Hi
GL account is not mentioned in the material masters. The Valuation class is mentioned in the material masters. From transaction code OBYC you need to maintain the GL account against the Valuation classes. This is done for different "Transaction Key", for example "BSX" is the transaction key for inventory postings and "WRX" for GR/IR Clearing account posting. B/S accounts should be attached to this BSX key. As a result of this following account entry will be generated by the system at the time of GR:
Inventory GL Dr.
GR/IR Clearing Cr.

Purchase order without material master

I wanna create purchase order for a material that does not have a material master record.
is it possible to create it without entering account assignment? because i wanna buy it for an storage location and an sloc does not have any G/L account

Hi
You need to show purchase cost in some GL account. System recognises GL account through material master or material group with account assignment combination. Without these two you cannot identify to which account postings should happen. Assign a valuation class to a material group in OMWQ and assign a GL account to valuation class in GBB - VBR for automatic picking of GL account in purchase order. However you can overwrite this GL account as per the requirement.
Thanks

-ve price change in Moving average Price of Material in Material Master.

Dear All,
Kindly guide on below issue.
We have a Material e.g A which stock was available in System let us say 10 qty & the Price per unit was Rs.10. But in last August some users chagned the price to Rs.5 because of whcih the Valuation in previous period has become negative.
Now I have to rectify this. Now please tell me how can I do so.
Also Note: there are sevral other Movements have happened since then i.e. GR, IR, Consumption for Production etc.
This is very important.
Regards,

For negative MAP , there are steps which are given in SAP note 356757. Follow this steps to overcome this issue.
The notes goes as...
Summary
Symptom
When you try to post an invoice for the purchase order, the system generates error message M8783: 'Moving average price for material & & & is negative'.
Additional key words
MRHR, MR1M, MIRO, MMVAL, M8783
Cause and prerequisites
You posted a valuated goods receipt for a purchasing document for a material with moving average price control.When the invoice was posted (invoice item with price variance for goods receipt), the system generates error message M8783: 'Moving average price for material & & & is negative'.
Between the posting of the original goods receipt and the entry of the invoice, the system already posted additional valuation-relevant transactions/events (goods movements, invoices and so on, can be displayed with Transaction MR51).
The invoice verification tries (for stock coverage) to credit/subsequently debit the difference between the value of goods received and invoice item value for the stock.However, the material total value must not become negative by this stock posting.
Solution
Before you post the invoice, you must first increase the stock value.
The amount by which the stock value must be increased at least can be calculated from the following values:
1. Transaction MM03, accounting view material master, field 'Total value' (MBEW-SALK3)
2. Invoice item value according to invoice
3. In the invoice verification (Transaction MR01, MR1M, MIRO), change the invoice item amount to a value which is high enough and simulate the invoice to receive the value which would be posted for this item to the GR/IR account.
In the invoice verification, the value (3) minus (2) is posted to stock. It must be larger than (1).Post a subsequent debit with the amount (3) + (1) - (2) for the affected material/plant (Transaction MR22).
You can post the invoice afterwards.

Current period in Accounting 1 view of Material Master

Dear Experts,
In Accounting 1 view of Material Master there is a current period, now it is 12 2009.
Is it possible to make it 11 2009, if yes how to do it.
Please help if you have solution. it is very crucial for me.
Thank you for your support.

Zusen

Hi,
Please read the Solution part of note 487381. There is still a few things need to be carry out before you can proceed
with the initialization :
Bear in mind that the initialization of a posting period has the
following effects concerning the period stocks:
    o The initialization of the posting period to a previous or to any
       posting period may lead to the loss of the information of the
       inventory balances of the previous periods.The book value of the
       current posting period is taken as the basis also for values of
       the previous period in this case.
       If you want to continue working with this new posting period, in
       addition you should execute report Z_DEL_HIST_ENTRIES attached so
       that history entries greater or equal to the new posting period
       will be deleted.
    o If you have to briefly reset the posting period by one period
       (for example, postings must still be posted in a certain period)
       just to make a correction (and for a small number of postings),
       you should initialize the posting period back again to the old
       value so that the values of the previous period will not be lost
       (you should forbid postings when carrying out corrections).
       However, afterwards the values of the previous period or the
       history records (as of Release 4.5) of the materials posted in
       this case are inaccurate.
       You should NOT execute report Z_DEL_HIST_ENTRIES in this case.
    o However, if the posting period is generally reset again to a
       previous posting period and if postings were made during this
       time, all information on the inventory balance of the previous
       periods is lost.
       As of Release 4.5a, you should use the cited correction report
    Z_DEL_HIST_ENTRIES in order to delete history records that are
    more current than the current posting period.Otherwise, it can
    result in deviations (inconsistencies) for the update of the
    history records.
o Important! If there are open physical inventory documents that
    have status 'counted' or for which indicator 'Freeze inventory
    balance' has been set, you should reject these if they refer to a
    previous period or have been created in the former previous
    period.The inventory difference to be posted can be determined
    from the current book value of the previous period and the book
    quantity frozen in the physical inventory document (ISEG-BUCHM)
    and does not match the inventory balance of the previous period
    that is currently valid.

Split GR/IR accounts by Valuation Class (PO without material master)

Hi Experts,
I've an issue here, when I'm tried to do GR posting (PO without material master), system doesnt able to post GRIR account by valuation class.
Scenario: PO issue without masterial number, enter description and with material group.
In the configuration, I've configure "Entry aids for item without material master", assign material group "Asset" and material group "Services" into 2 different clearing account. However, when GR posting, system prompt error message and not able to do posting.
Kindly advice.

Yes , you can post to different GR/IR accounts based on the valuation class . In OBYC for WRX , you can choose your rules . In the Rules , select valuation class . Then the system will allow you to choose different GR/IR accounts for each valuation class .
During the GR , the system will pick the corresponding GR/IR account based on the material grp valuation class .
Regards,
Hari.

Problem with Accounting view in Material Master

Hi,
One of the material master does not have the accounting view and the costing views attached to it. When trying to extend the views thru MM01, the system shows the following message -
Material already maintained for this Transaction/event
What we understood is that the views were already extended earlier but still does not show up.
Any help extended is highly appreciated.
Regards,
Mike
Edited by: Michael Gerard Leo on Mar 10, 2009 4:35 PM

Hi,
After we extended the accounting view in MM01 for a particular plant and saved it, we are not able to view it through MM02 or MM03.
Again, if we try to extend the view for the same plant in MM01, the system gives an error message that it is already extended.
Any reasons why the accounting views are not showing up in MM02 and MM03.

Mike

Different GL Account for WRX - based on Valuation Class (No Material Master

Hi Gurus,
My scenario is as given below.
1. We do not have any Material Master. We create short text PO's with account assignment category "P".
2. We are also using Material Group in our PO. We have one Material Group for Domestic Purchases (say M1) and another Material Group (say M2) for Import Purchases.
3. We have assigned valuation class say 3100 for Material Group M1 and valuation class 3101 for Material Group M2.
4. Our plant is say RBUP and our valuation grouping code is say 0001 which is assigned to the same plant.
Objective:
While doing MIGO we want to have different GR/IR Account for domestic purchases say 108 and different GR/IR account for import purchases say 109.
Issue:
1. In OBYC setting GR/IR account is picked from transaction key WRX.
2. Our entries in WRX are as given below for our Chart Of Accounts say DMN.
Valuation Modifier Valuation Class GL Account
0001 108
0001 3100 108
0001 3101 109
3. But even when i am creating the PO with Material Group M2, it is not picking the GR/IR account 109, based on the valuation class i.e. 3101 which is assigned to the Material Group M2.
Query:
1. How can I achieve my objective of selecting GR/IR Account 109 for Import PO's and GR/IR Account 108 for Domestic PO's.
Pl note we will not be maintain material master.
Will give full 10 points if anyone can help me reslove this issue.
Pl also do not waste any of your valuable time to address the account assignments for BSX or GBB-VBR. I am fully aware that in VBR this differentiation is possible.
Rgds,
Prasad.

I suggest you to create a Dummy Materials. Lets say,
material number: 1001
enter material description as Domestic
material number: 1002
enter material description as Imports
and in OBYC for GBB
make the following settings:
val grp      gen mod    val cla      gl a/c dr     gl a/c cr
0001     VBR     4000     74180040     74180040
0001     VBR     4001     78020091     78020091
so that when u create PO u can get default GL (consumption GL ) for the material (u can use the same for material group also) and u can maintain WRX acc determination as follows ..
val grp   val cla    gl a/c dr   gl a/c cr
0001      4000     123456     123456
0001      4001     456789     456789
Thus u need to create 2 different valuation class for these material group specific and in PO while entering the text u can add the text which is displayed along with material description
hope this helps

Period change is not appearing in accounting view of material master

Hello SAP lovers
As we know once we close the period with MMPV, Latest perion appeared in material master --> Accounting view.
Now period open is March 2007 for a company code. It is expected that material created in all the plants assigned to same company code should display latest period in accounting view. This is happening for all thousands of material in system but i found 1 material which is displaying the period as Nov 2006.
I have doubled check that this material is created for the same plant which is assgned to the company code for which Mar2007 is open....
Anybody ......Any clue......
Best Regards
Avinash

Hello Mani
I have already checked all the open items.....
No sale order. No entry in table MSEG.
Only one PO without GR.....So that should not make any difference.

Accounting & costing view in the material master

hi
my client wanted to block the accounting & costing view in the material master for the end users
what i need to do

Hi,
You can (Authorization material master by views of accounting & costing ) achieve this by way of authorization control. In transaction PFCG, select your role for creating / changing the material master. Select option Maintenance statuses. Then at change status option select views that you want to give the authorization to the users. Create profile & save the role. Now assign the role to the users. They will get only those views you have selected. You have to select those views in all the roles related to material master (create, change, display).Better Consult Basis Consultant,

Error in Account Assignment from Material Master to Sale Invoice.

Dear Gurus,
Pls guide me to resolve this problem:
When i am generating Sales Invoice through vf01, system taking Material Assignment Group as 04, but in material Master assignment Group is 03. Due to this system unable to post accounting document.
Every time user changing that material assignment group through VF02 and saving to post account document ( after changing system posting FI doc).
How system take Material Assignment Group in Sale Invoice. Till now i am checking only Material master. Wht are the other parameters to define Material Assignment group in Sales invoice. <b>This is happending to particular one material only</b>
Pls guide me.
Regards,
Venkat

Hi
While you define account assignment in TCode VKOA, you have a provision for defining the gl accounts in the combination of the following:
1. Cust.Grp/MaterialGrp/AcctKey
2. Cust.Grp/Account Key
3. Material Grp/Acct Key
4. General
5. Acct Key
When you save an invoice it searches in the above order to find a GL account.
May be your setting would have been done only in 1st or 3rd ie., assining the GL account in the combination of Cust.Grp/MaterialGrp/AcctKey and GL Account. Hence if the combination doesn't, it would not generate the accounting document.
If your business process agrees you can define gl account in Account key (4) or General (5) also, by which it would generate an accounting document even if it finds a wrong material group.

Suraj

Account assignment on material master

Hello. I have to include the field account assignment (T163K - KNTTP) on material master...
The main goal is indicate if a material is asset or not...
How can I proceed to do this?
Thanks, Camila.

Hi dear,
1) You can create separate material type for Asset.
2) You can create material group for the Asset assign material group when you are creating new material code for Asset.
If you choose any of the above option then in MM60 as Material Type and Material Group both are displayed and you can easily identify the ASSET.

Error with Valuation Category in Accounting 1 Tab of Material Master

Dear All,
I have created plant and also activated the "Split Activation" for that plant through SPRO-MM-Valuation & A/c Assignment ---Split valuation.
But when i Extend the material form another plant the "Valuation Category" field in Accounting 1 Tab of Material Master becomes INACTIVE (i.e. it becomes gray). Where as for the plant (from which i am copying the material) the same field is ACTIVE.
Please suggest me what might be the error.
I have checked the setting for both the plants i.e. in which it is working and the other where it is not working. The settings are same.
Please help.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Shailendra
If this is for a single material.
I hope u r using MM01 only by giving reference of existing mat., in this case, at this stage only you have to maintain Valuation Category.
Once the material is created, the field will become gray.
This is what I know. If still, there is any way to make this field active, if u come to know, please let me know too.
