Material ledger and cost estmate

Hi all
Can any body tell me the impact on material ledger of deleting the current standard cost estimate from material master? The requirement has come for change the current standard cost from material master whom we have released on 01.01.2008 and now today at 07.01.2008 we want to change this. All the transactions for material in current period I have got the reverse. Now I will delete the cost estimate from T_code CKR1 and than the new standard cost will releases from today in same period. At month end we are going to run the actual costing. Would be any problem in actual costing?
Thanks and Reagrds
Vinay Thakre

thanks Pascal for prompt response,would you please advise my below understanding to ML and actual cost
1)CKMLCP - Edit Costing Run to create costing run to calculated periodic unit price
2)Because there are some activities in CKMLCP,we have to respectively execute CKMF / CKMG/CKMJ / CKMH / CKMI for each activity of costing run
3)after costing run with CIMLCP,SAP will use calculated periodic unit price to revaluate inventory for previous period,and the price indicator S automatically changed to V for previous as well.
4)SAP will generate FI cocument to adj inventory and consumption cost after "post closing"
5)there is different periodic unit price for each closed period
5)the price indicator for closed period is always V,the price indicator in current period is S

Material Ledger Actual costing - fully costed BOMs and variance type split

We are in the process of activating material ledger and have 2 user
requirements that we have not yet been able to complete. First, the
difference between standard cost and weighted average cost needs to be
split between the variance types (raw material purchase price, raw
material usage, packaging price, packaging usage, etc.). Secondly we
need a fully exploded cost itemization that supports the weighted
average cost, similar to the costing structure pane in transaction
ck13n.
Do you know of any custom developement that might assist us in these
requirements, or have any information that might help us develop a
process to calculate these values ourselves.
Thanks

Variance between Material Ledger and General Ledger of

There is again a variance between Material Ledger and General Ledger of
7.026,64 (Tcode MB5L) as it was already in $$100036500(G/L).
The strange thing is, that there is only a difference in the GL Account
Balance report (FS10N) for S240077000(G/L ). In the Line Item report (FBL3N)
all documents are available. This issue impacts at least the Balance
carry forward negativ at the year end, because the system will forward
the the amount of the balance for S240077000, which is now 7.026,64 to
less.
Ther first investigations results:
- all Material- and FI documents are available.
- the variances in June refer to FI-documnets 4900015286 and 4900015293.
- the documents, e.g. 4900015292 and 4900015287, are correct and was
posted at the same day by the same user and with the same transaction
MI07.
- there are no differences for the posted materials identificable from
the other materials

Material Ledger/Actual costing MLAC
MLAC is used where the FG cost varies every month due to external procurement variation.
Ex: Jan 2011
FG cost of manufcature internally = 100
FG cost of procurement externally = 120 ( Company procures due to capacity constraint)
FG Standard price at the end of month = 110...This is standard price of FG
Due to heavy fluctuations in the month of February 2011 in procurement...
Ex: Feb 2011
FG cost of manufcature internally = 140
FG cost of procurement externally = 460 ( Company procures due to capacity constraint)
FG Standard price at the end of month = 300...This is standard price of FG.
The variance is very high in Feb 2011 and company want to absorb this variance in Feb 2011 iteslef hence they will use MLAC.
So if the variance is within reasonable limits company usually do not follow MLAC.
Where as if the variance is very high company usually follow MLAC.
In Pharma Industry usually the variance is very high on month to month basis hence they follow MLAC.
Where as in Industrial Mahcineery Manufacturing Company the variance is with in reasonable limits hence they do not follow MLAC. Ofcourse they can use MLAC as well.

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.

MATERIAL LEDGER AND PRICE CONTROL V

Hi Gurus.
In a Plant I've activated material ledger and some materials have price control V. how does price control V works with material ledger? the average price is uptated at the end of the month or is updated with every receipt?
Kind Regards.

Hi Andres,
What is the price determination indicator in material master? is it 3 or 2?
Materail ledger during the Actaul Costing Run consider only the price determination indicator 3 material masters.
Generally all BOM component material masters, we should maintain price determination indicator 3 and price control S.
All other materials you can have price determination indicator 2 and price control V.

Material Ledger - Actual costing

Hi experts,
I am searching for the best practices with ML actual costing.
Please let me know whether it is the best choice to ML perform costing run based on YTD, or periodwise?
What are your experiences related to production orders WIP calculations and prevent of lost costs?
Please advice whether I can count with some positives or negatives while I decided to use ML costing run on YTD basis?
Thanks a lot

Hi Jay,
that can be done without issues. At least not from a system point of view. If the company's finance people and the auditor can live with a new valuation method in the middle of the year, just activate material ledger and perform the closing from that ponit in time onwards.
And even if they are not sure: you still can activate ML and calculate the actual prices, but then don't post them as revaluations but just as accruals, more or less statistically.
best regards,
Udo

Reg. price maintenance in material master and Costing

Dear Experts
I have maintained price for material in material master and costing,but when I create PO price didn't come from anywhere. Pls help me.
Thanks
Rajakumar.k

Dear Rajakumar,
The values that are maintained in the material master in costing view is considered only for costing
purpose.
Say while doing the cost estimate for a material using CK40N,a costing variant will be used and say For
Eg,PPC1,for this a valuation variant will be linked ,as per this valuation variant for costing purpose the
first priority would have been given to the planned price in the material master in costing 2 view.
So this value will be considered only for costing purpose.
For procurement related things you have to maintain a purchase info record for a material + vendor
combination in ME11 and a source list in ME01.
In the purchase info record you can maintain a price for buying the material from that vendor.
I hope this will clear your doubts.
Check and revert back.

Material ledger and standard cost estimate

Hi Gurus,
When standard cost estimate is done in a scenario, where material ledger is activated, does the entire stock get revaluated andl post a credit in my P/L? Is it possible to keep my inventory(FG and SFG) at periodic unit price ie at the actual manufacturing price over a longer period say 3 years? Please fill this gap in my understanding.
Best regards
Vimal

Hi Vimal,
Material ledger uses the standard price as 'preliminary price' always during the current month, independent of the question if a new standard price was estimated and released.
But: After period end, when the actual price is calculated the posting will adjust the inventory and P/L accounts to the actual price, with posting date in the recent period.
That means if you have a material that was manufactured once and then consumed over a 3 year period, and during that period you calculate the same material in a standard cost estimate with changing results, that would mean: Looking back at any month during the 3 years the consumption and stock values will be valued at the actual price of manufacturing. But during the currently open period it will always be valuated at the price of the last released cost estimate.
I hope I understood your scenario correct...
Best regards, Udo

Material ledger wrong cost component split

i have change the price detemination from '2' to '3' in the material ledger in period 04/2011.
now i wont to execute costing run for actual cost in period 10/2010. to do this i have update tables CKMLPRKEKO e CKMLPRKEPH..
in this mode I don't have error in costing run, but i have a big problem . i don'have a correct cost component split becouse all the value is on row material.
i give a look to the SAP table and i find table MLAUFKEPH and table MLKEPH that don't have data for period 10/2010.
someone can help me?
thank you.
Your issue is not related to FI but with MM, therefore your thread was moved to MM forum so the experts will be able to help you better.
FI Moderator.

I think this table gets updated only during changes to the material price(Accounting View) thats basically price change.
Once the Material is created, price changes are carried out using MR21.

Material Master (Material Ledger- Product cost actual costing)

When I create a material in MM01 and no Standard price is set the columns "Company code currency" y "Profit valuation" are disabled.
The only column available is the one corresponding to company code currency. The field "Price unit" starts with the number of 1000 and this information is not copied to the other price unit fields unless you introduce a value in the Standar price - Company code currency field.
Does any one knows a user exit that can modify this values (Price unit - Group Currency and Price unit - Profit valuation) ?
Kind Regards

Hi
1. It is not mondatory to activate Material ledger to create Product Cost collector.
2 It is not mondatory to create product cost collector if we actovate Material Ledger.
Material ledger Activation
1. In OMX1 activate ML and price determination 3 for production plants and 2 for sales depo plants (if need)
2 In. OMX3 assign ML type standard
3. Configure dynamic price changes : assign price release 1
4. Assign material update structure to a valuation area
5. Activate actual costing indicator and assign 2 Activity update relevant to price determination
PCC:
1.In KKF6N,enter the material,plant and select create button and select the order type as
RM01, radio button selected for production version and assign the production version here
2.Save the PCC for preliminary costing
3. PCC integrates with PP module in production version selection

Material Ledger-Actual costing Run

Deal All,
I would like to run actual costing for previous period and current period (April-Mar)
08-Nov
09-Dec
But I have not done the period end closing for prior perods means 01-07.
If I do now actual cost run for 08 & 09 what will be the impact on systems?
Best Regards,
Sbpsbp

Hi,
Basically a monthly Material Ledger closing should be processed in all period, so you already have shifted a period in material master, you cannot processed a couple of preceding months with some error: C712 or C805 etc.
If you are facing above situation, please check SAP Note 361236.

Enhance 2LIS_03_UM to include Material Ledger and Group Currency

Hi all,
I have searching for a solution for this issue for almost a week now both in SDN and Service Marketplace but seems that there is very less informaton about it.
Background:
We are in the process of implementing the standard content for Inventory in BI and have followed all the steps necessary to initialize and load data. Out data matches perfectly with reports such as MC.1 and MB5L however in the Revaluation datasource there is no provision to pickup other currency type for material price maintained in material ledger.
I have been trying to find some User Exit/BADI either in the V1/V2 posting or during V3 collection run to pick the delta in standard price and Moving Average Price (MAP) for these difference currency types but without any success.
We have total three valuations maintained in the ML (Material Ledger)
10 - Local Currency (this is the only one provided in the standard content extractor)
30 - Group Currency With Group Valuation
31 - Group Currency with Legal valuation
Even if I change the Group currency in MR21 the change is picked up by 2LIS_03_BF and with the field BWGEO blank. This is not surprising since this field is for Local currency only.
I am sure that someone must have faced this issue before where material ledger is active, any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Raj

Hi,
Delta load extracts data from Delta Queue based on your update mode selected in LBWE.
Full Load or Init load extracts data from Setup tables, here if you are extracting data from setup tables ? did you fill the setup tables now or not after deleting the existing data of the setup tables?
are you getting same values when compare to R/3 and BW data for some document numbers?

Material Ledger - actual costing in intercompany transfer order

Hi Gurus,
in my client's scenario there are a lot a of one-step intercompany transfer order (from plant A in company 1 to plant B in company 2), the ML is active and we have EHP4.
We're into the design phase and the client doesn't know yet exactelly the requirements but i would need to know the possibile solutions about actual costing calculation:
Case 1: is it possible to have the actual cost and cost component split in receiver plant equal to the sender one, and with margin between sender and receiver in a dedicated cost element? What are the settings to be done in SAP?
Case 2: is it possible to have the actual cost and cost component split in receiver plant NOT equal to the sender one, so with cost component split only depending by the price condition into the intercompany PO and margin between sender and receiver NOT in a dedicated cost element? What are the settings to be done in SAP?
Thank you very much!!
