Material ledger accounting entries

Dear All,
i need material ledger related all accounting entries. I am confused with some entries.please do the needful urgent.
regards
K S Rangarajan

Hi
Material ledger/Actual costing updates the MM master at actual costs at period end.
Let us give an accounting entry by way of an example
Beginning inventory= 10 KG at $10= $100
Goods receipt=15 kg at $11          = $165
Total value         25 KG at $265 (unit price =10.60)
However Inventory is valued at $250 because of Price control indicator S, thus there is a price difference (Dr) of $15
On revaluation at period end, Dr Inventory $15
                                           Cr Price difference $15
This is a simple case. Add to that exchange fluctuations, Invoice value resulting in price difference, etc. Assume a Goods issue of 12KG in the same period, it will be initially valued at $10, however on material price determination, this price difference of $0.60 per unit is assigned to consumption as well.
Hope you understand better

Material ledger accounts range

Dear Experts
can you please explain ,
1]What is " Material ledger accounts Range " were it is created ,
2] what is its use
3]How to run material ledger
regards
bhaskar

Hi,
Material Ledger is created to follow the transaction posted through various movement types and check for any price changes.
The configuration for Material Ledger is done in Controlling > Product Cost Controlling > Actual Costing/material ledger.
The number ranges for material documents are based on the nature of transactions and transaction groups.
You have to create the Material ledger documents under document type ML and for passing on the entries to accounting
use document type 47. Material price valuation is a periodic activity done through CKMF and CKMH. You have the
analysis of the material prices through CKM3.

Error in material ledger closing entry (message number KE396)

Hi friend
i met a problem in material ledger closing entry ,the message number is KE396
after checked some transaction data and master data ,i find that some one change the division in material master during the period and change back to the the old division during the period ,the division is one of the characteristic in copa ,System will check the derivation via material master when we run the material ledger closing,so it went error and said the Inconsistency between a document field and the prof. segment number
Then i use KE26 to repost the COPA line item ,but it also went error when i run the material ledger closing entry
can you tell me how to solve this issue
thanks

Hi,
Please raise an OSS message as this is a program error.
Momentarily you can try the following:
1. Do not select option "Set CO Account Assignment" in Post Closing.
2. If the above action does not resolve the error, then force close the material and then run the Post Closing. Surely this is not an ideal situation and must be adopted if there are only very few materials.

How to reverse material ledger closing entries beyond previous period?

In a test system, the system does not permit reverse material ledger closing entries. The current period is 04/2008.
Getting a message C+716 message
You want to cancel closing entries in valuation area XXXX for period 008 in fiscal year 2007.
You are allowed to cancel closing entries only in the previous period. Reversing closing entries for periods before the previous period is not possible.
There are provision to run closing entries like MUST_SETTLE in the ok code features, Are there,any such for reversal? Could there be any work-around?

Hi David
If you dont need to perform the close itself but would just like to get the periods in the correct status you can use the process outlined in note 645083.
In the material ledger, it may be necessary for different reasons to manually set the period status of materials in former periods to 70 ("Closing Entry Completed") without actually carrying out the closing entry.
It provides program Z_ML_SET_PP_STATUS_70 that will allow a manual update to the prior period status.
There is a pre-requisite regarding revaluation amounts, but this is all described in the notes.

Reg: Material Ledger Account posting

Hello Everyone,
We have Material Ledger active for a plant with transaction based price determination (Price Control V). I have posted a GR & its creating 2 Accounting docs. One with Transaction keys BSX, WRX & PRD.
WRX is calculating correctly based on the PO price. But, I am not sure how BSX is calculated as its not picking the Periodic Price unit in the current period.
Could you please guide how account posing (GR & IR) will happen for a material with Price control V & Material Ledger active.
Thanks in Advance,
Uswin

Hi Uswin,
if you look at the second FI document generated upon the GR, I'm pretty sure you will find that in this document, the price difference from the first document ist "reversed" and the amount added to inventory value, correct? So the end result is the same as it would be without material ledger (GR valued at PO price), it just happens in two steps. Therefore, what Frederick said is not 100% correct, as only the end result is the same with and without ML for V/2 materials, but not each single document.
Secondly, as to why the PRD arises on GR.
In my system I found the same case. A GR with a PRD posting for a material with price control V and price determination 2.
In my case I found the PRD to be in fact a rounding difference, which arose in the following way:
Price in PO was 57,78 u20AC/10 pieces. The price unit in material master, however, is 1 unit.
Now what the system seems to have done is:
(1) round the price in PO to the price unit from material master: result: 5,78 u20AC/piece
(2) Post 5,78 u20AC * pieces received to stock value, the difference (5,778 - 5,78)*pieces received to PRD account
(3) POst a second document reversing the PRD and addig it to stock value
Perhaps, the reason for a "price difference" arising is similar in your case

Material Ledger Closing Entry Missing

Dear Experts,
WE have implemented material ledger for Actual Costing. During the material ledger activities (CKMLCP)for the month of March, system showed an error message that "Clsoging entries are not posted for Previous Month" and proces of march was also terminated. AS the Material period for February and March are closed, the way out for closing of material ledger for the month of April without error (after posting the closing entries for March) may please be informed.
Thanking You
with regards
Muraleedharan MK

Hi MK,
ML is very rigid.. you have to complete the steps every month.. other wise ML documents have impact ...
You have to open previous period and get it done.. no way out..

Material Ledger Closing entries

Hi Group
I would like to know how SAP determines below text at the time of Material ledger closing. By example I could make it out but I want standard document or somewhere in system I can see how this determines.
EBPRD: Single-level pr. diff. beginning inventory
EBPRV: Multi-level pr. diff. beginning inventory
VNPRD: Offset against single-level price diff.
EBPRD: Write off single-level price differences
EBPRV: Write off multi-level price differences
VNPRV: Offset against multi-level price diff.
ZUPRV: Price differences from previous levels
Best regards,
Amit

Hey,
Can you let me know when did you do the ML startup?
At production start, the system automatically sets all materials to price determination control 2, which will not be included in ckmlcp processing.
And when you change the price determination from 2 to 3 via CKMM, the period status will be automatically changed to "new object", for which there's no need to do the period end closing.
Anyway, if your materials is with status 30 for the previous periods, the most convenient solution is to manually set it to 70 for the last period. You may achieve this via program MLHELP_SET_PP_STATUS_70. You only need to do it for the period before last period. Then you can go ahead with the normal period end closing process for the previous period.

How to treat the accounting entries for the Process industry?

Hi SAP Gurus,
I am working with the Process industry client. Here one raw material goes with chain of process. In one plant half of the process will carried out and the rest of the half process would be carried in another plant. the entire accounting entry would be as follow.
Plat A
While Purchasing the RAW material the account entries are
Raw material Inventory A a/c     Dr
     To GR/IR a/c                Cr
While issuing material to process order
Consumption a/c      Dr
     To Raw material A inventory   A/c      Cr
While the FG receipt into the stock
FG B inventory      a/c     Dr
     To COGM   a/c      Cr
Stock Transfer from Plant A to Plant B
Goods issue from Plant A
Goods in Transit   a/c        Dr
To FG B inventory      a/c     Cr
Plant B
Goods Receipt at Plant B
FG B inventory a/c      Dr
     To Goods in Transit a/c      Cr
While issuing Goods to process order
Consumption a/c      Dr
     To FG B inventory a/c     Cr
While Final FG receipt
FG C inventory a/c Dr
     To COGM a/c          Cr
In this case mine consumption account gets hitted two times. One at Plant A and another at Plant B. So in my P&L account the consumption will be in two times. In this case how should i treat the accounting entry??
Advance thanks for the help.
Regards,
Deva

Hi Ravi,
I have discussed with my user. The business requirement is they want the plant wise Balancesheet and Financial statement. If i do the stock transfer from one plant to another it is very difficult for me to get the balance sheet. What we are planning is while transfering one plant to another the FG invertory credit agaist Intra transfer account (One P&L account) then in the receiving end the intra transfer a/c debit to FG inventory so that i can get the trial balance.
I will get back to you once i get the solution for this. Let me know if you have some idea on this.
Thank you.
Deva.

Material Ledger Status for exisitng materials change

Hi,
What is the best way to perform material ledger closing entries for pre-existing materials in plant?
I have a plant that already has pre-exisiting materials since 01/2009 or prior, and then we activated material ledger for this plant.
Of course, we then try to run actual costing CKMLCP for these existing materials for period 05/2010, and is errored with
"carry-out period-end closing for materials in previous period" message. I try OSS note 361236 to close out periods that are older than previous period..with the MMPV period shift situation; but is not helping because these materials are already existing, so I can have CKM3 analysis for these materials as far back as 01/2006...as I ran report S_ALR_87013180 to check the period status for all these materials to see how far do i have to go back in terms of period/fiscal yr.
My question is, if there are pre-existing materials active in the plant and then we activated ML, how far do I have to go back to get the CKMLCP done? Or what is the best way to handle such scenarios?
any advice?

Hey,
Can you let me know when did you do the ML startup?
At production start, the system automatically sets all materials to price determination control 2, which will not be included in ckmlcp processing.

Canceling Material Ledger

Hi all,
I need to understand better which are the consequences in material ledger canceling procedure described in the following SAP notes:
SAP Note 108374 - Canceling material ledger production startup

In particular I'm intrerested in which are the tables anda data involved by the deleting procedure.
My goal is the subsiquent reactivation of the material ledger in a multiple valuation scenario as described in the SAP note:

Material ledger activity rate revaluation account determination modification

Scenario:
SAP ECC 617
Material ledger activated with activity rate revaluation (i.e. cost center over/under absorption posts to ML and not to production orders)
Standard SAP setup has PRV transaction key used to post both multi-level price differences to inventory and to capture the offset to the cost center clearing entries (GBB-AUI) causing the values to get comingled in the same account
Question:
For reporting purposes I would like to determine a unique account for the activity rate revaluation entries. There is no relevant general modifier available for transaction key PRV. Is it possible and practical to modify table T169A for a specific value string / field name combination that represents this material ledger transaction? If so, what is the combination? Or will this cause major issues with ML processing?
I'm trying to find a creative way to fill this gap without account substitution.

Hi Eric,
This is an interesting one.
Modifying value string might be an option but in my opinion is quite a serious "brain surgery" on the system :-).
You may want to try another option.
In SPRO -> Controlling -> General Controlling -> Organization -> Maintain Versions
for version 0, Controlling Area Settings, Settings for Each Fiscal Year in tab Price Calculation there is field Revaluation.
One of the options there is 'Own business transaction'. With this option posting to sending Cost Centre resulting from actual activity price revaluation will be posted with different Business Transaction (although same secondary cost element as original activity allocation).
In reports you can separate postings based on Business transaction.
It definitely works for Activity Update 1 (revaluation of production orders).
I'm not sure if it works for Activity Udate 2 (no revaluation of production orders).
Please let us know the results of your investigation.
Regards,
Szymon

GR/IR account problem with material ledger

Hi,
I just found an issue as effect of material ledger implementation.
after the material ledger is active, when we post a transaction in foreign currency (invoice receipt), the LC 2 amount of GR/IR account is somehow different from the document amount, and the difference is transferred into Material price difference account that we maintain in OBYC - PRD transaction.
because of this, the LC2 amount of GR/IR account can't be cleared.
any suggestion, please?
thanks,
Nasikhin

hi,
It will affect your valuation for the document, which are still open..
You shd run this only after closing all documents and completing whole MM cycle..
Once this is run, you can't go back and make settlements...
So, beware...

Material Ledger : Actual Cost settlement to Consumption Accounts

Dear CO Experts,
We are aware that when we run CKMLCP, all variances (in the Price Diff GL Account) due to Material Prices flutuation, diff in Standard & Actual Cost of Production, etc. would finally get settled to Consumption or Stock Account in its appropriate ratios.
Consumption Acount GL is a Cost Element with Cost Category as 1.
There can be cases, when there are diferences in Production Order, due to fluctuations in Prices or Actual consumption is more than standard consumption.
When a Production Order is settled the difference is posted to Price Diff Account.
When a Material Ledger (Actual Costing) is executed, Price Diff Account is targetted to be Zero. The Price Diff is then splitted in Stock & Consumtion Account in its appropriate ratios.
Main Question :
Since, Consumption Acount GL is a Cost Element with Cost Category as 1, what shall be the CO Account Assignment Object, when the ML value is settled to Consumption Accounts.

hi merchant..
   1. Price diff between stnd and act is initially goes to PRD a/c through OBYC setting at the time of GR/Invoiceing/Issue if mat is set as S&3.
   2. In case of mat set as V&2 idially there should not be any diff but may arise some small amount due to "no or less stock qty" at the time of invoicing.
3. When CKMLCP is run these price diff & order settlement diff splitted to cons and stock as you mentioned.
Now your question :
" Since, Consumption Acount GL is a Cost Element with Cost Category as 1, what shall be the CO Account Assignment Object, when the ML value is settled to Consumption Accounts"
    Cons GL is cost element cat 1 for capturing mat mov for Issues to orders/cost centres,oth co obj for primary posting at stnd price.
    Now at the time of CKMLCP run you revaluate the materials and price diff are splitted to cons & stock and goes to mat to calculate act cost (stnd +/- prd).
I think this will give you some light on your issue.
