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?

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.

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,

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

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?

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.

How to stop G/L from defaulting material group in work orders

Whenever we create a work order, the material group is pulled from the material master. But, if we have a component on a work order and don't enter in a material number, the material group defaults to electric supplies. From my research, it looks like it is doing this defaulting based upon the default G/L account assigned to components of work orders. Does anyone know how to stop this defaulting?
I might be completely off and it's not related to G/L which in that case this is not the correct forum, so if someone is knowledgeable about this let me know and I can switch the forum areas.
Thanks,

hi ,
Please check the Account Assignment In Po you have created .
for expamole if Po is created with account assignment ctegourt K than account modification is VBR
as in below Path and screen shot
Now check Material group valuation class if you are short text in PO or material master valuatiobn class if you are material Number . For expamaple its is 0001 liek ypur case . Now
Check combination in OBYC in GBB transction for VBR( Assignment category is K in PO ) and valaution class ( of Material master or material group )
Many Thanks

Define Valuation Class against Material Group through SPRO.

Hi,
Can we define Valuation Class against Material Group through SPRO.
Because we don't want to insert valuation class during material master creation. Reason, User can select easily wrong Valuation class during creation of material master and due to this, valuated in wrong GL accounts...
During material creation, valuation class should automatically show in Accounting View.
Pleas guide..

Hi,
For your requirement as you have 10 Material Types and you should have 10 new account category reference &10 new valuation class and link(OMSK)each Material Type with individual valuation class though respective account category reference. Also assign each account category reference in respective material type in OMS2. So when you create material (MM01) with a particular material type, then only assigned valuation class will be defaulted/allowed to enter in accounting -1 view.
In the standard we have some predefined material type, valuation class and account category reference and a link between them has already established by the system. If we are using these standard setting no additional efforts are required. But to meet any specific requirement, if we have to create a new material type or a new valuation classes or a new Account Category Reference (all the three), then we have to establish this links in bewteen.

Split GR/IR accounts by Valuation Class (PO without material master)

Hi Experts,
I've an issue here, when I'm tried to do GR posting (PO without material master), system doesnt able to post GRIR account by valuation class.
Scenario: PO issue without masterial number, enter description and with material group.
In the configuration, I've configure "Entry aids for item without material master", assign material group "Asset" and material group "Services" into 2 different clearing account. However, when GR posting, system prompt error message and not able to do posting.
Kindly advice.

Yes , you can post to different GR/IR accounts based on the valuation class . In OBYC for WRX , you can choose your rules . In the Rules , select valuation class . Then the system will allow you to choose different GR/IR accounts for each valuation class .
During the GR , the system will pick the corresponding GR/IR account based on the material grp valuation class .

Hari.

Material Type
Movement Types
Movement type is to differentiate between the various goods movements.
Some of the goods movement are
261 Goods Issue for Prod Order
101 Goods receipt for Prod order/Purchase order
Goods movement has many control functions attached to it
Material/Accounting documents are generated
It updates the quantity fields
It updates the stock & consumption accounts
T-code to create Movement Type: Transaction OMJJ
Value String is a Tool which is used in Automatic acc.Determination to Trigger the Transaction Event Key....based on Movement Type,Special Stock Indicator,Qty.Updating of the material,Value Updating of the material,Movement Indicator and Consumption Indicator of the Transaction.

FI-MM(Valuation Class)

Hi,
Can any one please help me in explaining me what is valuation class ? and where configuration is done, i have some idea that Raw material, finished goods ext are called as valuation class and they are represented by numeric key. can any one provide proper notes on this valuation class and how is it helpful in FI-MM Integration.
thanks in advance

valuation classes are allowed for a material type.
If a user creates a material, he must enter the material's valuation class in the accounting data. The ERP system uses your default settings to check whether the valuation class is allowed for the material type.
The valuation class is a group of materials with the same account determination. If a transaction is to be posted to different accounts depending on the valuation class, create an account determination for each valuation class in the step Create automatic postings.
The valuation classes allowed depend on the material type. Several valuation classes are generally allowed for one material type. A valuation class can also be allowed for several material types.
The link between the valuation classes and the material types is set up via the account category reference.
The account category reference is a combination of valuation classes. Precisely one account category reference is assigned to a material type.
The following are the Requirements for Valuation class.
1) You must have defined your material types.
2) You must have defined the chart of accounts.
3) You must have agreed with Financial Accounting which materials are assigned to which accounts.
Default settings
In the standard SAP R/3 System, an account category reference is created for each material type. The account category reference is, in turn, assigned to precisely one valuation class. This means that each material type has its own valuation class.
Recommendation
We recommend that you create the account groups of your chart of accounts as an account category reference.
Example GKR:
3000 for raw materials
3030 for accessory materials
7900 for finished products
and so on
Activities
1. Create account category references under
account category reference
2. Under
valuation class
, define the valuation classes for each account category reference.
3. Under
Material type/account category reference
, assign an account category reference to each material type.

Material group assignment to GL

Hi,
How to assign a material group to G/L so that the G/L automatically get
displayed at the time of PO creation
Sanjeev

HI Sanjeev,
The Automatic Account Trigger WRT to Material Group Happens as below.
OLME(Tcode)>Purchasing>Material Master-->Entry Aids for items With out material Master.
in the above node we assign Material Group to the valuation classs.
Since you are Using a Material Group,so the Po shoud always be a Account assigned PO only.
So account Assignment has Account Modifier Key ,which need ed to be Linked to the valuation class.
Now the automatic GL comes from the T code OBYC.
Against the Offsetting Account GBB-(Account Modifier Key Maintained in the account account assignment Category in Account assinermnt P)
For seeing the same go to OLME(tcode)--> account assignment -->Maintain account assignment.
get the Account modifier key.
And maintain the same in OBYC in GBB. with the GL Account.(Debit Entry)
Using the above the GL can be defaulted
There are other factors like valution calss,General modifers that can aslo be used for the same as selection parameters.
Know in this the Other key that can also be used ,which is valuation class as a Factor if you select the same
For Material Group Valution class commes from
OLME>Material Master> Entry aids without master..
Valution Class is maintained as below.
Valuation Class-- Defined in OMSK.
and the other Selection is the Valution Modifier.
it is maintined as below
Valuation MOdifier--OMWD.
here the valuation area(plant) and the company code is attached to a Valuation grouping code ,which is other wise called as valuation modifier.
hope so it helps
Regards
Anjanna.

Configure Automatic Postings
In this step, you enter the system settings for Inventory Management and Invoice Verification transactions for automatic postings to G/L accounts.
You can then check your settings using a simulation function.
Under Further information there is a list of transactions in Materials Management and their definitions.
What are automatic postings?
Postings are made to G/L accounts automatically in the case of Invoice Verification and Inventory Management transactions relevant to Financial and Cost Accounting.
Example:
Posting lines are created in the following accounts in the case of a goods issue for a cost center:
Stock account
Consumption account
How does the system find the relevant accounts?
When entering the goods movement, the user does not have to enter a G/L account, since the R/3 System automatically finds the accounts to which postings are to be made using the following data:
Chart of accounts of the company code
If the user enters a company code or a plant when entering a transaction, the R/3 System determines the chart of accounts which is valid for the company code.
You must define the automatic account determination individually for each chart of accounts.
You must define the automatic account determination individually for each chart of accounts.
Valuation grouping code of the valuation area
If the automatic account determination within a chart of accounts is to run differently for certain company codes or plants (valuation areas), assign different valuation grouping codes to these valuation areas.
You must define the automatic account determination individually for every valuation grouping code within a chart of accounts. It applies to all valuation areas which are assigned to this valuation grouping code.
If the user enters a company code or a plant when entering a transaction, the system determines the valuation area and the valuation grouping code.
Transaction/event key (internal processing key)
Posting transactions are predefined for those inventory management and invoice verification transactions relevant to accounting. Posting records, which are generalized in the value string, are assigned to each relevant movement type in inventory management and each transaction in invoice verification. These contain keys for the relevant posting transaction (for example, inventory posting and consumption posting) instead of actual G/L account numbers.
You do not have to define these transaction keys, they are determined automatically from the transaction (invoice verification) or the movement type (inventory management). All you have to do is assign the relevant G/L account to each posting transaction.
Account grouping (only for offsetting entries, consignment liabilities, and price differences)
Since the posting transaction "Offsetting entry for inventory posting" is used for different transactions (for example, goods issue, scrapping, physical inventory), which are assigned to different accounts (for example, consumption account, scrapping, expense/income from inventory differences), it is necessary to divide the posting transaction according to a further key: account grouping code.
An account grouping is assigned to each movement type in inventory management which uses the posting transaction "Offsetting entry for inventory posting".
Under the posting transaction "Offsetting entry for inventory posting", you must assign G/L accounts for every account grouping, that is, assign G/L accounts.
If you wish to post price differences to different price difference accounts in the case of goods receipts for purchase orders, goods receipts for orders, or other movements, you can define different account grouping codes for the transaction key.
Using the account grouping, you can also have different accounts for consignment liabilities and pipeline liabilities.
Valuation class of material or (in case of split valuation) the valuation type
The valuation class allows you to define automatic account determination that is dependent on the material. for example: you post a goods receipt of a raw material to a different stock account than if the goods receipt were for trading goods, even though the user enters the same transaction for both materials.
You can achieve this by assigning different valuation classes to the materials and by assigning different G/L accounts to the posting transaction for every valuation class.
If you do not want to differentiate according to valuation classes you do not have to maintain a valuation class for a transaction.
Requirements
Requirements
Before you maintain automatic postings, you must obtain the following information:
1. Valuation level ( plant or company code)
Establish whether the materials are valuated at plant or at company code level
When valuation is at plant level, the valuation area corresponds to a plant.
When valuation is at company code level, the valuation area corresponds to a company code.
Define valuation level
2. Chart of accounts and valuation grouping code per valuation area
Find out whether the valuation grouping code is active.
Activate split valuation
If it is not active, determine the chart of accounts assigned to each valuation area (via the company code).
If it is active, determine the chart of accounts and the valuation grouping code assigned to each valuation area.
Group valuation areas
You must define a separate account determination process for chart of accounts and each valuation grouping code.
. Valuation class per material type
If you wish to differentiate the account determination process for specific transactions according to valuation classes, find out which valuation classes are possible for each material type.
Define valuation classes
4. Account grouping for offsetting entries to stock accounts
Under Define account grouping for movement types, determine for which movement types an account grouping is defined for the transaction/event keys GGB (offsetting entry to stock posting), KON (consignment liabilities) and PRD (price differences).
Default settings
G/L account assignments for the charts of accounts INT and the valuation grouping code 0001 are SAP standard.
Activities
1. Create account keys for each chart of accounts and each valuation grouping code for the individual posting transactions. To do so, proceed as follows:
a) Call up the activity Configure Automatic Postings.
The R/3 system first checks whether the valuation areas are correctly maintained. If, for example, a plant is not assigned to a company code, a dialog box and an error message appear.
From this box, choose Continue (next entry) to continue the check.
Choose Cancel to end the check.
Choose Cancel to end the check.
The configuration menu Automatic postings appears.
b) Choose Goto -> Account assignment.
A list of posting transactions in Materials Management appears. For further details of the individual transactions, see Further information.
The Account determination indicator shows whether automatic account determination is defined for a transaction.
c) Choose a posting transaction.
A box appears for the first posting transaction. Here you can enter a chart of accounts.
You can enter the following data for each transaction:
Rules for account number assignments
With Goto -> Rules you can enter the factors on which the account number assignments depend:
- debit/credit indicator
- general grouping (= account grouping)
- valuation grouping
- valuation class
Posting keys for the posting lines
Normally you do not have to change the posting keys. If you wish to use new posting keys, you have to define them in the Customizing system of Financial Accounting
Account number assignments
You must assign G/L accounts for each transaction/event key (except KBS). You can assign these accounts manually or copy them from another chart of accounts via Edit -> Copy.
If you want to differentiate posting transactions (e.g. inventory postings) according to valuation classes, you must make an account assignment for each valuation class.
Using the posting transaction "Offsetting entry for inventory posting", you have to make an account assignment for each account grouping
If the transaction PRD (price differences) is also dependent on the account grouping, you must create three account assignments:
- an account assignment without account grouping
- an account assignment with account grouping PRF
- an account assignment with account grouping PRA
If the transaction KON (consignment and pipeline liabilities) is also dependent on the account grouping, you must create two account assignments:
- an account assignment without account grouping (consignment)
- an account assignment with account grouping (pipeline)
d) Save your settings.
2. Then check your settings with the
2. Then check your settings with the simulation function.
With the simulation function, you can simulate the following:
Inventory Management transactions
Invoice Verification transactions
When you enter a material or valuation class, the R/3 system determines the G/L accounts which are assigned to the corresponding posting transactions. Depending on the configuration, the SAP system checks whether the G/L account exists
In the simulation you can compare the field selection of the movement type with that of the individual accounts and make any corrections.
If you want to print the simulation, choose Simulation -> Report.
To carry out the simulation, proceed as follows:
a) Choose Settings to check the simulation defaults for
- the application area (Invoice Verification or Inventory Management)
- the input mode (material or valuation class)
- account assignment
Instructions
b) Choose Goto -> Simulation.
The screen for entering simulation data appears.
c) Depending on the valuation level, enter a plant or a company code on the screen.
d) When you simulate Inventory Management transactions, goods movements are simulated. The R/3 system suggests the first movement type for simulation. If several movements are possible with this movement type, you can select a line.
When you simulate Invoice Verification transactions, a list
The screen for entering simulation data appears.
c) Depending on the valuation level, enter a plant or a company code on the screen.
d) When you simulate Inventory Management transactions, goods movements are simulated. The R/3 system suggests the first movement type for simulation. If several movements are possible with this movement type, you can select a line.
When you simulate Invoice Verification transactions, a list appears on the screen of the possible transaction types. Select a line.
e) Then choose Goto -> Account assignments.
A list appears of the posting lines which can be created by the selected transaction. For each posting line, the G/L account for the debit posting as well as the G/L account for the credit posting are displayed.
f) From this screen, choose Goto -> Movement+ to get a list of the posting lines for the next movement type or transaction type.
If you work with valuation classes, choose Goto -> Valuation class+ to receive the simulation for the next valuation class. This function is not possible when simulating with material numbers.
Choose Goto -> Check screen layout to compare the movement type with the G/L accounts determined by the system and make any necessary corrections.
Note
The simulation function does NOT obviate the need for a trial posting!

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)
