Mass change of material's valuation classes

Dear all,
Our client has an incorrect MM accounting determination because the customizing for the OBYC was not properly definied initally. This issue is causing many problems in accounting since the accounts are not being correctly determined,
After being analyzed the situation we have concluded that the best way to correct the problem is to define a new classification of valuation classes and link it to new valuation grouping code which will be assigned progressively to all the plants in the system, activating immediately the new accounting determination.
Since the system is already live,the change will need to be done directly in production environment. As you all know, in order to change the valuation class of the material we need to post the stocks of the material to an interim account in order to be able to change the valuation class of the material.
Since it would be very complicate at this point of the project (we are running out of time) to flag for deletion all the existing open purchase orders/production orders, we will switch the error message for them to a warning in the material master as suggested by the system.
And here it comes my quetion, many of the plants have WM and we are not sure which the required steps are to allow as to post the stocks to the materials to an interim account and either how to do it technically (we are talking about 50.000 materials).
Any suggestion will be very appreaciated.
Thank you very much for your help!!!

not sure of PM, you might want to ask that in the PM forum ... but i should think, that if you stopped all posting during that process there should not be any impact with your equipments ... or do you have something special going there with BOMs/configuration?
special stock: i would do it that way.
i appreciate the invitation, btw.

How to change the value of Valuation class.

dear friends:
i want to change the value of Valuation class in the material master .but system warning info occurs .
The valuation class cannot be changed
Message no. M3 368
Diagnosis
You wanted to change the valuation class. However, this is not possible because one or more of the following already exist for the material:
Valuated stocks in the current period or in the previous period
Open purchase orders or delivery schedule lines
Production orders for which a goods movement has already taken place
System Response
Your change is reset by the system.
Procedure
If valuated stocks already exist, you can change the valuation class only as follows:
a) Post the stocks of the material to an interim account.
b) Change the valuation class in the material master record.
c) Post the stocks of the material back to their original account.
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.
Procedure for System Administration
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. However, first ensure organizationally that further processing of the open purchase orders or production orders cannot result in inconsistencies.

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,
James

Material Master-Valuation class

Dear Friends,
Depends upon the material type valuation class value is fetched by the system......Can any1 explain how this happens?......where it is assigned?.....whrs the link?.......Thanks in advance......

Hi saravana
Following the configuration path:
IMG>Materials Management>Valuation and Account Assignment-->Split Valuation without wizard
Here we will be assigning the valuation grp to the plant and give the G/L account also
Check the t.codes .OMWD, ,OMWB where assignment is done. Because of this only the valuation class will come in our MMR ->accounting tab 1

Different material- same valuation class-same movement type - but should hi

dear all,
Different material- same valuation class-same movement type - but should hit different gl account.
the requirement is the materials are different but having same valuation class. Now during issue certain gl account are hitting because of val grp code, account modifier and account determination in mov type. Now my question is can i use same movement type and hit different gl account for materials having same val class???
It is possible??

Hi,
In OBYC, we maintain G/L account for the transaction key (for ex: GBB) for the combination of Val. grouping code, Valuation class & account modifier (ex: VBR - determined via mov.type).
As per your requirement, Materials have the same valuation class and you are using the same mov.type for Goods Issue, so only option is to use different val.grouping code (which is assigned to a valuation area).
So in short, you can trigger different G/L for the different materials with same val class, mov.type only if the Plant - valuation area is different.
If the Plant is same then system will always determine the same G/L even though materials are different.
Hope it is clear.
Thanks & Regards,

Mass change of material master

Hi Experts,
I have a query regarding mass change to be done in material master. I need to update one value in the Material group 4 field in sales org view 2 in MM02 transaction for nearly 300000 materials. One option i find is LSMW and the other i saw is transaction MM17. Please let me know how feasible is this MM17 transaction? Is it possible to upload all the 30000 materials through MM17 transaction in one go and update the field? Will there be any performance issue if MM17 transaction is used?
Please give your suggestion.
Thanks
Dinakar

Hi,
Use MM17,
Goto the Transaction code MM17 and in the table check the MVKE- sales org data for material
and select the Fields tab and choose the field MVKE-MVGR4 and execute
Now enter all the materials in the next screen for which you want to change and execute
In the next screen you can maintain the new values for the old
Please check and revert
thanks,

Mass changes of Material Master field with different values

Hi,
How to change a field in Material Master for more than thousand materials. I think MM17 can only be used for mass changes of materials with same values. I need to upload different values for different materials. Is there any other way to do this.
Thanks,
K R Vishnu Kumar

Hi Kumar.
I think you have to use LSMW for mass updation for Material Master fields with different values.

Material groups, valuation classes and GL acccounts

HI Gurus,
I need to setup new material groups with descriptions, valuaiton classess and their related GL accounts. What steps do i nned to follow.
PLease explain '
Thanks
Anusha

Go to transacition OMSF to define the material group
Go to transaciotn OMSK to define the valuation class
here you can define or use existing A/C ategory reference than create valuation calss and assign the A/C category to that valution class and next step you can assign the material type
G/L account you can define in FS00 transaciotn and you can assign them to the valution class in OBYC transcation.

Material groups-valuation classes combination

Hello,
I have material groups which are created for services, and they don't have a material code. When I purchase these materials, I enter the cost center as account assignment type, and the service I'm purchasing and the material group I mentioned for these services.
Below, it asks the GL account. In order to avoid entering this GL account every time I purchase services, I want to combine these material groups to the valuation classes. And then those valuation classes and GL accounts will be combined in T030 table.
Where could I do this combination through customizing this matching of valuation classes and the material groups?
Thanks in advance
Irem

Hello forum!
I customized a specific material group with a valuation class (transaction omqw).
During a PO creation, the GL account is displayed by default when i enter a blank material and the material group that i previously customized.
However, if I enter a material code with the specific material group, the field of the GL account is empty.
Do you have any suggestions in order to have a default GL account at PO in the case that the material has a code but it has no valuation class?

Procured material - incorrect valuation class

We are version 4.7 with purchase accounting active in our company.
Following is the issue faced by us.
We have a single material code for both procured and manufactured item.
In the material master the valuation class entered is that of
manufactured.
When we create a GR with respective Purchase order (whenever it is
procured) the accounting entries generated are incorrect. They are
based on the valuation class entered in the material master (which is
manufactured) and GL codes are derived from OBYC assignment.
Kindly suggest how a single material can work for manufactured as well
as procurement and error in accounting entries generated can be
rectified.

Mass change for material master data

Dear all,
Previously my company had marked some storage location for MRP indicator to exclude the storage location stock from MRP run.
Now I need to reactive back those storage location, where should I go?
I know a way which can active back material by material (tcode: MM02), but that is too slow for me, because I need to active back around hundrreds of materials.
Anyone know where can I modify the storage location indicator and active back it? I had test MM17, MASS, LSMW.. but it seems like not supported for SAP version 4.0B.
Hope will get reply soon, this issue was quite urgent.
Thanks!
Best Regards,
PC

Dear Peai,
check with this steps SPRO - SAP Reference IMG - Production - Material
Requirement Planning - Planning - Define Storage location MRP per plant - Enter
the plant - Check for which Storage locations has got the indicator 1 - Storage
Location stock excluded from MRP - Now remove that or choose the values.
Check with & revert.

Changes of Material type

Hello All.
I have created a Material master and by mistake i have put wrong Material type, so now can i change that material type for that material master.
please suggest.
Regards,
Vishal

Hi,
Before changing material type check whether any stock is there for that material also check open purchasing & sales docs. If you are changing the material type use T.code MMAM once you change the material type valuation class of the material also changes.

How to clear the PPC balance to change the material type?

Dear experts,
Our customer need to change some material type (valuation class as well) from semi-finished product to purchase part. It uses Product Cost Collector for semi-finished/finished product and never makes settlement for any PCC.
To change the material type through MMAM requires zero stock and cleared PCC balance. So we removed the stock of the semi-finished product and settled the PCC for every month of this year.
Since the products could have entry this year and last year, even if we settled their balances of this year, it still can not be changed the material type.
And we do not know how to settle the PCC balance of last year because only one field YEAR can be entered on screen KK87/CO88. If I enter settleme period 11, posting period 12 and fiscal year 2007, system will give error "Period 12 is not allowed".
But we happend to find one product has no entry this year but has balance value of last year. Its material type can be changed w/o any errors, which seems last year balance has no impact material type change. I get confused.
Can any one advise whether I'm wrong and where?

Hi Sharan,
Matl Povided to Vendor stock will appear in Subcontracting scenario.
If at all you have given some material to a subcontractor , this will be consumed automaticaly when you will recieve the ordered material from subcontractor.that is 543 movement will take place in the backgroung when u do the GR.
In case if u need to clear the stock u can do 542 and take the stock back to unrestricted.

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.

Arminda Jack
