Low market price using Material Ledger for FG
Hi dear Experts,
We are using Material ledger for valuating 1 FG material with out quantity structure and its goning well but in the opening of a new plant after the actual costing calculation with have to adjust the actual cost to the low market price if this is low than actual cost of the month, do you know which steps I have to follow to make this happen I read something about parallel valuations and determination of lowest cost but how I can Carryout this to inventory valuation?
Regards
Hi Ganesh thanks,
the market priceI have to maintain on one of the prices available in the material master, this is necessary in addition to any configuration to use the mrn0?
and just a doubt this could re-valuate the inventory for the closing period? and the difference as I read its posted to the COGS account, on the next period or in the closing one?
thanks a lot
regards
Omar

Transfer price without Material Ledger
Dear Expert,
I am not using material ledger.but how i will handle transper price without material ledger
I am going to do stock transfer of FG stock from Plant A to plant B.
Standard price in plant A is 10 rs and Plant B 15rs
FG stock in Recieving plant B will debit !5rs and sending plant credit with 10rs and difference of 5rs will store in Price difference a/c.
M i correct with above entry?
In that case how to handle transfer price?.

RRHi Raman
No Trf Price possible w.o ML... No work around possible
What are you trying to achieve... Can you detail it.... For sure, you cant maintain multiple valuations for same mat w/o ML

How the System calculate GR/IR Prices in Material Ledger
Dear All,
Please any body help me regarding: How the prices calculation happen during the Goods Rereipt (GR) & Invoice Receipt (IR) prices in Material Ledger same period and next period. Exampls as follows,
If one material GR happened February, 2011 with Rs 100/- and IR happened March, 2011 with Rs 110/-. This difference Rs 10/- how it will be effected in during the two periods.
What will be impact of both periods if runs Material execution at end of the month. For March, 2011 how the material prices calculated & what basis.
Plese help me with above example.
Regards
Bhaskar.Hi Bhaskar ,
At the time of GR .. in standard costing .. the accounting entries are
Inventory -
Dr 100 ( Std Price)
Price Diff -
Dr 10
GR/IR -
Cr 110 ( Invoice Price)
At the time of IR .. the entry is
Gr/IR -
Dr 110
Vendor -
Cr 110 .
Hence , the price difference is taken in accounting and in ML run in the month GR happens....................
Now , how ML run post the amounts in GL and account determination logic.. refer OSS Note : 908737 - Post Closing in Material Ledger

Material Ledger for two materials
Hi,
I need to run the Material Ledger for two specific materials. In CKMLCP not have the field to select the materials.
In this case what should I do?
hugs,
Cristiane.Hi Cristiane,
some steps in CKMLCP also have own transaction codes and these allow to be run fro selected materials
CKMH Single-Level Price Determination
CKMI post closing

Material Ledger for Stock Transfer Postings
Hi All,
I have a question about the way material ledger is calculated for stock transfer postings (movement type 641). I will give an example to illustrate this issue:
Material A has a Standard cost of $10
Material B has a Standard cost of $8
During the month 100 units were transferred from material A to Material B. This created a financial posting as follows:
Credit Material A - $1000
Debit Material B - $800
Debit Price Difference $200
This price difference of $200 was used in the calculation of Actual cost for material B
However, the Actual Cost for Material A was $9. I would have expected the system to use this actual cost to calculate the difference to be posted to material B. Hence the difference used in Material B should have been $100 {(9 8) X 100} and not $200.
Has anyone had a similar issue, or know how the system resolves this (if at all)?
Points will be rewarded for relevance.
ThanksDave, I see that your process is slightly different to mine. We do not revalue inventory at month end, instead the material ledger program posts the revalued amount to a reserve account and the actual cost is only a statistical entry. The material ledger calculation is reversed automatically in the new month and the standard price is used for valuation.
I think this might make it difficult for the system to value STO's at actual. I may need to check with SAP.

Standard Price in Material Ledger
Dear Gurus,
On one hand we need to update on finished products (manufactured) a standard cost estimate (CK11N or CK40N) in order to analyse variances on the corresponding production orders (during period en closing with KKS2 transaction), on another hand, because we are implementing material ledger component, we would like to update the standard price of these finished products with the periodic unit price (PUP) with CKME transaction.
The problem is that the system returns an error when we try to release the price with the PUP,
CKPRCH "A current or future standard price exists for material &".
Could you help me ? Thank you very much
ChristopheHi
I suspect standard price can only be saved once for any period. You can make use of the other price fields in the material master to store different prices
Thank You, -
Frozen price in material ledger
Dear all,
I need to have some informations about frozen price functionality in material ledger.
In particular:

- where in customizing it is set?
- what is the system behavior using frozen price during production order confirmation?.
Kind regards

Historical moving average price in material ledger
Hi SAPGURUS,
Every Month when doing the Month-end closing, system re-calculate the moving average cost in material ledger . Is there a way to get this information for all plant, all model and download to the EXCEL.
Could you please tell if we can the information from any database table.
Thanks and regards,
PriyajitHi,
Look at the following table data MLCRP for price changes. MLCR is the basic material ledger table. There are other ML tables that you may need to refer to: MLCRF and MLPPF.
Cheers. -
If we dont use material ledger what will happen?

[email protected]Hi
I think a good solution can be to create two "Products of a customer" (trx BF24) and then assign the BTE 0001321 to those two products (trx BF34).
In this way u can assign the BTE twice using two different fm, so u don't need to change the old development of your client

Material ledger for lean accounting
Hi friends,
We are planning to implement ML for actual costing. The problem is client want to change their standard SAP process to a diff process. Instead of posting to Inventory B/S account when received goods, they want to debit to a P/L account and credit gr/ir. I am not sure how ML handles this, the other issue is during consumption to a production order, they don't want to hit the consumption account. They just want to do a goods movement with 261 type with quantity value (only material doc but no accounting doc) to production order. I am not sure if ML can look at this material document and calculates a $ value to have consumption.
Please helpHi Sridhar,
Thanks for the reply. We were not clear on the design. Now we placed a design in place (not sure if this works). We r planning to do standard SAP procedure. 1) Dr. Inv (b/s) Cr gr/ir when goods are received and 2) Dr. Consumption Cr. Inv (b/s) when issued to Production order. The plan is to post additional entires during posting 1) like Dr. Purchased mat (p&l) Cr. Invent change (p&l). The main reason for this is management wants to look at the inv on p&l side (like dr. p&l account rather than inv b/s and dont want to touch that account for credits) but from ML perspective it will create problems so we are planning to follow standard and make additional posting in 2 p&l accounts which will total to zero.
Please let me know if you see any problems from ML side and also how can we make a setting to automatically do the extra posting when goods r received.
Thanks -
Material Ledger - confirmation in different months
Hi Gurus,
I have a problem as follows:
We are using material ledger for actual costing. When we post partial confirmation for a production order in period t, goods receipt and goods issue is posted for period t. However, in some cases, confirmation is posted although one material has not arrived at the factory yet and that material is not assembled on the finished product in period t, but it is assembled in period t+1. In this case, when we close material ledger, we receive an error as "there are nondistributed rows" in transaction CKM3. How can I solve this problem either in logistics side or financial side?
Thanks and cheers,
Fatih ZenginerHi Faith,
Are you familiar with transaction CKMVFM - Value Flow Monitor? You can analyze Not Distributed differences with this transaction. The price limiter is the key.
Thanks,

Hi gurus,
my brazilian client wants recalculate, at the end of every month, the stocks and sales using the real prices of the material. he wants revaluate sales and stocks using monthly purchasing price instead of standard price.
Further more, he wants revaluate production orders (WIP), stocks and cost of sales using re-calculation of labor rate.
1) Can I use material ledger for this needs?
2) Is there every one with experience about brazilian client that help about this issue?
Thanks in advance
RegardsHi Patricia,
did you finally implement a working solution? What did you use?
Could you succesfully run the material ledger/actual costing for the calendar months? I assume that you had to run the company code in a different controlling area than the one you are using for corporate from 27 to 26...
we are facing a similar issue and I would appreciate any experience you can provide.
thanks,

Tables used for material ledger
What are the standard tables used for material ledger
Hi,
All req. configuration i have defined in last thread...
The following tables contain data that can appear in the material ledger documents:
· MLHD Material Ledger Document: Header
· MLIT Material Ledger Document: Items
· MLPP Material Ledger Document: Posting Periods and Quantities
· MLPPF Material Ledger Document: Field Groups (Posting Periods and Quantities)
· MLCR Material Ledger Document: Currencies and Values
· MLCRF Material Ledger Document: Field Groups (Currencies and Values)
· MLCRP Material Ledger Document: Price Change (Currencies, Prices)
· MLMST Material Ledger Document: Costing Run Header Data
The following types of material ledger documents are available, differing by transaction type:
· CL Material Ledger Closing Entries
· UP Material Ledger Update
· PC Price Changes
· ST Single-Level Price Determination
· MS Multilevel Price Determination
· RE Material Ledger Data Repairs
USE :
Material ledger documents are data that is recorded during each business transaction that is relevant to valuation. You can archive documents for closed periods when they are no longer needed for material price determination or reporting purposes. Archiving the documents deletes them from the database.

Material ledger:Dynamic Release of Planned Prices
Dear all,
Would anyone tell me how to test the 'Dynamic Release of Planned Prices ' in material ledger step by step? SAP said that system can change the price during the first goods movment in next period, but I did not know how to test it.
rgds,
BenIf the 'dynamic price release' is active for the corresponding plant
in Material Ledger (you may check that in transaction CKM9), the system
releases planed future price at first goods movement at beginning of the
period (materials movements transactions).
The standard price can be released by different ways. It can be changed
with transactions CK24, CK40N, CKME and with a dynamic price release
with the first posting in the new period.
There are the following prerequisites for the successful release of
standard prices:
1. The current MM period has to correspond to the current FI period. If
the MM period is already moved before attaining the FI period, no
prices can be released for the new period until the first date of
the new FI period is reached. However, Modification note 551956
permits a dynamic price release in such cases.
*According to the fiscal year variant from the system or user date
2. The period for which the cost estimate was created and flagged has
to correspond to the current MM period or the valid-from date of
future prices from the accounting must have been reached.
3. In the release period, a release of a running cost estimate cannot
yet occur.
4. Provided that a future price is supposed to be released from the
accounting, but a flagged, released or passed cost estimate is
anchored on the cost estimate view of the material master, you
either have to undo these anchors (REDO or delete in Transaction
CKR1) or you have to override message CKPRCH025 or M8155. When you
override the message the program might issue incorrect values in the
variance calculation and in the CO-PA since the standard price may
no longer correspond to the current planned price.
5. Provided that the Material Ledger (ML) is active, the period status
has to permit the release. In this case, note that a release cannot
occur after the end of the prior period (Exception: Late release by
means of MR21).
6. Provided that you want to use the dynamic release, note that it
is only possible in connection with goods movements, but NOT with
invoice receipts (Error message M8394) or by means of direct posting
to the material or by means of the CLOSING ENTRY of the Material
Ledger (no message). -
Higher activity price in cumulative run in Material Ledger
Hello,
Scenario:
The company is using material ledger and doing periodic run. After the periodic run, company post financial transaction and run cumulative run to take impact of financial transactions.
During cumulative run, system is using actual price of the last month and revaluation the cumulative qty with this price. Due to no catual activity, the prices are very high. Due to this, system is revaluating cumulative quantities of all months with very high price (of last month).
Please suggest to resolve this issue?
Neeraj RawatHi Srinu,
Do you mean that, just after changing the KP26 values, u are expecting the same to reflect in your cost component structure of materials? KP26 is only to plan the price of an activity type in a cost center. This will be applicable for the future period. ie when operations are confirmed in production orders in future, this costs will be absorbed to the production order.
Use S_ALR_87013611 or similar reports for actual activity prices(debits) and actual activity quantities. Former divided by later will give you the actual per unit activity price for the last period.( in case of 1 to 1 relationship between cost center and activity).
