Material Ledger Check
I have few questions regarding ML. We have ML in place since long time, and now are planning to consider expenses that need to be picked in ML
1)Currently we have Valuation Area as ML active.
We are planning to have new Accounts that need to be pulled in ML run as part of period end.
My understanding is plant and material need to be ML active. If I want to roll the expenses back to material in above case how can I achive by Automatic assignments?
2) Scenario - If we directly post values in GL through interface does it pick in ML or which documents does ML look to calculate ?
I will appreciate if you can guide me in right direction
Thanks

Thanks for the info.
yes new cost will be part of product. I can maintain the cost element in Cost component structure. to reflect in that component. How are Price differences taken into consideration?
In our current setting I dont see price differences set up to any cost component structure, how is it being viewed by ML? Is it any setting we need to maintiain for the cost element or cos center?
Thanks

Material ledger is not active in valuation area C002
Dear All,
I have a Scheduling Agreement for a material 'A' with Vendor 'V' with diff prices with validity dates, I did the GR & when i am posting the invoice thro' miro, system is throwing error as above Material ledger is not active in valuation area C002 Why should I activate the material ledger here ? Pls suggest how can i solve this ?

For a Particular material, Material Ledger is active or not? Can be checked in Accountig view of Material Master.
Why we need Material Ledger?
A fundamental task of the material ledger is carrying inventories in multiple currencies and/or
valuations.
Material inventory values are normally carried by the SAP system in one currency. The material
ledger component enables the R/3 System to carry inventory values in two additional
currencies/valuations. Therefore, all goods movements in the material ledger are performed in up
to 3 currencies or valuations. Currency amounts are translated into foreign currencies at
historical exchange rates directly at the time of posting. Businesses such as those in highinflation
countries can therefore carry their inventories in a more stable currency (such as US
dollars). This reveals inflationary effects on inventory values.
If you use transfer prices to represent value flows in your company in different
valuation views, you must use the material ledger. This allows you to carry your
inventories in three different valuations (legal valuation, valuation for reporting
purposes, and profit center valuation).
Before activating the material ledger, make sure you know which currencies and valuations
you want to use, because you cannot go back and change the setting.
Activating the material ledger is a prerequisite for using multiple valuations.

Material ledger is not active in valuation area S001
Dear All,
I have created a Scheduling Agreement & did the GR. When I am doing invoice posting system is throwing error as Material ledger is not active in valuation area S001
What might be wrong here ? For same material if I create PO then everything is working fine. Problem is only with SA.
regds,
CBHi,
Please check your Material Ledger Activation setting for the Valuation AreaC002 in T-code OMX1. The Check box for the ML activation against the Valuation Area-S001 may be ticked. After activation/ticking this box, T-code CKMSTART was not executed to complete the ML activation. If you want the activation of Material Ledger, you have to run T-code CKMSTART to complete this ML activation or Otherwise uncheck this box. I hope this step will resolve your issue.

General Ledger Special Ledger out of balance *URGENT* Material Ledger???
We've activated Material Ledger in a company code in Jan'07.
Accounting document created because of 102 Movement type FI document looks fine but in Special Ledger document dollars against Group currency are posted to Price Difference account? This is not happening for all 102movement type documents but i couldn't establish the pattern! Any help would be highly appreciated.
Some background:
Company code and Controlling Area both got USD as main currency.
This problem is sporadic and with 102 movement type only.
Materials causing issue got Price control 'S' and Price determination '2"Hi Raghu,
Probably I am mistaken; I was talking about SPL field movements and user exits used there. you can check that through transaction GCB2 where ledger is assigned to a company code and then u can drill down to activity and field movement assigned to the activity and can find if a user exit is used to post to a price difference account.
Let me know if I am talking about relevant stuff here. If it is with SPL then I can help u more.
Thanks,

Material Ledger Unit Of Measurement different from Material Master
Dear Team,
In my client, there is a difference between unit visible in CKM3N and MM03. The base unit of measurement in MM03 is MT. Other than that, there are some other units maintained (not M3) in additional data tab in material master. In CKM3N, the visible unit is M3. M3 is not present anywhere in MM03.
Why would such unit flow in material ledger table? (CKMLPP has unit M3). Please advise.
One more observation is that when there is some price change document in Material Ledger, the proper UoM (MT) is being captured. Only in the basic price determination structure visible unit for each head is M3. Please check the attached screen shot.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Jay Shah.Hi..
Refer to Data Inconsistency of BUOM in Material Ledger Tables -
Dear All,
Issue: Not able to post Good receipt due to the error that material does not exit.
Background: we have activated user exit in material master for material type ZROH and assigned a internal number range to it in MMNR. this user exit will append the material group mentioned during master creation in the internal code generated by system.
example PPMM is the material group and the internal code generated by system is 122222 so when we save the material in mm01 our material code is PPMM122222.
we are trying to do GR by 501 and now the material ledger function module is truncating PPMM from the material code and its trying to post document with 1222222. which then goes into error that material does not exist.
Analysis: I have checked in the MARA/MARC the material code is PPMM1222222. but i guess in some table whcih is relevant for material ledger system has stored internal material number 1222222.
So I am looking for tables or solution for this isssueHi Expert,
Please refer the SAP Standard Material Ledger Tables:
The following tables contain data that can appear in the material ledger documents:
Table - MLHD - Material Ledger Document: Header
Table - MLIT- Material Ledger Document: Items
Table - MLPP - Material Ledger Document: Posting Periods and Quantities
Table - MLPPF - Material Ledger Document: Field Groups (Posting Periods and Quantities)
Table - MLCR - Material Ledger Document: Currencies and Values
Table - MLCRF - Material Ledger Document: Field Groups (Currencies and Values)
Table - MLCRP - Material Ledger Document: Price Change (Currencies, Prices)
Table - MLMST - Material Ledger Document: Costing Run Header Data

Issue with Standard Cost estimates / Material Ledger
Background:
We have been using SAP for the last 5 years with Material Ledger active. Due to a number of reasons, we have not revised its standard cost estimates from 2001 till now. This means that at month end, we do not mark and release prices as recommended, nor do we mark prices and use dynamic release.
What Happened:
A new material called PFSW3 was made. This is a FERT. Before production
could start my team released the standard cost estimate for this material. Production was now able to proceed without problem. Then, when the time came to sell the material (VF02), SAP again raised the error 'cost estimate not found'. On checking the standard price in MM03, we discovered that the future cost estimate was missing. So we created and marked a new cost estimate in the middle of February 2007.
Problem:
When the first sale took place, SAP released the marked cost estimate and posted a Price Change document to adjust for the new standard cost. I understand this was due to dynamic release. Now, when month end came, the system settled all the production orders of material PFSW3 but did not do multi level costing on it.
Internal Investigation:
My team has determined that the material PFSW3 has price determination 2 set by mistake. All our other production materials (HALB and FERT) are
set to price determination 3 in the material master (accounting view).
Questions:
To sum this situation up,
we need to know why the material PFSW3 was not marked closed in its period status (CKM3) at the time of closing through CKMLCP?
What are the implications of not closing this material in Feb 2007 (current period status is showing 'Quantities and values entered')?
How can we close this material this month?
The future cost estimate is again missing for PFSW3 in March 2007 and I
fear we are going to face more problems as this material is sold to customers.
Please respond this is an urgent issue.Dear Shumyl,
Please, have a look at Note 645083 - Material period status set to "Closing Entry Completed" that might help to closing your material in previous period.
Hope it will be useful.

hi all,
i have some problem here.
we use 2 local currency. first local currency is IDR, and second local currency is USD.
our client use material ledger, so in material master accounting 1, we maintain 2 value of inventory (in IDR and USD)
let say we create material XXX (using standard price) in 01 jan 2011 , with IDR value 1,000,000. the system will convert to USD with exchange rate in 01 jan 2011 (which is 10,000). so the USD value will be 1,000,000/10,000 = 100 USD.
then in 10 january 2011, Sales order is created for material XXX with document currency USD .
cond type VPRS get 1,000,000 IDR and covert to doc Curr (USD) with exchange rate in 10 jan 2011 (which is 9,000).
so the VPRS value in USD will be 1,000,000/9,000 = 111,11 USD.
by this case, the VPRS value in sales order is DIFFERENT with value in Material Master. it also become a problem when we want to see PROFIT MARGIN.
can cond type VPRS get the correct USD value according to Material Master?
thanks.
Best Regard,
HendryPlease check the following notes which may help you

Cost of goods manufactured vs COGS+ Material ledger
Hi Experts,
My company is implenting Material Ledger. They want to see the actual cost of goods manufactured. We are able to develop the actual cost of goods sold in COPA. The required report is to show:
1- Direct material used at standard + variances (price + usage) to give the actual.
2- Direct labor (standard + variances = Actual)
3- Manufacturing overhead ( standard + variances = Actual)
Attached excel file is showing the requirement.
Your guidance to develop this report by any means (Report painter, BI, other).
Regards
Ahmed Zain HassanHi Ahmed / Ajay.
1. In order reports KKO0, you dont see the revaluation of ML, as you said Consumption and Activities are revaluated at Material level, and as far as i know, theres no way to add records that represent the revaluation.
2. The easy way to have a Order Report revaluated at actual cost is with LIS(Logistic InfoSys), creating a Z infostructure (eg copy lis S027) that store consumption and activity QTY, and a user exit that read the actual cost of consumed materials (depending if this is V, S2, S3) and activities and revaluate. In LIS, there are standard way to "re-post" or repopulate the infostructures. This LIS can be reported with the standard functions (ReportPainter, quers on SQ01), or create a Z tcode that show the info stored in the way you want. Problem: Not all know how to customize LIS, and also you need code in the exit.
3. In my country (Peru), there are lots of companies that develop a Z Kardex valuated at actual cost (because, is a legal requirement), and also create Zprograms that calculate the order at actual cost (indeed, i create this reports twice). Its a bit complex, but not impossible and depends on custo EG if you have multiple valuations, you need to write code in order to get the infor for this specific valuations.
4. About COPA, you can post to copa the Actual Cost Component Split calculated by ML. In this CCS, you can identify the Labor, Direct Materials, and overheads. You have 2 options, You can post the delta to the original field or have an aditional field that store the difference. This stuff is done in KE27, i see 1 example in the SCN (i guess i bookmarked). Its important to understand you dont have the detail of the delta per consumed material, just an agregated value.
Here is the link
http://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/ERPFI/KE27+Periodic+Valuation
5. There is a new ML DrillDown report functionality. Indeed, i couldnt spend time analizing the solution (my test system is with EHP5 and dont plant to upload the OSS), but i guess this is the future. You can look for info with tcode KKML0 in the marketplace, also check this oss 1639462 - ERP accelerators: enhancements in ML drilldown reporting
My questions:
What you want?
+ Order Report, i mean Cost detaild per Order? The Actual CCS por order?
+ Material Report? I mean, the monthly average of a Fert, and its CCS ?
+ a PA Report, that show Sales (Incomes), and Costs per matiral , split by Direct, Labor and OverHead?

Automatic creation of a Material Ledger document
Hi,
I need to automatically create a Material Ledger document with reference to a material and split valuation code, there are BAPI or Function that may I use?
Thanks
Gianmario BelottiHi,
First of all you should maintain transaction OMS2 to allow quantity & value update for the material type & valuation area
otherwise it is not relevant for material ledger.
Regarding how you have to activate the split valuation for a material, please keep in mind the following:
if no valuation category has been assigned to a material (MBEW-BWTTY is blank), and you wish to assign multiple valuation
categories (split valuation) to this material, then the material must not have linked documents and the stock must be zero for both
the current and previous periods.
If you make an attempt to assign a valuation category for this material, error message M3194 will be raised.
Please check the attached note 30656 concerning limitations associated with changing the valuation category.
Please also check note 155874, which outlines what must be performed in order to change the valuation category.

Material ledger error while doing GR
Hello,
I am getting the error " Error reading material ledger header record while doing Gr for particular material.when double clicked the error,I see this message "Internal error in function module CKMS_HEADER_READ_WITH_ITAB"
what may be the issue?
Regards
GouthamHI,
I assume, you got the problem after material ledger activation or Material split valuation
please check the following two points;
There may be one reason, i hope the material is split valuated after creation of PO. Plese check the Material master in the accounting view whether it is split valuation activated or not
2. problem is other side, at the time PO creation, material is having split valuation after that materil was changed to non- split valuation.
With regards

MR11- The price for material && will be negative - Material Ledger Active
Hi All,
The material ledger is active and user is getting error message "The price for material && will be negative" while doing MR11. I found the below SAP Notes:
sapnote_0000010757_FAQ MR11, clear GRIR clearing account
sapnote_0000174684_Procedure for error C+121C+131, price
sapnote_0000320941_Posting in spite of negative price
sapnote_0000790426_MR11 Functionality
I found SAP Note: 174684_Procedure for error C+121C+131, price , but it seems to give a temporary solution of changing the price using MR21 / MR22. The error has become very frequent.
I appreciate, if someone can help me know the pros and cons of using MR21/MR22 transaction when material ledger is active, because I am not able to figure out where will the MR21 / MR22 transaction have impacts in MM and CO?
Is there anyway to do away with the recurrence of Error message permanently?
Thanks in advance!!!
Sagar K.Hi:
This error occurs when PO price does not match with Moving average price in Material price.
First check the price in PO and in Moving average price in Material Master. If the Moving average price is less than PO, go the T.code MR21 to change the moving average price to PO Price.
Also check T.code MRBR - it will show why the invoice is blocked.
Please let me know if you need more information.
Assign points if useful.

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 for Stock Transfer Postings
Hi All,
I have a question about the way material ledger is calculated for stock transfer postings (movement type 641). I will give an example to illustrate this issue:
Material A has a Standard cost of $10
Material B has a Standard cost of $8
During the month 100 units were transferred from material A to Material B. This created a financial posting as follows:
Credit Material A - $1000
Debit Material B - $800
Debit Price Difference $200
This price difference of $200 was used in the calculation of Actual cost for material B
However, the Actual Cost for Material A was $9. I would have expected the system to use this actual cost to calculate the difference to be posted to material B. Hence the difference used in Material B should have been $100 {(9 8) X 100} and not $200.
Has anyone had a similar issue, or know how the system resolves this (if at all)?
Points will be rewarded for relevance.
ThanksDave, I see that your process is slightly different to mine. We do not revalue inventory at month end, instead the material ledger program posts the revalued amount to a reserve account and the actual cost is only a statistical entry. The material ledger calculation is reversed automatically in the new month and the standard price is used for valuation.
I think this might make it difficult for the system to value STO's at actual. I may need to check with SAP.
Thanks
