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.
Regards,
Yogesh

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.
Regards
Sanjay

  • 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).

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Different Valuation Class for Valuation category C1,C2,C3

    Hi All,
    I created a material with valuation category C. The material had valuation class 3042 which I created as per requirement of client. Now when I am extending the same material for valuation category C1, C2, C3 the system is only allowing me to choose valuation class 3040 which is standard sap valuation class for spare parts. Can anyone suggest if I need to create separate valuation class for C1, C2 & C3. I have split valuation also activated in the system.

    Go to MMAM  and then give the material and give the new valuation class and execute it.  That material have change from old valuation class to new valuation class.
    Example:  You create material No: 678 under the Finished goods. Finished goods valuation class is 7920 is assigned in Accounting Tab 1. You want to change "678" material  to Raw Material.
    Go to T.Code : MMAM
    Material                                : 678
    New Valuation Class             : Raw Material ( Select from F4)
                                                   Which Valuation area you want
    Old Valuation Class              : Finished goods ( its under gray mode
                                                                              i.e can not change)

  • Inventory problem for material with valuation category X

    Hi!
    During annual inventory, I found material in a storage location that doesn't exist in SAP as material master.
    I have created the material, managed in batches and valuation category X.
    I have created a batch with MSC1N and now I am trying to create an inventory document to put this material on stock; but when I am trying to create the inventory document with MI01 or MI31, the system is telling me :
    "Batch  0000043183   does not contain a valuation type
    Message no. M7045
    Diagnosis
    The material is subject to split valuation, but the batch entered has not been assigned to a valuation type.
    System Response
    Any transaction/event that has the effect of changing the stock balance will be rejected for this batch.
    Procedure
    Contact your system administrator.
    If you are authorized to do so, do you wish to check the valuation category in the material master record?
    Do you want to display the batch?"
    Now, I don't know exactly what can I do to be able to create the inventory document.
    Any ideas.....
    Thanks

    Since you have created a material master with valuation category that means the system is taking that material either as split valuated or to-be split valuated...the reason of this error you will find out if you go to MSC2N with material-batch & plant you will find in the Basic data 1 tab that Valuation type field is mandatory...so either you have to split valuate the item further and then enter the same valuation type in MSC2N or otherwise if you not still done any transaction with the material master then remove the valuation category from the material master

  • 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!

  • Material Master - Valuation Category

    Dear Expert,
    How to activate valuation category field in material master - tabs accounting1- so we can chose any value which propused by SAP ?
    Thxs.
    Rgds,
    Ely

    Hi,
    Check no stock and PO were created  for that material. It is only possible to change a material (valuation category) if no stock and PO were created. So it is not something that get changed at will. It needs to be decided on creation of material in MM01 t.code
    Check this Link for details for details:
    http://www.sap123.com/showthread.php?t=29
    Note:
    The Split Valuation settings are as follow:
    1.SPRO> MM>VALN AND ACC ASSIGNMENT> SPLIT VALUATION> Acitvate Split Valuation
    2.SPRO> MM>VALN AND ACC ASSIGNMENT> SPLIT VALUATION> Configure Split Valuation
    Click on Golbal type: create your own valuation types as Type 1, Type 2 etc
    Click on Global categories:create your own Valuation Category as Type(T) and
    Activate all valuation types(Type1, Type2 ) for your category(T)
    Goto MM01, enter materialu2026u2026u2026u20261st enter valuation category and save & again enter MM01 enter the Valuation type as Type 1 and maintain price for it and repeat the same for all the Types.
    Follow following process to maintain the material master.
    Step_>1:
    Create material with T.Code. MM01 and enter all the required data in respective field. in particular go to "Accounting" view and Enter valuation category and save the material.
    With this step you have maintained the Valuation category
    Step_>2:
    Now to maintain Valuation type go to change material T. Code MM02
    Once again here you while entering Plant and storage location "Valuation type" field will come, here you enter first valuation type and go to Accounting view and Maintain relevant Valuation class. Save this data.
    Once again you repeat the Step two and here you enter another valuation type and respective valuation class. With this step you have maintained the valuation type.
    When you create a PO for split valuated material it will ask for valuation type and you can enter your required valuation type and save.

  • AFS - Valuation Category as "X"

    Hi All,
    If i am using split valuation for standard material and i am taking valuation category 'X', then its working correctly. we dont need to enter valuation type in that case valuation type is same as its batch. and if price is changing its batch is changing and hence its valuation type.
    Is the same scenario is not possible with AFS material. ?
    How to achieve batch specific valuations in AFS sku wise?
    Regards
    Ayyallas

    For split valuation with category X it becomes like batch valuation and valuation type is same as batch. For materials which are split valuation but not category X that is batch valuation, you can manage the material in batches and default valuation type there in transaction code MSC1n and if not batch managed then in Tc  OMWc.
    Regards

  • Split Valuation - Change Valuation Type

    Good morning...
    I have configured split valuation for some materials by Quality Valuation Category.
    Now I need to change from 'NEW' Valuation Type to 'USED' Valuation type and assign the cost of the movement to a cost center.
    So I need to know the procedure for a transfer of a material 'X' from valuation type 'A' to the same material with another valuation type 'B'...
    Is this possible? With what kind of movement? or should create my own?
    Thank you very much for the help

    Ok thanks everyone for your answers.
    Finally I solved the problem with movement 309.
    The problem was that the cost center was not captured by the accounting document.
    This is because a flag must be activated at the account determination in OMWN transaction.
    The flag 'Check Account Assignment' passes the cost from the Material Document to the Accounting Document.
    This flag was deactivated for movement 309, and when I activated it, the cost center entered in MIGO was automatically taken by the accounting document.
    Thanks again for your tips.

  • 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
