In accounting tab, The valuation category is looking grey - Materail exten

I extended the material to a new plant, But i see a field in gray(Valuation category) in Accounting tab in MM01 or MM02
I can see values in the field.
How do i make active, so that, i can enter a valuation category.
- Sudhir Krishna Kumar Singh

Hi Sudhir,
You can not have different Valuation Categories for the same material.
you can have different Valuation Types, that you can maintain with the T-Code MM01.
and when you are creating valuation types, just check that in the MM60 you can see same material more then once, one of them will be w/o Valuation Type and others will have Valuation Types.
Hope it helps you.

*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.

Change GL account for the valuation class

Hi,
Currently I have a valuation class SUPP which is assign to GL account 14800, now the customer have the request to change it to GL account 14100. There is an option to change it in Config OBYC, but there are a lot of materials involved and a lot of material cost that exist is booked under GL account 14800. Can I just change it OBYC, what's the impact?
Anyone experienced that before?
Thanks!

Hi
This is normal Phenomenon since under that material type you must be having other valuation classes other than SUPP, and you must have assigned lot other G/L accounts , i.e for G/L recon you need to consider lot of Inventory accounts. Now if you change, during the next recon you just have to add the old entry details along with the new G/L account. No issues at all other than informing and co-ordination with FI guys after you new assignment of the G/L acct for SUPP.
Best Regards

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.

Material Master - Valuation Category

Dear Expert,
How to activate valuation category field in material master - tabs accounting1- so we can chose any value which propused by SAP ?
Thxs.
Rgds,
Ely

Hi,
Check no stock and PO were created for that material. It is only possible to change a material (valuation category) if no stock and PO were created. So it is not something that get changed at will. It needs to be decided on creation of material in MM01 t.code
Check this Link for details for details:
http://www.sap123.com/showthread.php?t=29
Note:
The Split Valuation settings are as follow:
1.SPRO> MM>VALN AND ACC ASSIGNMENT> SPLIT VALUATION> Acitvate Split Valuation
2.SPRO> MM>VALN AND ACC ASSIGNMENT> SPLIT VALUATION> Configure Split Valuation
Click on Golbal type: create your own valuation types as Type 1, Type 2 etc
Click on Global categories:create your own Valuation Category as Type(T) and
Activate all valuation types(Type1, Type2 ) for your category(T)
Goto MM01, enter materialu2026u2026u2026u20261st enter valuation category and save & again enter MM01 enter the Valuation type as Type 1 and maintain price for it and repeat the same for all the Types.
Follow following process to maintain the material master.
Step_>1:
Create material with T.Code. MM01 and enter all the required data in respective field. in particular go to "Accounting" view and Enter valuation category and save the material.
With this step you have maintained the Valuation category
Step_>2:
Now to maintain Valuation type go to change material T. Code MM02
Once again here you while entering Plant and storage location "Valuation type" field will come, here you enter first valuation type and go to Accounting view and Maintain relevant Valuation class. Save this data.
Once again you repeat the Step two and here you enter another valuation type and respective valuation class. With this step you have maintained the valuation type.
When you create a PO for split valuated material it will ask for valuation type and you can enter your required valuation type and save.

Inventory problem for material with valuation category X

Hi!
During annual inventory, I found material in a storage location that doesn't exist in SAP as material master.
I have created the material, managed in batches and valuation category X.
I have created a batch with MSC1N and now I am trying to create an inventory document to put this material on stock; but when I am trying to create the inventory document with MI01 or MI31, the system is telling me :
"Batch 0000043183 does not contain a valuation type
Message no. M7045
Diagnosis
The material is subject to split valuation, but the batch entered has not been assigned to a valuation type.
System Response
Any transaction/event that has the effect of changing the stock balance will be rejected for this batch.
Procedure
Contact your system administrator.
If you are authorized to do so, do you wish to check the valuation category in the material master record?
Do you want to display the batch?"
Now, I don't know exactly what can I do to be able to create the inventory document.
Any ideas.....
Thanks

Since you have created a material master with valuation category that means the system is taking that material either as split valuated or to-be split valuated...the reason of this error you will find out if you go to MSC2N with material-batch & plant you will find in the Basic data 1 tab that Valuation type field is mandatory...so either you have to split valuate the item further and then enter the same valuation type in MSC2N or otherwise if you not still done any transaction with the material master then remove the valuation category from the material master

Change Valuation Category - Urgent please !!

Hi !!
I need to change the valuation category of an existing material.
When i wanna change it in Accountant View 1, the error message is "The valuation category cannot be changed for the following reasons:
Stocks already exist at plant level.
Plant SLoc
   1358 1301
   1358 1302 ".
But, the stock is cero. I see this in mmbe or mb52. Also, there aren´t current purchase documents. I see this in me80fn.
SD is not install in the company.
Any ideas ????
Thanks in advance
PS: If i want to change valuation category using MM01, the message is "Valuation category does not allow split valuation"

Hi,
Why are you saying that you do not understand how to check the stock in previous period? It was written by Deepak how to do it.
(Many treads are on this forum about VC change and stock reports.)
My suggestion is that you should use (and learn) transaction MB5B. Please give the necessary information (material, plants, etc) and give the last day of the previous month in 'from' and 'to' selection fields as well.
You will see the opening and closing stock for that day. You should eliminate it somehow...via MB1A + 201 + posting date in the past (then reset it via MB1A + 202).

make the valuation category in the material(MM02)
create valuation type E1,E2,E3 in accounting view of material master (MM01)

Diifferent Accounts based on Valuation Class /Material group Shorttext -PO

Hello Sapient
We need to differentiate the Posting for short text PO . we want the Asset / Office supplies / Services to post in to a separate G/L Account .We seperate it by Material group , but the posting cannot be done by valuation class assigned to the material group . How can we handle the WRX using valuation class or by any method. what i am referring is all for PO without material master. .
Thanks
Jeevan

Hi Jeevan,
You are absolutely right. I am also facing the same problem. In our case also we do not have a material master. We have created a PO with short text and with a material group. We have assigned a valuation class to this material group.
We have used account assignmed category "P" for the PO.
For the debit posting i.e. for GBB-VBR its taking the GL account based on the valuation class, but for WRX its not taking the GL account with the valuation class.
We want to have different GR/IR account (say 108) for domestic PO's and different GR/IR account (say 109) for Import PO's. We are not able to do this diffrentiation because in OBYC in WRX, while doing MIGO the system is picking only that GL account for which the Valuation class is blank.
I don't think there is a solution to this. If you find any then pl
pease let me know.
But if you don't want to segregate the GL Accounts in WRX then the simple thing for you to do is in OBYC WRX maintain the GL account without Valuation class. Your problem will be resolved.

Disabled Valuation Category

Hi gurus!
I have a big problem with the valuation category for batches. I want to create a material with the valuation category = 'X' in the accounting tabstrip. This field is disabled.
I've done the relantionship between the valuation category and the valuation type (BATCH) and matched the valuation category with the plant. If I tried to create another material to the another plant, the valuation category can be informed. I supposed that I have to do something else with my new plant.
Can anybody help me, please?
Thanks!!

Set Valuation Category as required field

Hii My dear Friends,
Can we set valuation category in accounting view as required field. It is to prevent the user from making any changes on the valuation category.

Hi,
You can not avoid user making any changes in valaution category by making that fileld manadatory . Also for every material valaution category can not be mandatory it is used for material under split valuation . You can opt for either restricting authorisation to MM02 to users or go for user exit.
Please give pints if find useful

Account determination with valuation grouping code

We currently have 25 plants (valuation areas) setup using one chart of accounts and a common valuation grouping code for account determination. We now have a need to change one of the plants to use different accounts than the other 24 for the GBB transaction. I can see that transaction OMWD allows me to enter a different valuation group code by plant; so I've entered a different code for the plant we want to change. I then go into OBYC, double-click on GBB and I can see all the accounts set up. From here, if I press the 'rules' button I can see the options to base account determination on. Currently, the 'valuation modification' checkbox is unchecked - I believe this has to be checked in order to use the valuation grouping code.
I'm a little unclear on how to setup the different accounts for the valuation grouping code I've assigned to my one plant. When I checked the 'valuation modification' checkbox and save, I get a message 'the current account determination will be deleted if the rules are changed'. I've done this in a sandbox environment and it certainly does delete all the accounts setup for GBB! But it does then give me the option to enter the valuation grouping code, which is what I need to enter different accounts.
Am I doing this correctly and in the right sequence? Is there a way to save the current values in GBB so they don't go away when I choose 'valuation modification'?

Hi Leslie,
Based on your problem statement, if all the 25 plants are associated to a valuation grouping code, ideally your GBB key should have had the valuation modifier checked in the rules.
If it were not checked, then your current account determination for GBB key will get deleted when you add or delete a rule. Reason being the characteristics for account determination have now changes. Example, if you account determination is based on Valuation class as well, then earlier GBB had Valuation Classs/ Account but with the new rule it will have Valuation Mod./Valuation Class/ Account. SAP can't automatically map your previous account determination to the new account determination.
Best way to move forward is to take a screenshot or save your account determination from Table T030. Make changes to the rule. Then redo the account determination by refrecing the account determination that you saved before.

Valuation Category for Split Valuation

Hi,
We are moving to Split Valuation and the necessary configuration like valuation category ('H') and valuation types are activated for the plant. But while creating a new material for this plant, i couldn't maintain the field 'Valuation Category' and system is giving a default 'blank' for this field.
Could you please let me know if i'm missing any config.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Ganesh Perumalla

Hi,
Thanks for your advice.
I understand that while creating new material, the valuation category has to be entered. And then valuation types can be created with different prices.
But i couldn't enter the valuation category initially, as a result i cann't add any valuation types for the material. While creating material, the field 'valuation category' is blank and greyed, so i guess it is being defalulted from somewhere.
The field group (OMSR) defined for the material type can sometimes influence field values, but i'm not sure. Do you have any idea?
Best Regards, Ganesh Perumalla

Lets say example: You have material "X" in Plant "P001" with valuation catagory "V" and valution types "T001" & "T002"
Now create a new plant "P002" and you want extend the same material material "X" to Plant "P002" from Plant "P001"
But before that ,check your Valuations Types("T001" & "T002") are active with ur new Plant "P200" or not? In which split Valuation Categories is required in OMWC t.code... {if not active Valuations Types("T001" & "T002") for new Plant "P002" }, if not active, just active it & save.
