Invalid Valuation Class for Plant

Hello,
I'm creating a material using t-code MM01, and when I enter a valuation class in the Accounting 1 view, I get error message ZA 038 "Invalid valuation class for this plant". This valuation class was working before, so I want to look into the configuration to see what may have been changed. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Cynthia

Hi,
the message u got is custom defined message.
The reason for the designing the message may be that the material that u want to create is not to be meant for the plant u used.
i hope this will solve the issue.
Thank You,

Different Valuation Class for Valuation category C1,C2,C3

Hi All,
I created a material with valuation category C. The material had valuation class 3042 which I created as per requirement of client. Now when I am extending the same material for valuation category C1, C2, C3 the system is only allowing me to choose valuation class 3040 which is standard sap valuation class for spare parts. Can anyone suggest if I need to create separate valuation class for C1, C2 & C3. I have split valuation also activated in the system.

Go to MMAM and then give the material and give the new valuation class and execute it. That material have change from old valuation class to new valuation class.
Example: You create material No: 678 under the Finished goods. Finished goods valuation class is 7920 is assigned in Accounting Tab 1. You want to change "678" material to Raw Material.
Go to T.Code : MMAM
Material                                : 678
New Valuation Class             : Raw Material ( Select from F4)
                                               Which Valuation area you want
Old Valuation Class              : Finished goods ( its under gray mode
                                                                          i.e can not change)

Valuation class for imports and domestic material

Hi,
We wanted to hit different GLs for domestic and Imported materials inventory and therefore we have defined two valuation classes for Domestic and Imported material and these valuation classes are attached to respective materials in account view 1.
But now our problem is , we have few materials which are procured from domestic market as well as Aboard market.
Therefore now we are facing problem how to hit correct GLs based on the nature of procurement.
Thx in advance...
Regards
Sandeep marwha

use split valuation , since materail details is a master record we cant dupoicate .
so use split valuation and give a diffrent valuation class which correcponds to a diff gl account .
so when ver u create a Po givethe valuation type also , so that at Gr doing time , the stock will hit that gl act only. other wise will create issue , it will be grayed out while doin Gr .

Change of Valuation Class for the existing material

Hello,
I am facing the issue while trying to change the valuation class of the existing material.
The material type is 'NLAG' which is non stockable material. However, all the PO are account assigned to the G/L account & cost center. Hence there is no stock of the material exists to any plant/ SLOC.
There is no open PO/ schedule lines/ Production orders are exists for the material. Also there is no stock exists at any plant. Even then system is throwing the message as 'The valuation class cannot be changed' (Message no. M3 368).
After debugging could see that it fetch the PO that are logically closed (has GR, IR, vendor payment has been made).
We do not want to have the split valuation for that material.
The material is in existance for quite a long time, so could you please help me to change the valuation class?
Thanks in advance,
Samip Patil.

Hi Raju,
To resolve SAP error message M3 368 I would suggest that you refer to SAP note number 1967543. This note outlines the issue and a resolution to it:
Please have a look at the description of the error M3 368. This error may occur if one or more of the following already exist for the material:
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
Resolution:
If you have valuated stocks in the current period or in the previous period, you will get message "Stocks already exist.". You have to clear all the stocks both in current period and previous period. Please have a look at SAP Note 30656, it shows an example on how to clear the stocks in
previous period. You can use transaction MIGO to execute this step.
If you have open purchase orders or delivery schedule lines, you will get message "Purchase orders already exist.". You can find related purchase orders after you click 'Display Error' button. Please delete them in transaction ME22N.
If you have production orders for which a goods movement has already taken place, you will get message "Production orders already exist.". Please archive these production orders. You need to set deletion flag for these orders firstly and go to SARA, use archiving object PP_ORDER to archive
these orders.
Kind regards,

Valuation class for service master

Hi Guys,
I am trying for automatic G/L account determination for Service PO's. My issue i have to enter g/l code for each line item in the PO. I am not sure how the g/l account determination based on valuation class works for Service PO's
I have assigned the account category reference to the service category and to the valuation class 3200 i have assigned a g/l account for the key FRL.
Please let me know what I am missing?
Thanks and regards,
Siddharth M

Hi Sidmi
The account assignment settings made for materials consumption will work for services also .
You do not need FRL for services (it's for sub-contracting)
Account category reference decides which all valuation classes can be used for a service category. It does not determine valuation class in a transaction (it's only checks with this setting).
If you want to determine GL account automatically in your txns, then you have following options:
1) Spro>Material management>Purchasing>material master->entry aids for items without material master
For all the material groups you want to use for services , assign a valuation class here.
2) If you maintain service masters, then you can assign valuation class in service master.
Best regards
Ramki

Two Valuation Class for one material type which is split valuated

hi , I have a material number which is split valuated like Capital & Revenue. There are seperate inventory GL accounts for both Capital & Revenue. So whenever material is procured based on the nature either Capital or Revenue , Corresponding Inventory GL account gets debited. How t

It is very much possible. Material type is linked with Valution class by account category reference and has many to many relationships. Valution type is linked with account category reference.
1 You create the material at valuation category level in MM01
2 Extend the material for Val type 1 with Val cls 1 in accounting view
3 Extend the material for val type 2 with val cls 2 in accounting view
for example
If you have valution type IN & EX linked with ROH material type via account category reference then you have the option to selecte valution classes 3000, 3001, 3002, 3003 in Std SAP. You have to make sure that Automatic account determination setting are correct for the valustion classes selected in OBYC.
Hope it helps

Valuation class for different services

Hello Experts,
In one of the business requirements, they have around 40-50 different services and each service has to be accounted under different GL codes.
In such cases, when we create service masters, can we have the standard val class 3200 (For services) or do we need to create multiple val. classes. If yes, how many needs to be created for those 40-50 different services .
Regards
Mahesh

Hi,
Just keep one val class 3200 (For services) & create different material groups(40-50)in OMSF t.code to cater your different services(40-50 ) & assign G/Lu2019 with respective material group in t.code OMQW

Valuation Grouping Code same- Valuation Class different for each plant

Hi All,
We have 5 plants assigned to the company code. We have same Chart of Accounts (1000) and all the plants are grouped together to one valuation grouping code(001).
Now if i extend the material codes to different plants, i am able to give each valuation class to each plant. So what is the use of giving same valuation grouping code for all plants?
I expected some error message when i changed valuation class for another plant since all plant were grouped together to one valuation grouping code. Please explain.
Regards,
Rosh

Hi Rosh,
There is a meaning of grouping valuation areas using valuation grouping code
e.g.   Plant 1000 valuation grouping code - 0001
         Plant 2000 valuation grouping code - 0002
Lets say you have 3010 valuation class for material A in both plants
So while determining GL account for BSX key following will be combination
VGC / Valuation         modifierValuation class         GL
0001                                       3010                        2000
0002                                       3010                        3000
Means using VGC u can Differenciate account determination for plants under same Company code

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

Valuation class changes for open orders

what are the reason SAP doesn't recommend to change the Valuation class for open orders or when the material is in transit.

Hi,
System will not allow to change the Valuation classes of a Material in the Following cases:
1. Material Stock should be zero. If any stock is there it wont allow to change vc.
2. Material should not have any open Purchase Requisitions/ Purchase orders/ Reservations etc.
So, If if you want to change the Valuation class Transfer allthe stock of the material to another plant and delete all the related Transactions.

Ashok

Table/ Fields for Valuation Class

Dear Gurus,
I am trying to download into excel sheet the following data to do an analysis as how to reduce the number of valuation classes that are there currently....
Material Type
Material Group Number
Material Group Name
Valuation Class Number
Valuation Class Name
Exp/ Rev from Consignment - AKO
Consignment Payables - KON
Inventory - BSX
Offsetting - GBB
GR/ IR Clearing - WRX
Is there a table/ tables where I can take these data out from or any report that would help me in getting this data.
Please help me on this.
Thanks.
regards,
Raj

Hi Raj,
try this -
Go to tcode OMWB.
Select the menu path Options>Simulation>Input Mode
Select "Input of valuation class
Hit the button "Simulation"
Here, enter plant, valuation class and select appropriate movement.
click Account Assignment. Next screen will give you complete detaisl that you are looking for except the material group...this has nothing to do with account determination for a stock item so...
In the output screen, using forward arrow, you can see for other parameters also without leaving the transaction or going back to initial screen. This is a way for your "learn while you research" in an efficient manner.
Another way is:
MBEW gives you conents on valuation classes for materials you already created
OMBW -->Where used list for G/L accounts button when hit, you will see all the details of G/Ls etc...for a company code if you want..(you may leave valuation area blank)
It will show:
Companycode, Valuation class,TR/Event key, with description,Chartof accounts,valuation grouping code, modifier,G/L and description. what else is required...all in one place!

Hi,
it is not possible, to change the valuation class for any material, once a stock entry is passed in the system.( even thought the stock you have made zero )
if you try to change it in MM02, an error log shows, please go thr' it. it shows open items or transactions, due to which we can't
change valuation class.
please check other option, instead of changing valuation class.
