Converting to Split Valuation

Hello to All:
We are converting several existing materials to split valuation. According to SAP documentation, to continue to use the same SAP material ID one cannot have any open SD documents, i.e. Releases, Orders, Deliveries at the time the conversion is executed. For us, this would mean we would have to deal with many thousand of open documents first. The other option is to retire the original SAP material IDs and move the inventory from the old to the new material using the appropriate valuation type.
My question to you is: Has anyone had experience with converting an existing material ID to split valuation and what if any are the pitfalls to avoid?
Thank you
Bob

Hi Bob,
We converted some spare parts to split val. We had open POs and inventory on the parts. In general it was easier to start over with a new material number and then transfer the inventory, etc.
Something else to consider -- in addition to open docs and current inventory, it may even be necessary to have no stock as of previous month end! You might check this out in your dev system.
Other things to think about are the impact on the physical inventory process, how to segregate/label the parts in your warehouse, how warehouse personnel will control the entry of this new field (it's another place to drop the ball), any custom report changes that will be required (e.g., valuation and inventory reports).
Bottom line -- it's going to hurt, it's just a question of what kind of pain you're willing to endure. Good luck.

MM42 change material, split valuation at batch level, M301, locking table

Dear All,
I'm working on ECC 6.0 retail and I have activated split valuation at batch level. Now in MBEW for this specific material I have almost 14.400 entries.
If I try to change some material data (MM42) I receive an error message M3021 A system error has occurred while locking and then Lock table overflow.
I used SM12 to see the table (while MM42 is still running) and it seems that MBEW is the problem.
What should I do? For any material modification the system has to modify every entry in MBEW? Is there any possibility to skip this?
Thank you.

Hi,
Symptom
Key word: Enqueue
FM: A system error has occurred in the block handler
Message in the syslog: lock table overflowed
Other terms
M3021 MM02 F5 288 F5288 FBRA
Reason and Prerequisites
The lock table has overflowed.
Cause 1: Dimensions of the lock table are too small
Cause 2: The update lags far behind or has shut down completely, so that the lock entries of the update requests that are not yet updated cause the lock table to overflow.
Cause 3: Poor design of the application programs. A lock is issued for each object in an application program, for example a collective run with many objects.
Solution
Determine the cause:
SM12 -> Goto -> Diagnosis (old)
SM12 -> Extras -> Diagnosis (new)
checks the effectiveness of the lock management
SM12 -> Goto -> Diagnosis in update (old)
SM12 -> Extras -> Diagnosis in update (new)
checks the effectiveness of the lock management in conjunction with updates
SM12 -> OkCode TEST -> Error handling -> Statistics (old, only in the enqueue server)
SM12 -> Extras -> Statistics (new)
shows the statistics of the lock management, including the previous maximum fill levels (peak usage) of the partial tables in the lock table
If the owner table overflows, cause 2 generally applies.
In the alert monitor (RZ20), an overrunning of the (customizable) high-water marks is detected and displayed as an alert reason.
The size of the lock table can be set with the profile parameter u201Cenque/table_size =u201C. specifies the size of the lock table in kilobytes. The setting must be made in the profile of the enqueue server ( u2026_DVEBM.. ). The change only takes effect after the restart of the enqueue server.
The default size is 500 KB in the Rel 3.1x implementation of the enqueue table. The resulting sizes for the individual tables are:
Owner table: approx 560.
Name table: approx 560.
Entry table: approx 2240.
As of Rel 4.xx the new implementation of the lock table takes effect.
It can also be activated as described in note 75144 for the 3.1I kernel. The default size is 2000 KB. The resulting sizes for the individual tables are:
Owner table: approx 5400
Name table: approx 5400
Entry table: approx 5400
Example: with the
u201Cenque/table_size =32000u2033 profile parameter, the size of the enqueue table is set to 32000 KB. The tables can then have approx 40,000 entries.
Note that the above sizes and numbers depend on various factors such as the kernel release, patch number, platform, address length (32/64-bit), and character width (Ascii/Unicode). Use the statistics display in SM12 to check the actual capacity of the lock table.
If cause 2 applies, an enlargement of the lock table only delays the overflow of the lock table, but it cannot generally be avoided.
In this case you need to eliminate the update shutdown or accelerate the throughput of the update program using more update processes. Using CCMS (operation modes, see training BC120) the category of work processes can be switched at runtime, for example an interactive work process can be converted temporarily into an update process, to temporarily increase the throughput of the update.
For cause 3, you should consider a tuning of the task function. Instead of issuing a large number of individual locks, it may be better to use generic locks (wildcard) to block a complete subarea. This will also allow you to considerably improve the performance.

541 & 543 Mvt for Sub Contract Process with Split Valuation

Hi all,
We have activated SPLIT VALUATION for sub contracting in ECC 6.0
We have clasified into 3 Valuation Catergories as New,Repaired & Faulty.
The logic & naming convention of the materials are
New Material : C1
Repaired : C2
Faulty : C3
The details are as.....a faulty material can be converted into Repaired by the external Vendors,for which we raise a PO and do MB1B with 541 mvt type with ref to this PO.
The Acing Entries are
PK      GL Code        Material     Value
99         117000         C3            10
89         117000         C2            100
93         600530                           90
While in process the GR w.r.t the above mentioned PO ,we are getting 6 accounting entries (which is delivered by Stand SAP) they are as
PK      GL Code       Descrip     Value
89         117000        Stock        100
96         117400        GR/IR         150
91         600530        Sub Cont    100
86         600863        Sub Service 150
99         117000        Stock          100
81         600530        Sub Cont     100
Can any please explain me how the system calculates the above Accounting Entry.
We are confused why the system calculates ( entries) for the 91,81,86 Posting Key.
I have uderstood that PK 89 for goods inward, 96 is for GR/IR clr, 99 is for reversal of 541 mvt type.
Other 3 entries i have the confusion ........
Can anyone please guide me and explain in detail how ,why andfrom where the system is calculating the entries.
Hope that you will help me in this regards
Take Care
God Bless

Automatic STO for materials with split valuation

Hey Gurus,
Our client uses plant-to-plant STO to do transfers among internal plants. The current process: Run MRP in receiving plants --> MRP generates PReq --> Release PReq --> Assign Preq and create STO(from here, buyers manually check stock at issuing plant to see if there are "New" or "Rebuild" stock available, Rebuild stock always take the priority. Buyers manually assign Rebuild or New to ME21N).
The client tries to automate the STO process, ie, using ME59 or ME59N instead of ME21N. The problem is how the system does stock check and automatically enters"Rebuild" or "New" for materials with Split Valuation, which are done by buyers manually?
Thanks
JM

Hello,
Your client's request can be met with an user exit i guess. I have not used this but this is a suggestion that you can try if you wish.
The following things need to be done.
1. New PR type needs to be created and assinged to the STO document type.
2. When running a MRP at receiving plant, the system uses the special procurement key to create the STO requisition, hence we can write the relevant code in user exit in the MRP program. (please find the user exit for MD01)
3. If the special procurement key is 40 in the material master (MRP view), then system has to create the PR using the new PR type for STO. Also for those PRs the default batch should be "Rebuilt" entered while creating the PR.
4. As the batch is already entered in the PR, converting them to PO automatically will not be an issue.
if you feel that the above solution is little tough to implement, then please write a program to fetch the STO PRs and update the PRs one by one using the BAPI PR update or BDC with the batch "Rebuilt". This program you can ask the users to run before using ME59.

Sakthi

Split valuation: how to close an annual PO

Dear Experts,
We need to change a non-split valuated material to split valuated mode by using the Valuation category 'X'. I have done the required config. and cleared all of the stocks and reservations. Now we have one "annual" purchase order left (line per month) that is partly closed and partly open. I flagged all of the items as completely delivered and invoiced but it still comes to the material Display errors log. Do I need to throw all of the items to the carbage bin or even archive the PO before I can change the Valuation category in the material master?
Thanks in advance!

Hi
If the PO is partially open ensure that the PO order qty is changed to Delivered and invoiced qty and then flag the delivery completed and final invoice indicator and then flag the item for deletion.
Now you try to activate the valuation category.
Usually if we have such requiremnt of activating the material for split valution, always you create a new material and falg the old material for deletion. This will be helpful in the reporting parts also.
You donot have to face all these problems in that case.
Thanks & Regards
Kishore

Split valuation with batch management and project stock

Dear Gurus,
I need to combine two following requirements:
1. split valuation with batch management (valuation type = batch number)
2. project stock
These two functionalities work fine separately but not together.
I receipt PO for material with spiit valuation on a batch level into a project stock. Posting is OK and material document (MSEG table) seems to be OK (batch number, valuation type and project stock are in this table). The problem appears when I want to display material in this valuation type (MM03) or batch (MSC3n). They don't exist!!! Short investigation showed that during goods receipt table MBEW (valuated stock) was not updated with this valuation type.
But If PO is receipt into normal stock first and then posted into project stock everything is OK.
Have you had or heart about such issue? I would appreciate any sugestion.
Thsnks in advance.
Marcin Bernat

Hi,
As you already know ,u are using project stock and doing goods receipt against project, stock table QBEW will be updated and not MBEW. MBEW only updates in case of plant stock valuation. If u receive any goods against project stock it does not contribute to plant stock. Irrespective whether your material is managed in split valuation or not, If it is received against project stock it only updates QBEW. There is no need to update MBEW, if u r using split valuation in project. QBEW also have valuation type as another level like MBEW. If u want to see material price for project stock, it can be seen in QBEW -valuation type and not in mm03.
As u r receiving goods against project stock this is d only reason QBEW is updated and not MBEW.
QBEW will store all information like MBEW for batch number, valuation type and project stock assignment.
Hope it answers your question.
Deepak.

Split Valuation For Material Having No Open PO & Stock

Hi Experts,
Will somebody throw light on split valuation where there is no any open PR, PO & Stock for that material but system does not allow to make material split valuated.
System shows error meassge giving old PO nos list.
(Logically all these POS whole business transcations/cycle is completed )
I want split valaution to be done to the material whose stock is nil also there is no any open PR,PO for that plant in the system.
But I dont prefer to delete line items of the old PO for doing the split valuation.
Please suggest solution
Thanks in advance.
Ramesh

Hi,
You can find severaé threads about this on this forum.
Some hints:
1. In MM02 try to set the split valuation > Save > SAP will give error message > Push the appearing 'Display errors' button > SAP will say what hinders you from being able to set the split valuation.
2. As I remember stock has to be zero in current and previous period. (You can set your stock to zero in the previous period using MB1A201posting date in the past; after having set split valuation you can reset your stock level via MB1A+202).
3. IMPORTANT: you have to archive all existing batch records.
4. etc

Split Valuation- Net Price Problem in Po

Dear All,
       The Split Valuation confiigured for Material as
       Val Type(A)- Ex Procurement
       Val Type(B)- Internal House Production.
assigned Valuation Category(C) with A & B and with Plant.
In Material Master Accounting view enter all the reqired inputs
First i Created PR and its ok and go for PO, it asking " net Price" and entered the Net Price, again it showing error msg " net price greater than 0.
Note: for this material PIR, Source List require or not.
       so what i done a mistake? and can any one explain it.
Thanks

net price always remains exclusive freight/delivery cost.
the freight/delivery cost gets added on the net price
so going by logic the calculation which ur system is showing is perfect.
"Re PO: As per you, only net value will be displayed in PO and effective price will not display . why?"
this is becoz it shows the price of that particular material per unit.

indranil

Split valuation Issues in PO

Hi Consultant,
I have one issue with Split valuation -configuration. I have maintained all the configuration setting related to split valuation but whenever I will create PO system does not pick-up the price (different price based on the valuation type in material ) .
The following configuration have done in IMG:
i) Activated split valuation
II) Maintain valuation category under this group in to three valuation types.
III) Activate Plant, (assign into valuation type)
Maintain condition table with key combination (material/plant/price/val.type)
Assign into condition type PB00
Maintain condition records in MEK1 (for this material)
Maintained one header material with valuation category then same material has extended to different valuation types and prices.
Is it necessary to maintain Info record for the split valuated material?
Why system does not valuate the price automatically based in the valuation type changes made in PO?
Regards,
Thiru

Hi Consultant,

Hi, Thiru,
Please check the settings for configuration of split valuation;
If you want to use split valuation, activate the settings found in customizing for material management under
Valuation and Account Assignment--> Split Valuation-->Activate Split Valuation
Define valuation category and a valaution type.
Valuation category determines the criteria for distinguishing between stocks.The valuation type decribes the possible features of the partial stocks.
You define valuation category, valuation types and assignment of types to categories in customizing for material management
Valuation and Account Assignment--> Split Valuation-->Configure Split Valuation
Also first check you material master record with MM03 by selecting the desired organization levels and see whether the valuation prices are showing as per desired valuation type.
Also would like to add that info records are not required in split valuation.

SPLIT VALUATION - EXT/INT PO Indicator- OMWC

Hi,
     Could someone help me understanding this?
     While Configuring Split Valuation, for a Valuation Type I've set the 'EXT PO' indicator as '0' and associated it to a Valuation Category( No default Valuation Type has been set). After associating the Valuation Category and the Valuation Types to a material, I tried creating a PO for the same. It allowed me to create a PO, with the Valuation Type for which the EXT PO is set as '0'.
What I inferred from the settings is that it should have thorwn an error. Have I inferred correctly or else am missing out somewhere. Also, please help me to understand the significance of 'Acct Category Reference' in 'OMWC' Tcode (P.S: Could appreciate the use of Acct Categ Ref in Automatic Account Determination ie Valuation Class determination. But the Significance of Acct Categ Ref. in Split Valuation Type still remains vague.)
TIA,
Regards,
S. Satish

Hi Prabhu,
Thank You very much for your time.
                  The Valuation Type is as follows
                   INDI     EXT PO Indicator '0'.
                The Valuation type 'INDI', got defaulted from the Inforecord in the PO created. The PO is a standard PO.
              Since for 'INDI', the EXT PO is set as '0', ie Not allowed, should I expect an error in this case ( In actual it did not occur. I            suppose it should. Correct me if am wrong).
Acct category Reference is concerned:
     Is it that the Acct Category Reference chosen in the Valuation Type configuration, would surpass the Acct Category ref set for the Material Type?
Ie) if the Acct category ref for 'ROH' is say 0001. If I assign this Material Type for a material and still could I assign a Valuation Category associated to say HALB ( I know in real time, its not possible. But would like to understand if the system validates).

S. Satish

Split valuation for non-valuated materials

Hi dudes,
We are implementing SAP for our Subcontractor.
our SC receive all components from our company ( on free ) but sometimes they purchase the same material themselves for other uses. so we decided to use split valuation to separate valuated and non-valuated materials.
I did configuration and created 2 valuation type ( valuated - nonvaluated )
when I create Purchase order it askes for valuation type but even when I use non-valuation type in PO it asks for price!!!!
do any of you have used split valuation for this target?
have the same problem?
what should I do actually??

Hi,
Is someone in the subcontracting plant going to do a process order on the materials you send them? Or are you only going to track the finished inventory once it reaches your plant?
In the first case:
1) Create a STO to the SC plant. This stock will have to be priced.
2) Inventory reaches SC plant. They perform production process.
3) finished inventory is sent using another STO.
2nd Case:
1) Create a SC vendor using the SC plant as a vendor.
2) Create a SC PO to this vendor using this vendor and transfer goods to him. In this case, goods are transferred for 'free' as they really belong to you and not to the SC
3) Once the production process is over and the finished product is sent back to you, do a GR. The raw material sent to the SC will be consumed.

Batch Management with Split Valuation

Hi
We have a scenario in which we have split valuation for a material and it is also batch managed. In the business process there is regrading step where the material from one valuation type (A) needs to be transferred to a different valuation type (say B). Before regrading each of these grades have different batch nos.
I tried to do a transfer posting (mvmt type - 309) and put the material (from Val type A to B). It asks for batches for both A and B.
We can give batch of A (the from material), but we want a new batch to be created for the "to" material.
How does one go about that?
Deepak

Deepak
I think that you will find that the batch managemenmt is either internal or external at either plant or material level and so if you are changing the valuation in the same plant I do not think that the system will allocate a batch number for you and that you will have to tell the system what the batch is.
I hope that this helps

Material maintained in split valuation and batch management

Dear Seniors,
I have maintained a material with both split valuation and batch management. If i check in MMBE, only batch management is getting preference. Valuation type is not coming. Why is it so ? why maintaining both is not possible in SAP ??? kindly explain me please.
Regards,
JanaMM

If you Mantain both Split valuation as well as batch mgmt for a material, then all stock reports will show "Batch " and Not valuation type since batch is relevant to inventory mgmt and split valuation is relevant for account determination and valuation. , the only report which wil show you both is BMBC(batch info cockpit).
You can however run MB5B w.r.t valuation type in the input screen.
In such cases , The Valuation Type forms a part of the batch master which you can see in MSC3N .

Split Valuation Material Cost Estimate into COPA

Hi all,
Is there any way how we can transfer the split valuation material cost estimate into COPA?
I checked the actual line items, there is no "valuation type / batch" characteristics there.
Is this the main cause?
Please kindly suggest on the best way to solve this issue
Thank you very much
Regards, Erwin

Hi, Ajay
Does this mean that, even though i manage to create the valuation type as characteristic in COPA, i won't be able to get 2 different cost estimate based on valuation type into COPA?
Hm, then, are there any solutions which can be done to solve this issue?
The client needs a COPA report which can show the breakdown of the sold materials cost estimates
As usual, thank you very much for your help
Regards, Erwin

Split valuation while Valuation is on Company Code Level

Dear Experts
I have tested before the split valuation while valuation is the plant level ... the problem now that the FI consultants need to work with valuation on company code level ..
I have activated the categories for the company code , but When i tried to crate Material the field Valuation Category is just displayed and i can't enter any value in it ... how every i have created a new field reference to make it mandatory .. still the same problem
so what is the solution ?
Please Advice

Solved by checking the two indicators : Value Update and Quantity Update in the quantity folder in the attributes of the Material Type
