De-linking (Valuation class & GL A/c) automatic posting in Invoice booking

Experts,
I have a issue regarding link between FI & MM
From what I understand,
there is a link between Service & Valuation class
& also a link between valuation class & GL.
This link enables automatic FI line item posting while invoice booking.
My question:
1. Can we break the linkage between valuation class & GL i.e. we want to stop the automatic posting
2. What is the effect of above
3. Would you advise to do this .. ? Why?
Regards,

Hi,
SAP standard process are the best business practises and it should changed only when we have genuine business problem and not for people issue.
There are several scenarios will occur during MIGO and MIRO. For each scenario system should determine a correct Inventory account, GR/IR clearing account, Price difference account and etc. First you need to prepare an excel sheet with all your possible business scenario, valuation area/valuation grouping code and their respective GL accounts. Once you have listed out all the scenarios and correct GL accounts, you can configure the system as per your requirement. Initial home work is needed to avoid any difference in account posting. Hence try to fix the source of your problem rather than changing the best practise. Account determination is vast and it cannot be explained here but please refer the below link.

  • Valuation class of material master to be changed

    Hello,
    My master data team has insereted a wrong valuation class in the material master record. Purchase order has been raised and a GR has been done for the same. SAP gives following steps to change the valuation class:
    The valuation class cannot be changed, choose 'Display error'
    Message no. M3368
    "Diagnosis
    You wanted to change the valuation class. However, this is not possible because one or more of the following already exist for the material:
    Valuated stocks in the current period or in the previous period
    Open purchase orders or delivery schedule lines
    Production orders for which a goods movement has already taken place
    System response
    Your change is reset by the system.
    Procedure
    If valuated stocks already exist, you can change the valuation class only as follows:
    a) Post the stocks of the material to an interim account.
    b) Change the valuation class in the material master record.
    c) Post the stocks of the material back to their original account.
    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."
    My question is how do I post the stocks to an interim account since stock accounts are configured to post automatically?
    If anyone knows how to manage the posting, please let me know.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Make the movement with a movement type in MIGO  that posts to the same account in FI for all Valuation classes.
    After changing the Val. CLass then reverse the above movement.

  • Relation between Valuation Classes and material type

    Dear all,
    How i can keep relationship between valuation class & material type.
    Can i put many valuation classes & single material type and vice versa.
    Regards,
    Nitin PAtil

    Nitin,
    Valuation class is used for automatic account determination .Valuation class is depend on material type.
    Valuation class is key used to group together material with same account determination.
    Valuation class is assigned to Material type via account category reference.
    Same valuation class can be assigned to differnt material type if they belong to same account category reference.
    However only one account category reference is assigned to one material type.
    For Ex.
    Mat Type         Act Cat Ref             Valuation class(only example)
    ROH                0001                          3001,3002,3000
    HALB               0001                          3001,3002,3003
    FERT                0002                          7900 , 7902
    I hope this will clear your concept.

    For different account determination, you have to change the Valuation Class for these Materials in the Accounting view and maintain required G/L accounts in Automatic Account Determination settings.

  • Changing of Material Valuation Classes

    Currently changing of material valuation classes in standard SAP can be achieved if :
        1.   If valuated stocks already exist, you can change the valuation class
            only as follows:
            a)  Post the stocks of the material to an interim account.
            b)  Change the valuation class in the material master record.
            c)  Post the stocks of the material back to their original account
        2.   If open purchase orders already exist, you can only change the
            valuation class if you first flag the corresponding purchase order
            items for deletion.
        3.   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.
    Is there any other ways that point 2 and 3 can be avoided when trying to change material valuation classes?
    Thanks,
    CW

    HI,
    That makes it very tricky doesn't it.
    But if this is done at your quietes time (if there is one, but even 24hour 7 day operations have a quiet time?)
    You can still carry on producing but yopu will have to hold off from posting anything while the PP orders are blocked/deleted.
    I guess that you could use an LSMW job to make sure that the time taken is a minimum.
    The job just needs to be fed a list of all PP orders containing the material/s involved and it can then set the delete flags and reset them in  seconds (with a manual change of the Valuation class inbetween).
    There is not going to be a clean and easy solution to this, all we can do is to try to reduce the pain.

  • How to change the value of Valuation class.

    dear friends:
    i want to change the value of Valuation class in the material master .but system  warning info occurs .
    The valuation class cannot be changed
    Message no. M3 368
    Diagnosis
    You wanted to change the valuation class. However, this is not possible because one or more of the following already exist for the material:
    Valuated stocks in the current period or in the previous period
    Open purchase orders or delivery schedule lines
    Production orders for which a goods movement has already taken place
    System Response
    Your change is reset by the system.
    Procedure
    If valuated stocks already exist, you can change the valuation class only as follows:
    a) Post the stocks of the material to an interim account.
    b) Change the valuation class in the material master record.
    c) Post the stocks of the material back to their original account.
    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.
    Procedure for System Administration
    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. However, first ensure organizationally that further processing of the open purchase orders or production orders cannot result in inconsistencies.

    To resolve SAP error message M3 368 I would suggest that you refer to SAP note number 1967543. This note outlines the issue and a resolution to it:
    Please have a look at the description of the error M3 368. This error may occur if one or more of the following already exist for the material:
    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
    Resolution:
    If you have valuated stocks in the current period or in the previous period, you will get message "Stocks already exist.". You have to clear all the stocks both in current period and previous period. Please have a look at SAP Note 30656, it shows an example on how to clear the stocks in
    previous period. You can use transaction MIGO to execute this step.
    If you have open purchase orders or delivery schedule lines, you will get message "Purchase orders already exist.". You can find related purchase orders after you click 'Display Error' button. Please delete them in transaction ME22N.
    If you have production orders for which a goods movement has already taken place, you will get message "Production orders already exist.". Please archive these production orders. You need to set deletion flag for these orders firstly and go to SARA, use archiving object PP_ORDER to archive
    these orders.

  • Valuation class & material type

    Hi all ,
    Can anyone plz tell me the answer on following
    What establishes the relationship between a valuation class and material type
    A.     Valuation grouping code
    B.     G/L account
    C.     Valuation category
    D.     Valuation grouping code.
    E.     Account category reference
    Thanks in advance
    Shreek

    i think more than one answer should be correct for this question. The valuation class makes it possible to:
    Post the stock values of materials of the same material type to different G/L accounts
    Post the stock values of materials of different material types to the same G/L account
    On the other hand, a account category reference is Group of valuation classes that the system uses to check whether the valuation class you have entered is allowed when you maintain accounting data in a material master record.
    So i think the answer should be G/L account, Account category reference and Valuation category.
    Please refer to the site:

    What are the transactions for Mass deletion od POs and production orders.
    Please assist step by step as this will have huge impact on FI.

    Hi
    You can change the valuation class of the material if
    NO Valuated stocks in the current period or in the previous period
    No Open purchase orders or delivery schedule linesn
    No Production orders for which a goods movement has already taken place

  • What is valuation class

    what is valuation class? where do we make settings for it?
    Can we make new valuation class?

    Hi
    Assignment of a material to a group of G/L accounts
    With other factors, the valuation class determines the G/L accounts that are updated as a result of a valuation-relevant transaction or event such as a goods movement.
    The valuation class makes it possible to:
    Post the stock values of materials of the same material type to different G/L accounts
    Post the stock values of materials of different material types to the same G/L account
    Yes you can create new valuation Classes
    You can define the Valuation Calsses in Transaction OMSK or SPRO-> MATerails Management-> Valuation and Account Assignment-> Account Determination-> Account Determination Without Wizard-> Define Valuation Classes
    Under valuation class, define the valuation classes for each account category reference.

    Hi Santosh,
    Movement types are similar to posting keys
    Valuation class determines the G/L accounts to be posted automatically
    Based on accounts person  requirement the valuation class will be created by MM people
    Integration is based on three rules
    Rule 1:Valuation class is specified in material master
    Rule 2:For valuation class we assign G/L Account based on the nature of transactions
    Rule3:At the time of Goods receipt/Issue, the stores person enters material no, quantity& movement type
    Accounts will be updated automatically based on A/C assignment to valuation class, which is specified in material master

  • How to setup new valuation class and link it with gl a/c

    hi
    can some one help me setting up new valuation class and then how to link it with gl a/c
    i m new so if some one can explain me in steps then that would b awsome.
    thanx

    Hi Iqbal,
    Follow the below path for defining valuation class ;
    SPRO>Materials Management>Valuation and Account Assignment>Account Determination>Account Determination Without Wizard--Define Valuation Classes
    Note that Valuation class is linked to account category reference.
    Account category ref is linked to Material Type.
    Thus the system determines Valuation Class for a particular mat.type.
    For detmining G/l accounts:
    SPRO>Materials Management>Valuation and Account Assignment>Account Determination>Account Determination Without Wizard--Configure automatic postings
    Click on account assignment. Double click on BSX , enter chart of accounts .
    Against every valuation class you can find the G/L accounts.

  • No automatic G/L account determination upon SSC items valuation classes

    Hi Experts
    Iu2019m trying to get the G/L expense account on the Purchase Order item for a Standard Service Catalog Item. Iu2019ve assigned a valuation class to valuation class field (ESLA-BKLAS) on the Catalog Header (General data sub-window) and also the same valuation class (RMSTLV-BKLAS) in all Standard Service Catalog Items texts (by choosing the Editor option).

    Can you help me out?

    I have the same issue where I have maintained the Valuation class values in the Standard Service Catalogue,
    Referenced those SSC items into an outline agreement where I have assigned specific prices... but am required to maintain a Material Group at the Line item level.
    Created a PO that references the Outline agreement.
    Created a service entry that references the Contract services catalogue items...
    ... and regardless of the valuation classes maintained either at the Catalogue level (ESLA-BKLAS) or at the editor level (RMSTLV-BKLAS) the GL that comes into the Service entry document is the one from the Contract line level.
    Any insight as to where I may gain control on this would be greatly appreciated.
