How to shift valuation class from one material type to another material type ?

I have came across following weird scenario:
We already created huge no.of materials of material type say ZABC with two valuation classes say 1100 and 1200(GL accounts for these VCs for different posting keys in OBYC settings are same). Account category reference for this material type is 0010.
After that we created new material type say ZPQR with new Account category reference 0025, and valuation class 1200 is linked with this ACR 0025. Because of this, valuation class 1200 disappeared from material type ZABC. In order to avoid inconsistency, we need to have valuation class 1200 linked with older material type i.e.ZABC.How we can do this ? What impacts must have happened in this period (from MM/FI) in the system, where valuation class get shifted from one material type(ZABC) to another material type(ZPQR)....please help us in this scenario.

Thanks Sana,
We are also looking for the solution provided by you i.e. reassign ACR 0010 to Valuation class 1200.
Your are also correct in terms of statement "config doesnt allow me to assign same valuation class to 2 different AREF (Account reference number/Account category reference).
I wanted to know, what are the possible impacts in the system during this re-assignment of ACR to old material type ZABC.

Sudarshan.

Cannot change Valuation Class although no Open-PO

Dear Gurus,
I try to change Valuation Class in Material Master but I cannot after I created PO and still after MIGO and MIRO.
We are using PS and Material Master is set as below;
Ind./Coll in MPR4 = 1
Since requirement comes from PS, PO is created with account assignment category Q.
Once we execute MIGO and MIRO for the PO, still we cannot change Valuation Class.
If you know the way to change Valuation Class, would you tell me how?
Best Regards,
AK

Hi,
The change of the valuation class will impact on ML (material ledger), if the ML
is active. Is ML active on your system?
The note 575632 explains partly the effects on CCS. The
valuation class is used to allocate the plan costs to the related cost
element. Therefore, it is advisable to create new materials instead of
changing the valuation class. This would be straight forward and easy to
follow-up. The CCS does not a change history. Consequently, the previous
periods can not be explained with current CCS. That may lead
inconsistencies under circumtances. It is up to your decision. You can
change, test the impact and decide on. The proposed solution of SAP
would be avoiding that change and creating new materials.
When you try to change the valuation class, what is the details of the
error?
In order to change valuation class in the material master, you have to
make sure that none of the following exist in you system:
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
The system checks the stocks (storage loc. stocks and special
stocks) of the same period in which the valuation class will be changed.
If the valuation class of current period will changed, check in
transaction code MMBE for zero stocks, or in SE16: MARD/MBEW;
MCHB/MKOL/MSKA/MSKU/MSLB/MSPR.
The system checks all dependant purchase documents without delete flag
and error M3368 occurs when it finds at least one non deleted po item
(not only when stocks exist).
1. First be sure that no stocks exist in current AND previous period!
   see note 30656, with an example how to get zero stocks.
2. SE16 ->table EKPO. Select all po items of the related material.
   If you found items with LOEKZ <> 'L', you have to delete them in ME22
3. SE16 ->table AFPO. Select all items of the related material/plant.
   If you find at least one item, change of val.clss. is not possible.
   You have to these production order(s) !
These hard restrictions are necessary as inconsistencies in account
assignment will follow after change of val.class, when proceeding
follow up functions of a PO item before and after changing valuation
class. Also attached is 146241.
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.
Please refer to note 160970 for more information.
I hope this will help you in resolving the reported issue.

Changing Valuation Class of Material

I want to change the valuation class of a material, if i do, what effect will it have on open PO's and schedule agreements. How do I change it if there are open PO's for this material.
Thank you.

You can chage the valuation class if no stock or no document exist for that material. Actually valuation class is assigned with the GL with the help of material type. So if at all you want to change the valuation class make sure that no document or stock exist for the PO moreover you have to follow the following steps for that
go to MM02 -- enter material --- select the view accounting 1 then click on previous per/year and their make the necessary change to change the valuation class for the material
Hope this will help you
regards

Change Valuation class

We have a need to change the valuation class of the material master with tcode MM02, and the material has a lot of open Purchase Orders and Sales orders, and many batches created for this material. This material use by many countries, and we cannot replace it with a new material number for my plant.
System issue message Valaution class cannot be changed because of a lot of open doc and batches exists, in this situation how to change the Valuaiton class, it will be quite impossible to delete all those open doc and batches. ?? What can we do in order to change the valuaiton class of the material master MM02.??

Hi,
You have to eliminate those problems that is reported by SAP.
E.g.:
- no stock in current and previous period has to exist (eliminate stock: MB1A201posting date in the past; reset stock level: MB1A+202)
- transactional data has to be deleted
- if there are goods movement in current period you have to cancel all of them or you have to wait till the first day of the next period
If you want to change valuation category as well, you have to archive batch master records.
This is not an easy thing to do, you may face several difficulties...
Mass transaction can be used if you have several transactional data to delete (check transaction MASS)
You can search for threads on this forum or for OSS notes too.

Valuation class in the material master

hi all, we maintain split valuation materials, namely domestic & imported. we are working on project based scenarion planning strategy 21 : MTO/project.
in daily practice user convert unrestricted stock to project stock with 412 Q mvt type before MRP RUN.
but for some when user try to convert stock following error occurs. I check stock available, it is available. but i do not understand why this error comes.
Maintain the valuation class in the material master first
Message no. M7232
Diagnosis
The system found that you have defined your own valuation classes for sales order stock and project stock in Customizing. However, these valuation classes have not been maintained in the material master record for the materials concerned.
Procedure
So that the relevant accounts can be posted upon goods movements, you have to maintain the valuation classes for sales order and project stock in the accounting view of the material master record for the material concerned.
If you have authorization to do so, you can change the material master record.

Hi,
The normal valuation stock refer to relevant table valuation class field MBEW/MBEWH-BKLAS
Special Sales Stock refert to MBEW/MBEWH-EKLAS
Projeck Stock refer to MBEW/MBEWH-QKLAS

Changing Valuation Class

Hi,
we have a material which we need to change the valuation class ASAP. when trying to change it shows a created STO (Stock transport Order) and have transferred materials against that STO using Mvt.type 351.
When trying to cancel this transfer document, it cannot be done because it is posted for last period which is already closed(using MMPV).
Is there a way to change the val. Class of the material.
Pls advice .
Cheers
Anushka

Hi,
To Change the Valuation class of the material, first of all you need to do following-
1. GR for full open quantity is done.
2. LIV is done for planned delivery cost as well as goods and services.
3. Full Vendor settlement is done both for Goods as well as delivery cost vendors.
4. All stocks are consumed and there is no stock balance.
Once the valuation class is changed, during G/L account determination it will determine the new G/L account instead of the old one.
In case you still want to have some posting on the basis of the previous G/L account, you need to do the same based on manual Journal Vouchers.
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. For more see note 30656 & 146241
[Set your stock to u20180u2019 both in previous and in current period. (use MB1A201 with posting date in the previous period to eliminate your stock; via MB1A202 you can reset your stock level after the material master change) .If you've had material movements in this period for your material it may be very difficult to set the stock to u20180u2019 because you should cancel all goods movements. In this case you'd better wait till the end of the month: set the stock to u20180u2019 on the last day of May > change on first day of June > reset stock level on the first day of June]
