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.

Activation Material Ledger with material working in price control "V"

Hi experts!
I have activated Material Ledger and I have a question about this..
1) Before the activation, I have for example a material with the next values in the "Accounting 1" tab:
Total stock = 7 UNI
Price Control = V
Moving price = 166 USD
Standard price = 166 USD
Total value = 1.162 USD (7 UNI*166 USD)
2) And after the Material Ledger activation, In the same material appears the next values in the "Accounting 1" tab.
Total stock = 7 UNI
Price Control = V
Standar price = 166 USD
Per.Unit price = 23,71 USD
Inventory value = 166 USD
I don´t understand if my total value before activation was 1.162 USD, when I have activated ML, the new value is 166 USD.
I dont´t understand why the value for the "Per.Unit price" is 23,71USD and not is 166 USD because this is the original value before ML activation..
I think that my inventory value must be the same before Material Ledger activation, (1.162 USD)???
Best Regards
Manuel

Hi Shaubhikg:
At first, thanks for your response.
I have founded another material wich has the next information before the material ledger activation:
In the Accounting 1 tab:
Price control: V
Moving price: 1.265,80 USD
Total stock: 5 UNI
Standard price: 553,00 USD
Total value: 6.329,00 USD
After the material Ledger production start up, the same material has the next information in USD:
Standard price: 553,00 USD
Per.unit price: 1.265,80 USD
Price control: V
Inventory value: 6.329,00 USD
In this case the total value of the stock is the same after and before to do the activation of ML. I think that this is good..
And can,t understand the example wich I saw you before.. In that case the Total value of the stock after activation Material Ledger is not the same that before activation..
The material doesn´t have any modification in his unit of measure..
Could you tell me someting about this issue??
Best regards!!

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.

Posting Taxes to Material cost - When price control is S - Standard Price

Hi Experts,
i have a material which is maintained with price control S. the material is having an info record with tax code I1 (5%), conditon type JP3E. when i am doing GR and IR, the tax amount is getting posted to a different G/L account. But not adding to material cost. Is it possible to add this tax amount to material cost, when price control is S.
Thanks & Regards,
Ravi

Hi Poorna,
Check transaction event key,
if it is std key 'NVV' it shold post to material cost.
or check in OBCN ur transaction key showing posting indicatpor '3' Distribute to relevant expense/revenue items.
Hope this will solve your problem.
Thanks and regards
Gitesh

Material Ledger Periodic Price

hello gurus,
we are activated the material ledger.when we run ckmlcp the perodic price become the standard price.but my client wants standard price only they wants perodic price only for statiscal purpose only
For ex:
std price 100
periodic price is 150
when we run the month end activities periodic price become the std price i.e 150
but our client wants std price 100 for all periods and periodic price only for information prupose
for this how can configure in the system
Regards,
Rihana

Dear Rihana,
You can change the Price determination control from '3' to '2'. For materials with 'price control' = 'S' and 'price determination
control' = '2' the periodic unit price (PUP or v-price) is for statistical purpose only. However, please note that 2S-materials will not be selected during period-end closing. Only 3S-materials will be handled in txn CKMLCP.
Kind Regards,

Material ledger (ML) price analysis, LACCS & CKMLLA return err. CKMLLA001

Dear colleagues,
We're experiencing problems analysing actual cost component split on material level after Material Ledger closing and need some help.
OSS-note 872421 "Cost component split display for activity types" comes with two transactions for the purpose of analysing prices. But both transactions LACCS & CKMLLA don't work in our system, returning error message "Header not found: message № CKMLLA001" after trying to view ML prices (F5) or get Price report from LACCS as well as on Price report (F8) in CKMLLA.
There's no further info available on message CKMLLA001. Did anyone here happened to get this message? What could it mean, what should we check?
We need for analysing ML prices because the values in cost components split (according to CKM3, Itemization) differ greatly from what was expected on the basis of price analysis in Cost Center accounting (e.g. S_ALR_87013611).
OSS-note note 880217 "Cost component split and price do not match" is implemented in our system, as well as recommendations from the corresponding note 1090144 "Preventing rounding errors in prices" are taken into account. For activity prices number of significant digits is set to 10, "no optimization" not selected. Though we don't get any warnings # 204: "Split and price of cost elem./activity type &1/&2 not consistent" during multi-level price determination, the totals are close to equal in ML costing compared to CC costing.

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 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

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?

FREIGHT COST TO BE ADDED TO MATERIAL VALUE FOR PRICE CONTROL"S"

hi,
How to add the frieght cost to material cost for the materials with "S" price control While doing MIGO ?
Edited by: ARITRA MUKHERJEE on Mar 3, 2010 5:07 PM

Hi
By stating Price control Indicator S ,it means that you are valuating your inventory at a standard or Fixed price (As maintainred in the Material master ).Hence your Inventory will be valuated at the standard price no matter what additional expenses you incur

Material ledger and cash journal

In a company code where and how do I check whether cash journal and Material Ledger is activated or not?

In fbcjc0 check whether any business transactions are set up or not in respect of your company code or not.

Split valuation and price control

Dear all,
Case :the price control for mat'l type MAIN is defined as S in IMG,
mat'l no.A with mat'l type MAIN,
test 1:
In plant 01, A with price control S
In plant 02, A with price control V, valuation category X, problem is when I create a PO in plant 02 with mat'l A,when goods receipt, the accounting docs is wrong(D:price difference, C:GR/IR), the debit should be inventory account, it should not hv price diff with price control V under this situation,
test 2,
In plant 02, A with price control V, without valuation category,the acounting document when goods receipt is correct.
test 3,
changed the price control for mat'l type MAIN to V in IMG,
In plant 02, A with price control V, valuation category X, when goods receipt , the accounting document is correct also.
I doubt why this happen, do the split valuation or valuation category X effect?or there's any priority abt price control?
Urgent, can anyone instruct me? thanks in advance, will assign points, thanks.
kathy

Hi, Kathy:
The price control in master data of material have the priority.
Besides, I guess the error happened is due to the incorrect valuation area configuration. If your valuation area is set to company code level, the system will use the same valuation method within a company code.
In this case, you need to set the valuation area as plant level to differentiate the valuation methods between different plants.
Hope it's helpful for you!

Material ledger - Multilevel price determination

Hello,
When there are transfer postings from Sales order stock to free stock, system has calculated multilevel price differences during settlement.
This material is a externally procured material and does not have any BOM.
Can some one explain the scenario when will the system calculate this multilevel price differences for a material which is externally procured and which does not have any BOM.

U have to use specil procurement type in Material master data.
Further cost based issues refer cost estimate w/o Quantity structure.

Material ledger and transfer pricing

Hi
Is it amndatory that I need to activate ML for configuring transfer pricing?

Yes. ML activation is a mandatory settings for transfer pricing.

Price control V and price determination 3

In the material master record 'price control is given as V and price determination indicator as 3 . With this combination , in the sale order pricing, which price would be picked up by VPRS condition ? Material ledger is activated for this material .
Regards
Mahesh .

hi,
For Make to order scenerio, the price of finished goods will be Standard price ' s'. for Raw material it will be Moving average price"v".
For VPRS condition it will take Standard price of product.
if ur using with Quantity structure, then the price of Raw material in BOM and routing will be shown in ck11n.
Better to take EK02 Condition in pricing procedure with maitaining Requirement class and type.
It will automatically show the price of finished product when u click on cost calculation tab in sales order.
