Error in material ledger closing entry (message number KE396)

Hi friend
i met a problem in material ledger closing entry ,the message number is KE396
after checked some transaction data and master data ,i find that some one change the division in material master during the period and change back to the the old division during the period ,the division is one of the characteristic in copa ,System will check the derivation via material master when we run the material ledger closing,so it went error and said the Inconsistency between a document field and the prof. segment number
Then i use KE26 to repost the COPA line item ,but it also went error when i run the material ledger closing entry
can you tell me how to solve this issue
thanks

Hi,
Please raise an OSS message as this is a program error.
Momentarily you can try the following:
1. Do not select option "Set CO Account Assignment" in Post Closing.
2. If the above action does not resolve the error, then force close the material and then run the Post Closing. Surely this is not an ideal situation and must be adopted if there are only very few materials.

How to reverse material ledger closing entries beyond previous period?

In a test system, the system does not permit reverse material ledger closing entries. The current period is 04/2008.
Getting a message C+716 message
You want to cancel closing entries in valuation area XXXX for period 008 in fiscal year 2007.
You are allowed to cancel closing entries only in the previous period. Reversing closing entries for periods before the previous period is not possible.
There are provision to run closing entries like MUST_SETTLE in the ok code features, Are there,any such for reversal? Could there be any work-around?

Hi David
If you dont need to perform the close itself but would just like to get the periods in the correct status you can use the process outlined in note 645083.
In the material ledger, it may be necessary for different reasons to manually set the period status of materials in former periods to 70 ("Closing Entry Completed") without actually carrying out the closing entry.
It provides program Z_ML_SET_PP_STATUS_70 that will allow a manual update to the prior period status.
There is a pre-requisite regarding revaluation amounts, but this is all described in the notes.

Material Ledger Closing Entry Missing

Dear Experts,
WE have implemented material ledger for Actual Costing. During the material ledger activities (CKMLCP)for the month of March, system showed an error message that "Clsoging entries are not posted for Previous Month" and proces of march was also terminated. AS the Material period for February and March are closed, the way out for closing of material ledger for the month of April without error (after posting the closing entries for March) may please be informed.
Thanking You
with regards

Hi MK,
ML is very rigid.. you have to complete the steps every month.. other wise ML documents have impact ...
You have to open previous period and get it done.. no way out..

Material Ledger Closing entries

Hi Group
I would like to know how SAP determines below text at the time of Material ledger closing. By example I could make it out but I want standard document or somewhere in system I can see how this determines.
EBPRD: Single-level pr. diff. beginning inventory
EBPRV: Multi-level pr. diff. beginning inventory
VNPRD: Offset against single-level price diff.
EBPRD: Write off single-level price differences
EBPRV: Write off multi-level price differences
VNPRV: Offset against multi-level price diff.
ZUPRV: Price differences from previous levels
Best regards,
Amit

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.

Material Ledger Closing

Dear Gurus,
While material ledger closing using CMKLCP,i need clarification for the following process.
1. Single/level
2. Multilevel.
3. Revaluation of Consumption
4. WIP Calculation
5.Post closing
6. Price update.
can anyone explain about the above process outcome, what is the difference between material ledger WIP Calculation and Production order WIP Calculation.
While price update for price control material S, we need to re run cost estimate or it will update the new prices.
Appriciated for valuable inputs.
Ramesh.

Hi Ramesh .
Hope you understand clearly the purpose of standard costing and why we use Material Ledger .
Standard Costing is based on a pre-determined /derived prices for a period/year and all costs are caputed on the basis of the standard Cost . Goods Issues/Receipt , consumption all are at standard cost.
COGS GL Account is at standard and all the inventories are at standard ..
Difference between standard and actual costs are captured as variances in different GL Account . Mainly we have two variances... price variances ( at the time of purchases ) and usage variances at the time of production ..
Material Ledger is a seperate module.. where it calculates the actual costs . Variances are rolled back to the consumption accounts ( which is at standard ) to derive the actual cost . Actual Cost = Standard Cost + Variances .
1. Now Finished Material is made of Raw Material and Semi-Finished Goods . ...When we calculate the actual costs of finished product .. we can find out the actual costs of raw materials and semi-finished goods. ML will find out the actual cost of raw material , semi-finished goods and finished goods. This concept is know as multi-level determination ... In Single level.. only one level of material cost is computed as actual.. not rolled back to the lowest level.
2. Revaluation of consumption during ML run means .. the COGS ( which was at standard earlier) is now being revaluted and becomes actual..
3. WIP Calculation calculates the WIP costs on actual.
4. Post Closing Step will put the new GL entries.. where variances will be nullified and COGS and inventory will become actual.
5. Price Update is optional.. you can make the actual costs computed as standard cost for the next month..
Production Order WIp Calculation = Actual Qty X Standard Rate
ML WIP Calculation = Actual Qty x Actual Rate
Please revert back for any further clarifications

Material Ledger - Closing Postings

Dear Material Ledger Experts,
I need to clear my concepts regarding Material Ledger Closing Postings :
Standard Price of Finished Goods : $10
Produced Units via Process Order: 1000 Units
Variance Settled to P&L Accounts : $1 Per Unit
P.G.I Units : (300 Units)
By the end of the month, I have executed end to end Material Ledger Closing Run and it updates all materials involved in the production of Finished Goods:
Date : 30.06.2014 (End of Month)
Raw Material Inventory : Increased.
Packing Material Inventory: Increased.
Revaluation of COGS of 300 Units : Increased.
Date : 01.07.2014 (Start of Next Month)
Raw Material Inventory : Decreased.(by the same amount)
Packing Material Inventory: Decreased.(by the same amount)
System updates Inventory held which is 700 units as well as inventory sold which is 300 units.
Now my cause of concern is regarding revaluation of COGS of 300 units sold on which already variances were calculated at the time of process order settlement:
Variance Settlement @ Process Order Settlement : 1$ X 300 Units.
Revaluation of COGS at month end : 1$ X 300 Units (again)
Which causes duplication of cost on P&L Accounts.
Please guide me regarding this issue and work around to solve this
Thanks in Advance !
Regards,
Zain Bashir

Dear Bulut,
At the time of variance settlement, following entries were posted :
Production Efficiency Variance (Dr) <P&L>
Inventory Change (Cr) <P&L>.
and at the time of COGS Revaluation, following entries were posted :
COGS (Dr) <P&L>
Material Ledger Clearing Account (Cr) <P&L>

Zain Bashir

Material ledger - closing prior periods

We have a need (currently in development environment) where material ledger closing is not in sync with material period closing. Is there a way to "catch up" the material ledger. this is in a development environment only at this point. Basically, does anyone know how to close a material ledger period for more than 1 month back in history. e.g. curr period 1/2009 prev period 12/2008 ..like to close for periods prior to 12/2008

Hi David
If you dont need to perform the close itself but would just like to get the periods in the correct status you can use the process outlined in note 645083.

CKMLCP Material ledger closing

Hi,
We are doing closing entries for material ledter. After executing all the steps, when we are checking the detail of materials in VIEW of CKMLCP, it looks for some of the material the Closing entry doesn't took plance
All the other activities like WIP & consumption revalution are done, but for many of the materials the closing entry not processed by the system.
So if we are going to CKMI and then processing some of the materails it is performing the closing where as the materials which are of multileve nature for them the system is not processing. Do we need to uncheck the WIP & Consumption revaluation option and also what are the possibliities that system could not consider the materails for closing...
Regards.....

Hi...
You can avoid this problem by changing Price control from 'S' to 'V' and Indicator from '3' to '2'. However you should know the business requirement. If moving average price is serve the material valuation you can change.

Material ledger accounting entries

Dear All,
i need material ledger related all accounting entries. I am confused with some entries.please do the needful urgent.
regards
K S Rangarajan

Hi
Material ledger/Actual costing updates the MM master at actual costs at period end.
Let us give an accounting entry by way of an example
Beginning inventory= 10 KG at $10= $100
Goods receipt=15 kg at $11          = $165
Total value         25 KG at $265 (unit price =10.60)
However Inventory is valued at $250 because of Price control indicator S, thus there is a price difference (Dr) of $15
On revaluation at period end, Dr Inventory $15
                                           Cr Price difference $15
This is a simple case. Add to that exchange fluctuations, Invoice value resulting in price difference, etc. Assume a Goods issue of 12KG in the same period, it will be initially valued at $10, however on material price determination, this price difference of $0.60 per unit is assigned to consumption as well.
Hope you understand better

Any Material locked for transactions due to errors in Material Ledger?

We are implementing Material Ledger for actual costing purpose. After ML implemention, will there be any situation due to errors in costing run, or otherwise, that the material is locked for any further transaction? Is such kind of threat exists under any situation?
Sanjay

Dear Sanjay,
I don't think you will face any problem after succesfully completion of actual cost run.
Situation can be totally opposite...I mean to say while costing run you might face problem of material locking.
There could be problem if transaction in material is happening and same time cost run is going on. or if cost run is going on and the same time somebody is trying any transaction.
It is always suggested to run cost cycle in the night or lock the user id's while cost run.

Material Ledger Closing Error - Msg

Hi All,
please share your inputs on how to overcome the below error.
Background:
I have activated ML with price detrmination indicator as 2 and actual costing.
All finished and semi finished goods will be valuated with Std price with indicator as 3 in material master.
All raw materials will have V price with price indicator as 2.
Basically we only want to report or revaluate the production differences at multi level to post to final component.
Now when I am trying to do Transaction CKMLCP in the new period I was able to run all steps successfully. But while doing the Post closing step I am getting the below error.
Debit/credit indicator is inconsistent
Message no. F5846
+Diagnosis+
+The debit/credit indicator "H" was transferred to item "0000000002" of the FI/CO document. However, a debit/credit indicator of "" was derived because of posting key "".+
+The transferred posting key and transferred debit/credit indicator are inconsistent.+
I have checked few SAP notes like 53694
18499.
Request anyone to pass on valuable inputs on how to overcome this problem.
Thanks,

Hi Karl,
Thanks a lot.
Here is my exact problem.
After doing the costing run and closing steps systme has updated the peridic unit price for the last period and changed the price control as V in the mateial master. This is fine as per my understanding.
1.The next step I understand is to mark and release the periodic unit price as standard price of the next month thru CKMPRPN. Is this correct?
2. System will revaluate the closing inventory of the previous month at the end of csoting run and posts accounting document for the same.? Is this correct?
3. I am not sure what are all keys in OBYC are relevant for ML postings though I have set PRV and PRY , UMB. I dont want to use LKW as no provisions are allowed here.
kindly clarify.
Thanks,
Vamsi

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.

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.
