Material Ledger Closing Error - Msg
Hi All,
please share your inputs on how to overcome the below error.
Background:
I have activated ML with price detrmination indicator as 2 and actual costing.
All finished and semi finished goods will be valuated with Std price with indicator as 3 in material master.
All raw materials will have V price with price indicator as 2.
Basically we only want to report or revaluate the production differences at multi level to post to final component.
Now when I am trying to do Transaction CKMLCP in the new period I was able to run all steps successfully. But while doing the Post closing step I am getting the below error.
Debit/credit indicator is inconsistent
Message no. F5846
+Diagnosis+
+The debit/credit indicator "H" was transferred to item "0000000002" of the FI/CO document. However, a debit/credit indicator of "" was derived because of posting key "".+
+The transferred posting key and transferred debit/credit indicator are inconsistent.+
I have checked few SAP notes like 53694
18499.
Request anyone to pass on valuable inputs on how to overcome this problem.
Thanks,

Hi Karl,
Thanks a lot.
Here is my exact problem.
After doing the costing run and closing steps systme has updated the peridic unit price for the last period and changed the price control as V in the mateial master. This is fine as per my understanding.
1.The next step I understand is to mark and release the periodic unit price as standard price of the next month thru CKMPRPN. Is this correct?
2. System will revaluate the closing inventory of the previous month at the end of csoting run and posts accounting document for the same.? Is this correct?
3. I am not sure what are all keys in OBYC are relevant for ML postings though I have set PRV and PRY , UMB. I dont want to use LKW as no provisions are allowed here.
kindly clarify.
Thanks,
Vamsi

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
thanksHi,
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.

Dear Gurus,
While material ledger closing using CMKLCP,i need clarification for the following process.
1. Single/level
2. Multilevel.
3. Revaluation of Consumption
4. WIP Calculation
5.Post closing
6. Price update.
can anyone explain about the above process outcome, what is the difference between material ledger WIP Calculation and Production order WIP Calculation.
While price update for price control material S, we need to re run cost estimate or it will update the new prices.
Appriciated for valuable inputs.
Ramesh.Hi Ramesh .
Hope you understand clearly the purpose of standard costing and why we use Material Ledger .
Standard Costing is based on a pre-determined /derived prices for a period/year and all costs are caputed on the basis of the standard Cost . Goods Issues/Receipt , consumption all are at standard cost.
COGS GL Account is at standard and all the inventories are at standard ..
Difference between standard and actual costs are captured as variances in different GL Account . Mainly we have two variances... price variances ( at the time of purchases ) and usage variances at the time of production ..
Material Ledger is a seperate module.. where it calculates the actual costs . Variances are rolled back to the consumption accounts ( which is at standard ) to derive the actual cost . Actual Cost = Standard Cost + Variances .
1. Now Finished Material is made of Raw Material and Semi-Finished Goods . ...When we calculate the actual costs of finished product .. we can find out the actual costs of raw materials and semi-finished goods. ML will find out the actual cost of raw material , semi-finished goods and finished goods. This concept is know as multi-level determination ... In Single level.. only one level of material cost is computed as actual.. not rolled back to the lowest level.
2. Revaluation of consumption during ML run means .. the COGS ( which was at standard earlier) is now being revaluted and becomes actual..
3. WIP Calculation calculates the WIP costs on actual.
4. Post Closing Step will put the new GL entries.. where variances will be nullified and COGS and inventory will become actual.
5. Price Update is optional.. you can make the actual costs computed as standard cost for the next month..
Production Order WIp Calculation = Actual Qty X Standard Rate
ML WIP Calculation = Actual Qty x Actual Rate
Please revert back for any further clarifications

Material Ledger - Closing Postings
Dear Material Ledger Experts,
I need to clear my concepts regarding Material Ledger Closing Postings :
Standard Price of Finished Goods : $10
Produced Units via Process Order: 1000 Units
Variance Settled to P&L Accounts : $1 Per Unit
P.G.I Units : (300 Units)
By the end of the month, I have executed end to end Material Ledger Closing Run and it updates all materials involved in the production of Finished Goods:
Date : 30.06.2014 (End of Month)
Raw Material Inventory : Increased.
Packing Material Inventory: Increased.
Revaluation of COGS of 300 Units : Increased.
Date : 01.07.2014 (Start of Next Month)
Raw Material Inventory : Decreased.(by the same amount)
Packing Material Inventory: Decreased.(by the same amount)
System updates Inventory held which is 700 units as well as inventory sold which is 300 units.
Now my cause of concern is regarding revaluation of COGS of 300 units sold on which already variances were calculated at the time of process order settlement:
Variance Settlement @ Process Order Settlement : 1$ X 300 Units.
Revaluation of COGS at month end : 1$ X 300 Units (again)
Which causes duplication of cost on P&L Accounts.
Please guide me regarding this issue and work around to solve this
Thanks in Advance !
Regards,
Zain BashirDear Bulut,
At the time of variance settlement, following entries were posted :
Production Efficiency Variance (Dr) <P&L>
Inventory Change (Cr) <P&L>.
and at the time of COGS Revaluation, following entries were posted :
COGS (Dr) <P&L>
Material Ledger Clearing Account (Cr) <P&L>

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.

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,
AmitHey,
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.

Material ledger - closing prior periods
We have a need (currently in development environment) where material ledger closing is not in sync with material period closing. Is there a way to "catch up" the material ledger. this is in a development environment only at this point. Basically, does anyone know how to close a material ledger period for more than 1 month back in history. e.g. curr period 1/2009 prev period 12/2008 ..like to close for periods prior to 12/2008

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 MKHi 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..

CKMLCP Material ledger closing
Hi,
We are doing closing entries for material ledter. After executing all the steps, when we are checking the detail of materials in VIEW of CKMLCP, it looks for some of the material the Closing entry doesn't took plance
All the other activities like WIP & consumption revalution are done, but for many of the materials the closing entry not processed by the system.
So if we are going to CKMI and then processing some of the materails it is performing the closing where as the materials which are of multileve nature for them the system is not processing. Do we need to uncheck the WIP & Consumption revaluation option and also what are the possibliities that system could not consider the materails for closing...
Regards.....
Shree JHi...
You can avoid this problem by changing Price control from 'S' to 'V' and Indicator from '3' to '2'. However you should know the business requirement. If moving average price is serve the material valuation you can change.

Error msg shown while cancelling the GR - Material Document
Hi All,
While trying to cancell the GR for an Asset / Material the following error msg shown:
Balance for transaction type group 10 negative for the area 01
Message no. AA629
Asset affected: 000000107102-0000
Diagnosis
With the transaction entered, the balance for the transactions in group 10 in area 01 will be negative in this fiscal year. However, the balance of transaction type group 10, according to its definition, must be positive in each fiscal year.
System Response
The system rejects this posting.
Procedure
Check the transaction type, the amount and the fiscal year in your posting. If you want to post a credit memo to an acquisition from the previous year, then use a transaction type for a retirement. If necessary, you can change balance rules after talking with your SAP consultant.
Can any one help what is the reason and how to find out the error.

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 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,

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,
SbpsbpHi,
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. -
Tables used for material ledger
What are the standard tables used for material ledger
Hi,
All req. configuration i have defined in last thread...
The following tables contain data that can appear in the material ledger documents:
· MLHD Material Ledger Document: Header
· MLIT Material Ledger Document: Items
· MLPP Material Ledger Document: Posting Periods and Quantities
· MLPPF Material Ledger Document: Field Groups (Posting Periods and Quantities)
· MLCR Material Ledger Document: Currencies and Values
· MLCRF Material Ledger Document: Field Groups (Currencies and Values)
· MLCRP Material Ledger Document: Price Change (Currencies, Prices)
· MLMST Material Ledger Document: Costing Run Header Data
The following types of material ledger documents are available, differing by transaction type:
· CL Material Ledger Closing Entries
· UP Material Ledger Update
· PC Price Changes
· ST Single-Level Price Determination
· MS Multilevel Price Determination
· RE Material Ledger Data Repairs
USE :
Material ledger documents are data that is recorded during each business transaction that is relevant to valuation. You can archive documents for closed periods when they are no longer needed for material price determination or reporting purposes. Archiving the documents deletes them from the database.
