*How to change the Valuation Category & Price control in material master*

Hello SAP Gurus,
I have a requirement to change the valuation category from 'X' to '  ' in accounting view of material master.
-> I have cancelled all the open PO's & SO's for the material
-> I have ensured that there is no stock for the material in that valuation area.
But still I get an error message that batch already exists for the material. When I check entries in MCHB I find that there are previous entires in MCHB with zero stock.
I have gone through the SAP note 155874 which recomends the archiving the effected objects.
Please let me know is there any work around to change the valuation category from 'X' to '  ' & price control 'V' to 'S'. I also need to change from '  '  to 'X' for a few materials.
Thanks for your advise.
Best Regards,
Narayan.

Note 155874 cleary describes what has to be done to be able to change.
There is no workaround, and if you change anything in the tables directly, then this will cause inconsitencies, as described in this note as well.

  • Price control in material master.

    Dear all,
    How can i change the Price control key(V to S) in material master.
    and what are the implication after change the price control.
    Please suggest.
    Regards,
    Vishal Garg

    Hello
    In the SAP System, there are two types of price control:
    Standard price & Moving average price.
    These two types of price control differ in how they handle price variances resulting from goods receipts or invoice receipts.
    Changing the Type of Price Control
    Under certain conditions, you can change the type of price control:
    From standard price to moving average price
    You can make this change at any time. The moving average price (which until now has been updated for informational purposes only) replaces the standard price and is used for valuation from now on.
    From moving average price to standard price
    You cannot make this change in the following two cases:
    If the material master record is set up as a valuation header record for a material subject to split valuation
    If the standard price comes from costing and is not equal to the moving average price
    If the change is possible, the moving average price becomes the standard price, which is then used for valuation.
    You change the type of price control by overwriting the price control indicator in the material master record with the new indicator.
    Changing the type of price control for a material does not change the value of the material stock, since in both cases the current price becomes the new price.
    An example is given below:
    Standard price to Moving average price
    Material A
    Price control: S
    Moving average Price: 8
    Standard Price: 10
    Total Stock: 100
    Total Stock value: 1000
    Now we change the material price control to 'V'. Then
    Material A
    Price control: M
    Moving average price:10
    Standard price: 10
    Total Stock: 100
    Total Stock value: 1000
    Moving average to standard price
    Material B
    Price control: V
    Moving average Price: 8
    Standard Price: 0
    Total Stock: 100
    Total Stock value: 800
    Now we change the material price control to 'S'. Then
    Material B
    Price control: S
    Moving average price:8
    Standard price: 8
    Total Stock: 100
    Total Stock value: 800
    Hope this will clear your doubts.

    Regards
    chandrashekhar

    hi chandra
    do the following activities
    create refurbishment order for 5 pumps
    goods issue against the order
    make the valuation category in the material(MM02)
    create valuation type E1,E2,E3 in accounting view of material master (MM01)
    cancel the goods issue using MB1A and MVT type 262 now specify the batch as E3
    lock the refurbishment order for further prociessing
    Create new refubishment order and do the remaining process
    this process i have worked out and find successful .just try it
    since for activating the split valuation the stock should be ZERO you have to use this awkard way

  • Change of price control in material master

    Hi, SAP experts,
    We have  business scenario where the procurement type in MRP-2 view of material master gets changed from F to  E that is an externally procured item will be manufactured inhouse.
    In such case in costing view the price control needs to be changed from V to S. If both MAP & std. price  are not identical, system is not allowing to change. Secondly since the item will be manufactured inhouse from now onwards, I have to run the cost estimate & update the master.
    How do I deal with the situation.
    Valuable advice is awaited.
    Regds
    T.S.Shankar

    Hi Shankar,
    When the price control indicator is "V", system will allow changing the Standard price manually through Transaction code MM02.
    Similarly when the price control indicator is "M", system will allow changing the Moving average price manually through Transaction code MM02.
    Hope this clarifies

  • How to change the standard category thumbnails?

    This month I upgraded to PE6. I don't like the dark gray background and miss some of the features I got used to, but I can live with that. On the other hand, I extremely disliked the standard category thumbnails for places, people, events and other. Why on earth did Adobe change the appealing thumbnails for those categories in PE4? The present ones are dull and because I can't make anything of the fine details in the new thumbnails I keep forgetting what they stand for.
    So far I have made several attempts to revert to the old thumbnails. I replaced the *.png picture files in the shared_assets\bitmaps\tag_palette with the old picture files (which are, by the way, present in the same directory, as "legacy" files). Didn't make any difference.
    The second attempt was to add the old picture files to the shared_assets\caticons directory. They then appeared in PE6 as possible alternate choices for the thumbnails. I changed all four categories. Took some time, but it worked. However, next time I started PE6, everything was back to the original situation. Heavy sigh... Where does PE6 hide the new stupid thumbnails??

    There's something about those legacy icons that's built-in to PSE 6. Here's a recipe that worked for me:
    - Copy shared_assets\bitmaps\LegacyCatIcon_People.png to shared_assets\caticons\MyPeople.png.
    - Invoke the full editor on MyPeople.png and change one pixel to a slightly different color.
    - Save MyPeople.png.
    - Edit the People category and select the icon for MyPeople.png.
    - Restart PSE 6 Organizer.

  • Moving average price as price control in material master: Erroneous entries

    Dear All,
    Recently we did a price control change from standard price to moving average price for one of our clients and scenario testing was done. We came across the following issue at the IR point and this error occur  time to time ( not for all POs )Following steps were followed
    Scenario
    1. Create a PO for 1000 Kg of material A @ 1USD
    2.GR the purchase order- at this point correct values are passed to stock account
    3.consumed 250 Kg from the above material and from the same batch- correct values are passed to the accounts correctly
    4.invoice verification is done for the above PO with a price variance of 100 USD. The error occur at this time ( some times )
    Correct entry:
    Dr GR/IR account 1000
    Dr Stock account 75 (Price variance is charged proportionately charge to the balance stock)
    Dr price variance 25 (Price variance is charged proportionately on the consumed stock)
    Cr Vendor 1100
    But sometimes the value does not pass accurately for the same PO. Accounting entries are as follows.
    ( this is same scenario with new purchase order with different master records )
    Dr GR/IR account 1000
    Dr Stock account 100 (Total price variance is charged to the stock account and its incorrect this should be only 75 as explain above )
    Cr Vendor 1100
    This error occurs sometimes even though the vendor master record and purchase orders are sand same as the time of pass correct entries  . All these time GR based invoice verification tick has activated in PO as well as vendor master .
    Appreciate your advice.

    Thank you for the information. But this is not the  system behavior , system proportionately add the price variance to the stock qty which is remaining in the stock also it proportionately charge the price variance to the price variance account which is consumed before the invoice verification.But time to time it passes the incorrect entries.
    eg , Create a PO for 100KG @ 1USD
           GR                     100KG
           Consumed           25
          IR , here we IR at higher value than the PO price
         PO value is USD 100
        IR    value    USD 100 + 12 = 112
    Correct IR entry : Vendor              CR    112
                                 GR/IR                 Dr    100
                                 Stock                 DR      8 ( 75% of the stk is reaming in stk so relevant variance is USD 8 )  
                                 Price variance   DR      4  ( 25% of the consumed , so relevant variance is USD 4 )
    And this is accurate with accounting principles and standards .
    Actually system correctly calculate the above entries  . but some times it pass the incorrect entry , this is my issue.
    In the  erroneous entry it does not segregate the price variance , If we consider the same scenario as above at the time of erroneous entry the system pass entries as below:
                                Vendor              CR    112
                                 GR/IR                 Dr    100
                                 Stock                 DR     12 ( add 100% which is incorrect )
    This is incorrect .

  • How to change the default currency in CJ32 and CJ33

    Could any one help me? Points will be awarded.
    Thank you.

    Hi Christiana ,
    Once you are in tcode CJ30 / CJ32 , Enter either Project definition or WBS element and this shall take you to the Budget screen and once you are here you can find a drop down with two options .One is Controlling are currency and the other one is Object currency.
    Since the Currency is set to Object currency in OPS9, System shall allow the budget values in Object currency and if the user wants to see the same values in Controlling are currency ,then the user needs to view the values in Controlling are currency using the drop down .

  • How to change the layout of a category view

    I don't know how to change the layout of a category. I want to put 3 image's behind each other followed by some text, like a table with 4 columns. Instead of puting then in 4 rows

    larsprevo
    The category 'view' of items/folders uses the default style of the content area it is defined in (shared categories use the default shared style). Edit the default style to change the font/color of the items/folders returned within the category 'view'. Unfortunately, you don't have the ability to control the layout(like folder regions) - they always display in rows.
    Added an enhancement request for a feature that would allow you to control the display of items/folders in a category/perspective: 1828423

  • How can we change the valuation type for a material created.

    How can we change the valuation type for a material created.
    Note : All open orders are closed for this material.3
    Please guide

    Hi,
    You can change valuation class, or you can set valuation category for your material master. If valuation category is set you can extend your material master and in this way creating records for different valuation types.
    Please try to set the desired changes in your mmr (MM02) > save > SAP will give you error message > push 'Display error' button and you will see what conditions must be eliminated to carry out the change.
    - you are not allowed to have open transactional data
    - no stock in the current and previous period (using proper posting date in MB1A + 201 you can reduce your stock level to 0, and after that you can set it back by MB1A + 202)
    - in case of valuation category setting batch archiving may be necessary

  • How to change the size of control´s prompt?

    No matter the size of data to be displayed in the view suface prompt, the controls have the same size.
    Does anyone here know how to change the size of control in surface prompt?

    HI,
    In order to change the size of a radio button... one way you may consider is to Customise the Radio Button.
    Place a Radio Button (RB) on the FP of a VI, Right-Click the RB > Advanced > Customise...
    Click the Mode Button (most Left button) for Edit Mode
    Right-click the radio button (the round image) now, you will see a list of actions i.e. Copy to clipboard, import picture ...You will see Four images under the 'Picture Item', those are the images that you will need to replace.
    Prepare Four Images of the similar but larger expected size
    *** Copy the 1st new image to clipboard. Back to the Picture Item and select 1st image. Then, select Import Picture (to replace the existing image)
    Repeat *** for all four images.
    Once done, change the mode back to original. Save the *.ctl
    You are now ready to use the customised radio button!
    Quick sample attached (sorry for the poor images created )
