Error in Activating Material ledger
Hi experts,
I'm trying to activate the material ledger first time to the plant. Then an error is displaying. The error is
The value "001" was entered in the field "LFDNR"
This is not possible because it is a numeric field where only numbers may be entered.The length of the field is 000005.
Enter only numeric vallues in this field.
psl do favour to me.
Thanks
Reddy.P.S
Hi ,
Have you completed the following configuration :
1 Assign Currency Types to Material Ledger Type [OMX2]
2 Assign Material Ledger Types to Valuation Area [OMX3]
3 Maintain Number Ranges for Material Ledger Documents [OMX4]
4 Configure Dynamic Price Changes [OMX5]
5 Reasons for Price Changes
6 Define Movement Type Groups of Material Ledger [OMX7]
7 Assign Movement Type Groups of Material Ledger [OMX0]
8 Define Material Update Structure [OMX9]
9 Assign Material Update Structure to a Valuation Area [OMX8]
10 Activate Actual Cost Component Split [SPRO]
11 Activate Distribution of Usage Variances [SPRO]
For OMX1 .. what price determination you are using . Are you using "3" .
If you already have some other plant active , compare the configurations using transaction CKM9.
Once all configurations are completed , then only use CKMSTART.

Activation Material Ledger with material working in price control "V"
Hi experts!
I have activated Material Ledger and I have a question about this..
1) Before the activation, I have for example a material with the next values in the "Accounting 1" tab:
Total stock = 7 UNI
Price Control = V
Moving price = 166 USD
Standard price = 166 USD
Total value = 1.162 USD (7 UNI*166 USD)
2) And after the Material Ledger activation, In the same material appears the next values in the "Accounting 1" tab.
Total stock = 7 UNI
Price Control = V
Standar price = 166 USD
Per.Unit price = 23,71 USD
Inventory value = 166 USD
I don´t understand if my total value before activation was 1.162 USD, when I have activated ML, the new value is 166 USD.
I dont´t understand why the value for the "Per.Unit price" is 23,71USD and not is 166 USD because this is the original value before ML activation..
I think that my inventory value must be the same before Material Ledger activation, (1.162 USD)???
Best Regards
ManuelHi Shaubhikg:
At first, thanks for your response.
I have founded another material wich has the next information before the material ledger activation:
In the Accounting 1 tab:
Price control: V
Moving price: 1.265,80 USD
Total stock: 5 UNI
Standard price: 553,00 USD
Total value: 6.329,00 USD
After the material Ledger production start up, the same material has the next information in USD:
Standard price: 553,00 USD
Per.unit price: 1.265,80 USD
Price control: V
Inventory value: 6.329,00 USD
In this case the total value of the stock is the same after and before to do the activation of ML. I think that this is good..
And can,t understand the example wich I saw you before.. In that case the Total value of the stock after activation Material Ledger is not the same that before activation..
The material doesn´t have any modification in his unit of measure..
Could you tell me someting about this issue??
Best regards!!

Material ledger is not active in valuation area C002
Dear All,
I have a Scheduling Agreement for a material 'A' with Vendor 'V' with diff prices with validity dates, I did the GR & when i am posting the invoice thro' miro, system is throwing error as above Material ledger is not active in valuation area C002 Why should I activate the material ledger here ? Pls suggest how can i solve this ?
regds,
KalluHi
For a Particular material, Material Ledger is active or not? Can be checked in Accountig view of Material Master.
Why we need Material Ledger?
A fundamental task of the material ledger is carrying inventories in multiple currencies and/or
valuations.
Material inventory values are normally carried by the SAP system in one currency. The material
ledger component enables the R/3 System to carry inventory values in two additional
currencies/valuations. Therefore, all goods movements in the material ledger are performed in up
to 3 currencies or valuations. Currency amounts are translated into foreign currencies at
historical exchange rates directly at the time of posting. Businesses such as those in highinflation
countries can therefore carry their inventories in a more stable currency (such as US
dollars). This reveals inflationary effects on inventory values.
If you use transfer prices to represent value flows in your company in different
valuation views, you must use the material ledger. This allows you to carry your
inventories in three different valuations (legal valuation, valuation for reporting
purposes, and profit center valuation).
Before activating the material ledger, make sure you know which currencies and valuations
you want to use, because you cannot go back and change the setting.
Activating the material ledger is a prerequisite for using multiple valuations.
Thanks

Standard cost estimation after goods movement when material ledger is activ
Hi!
our client is activated material ledger, for some materials standard cost estimation is done till marking but not released.
goods movements have been posted for those materials.
Now system is not allowing to release the standar price for those material in the current period, as material ledger expects same price for entrie period.
what is the alternative way to update the standard price for those materials ( with out reversing the goods movements).
regs,
rameshHi Ramesh,
When you are using Material Ledger, after goods movemnets for materials, no need to change the standard cost estimate as Actual costing run will take care to derive the PUP price.
If there is no standard cost estimation release for sold materials (e.g.FG), you will get an error message duirng the billing document release to accounting. To aviod this error, if you are using split valuation (valuation types) and mixing ratios (CK91N & CK94), try with the below steps:
Create a new valuation type for the same material
Crate CK11N & CK94,
Run CK11N
Run CK24.
Then release the billing document.
Let me know if you need more details.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi
While doing MIGO, I am getting the error as Material Ledger is not active. There is no requirement for material ledger activation. How does this error can be solved.
Please suggest
Thanks
SanjayHi,
Please check whether you have activated Material Ledger at specified Plant level by t-code-OMX1-Activate Material Ledger. But Material Ledger activation settings are not yet completed in your specified Material Master i.e., Material MasterAccounting1ML Active i.e. checking the box for activation of ML and defining Price Determination indicatoru20142 or 3. I guess missing of these settings, you are getting this error in MIGO activity. Please check and confirm.

Material ledger activation in existing plant
Hey all
We have a plant in our Production client which was recently created. The materials in this plant have No released cost but we have PO's and movements in this plant.
Now we are planning to activate Material ledger for this plant. Can anyone advise me on the things that i need to take over of before activating material ledger. Like Closing PO's, MM period, the time of cost run after ML activation and all the Cutover activities that I need to take care of.Hi,
You should activate ML at the beginning of the period. All open orders should be closed.
Please review note 596558. It contains all recommendations for activating Material Ledger.
Best regards,

Material Ledger activation (COML) - multiple plants in single company code.
Hi -
Material Ledger activation (COML)- multiple plants in single company code.
In large mfg plant - process industry (proposed to dived into number of production plants), Matrial 'a' is produced in plant 'a'.Material 'a' is input to procude matl 'B' in plant 'B"..so on and so forth.
We are activating Material Ledger (COML) for actual costing purpose. Question -During multi level price determination, will the variance of lower level materials ( produced in lowerlevel /other plants in our case) be rolled up to higher level materials (in a different plant). please let me know if it really works, if yes what are the guidelines (if any) .
Please advise ASAP.
Thanks
Chris
Edited by: Chris Farr on Oct 23, 2008 11:12 AMHi Chris,
from a business point of view there is a difference that you might take into consideration: The valauation level will always be on material and plant combination. That means, the division into several virtual plants will usually lead to different actual prices for the same material in each plant. That might happen for example when you carry over stocks from last month into the current month in one plant, while the other plant has only receipts from the current month.
That might me desired, but often it is not. If the mutiple plants are in reality only one location it might be hard to explain why the prices differ between plants.

Dear All,
We have executed CK11N of current period for single Raw Material ( w/o quantity struc. Selected in material master) and saved it, but when try to mark & release the material for the current period, the system displays a message as u201COf 0 materials, 0 cost estimates were updated successfullyu201D. Its newly procured raw material.
When we check in KEKO, KEPH & CKIS table the entry exists, but we are not able to execute the standard price for this raw material. In the start of this period we have executed CK40 for all the material (including raw materials) has been updated with standard price.
We have deleted the costing run couple of times and recreated the cost estimation,but of no use.
We have activated Material Ledger and this raw material has price control u2018Su2019 with price determination u20183u2019. We are in ecc 6.03
Do suggest.Hi ,
We are facing this problem for all type of material. Once we save cost estimation in CK11N and when we try execute once again CK11n for the same material system is calculating Cost estimation again without error message and we are not able to Mark & Release the Cost estimation.
Normally the system will not allow to calculate the cost estimation,if the cost estimation has been already calculated.
We have currently changed price control S from V for all type of material to maintain Standard cost from Actual cost.
Do suggest,if we have left out any config settings.
We are facing this issue in production client.
Do revert.

Hi Experts,
I have activated Material Ledger and Actual Costing. After that I tried to do the “Production Startup of Mat. Ledger” (Set Valuation Areas as Productive – CKMSTART) I am getting below error.
Cost component structure for period 007 / 2014 in plant XXXX not found
Message no. MLCCS003
Diagnosis
No cost component structure was found in valuation 2 for period 007 / 2014 in plant XXXX.
I checked the Cost component structure and observed that Cost Component Structure is active and assigned to Plant via Company Code.
I ran the transaction “Display of ML-Relevant Customizing settings – CKM9”. I noticed that it is mentioned that “Currency and Valuation profile” is not active. I have created the Currency and Valuation profile TP01 and have assigned the Currency type 30 and 10 to it.
Please suggest.
Thanks and Regards,
Sudhir HaraleHi Experts,
I deselected the "Actual Cost Component Split Active" check box and observed that “Production Startup of Mat. Ledger (CKMSTART)” is getting executed without error.
But I don’t know the impact of deactivating the "Actual Cost Component Split Active".
Please give your valuable advice.
Thanks for help.

Material Ledger Additional local currencies for company code
Hi Expert,
I would like to add a second local currency in the "Additional local currencies for company code" in order to have 2 currencies available for material ledger. (Material ledger is not yet activated for this company code)
The second local currency must be the group one "30". Could you please tell me wich valuation I have to choose ? 0 1 or 2.
I went on the SAP library but I didn't find something clear. I tried 1 but I have an error message...

Material Ledger Status for exisitng materials change
Hi,
What is the best way to perform material ledger closing entries for pre-existing materials in plant?
I have a plant that already has pre-exisiting materials since 01/2009 or prior, and then we activated material ledger for this plant.
Of course, we then try to run actual costing CKMLCP for these existing materials for period 05/2010, and is errored with
"carry-out period-end closing for materials in previous period" message. I try OSS note 361236 to close out periods that are older than previous period..with the MMPV period shift situation; but is not helping because these materials are already existing, so I can have CKM3 analysis for these materials as far back as 01/2006...as I ran report S_ALR_87013180 to check the period status for all these materials to see how far do i have to go back in terms of period/fiscal yr.
My question is, if there are pre-existing materials active in the plant and then we activated ML, how far do I have to go back to get the CKMLCP done? Or what is the best way to handle such scenarios?
any advice?Hey,
Can you let me know when did you do the ML startup?
At production start, the system automatically sets all materials to price determination control 2, which will not be included in ckmlcp processing.
And when you change the price determination from 2 to 3 via CKMM, the period status will be automatically changed to "new object", for which there's no need to do the period end closing.
Anyway, if your materials is with status 30 for the previous periods, the most convenient solution is to manually set it to 70 for the last period. You may achieve this via program MLHELP_SET_PP_STATUS_70. You only need to do it for the period before last period. Then you can go ahead with the normal period end closing process for the previous period.
Best Regards

Have a error when active Catch Weight Managerment
I have a DEV server ( oracle 10.2 g, SAP ECC 6.0 SR3) with 3 software component : SAP_APPL, SEM-BW, IS-CWM is not the same level. I want to test function Catch Weight Management in client 100 of system and I have two case
Case 1:
I update 3 software component above the same level to active Catch Weight Management with Tcode SFW5 and SPRO -> active OK . But my system is freshly. Therefore, i don't have any configuration to demo -> I don't like this case
Case 2
With purpose to have configuration to demo
I decide to take configuration of client 101 from another DEV system ( this client 101 is actived Material Ledger) by export / import client with Tcode SCC8 and SCC7
Then I import configuration of client 101 into client 100
After import into client 100 successfully and I have a client 100 which configured. Then I active function Catch Weight Management with Tcode SFW5 and SPRO ( I updated 3 software component above the same level too) -> Not Active
-> the system check compatible and have a error :
"Error in component Inventory Accounting (ACC-INV) SEM BW "
"Inventory Accounting cannot be actived : material ledger is actived "
My question : I don't understand above errors while I do right
Please help me on this issue
Thanks in advancehi
To activate catch management there should not abe any stock, and material price should be S and material ledgerr should not be active.
Hope this will help you.. -
General Ledger Special Ledger out of balance *URGENT* Material Ledger???
We've activated Material Ledger in a company code in Jan'07.
Accounting document created because of 102 Movement type FI document looks fine but in Special Ledger document dollars against Group currency are posted to Price Difference account? This is not happening for all 102movement type documents but i couldn't establish the pattern! Any help would be highly appreciated.
Some background:
Company code and Controlling Area both got USD as main currency.
This problem is sporadic and with 102 movement type only.
Materials causing issue got Price control 'S' and Price determination '2"Hi Raghu,
Probably I am mistaken; I was talking about SPL field movements and user exits used there. you can check that through transaction GCB2 where ledger is assigned to a company code and then u can drill down to activity and field movement assigned to the activity and can find if a user exit is used to post to a price difference account.
Let me know if I am talking about relevant stuff here. If it is with SPL then I can help u more.
Thanks,

Material Ledger Actual costing - fully costed BOMs and variance type split
We are in the process of activating material ledger and have 2 user
requirements that we have not yet been able to complete. First, the
difference between standard cost and weighted average cost needs to be
split between the variance types (raw material purchase price, raw
material usage, packaging price, packaging usage, etc.). Secondly we
need a fully exploded cost itemization that supports the weighted
average cost, similar to the costing structure pane in transaction
ck13n.
Do you know of any custom developement that might assist us in these
requirements, or have any information that might help us develop a
process to calculate these values ourselves.
