restricting authorisation to MM02 to users or go for user exit.
Please give pints if find useful

Change item category in delivery order

Hi everyone
Issue: Can not change item category in delivery order.
Phenomenon:
1:Create purchase order and receive item based on it. complete invoice verification.
2:Use MIGO to create return delivery based on material document that is created during above process.
3:Based on system settings, (Sales org, ship-to party etc), outbound delivery is automatically created in background.
4:Try to change item category which is already determined during delivery order creation, but it is grayed out.
Can we change item category in this situation?
I have checked thread "Number of attempts to change Item Category
This looks same issue but I still do not know how to control item category in delivery order.
In material type, is there any place I can configure to allow user to change item category
in delivery order?
Please advise.

Hi,
Check whether this link would help you,

It looks you need to use user exit: MV50AFZ1 to acheive your requirement.

Issue while changing Item Category during Sales Order Creation

Hi,
Requirement:
Requirement is to change the item category of Sales Order item while creating the sales order.
Rule is: If item category is IRAT then it should be changed to IRLN.
For this, I am using the user exit "USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT_PREPARE" available in the include MV45AFZZ.
Issue:
Using the above mentioned exit, Item category is getting changed to the desired value in the created sales order BUT value of Billing Status (VBUP-FKSAA) which is supposed to get changed is blank.
For example, Sales order is created from VA01 and item category is changed manually to the value mentioned above, then for the sales order created we have VBUP-FKSAA = 'A'. But when value of Item category is not changed manually and it is changed from the exit, then value of VBUP-FKSAA is blank.
I have to find a solution which would change the value of Billing Status according to the change in the value of Item Category.
Please suggest a relevant solution.
Thanks a lot for responding.
Abhinav.

Hi Abhinav,
I have a simmilar problem. In my case I am changing Reason of Rejection in the user-exit, but net value is not getting updated. Did you solve your problem? Any other way to change a field of a sales order item?
Thanking you in advance,
Nisha
