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.

  • 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?

    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.

  • Changeing Valuation class-what happens to deleted open docs.

    Hello,
    we are planning to change the valuation class for material. In order to change the class we would have to delete all open items that trace back to the material (PO, GR, IR). I run me2m to identify the open documents for that material.
    My issue is when I reverse or delete the IR, GR, and PO what happens to the those documents.? We have documents that go back to 2007.
    Do we have to recreate the PO, GR, IR after we change the class.?What are the long term effects when doing this change (Audit)?
    Please advise.
    Thanks.

    You don't need to worry about old documents as long as they are not open.
    You just need to invoice out all the open GRs or cancel all those GRs. In case of POs, you have to ensure the GR qty is equal to IR qty for each PO line, then you can mark the line as deleted so that the system will allow you to change the val. class. You also need to make the stock to zero.
    Once val. Class is changed, you can undo all the above.

  • Changing Valuation Class of  Material

    I want to change the valuation class of a material, if i do, what effect will it have on open PO's and schedule agreements. How do I change it if there are open PO's for this material.
    Thank you.

    You can chage the valuation class if no stock or no document exist for that material. Actually valuation class is assigned with the GL  with the help of material type. So if at all you want to change the valuation class make sure that no document or stock exist for the PO moreover you have to follow the following steps for that
    go to MM02 -- enter material --- select the view accounting 1 then click on previous per/year and their make the necessary change to change the valuation class for the material
    Hope this will help you

  • Changing Valuation Class

    Hi,
    we have a material which we need to change the valuation class ASAP. when trying to change it shows a created STO (Stock transport Order) and have transferred materials against that STO using Mvt.type 351.
    When trying to cancel this transfer document, it cannot be done because it is posted for last period which is already closed(using MMPV).
    Is there a way to change the val. Class of the material.
    Pls advice .
    Cheers
    Anushka

    Hi,
    To Change the Valuation class of the material, first of all you need to do following-
    1. GR for full open quantity is done.
    2. LIV is done for planned delivery cost as well as goods and services.
    3. Full Vendor settlement is done both for Goods as well as delivery cost vendors.
    4. All stocks are consumed and there is no stock balance.
    Once the valuation class is changed, during G/L account determination it will determine the new G/L account instead of the old one.
    In case you still want to have some posting on the basis of the previous G/L account, you need to do the same based on manual Journal Vouchers.
    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. For more see note 30656 & 146241
    [Set your stock to u20180u2019 both in previous and in current period. (use MB1A201 with posting date in the previous period to eliminate your stock; via MB1A202 you can reset your stock level after the material master change) .If you've had material movements in this period for your material it may be very difficult to set the stock to u20180u2019 because you should cancel all goods movements. In this case you'd better wait till the end of the month: set the stock to u20180u2019 on the last day of May > change on first day of June > reset stock level on the first day of June]

  • Change the valuation class of material [Stock transport order scenario]

    Dears,
    Client would like to change the valuation class of material.
    There is no open Purchase order/Process order/Purchase requistion and stock in plant.
    Scenario- One Stock transport order is created.
    For same goods issue (351-issuing plant) and goods receipt (101-receiving plant) is done.
    When we are going to change the valuation class of said material, message is "purchase order is open
    and it shows the no of STO [for which receipt and issue is done]"
    To resolve this issue we had first delete the STO line item no(ME22N). Then change the valuation class.
    (this allows). and then undelete the STO line item. Through this we can change the valuation class of material.
    Please advise in such business process that this is right way or there may be other option.
    Thanks & Regards
    Rajan

    rajanshah219,
    Here's my take on how to fix:
    *Manually change Config TCode OMT4 - change message MM 326 & 327 to type "W"   (if open order exists...now you can enter through warning messages)
    *If inventory exists, then issue out of stock to a cost center
    *Change valuation class
    *Put stock back into inventory (reverse to that same cost center)  Note issue out and reverse back into inventory must happen in the same posting period.
    **Valuation class should be changed as expected
    **Manually change config  TCode OMT4 - change message MM 326 & 327 back to type "E"
    Thanks,
    Jason

    Hi,
    it is not possible, to change the valuation class for any material, once a stock entry is passed in the system.( even thought the stock you have made zero )
    if you try to change it in MM02,  an error log shows, please go thr' it. it shows open items or transactions, due to which we can't
    change valuation class.
    please check other option, instead of changing valuation class.

  • Valuation Class according to Material Master but not Plant wise

    We have 18 plant in our company and more than 2,50,000 material's.
    Which one easy task for change in material master, either 2,50,000 material's or 2,50,000 X 18 (45,00,000) material list.

  • Valuation Grouping Code same- Valuation Class different for each plant

    Hi All,
    We have 5 plants assigned to the company code. We have same Chart of Accounts (1000) and all the plants are grouped together to one valuation grouping code(001).
    Now if i extend the material codes to different plants, i am able to give each valuation class to each plant. So what is the use of giving same valuation grouping code for all plants?
    I expected some error message when i changed valuation class for another plant since all plant were grouped together to one valuation grouping code. Please explain.
    Regards,
    Rosh

    Hi Rosh,
    There is a meaning of grouping valuation areas using valuation grouping code
    e.g.   Plant 1000  valuation grouping code - 0001
             Plant 2000  valuation grouping code - 0002
    Lets say  you have 3010  valuation class for material A in both plants
    So while determining  GL account for BSX key following will be combination
    VGC / Valuation         modifierValuation class         GL
    0001                                       3010                        2000
    0002                                       3010                        3000
    Means using VGC  u can Differenciate account determination for plants under same Company code

  • Valuation Class

    Hi,
    Can you pls suggest me how to change the valuation class in material master.
    All the three conditions
    *No Open PO*
    *No Open Production order*
    *No stock for that material*
    But transactions are being carried out for that material
    So pls suggest me step by step procedure.
    Thanks and Regards

    Hi
    It is always suggested that instead of changing valuation class create new material and block the old one after transfering balances to new one.
    Still if you want to change, do the following.
    Close all PO.
    Complete all the pending issues.
    Thanks

  • Valuation class changess

    hi sir,
    i am changing Valuation class.but i have some open purchase orders,production orders.now i am doing delete for that orders then chage valuation class and remove delete flag for that orders.plz tell me these is right metod or not.

    Prasad,
    For changing valuatin class you have to delete all open PO,Reservation,PR ,Production order...etc.
    But after changing Valuation class, you should not remove the deletion flag from the deleted items,because it will through error, when u will do the further transactions like GR for the open PO.
    The best practice is to create new orders after changing the valuation class in Material master.
