Material Ledger activation at Company Code Level

Hi All,
I have a requirement where Material Ledger need to be activated at Company level and not at single Plant Level. We are about to implement ML and would like to have periodic unit price calculated at company code level  (e.g. 1 material, 4 plants, 1 company = 1 periodic unit price).
I went through the customization , it only refers to Plant level (Valuation area level)
Could anybody throw light on this.
Regards
Barbara

Hi,
What is the valuation level?
If the valuation is at plant level you can maintain different views at different plants of these company codes.
If only name is different i think you would do better with the same material code, and if you still want to differentiate please create two different materials

  • Material Ledger activation (COML) - multiple plants in single company code.

    Hi -
    Material Ledger activation (COML)- multiple plants in single company code.
    In large mfg plant - process industry (proposed to dived into number of production plants), Matrial 'a'  is produced in plant 'a'.Material 'a' is input to procude matl 'B' in plant 'B"..so on and so forth.
    We are activating Material Ledger (COML) for actual costing purpose. Question -During multi level price determination, will the variance of lower level materials ( produced in lowerlevel /other plants in our case) be rolled up to higher level materials (in a different plant). please let me know if it really works, if yes what are the guidelines (if any) .
    Please advise ASAP.
    Thanks

    Hi Chris,
    from a business point of view there is a  difference that you might take into consideration: The valauation level will always be on material and plant combination. That means, the division into several virtual plants will usually lead to different actual prices for the same material in each plant. That might happen for example when you carry over stocks from last month into the current month in one plant, while the other plant has only receipts from the current month.
    That might me desired, but often it is not. If the mutiple plants are in reality only one location it might be hard to explain why the prices differ between plants.

  • Material valuation at company code level

    Hi,
    We have the valuation at company code level and when we transfer material from one plant to another (Two step stock transfer) the system dont post  fi document. When the profit center of the material is assign an fi document is posted. Somebody knows why?
    Thanks

    you have valuation at company code level.
    both plants are in same company code, so same valuation level, so no FI document created , the FI docuement not required here
    For profit center, FI document will be ceated for that profit center.
    This is standard process only

  • Is it possible that we generate material requirement in MRP at company code level?

    We want to generate material requirement in MRP at company code level, what is the possibility or any work around.
    Thanx in Advance.

    Hi Mirza
    This is not possible on the standard system. The highest planning level on MRP is the plant.
    It has been discussed on the following thread, where BAdI MD_CHANGE_MRP_DATA was proposed as a solution, however, the logic to be implemented on this BAdI is very complex:
    MRP Run considering Stocks for Multiple Plants and Requirement maintained for Plant Cluster
    If you want to know more about the BAdIs available on MRP check the following document:
    BAdIs for MRP
    Another alternative is to use flexible planning to plant at company code level, then disaggregate the planning to the plants and transfer the result to demand management and MRP.
    See the following thread for details:

  • Vluation at company code level and transfer prices in EC-PCA

    Hi,
    We have the following configuration:
    1. Valuation of stock at Company Code level.
    2. Transfer pricing between Profit Center (i.e. Material Ledger is active).
    we experience some technical issues (e.g. we get error message when entering MM03 accounting view). Our Plants and Company Codes were created using copying standard SAP delivered Org. units.
    Did any of you implement such a configuration? Do you have knowledge of limitations and problems that might result?
    TIA for you help,
    Avihay

    Never mind. We managed somehow to figure it out ourselves.

  • Customer-based BP role, Company Code level data

    System ECC 5.0.
    May be somebody can help me in a problem with Company code level data for BP.
    I'm trying to create new BP in custom Z role (created by me), on company code data screen I cannot set "Company Code Is Valid for Customer" indicator on company code selection dialog box.
    I use custom Z role with assigned custom Z rolecategory (with active BP-customer syncronizaton), It seems that there is a missing setting in SPRO for rolecategory that activate possibility to enter company code data.....

    After some investigation.... the problem was not in customising, but in some requirements from code: BP role should have the same name as s BP rolecategory. After renaming it goes.

  • MRP at company code level

    Dear Experts,
    We required MRP at Company code level.
    We have 33 plants for MRP run , While running MRP system has to consider Finish Goods stocks of all plant's location should be consider for Availiblity check
    MRP run carried with scope of planning , in this scope of planning all the
    required plants are assigned , during planning Run , the stocks at other
    plants are not consider during NET requirement calculation.
    In turn it creates the planned independent requirement directly.
    So kindly suggest where we are going wroung. 
    Thanks 
    Material with scope of planning for all required plants.
    1. material with MRP type --- PD
    2.procurement type --- F and X (since planning external )
    3.Planning strategy --10

    Don,
    We required MRP at Company code level
    SAP PP does not explicitly support this requirement.  Since each plant is owned by a single company, you can run MRP against all plants owned by a specific company.  This will at least select the right materials for processing.
    While running MRP system has to consider Finish Goods stocks of all plant's location should be consider for Availability check
    MRP is not related to availability check.  FYI, if you are actually talking about availability check, and not MRP, there is no availability check available in ECC that will check inventory across plants.
    the stocks at other plants are not consider during NET requirement calculation.
    Yes.  This is normal.
    In turn it creates the planned independent requirement directly.
    MRP does not create Planned independent requirements.
    In short, you are doing nothing wrong.  This is the way that it works.  If this is unacceptable, then you will need to create a customized solution with Enhancements or BADIs.

  • CO-period lock for planning on company code level

    Hello,
    I would like to ask you for assistence.
    We would like to have the possiblity to lock the CO-periods on company code levels. For actual values, it is possible to arrange this within the validation. However, for plan values the validation is not active.
    I have read about possibility to enhance an user exit for paritcular planning transactions (KP06, KP26 etc.), but I can't find it anymore.
    Does anybody from you have experience with this, eventually is there another option?
    Thanks in advance
    Peter

    I have had a similiar problem and contact to remote consulting from SAP. They offered a modification (10-15 days if I remember correctly) to make CO period lock company code depending.
    If I remember correctly, his name was Valentin (in Germany).
    However: if newGL is active with real-time integration and also plan transfer, I think it should be possible to lock in FI.
    regards

  • 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

  • Classic profit centers reporting full b/s  below company code level

    Dear Experts,
    we are using classic profit center. How to get Profit center wise balance sheet below company code level.
    Facing issues for balance sheet GL accounts as at 3KEH one profit center i can choose...my requirement is to get 2 balance sheets for two profit centers.
    any suggestions ?
    Regards,
    Sekhar

    Hello Sekhar,
    With Classic profit center accounting correct balance sheet cannot be ensured at Profit center level.
    This is due to following reasons
    1. Vendor/ Customer line items -
    No assignment of Vendor/Customer recon accounts to Profit center in 3KEH.
    But in period end you have to execute F.5D and 1KEK to transfer this values to Profit center accounting based on the offsetting line items.
    This also might create problems if you don't clear the open items on period end as your Sales/Purchase will go to one Profit center and Payment will go to other (defaulted for Bank/Cash). Cleared items are not transferred
    Also, Transaction between Vendor and Customer will lead to some values posting in Dummy profit center.
    2. Asset line items
    Profit center will be determined by Asset master
    3. Tax accounts
    Mostly it has to go with Default Profit center. SAP has given option for re-determination of Tax line items profit center based on off-setting line items during period end (Tax account should be assigned to Dummy profit center in 3KEH). But this will work only for Sales/Purchase transaction, as payment will go to default profit center used for Cash/Bank. Again it might lead to confusion.
    4. Material accounts
    Profit center assigned in Material master is used.
    5. Other Balance sheet accounts
    These accounts like Bank, Cash, loan etc has to be assigned to default Profit centers using 3KEH. Else, user has to enter the correct Profit center during entry. If missed out, it will go to default profit center. Remember, balance sheet accounts not included in 3KEH (except for Vendor/Customer) will not be transferred to Profit center accounting itself.
    Hope it helps..
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Valuation at company code  level

    Hi friends! How to configure valuation at Company code level?

    use t.code: OX14
    You define the valuation level by specifying the level at which material stocks are valuated. You can valuate material stocks at the following levels:
    Plant level
    Valuation must be at this level in the following cases:
    If you want to use the application component Production Planning (PP) or Costing
    If your system is a SAP Retail system
    Company code level
    The decision you make is valid for the whole client. You are recommended setting material valuation at plant level.

  • Valuation at plant level and company code level

    Hi,
    Can someone explain me the difference between the valuation at plant level and company code level with a real world example?
    Regards,
    Malsha Kalubowila

    Hi,
    Inventory can be valuated at two levels either at company code level or at plant level. If you select valuation at company code level, all materials across all the plants will have same material price since valuation is at only company code level.
    Say for example Company code 1000 is buying a material which unit price is Rs. 10 from a vendor who supplies to two different plant A & B of company code 1000.  Assume Plant A is situated near vendor premises itself (so freight cost is Re 1 extra)  whereas plant B is situated at far away from vendor place (so freight cost rs 2 extra) and both cases freight cost is borne by the company and not by vendor.
    Assuming you have selected valuation at plant level, now in plant A same material will be valauted at Rs. 11 (10 +1) whereas at plant B it is valuated at Rs. 12 (10+2).
    Whereas if you have selected valuation at company code level, price will not be valuated at plant level rather at company code level which will get updated at moving average price in this case.
    So it is always best practice to select valuation at plant level rather than at company code level.

  • Restrict PO at company code level

    Hi,
    We have near about 10 number of company code and lot of plants attached to each company code.
    and only one purchase organisation.
    Now business require that PO shold be created only for 2 company codes not for all. there are alreday roles available for PO creation .
    Now how to restrcit the PO creation at company code level because at plant level it is not possible due to large number of plants.
    Regards,
    Pardeep Malik

    Hi,
    Please kindly be informed that the following authorization objects are checked when an Enjoy purchase order is created (activity 01) or changed (activity 02):
    - M_BEST_BSA (document type in PO)
    - M_BEST_EKG (purchasing group in PO)
    - M_BEST_EKO (purchasing organization in PO)
    - M_BEST_WRK (plant in PO)
    So this is somthing you can not solve by only using roles. You will need as suggested to make the check in the BADI.

  • Valuation Area at Company Code level

    Hi,
    In what ideal business case/industry one should set valuation area at company code level when SAP recommends valuation area must be set at Plant level ? in other words..what is the practical purpose of Valuation area at company Code level?

    Hi
    Think that valuation area link with records in table MBEW. So, if you have a company with 3 plants, and you have a single valuation for all company, in 3 plants the valuation of materials are the same, with their implications in valuation of stock and valuation of margin in sales (remember that this value can flow -really, use to flow- to condition VPRS in SD, well see SAP Note 1365939 - VPRS logic and Customizing settings in SD and SAP Note 547570 - FAQ: VPRS in pricing for more details). If you do a valuation different by plant, stock and margin calculations are different.
    What are the elements that you must considerer?
    1. If the materials is purchased, think if the same material have different conditions (different conditions in MM, for instance, indirect costs as shipment costs, different vendor with meaningful differences in prices or discounts). It's indiferent that it is a raw material or a material that you can sell. The raw material will work in product costing as an item in BOM. First of all, considerer the impact in stock value, second think how is delivered the materials to customer from plants and their impact in profitability analysis. If there are meaningful differences for the same material between different plants and you give the same value in all company, depending of the mix perhaps your customer is fooling himself about this issue.
    2. If the material is manufactured, talk with your CO consultant and what kind of impact could have different routings, BOM and prices of raw materials between plants. Same considerations for valuation of stocks and margin.
    Finally, in the page 10 of the document you can read
    Valuation must be at Plant level in the following cases:
    u2022If you want to use the application component Production Planning (PP) or Costing
    u2022If your system is a SAP Retail system
    I hope this helps you
    Regards
    Eduardo
    PD: I forgot, talk this with the CFO of the company, taking in account the restrictions (when it must be plant level).
