Material ledger-Configuration

Hi,
Can someone please provide documents/write-up on Material ledger configuration?
Thanks,
Usha.

Hi ,
  The Material Ledger(ML) is a tool within the CO Module that collects all transactional data for materials whose master data is stored in the material master. It acts as a subledger for selected materials that captures all goods movements, invoice values, transfers and price changes. On the basis of this data, the material ledger calculates and maintains the actual cost for these materials. This actual cost can then be utilized to valuate the material stock accounts.
Functions of Material Ledger:
-     Cost accounting using actual prices.
-     Storing values of stock in three different valuations (legal valuation, group valuation for reporting purposes, and profit center valuation) in multiple currencies.
   If you need any furthr docs let me know ..i will send docs ,,

  • Material Ledger Configuration Details

    hi friends,,
    can you help me out by sending detailed configuration material steps for Material Ledger
    & also how to view the scrap quantity at subcontractor stage
    with regards,
    jaya prakash

    Hi,
    To configure Accounting setting for material management use tcode FBKP  then double clock on the field  "automatic posting"
    select the field  "Material Management" then assign  to each  transaction key the corresponding G/L account.
    Concerning the subcontractor Stock use tcode MBLB. But you have no information about quality issue.  I mean we can't say anything whether the stock at subcontractor is useable or scrap.
    If your subcontractor has a scrap material he will  make a return of material to your plant. At this moment you can acheive the receiption through movement 542 and put the stock in restricted use.
    regards

  • How to configure Material Ledger?

    Does anybody knows how to configure material ledger? Please give me details on how to configure. Please and thank you.

    Hi,
    Here you need to define the valution method in t.code"OB59"
    then you need to assign the GL like forex gain and fore loss accounts in t.code"OBA1", now if you think there is difference then you can valuate in t.code"F-05".
    Hope understood and you can reward if you are cleared.

  • Parallel currency in company code require material ledger activation

    Hello,
    I have a requirement where the company is using parallel currency in NEWGL concept with two different currencies INR and USD.
    I want to have a clarification whether I Need to activate Material ledger with parallel currency.
    1. Company is using parallel currency with only one legal valuation view.
    2. There is no requirement for product costing in the company.
    Can the balance in general ledger can be seen in both currency for inventory balances.
    Awaiting for your inputs
    Thanks

    If you don't need parallel currency at present, there's no need to configure it. Why should that be a problem, as long as your Business needs are not relevant to using a parallel currency?
    I suspect your actual query is details regarding the future problems that you might face when, faced by changed Business scenarios, you are forced to introduce parallel currency at a future date
    If my suspicion is correct, I suggest you look at SAP Note 39919. It's an old note - but one that I've found contains quite relevant tips and tricks about introducing parallel currency in a productive environment.
    Remember to assign points if found useful.

  • Material Ledger Functionality with Non Valuated Sales Order Stock

    We are in the process of setting up Make To Order (MTO) with Non Valuated Sales Order Stock. We currently use the Material Ledger in our other businesses that use Process Orders.
    Does the Material Ledger functionality support MTO with Non Valuated Sales Order Stock? I have been testing this and have not yet figured out how to get ML postings. We are using production orders that settle to sales orders. We do not bring this into inventory, the costs reside on the sales order.
    If this functionality does exist, I would assume I need to configure the Material Update Structure but I cannot find any documentation on this.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Regards,
    Greg

    Hi Greg,
    no, material ledger will not be able to calculate and allocate actual costs for the sales order in the scenario you describe. It would of course, if you used the valuated sales order stock.
    Generally SAP sees in the valuated sales order stocks (avaliable since 3,1 or something) a great improvement and no real reason to use still the non-valuated scenario.
    best regards,

  • Group and legal costs without Material Ledger

    I was wondering is there a way we could have both the group cost and the legal cost in the system without having to configure material ledger. Currently we have Group cost in the system and no legal cost.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi NIK83,
    There is no other way to have multiple valuations w/o having ML in SAP
    ML is the only solution... If you want to upload the legal values, you can use the tax price or commercial price fields and take out a report comparing the 2 values using T code MRN9
    but, you will have to uplaod these values.. these cant be calculated w/o ML

  • Material ledger in material master

    hello friends
    how to remove the check from check box of material ledger in accounting view of material master it is shown in gray field. also price determination field is mandatory how to optional it.

    Hi,
    In the configuration the material ledger might be active in the valuation area.If it is active in the valuation area then the check box in the material master is automatically checked.
    If the material ledger is active for a particular valuation area, all materials in the valuation area are valuated using the material ledger.
    If you activate the material ledger for a plant, you should also activate it for all the other plants in the company code. This ensures that the accounts in Financial Accounting and Materials Management are reconciled.
    You can deactivate this in SPRO-Controlling -General controlling--Multiple valuation approaches-Basic settings-Check material ledger settings.
    But be careful about the controlling settings while changing this.

  • Business Area - Material Ledger

    Hello,
    Analyzing some material ledger documents (type ML) on a determined g/l account (fbl3n), I noticed some postings for only one specific material that Business Area code did not appear. 
    I guess it´s something related to that material.  Where should I investigate ?

    Hello,
    I have found the root cause of this issue. The material has division 30 on master data(MARA-SPART) . 
    In SPRO I went to Enterprise Structure -> Assignment -> Sales and Dist. -> Business Area Account Assignment -> Assign Business Area to Plant And Division  and I could notice that this division is not configured to show business area.

  • Material ledger currency types-manually

    Hi,
    I have a question about material ledger  currency types.
    Does it cause any problem if i have set the currency types manually as different then additional local currencies for company code in FI? I have to set the  currencies manually. Does it have some disadvanteges? Because when i try to do this in configuration system gives a warning:
    "Do not make any changes (SAP entry)
    Message no. SV117
    Diagnosis
    You have changed an entry which, according to the name space definition is managed by SAP.
    System Response
    Your changes may be overwritten at each subsequent upgrade or release change.
    Procedure
    Avoid changing this data. If the change is inavoidable, document it carefully, so that it can be repeated, if necessary, after an upgrade or release change. The best way to do this is to put the data in a change request, which you can export before an upgrade or release change, and import again afterwards."
    I need your helps.
    Thanks a lot.

  • Blogs for Material Ledger

    Hi
    I have a situation where Material are using 2V and the material inventory left with some price difference .
    For example we have issued PO for 10 pieces as Project Stock @ 10 $ each , At the time of MIRO we have a price diff of 0.50$ each piece .
    Before MIRO we have issued the stock to Project . In one of the material the price diff of 0.50$ was absorbed by the consumption to Network where as another material left with Price Diff which is causing a diff in GL and Inventory Values .
    My question is why this happened where the two material has same setting . Second question , how to adjust the Inventory diff ?
    Logicaly this price diff should be absorbed to Project Network .
    Thanks
    Vijay

    Hi,
    First of, thanks for the valuable information.
    We are getting ready to activate actual costing.
    Material ledger has been active for quite some time now (multiple fiscal years), with all materials activated at standard (S) and price determination "transaction based" (2). Costing runs are only run on a yearly basis.
    I am currently establishing my conversion plan.
    I believe I have all the necessary steps identified (exception made for one little clarification) and am still working the timing.
    A couple of questions:
    1. Should I update my materials with a price determination value 3 before or after my configuration is imported in production? I understand that the configuration will really fall in place at the time I run actual costing at month end (CKMLCP) but I am wondering if there is any dependency with the price determination update (2 to 3) from a timing/sequence standpoint.
    2. Is it necessary to run, mark and release a cost estimate right after the price determination has been changed (from 2 to 3) and before any goods movements take place or does updating the price determination to 3 is sufficient to support actual costing at month end (i.e. is the cost estimate in existence with a price determination 2 sufficient)?
    3. Any particular aspects/steps I should pay attention to as far as going live with actual costing? In general, what would be the ideal sequence of events?
    Thanks a lot for your help,
    Regards.

  • Alternative valuation run methodolgy for material ledger

    Hi Experts
    Does someone can explain me how to customize alternative valuation run in SAP and how to use it.
    Do I have to run it from CKMLCPAVR or from CKMLCP.
    Can I run for same plant and same period the AVR in CKMLCP ?
    On the screen of CKMLCPAVR I don't have nothing in Creat Cost estimate ??
    THanks and regards
    Djamel

    Hi Djamel ,
    1. Purpose of Material Ledger Run (CKMLCP) is to calculate actual cost of the product .. and you can update material master with actual cost ( optional step).SAP uses weighted average methord when calculating actual cost.
    2. Purpose of Alternate Valuation Run (CKMLCPAVR) is to have a actual cost for analysis purpose . You can use weighted average methord or use can use FIFO , LIFO valuation methord also  . Ifd you want to use LIFO/FIFO methord .. you have to configure LIFO/FIFO customization and use the standard BADI give in the SPRO menu .
    3. CKMLCP and CKMLCPAVR have no depencies and you can run that for same plant .. or you can run anyone of them . Both the purposes are different .
    4. On the screen of CKMLCPAVR I don't have nothing in Creat Cost estimate ?? Implement SAP Note 659447 - No process steps in AVR cockpit ... it will solve your issues .
    5. For CKMLCP.. OBYC settings are as per transaction key "BSX" ... OSS Note : 908737 - Post Closing in Material Ledger
    6. CKMLCPAVR -- OBYC settings are as per transaction key "BSD " .. as if required manual entry has to be done to have actual costs . So , inventory account must have manual updation tick in GL master
    7. To sum -up... OBYC settings you have to do for CKMLCPAVR and any valuation approach you use other than default SAP weighted avergae methord ( LIFO or FIFO)
    Hope it clarifies ... Do revert bac for any further clarifications..
    Regards
