Material Ledger doubt
Hi All
Can anybody please explain regarding the transaction key LKW ( in TCODE : OBYC configuration)
As this LKW key is for Material Ledger documents postings for Accrual and defferals account. As per my knowledge system post the FI document to relevant GL assigned , when we do the ML Costing Run (using TCODE : CKMLCP).At the time of run in the step posting if we don't select the revaluate material check box, system is asking for assignment of GL to LKW key.But the thing is i don't know which entries it'll posted in this case and why it is required to post
But, could anybody please explain the purpose the key LKW.
It'll be great helpful for me

Dear Kalappa,
If I want to revalue the stocks, Material Ledger ask me to configurate OBYC operations PRD, PRV and PRY , what kind of accounts I must define here?.
I think if I not going to revalue stocks the consumption is going to be in the actual month you said I must use revenue accounts, it is correct? can you explain more about it? In that case ML is going to make accounting complementary? because all the movements in the beginning was costed by standard cost but now I calculate the Periodic Internal Price, ML is going to make accounting between the difference Periodic Internal price and Standard price for example for movements like consumption, cost of good sales...?
I would appreciate your help as soons as possible.

Material ledger Conceptual doubt
Dear Guru's,
I have one doubt regarding Activate Actual costing.
What is importance of these below fields.
0 No activity update
1 Activity update not relevant to price determination
2 Activity update relevant to price determination
If we select "1" what is impact, means whether we have to do month end process at cost center or material ledger. What are the dependencies for this.
or If we select "2", where we have to month end process. in material ledger means where we have to our month end process.
Please explain process. i have read help document. but i am confusing my self.
Thanks,
AK.Hi Kumar,
You can refer below link related to your query.
Material ledger
Notes: (May be useful)
If you use Actual Costing, you can decide whether (in addition to material consumption) activity consumption on cost centers and process consumption of business processes that are required to produce a material should be updated in the quantity structure in the Actual Costing/Material Ledger.
Depending on which activation type is chosen
Actual consumption is updated in the quantity structure but not considered by price determination.
You can use this setting if you simply want information about the complete actual quantity structure. You can assign variances between the plan price of the cost center/activity type or process, and the actual price calculated at period end to the particular cost object at period-end closing using the function 'Revaluation at Actual Prices'.
Actual consumption is updated in the quantity structure and taken into account for the price determination.
If you choose this setting, the variances between the plan price and the actual price are adjusted subsequently. The cost center or the process is then credited and the material associated with the consumption is debited. In the context of multi-level price determination, these variances can be rolled up through the production structure up to the finished product in the same way that material price variances are rolled up.
If you choose this setting, you cannot use the function 'Revaluation at Actual Prices' at period closing in Cost Object Controlling, as the variances from the cost centers/processes are debited to the material direct. If you do use the function 'Revaluation at Actual Prices' at period closing, the cost centers/processes are credited twice and the materials are debited twice.

Material Ledger Activation in a live environment
Hi Experts,
My client is already in a live SAP environment. So now they would like to activate Material Ledger/Actual Costing to enable the actual cost calculation. I have never worked in an environment where we activated ML in a live system.
The client is considering activating ML for the purpose of actual costing. We are also considering parallel valuations i.e. we would like to use Group Valuations to satisfy group reporting requirement.
Would appreciate if you could provide some insights or guidance on how to do this. Specifically, I also would like to understand the following areas with regards to the above requirements:
1. Timing - should we do this only in a new fiscal year or we can do this at the start of a new period during the year;
2. How can we migrate the actual cost with the right cost components
Thank you for your reply.
TLHi TL,
All your above-said requirements can be fulfilled by activation of ML. Regarding your doubts :
01. Timingu2014As per SAP, there is no time constraint for ML Activation. The ML Activation program i.e., t-code-CKMLSTART will look after all system required settings. The date on which you have activated ML, for all Material Types, the preliminary valuation will become u201CStandard Priceu201D, all the Price/FOREX differences will be accumulated in ML Price differences categories. After the ML month-end activities, system will calculate the average price i.e., Periodic Unit Price (PUP). PUP will be treated as Actual Current Product cost, Month-end Inventory Value of the material. It can also be used as future Standard Price.
02. . How can we migrate the actual cost with the right cost components :
No need of migration of actual cost with right cost components. All Actual Material movements transaction data i.e., Beginning Inventory, Goods Receipt, Goods Issue, Ending inventory will be reflected in ML. The Components are same as per the Product Cost Planning Cost Components which are available in assigned Cost Component structure. These will be reflected in ML Analysis report in t-code-CKM3.

Actual costs for laboratory exams / Material Ledger
Hi Experts
I have a doubt for actual cost scenario for laboratory industry.
My background is for product cost for consumer goods, specially food companies, so this is a new segment for me.
This laboratory has baseline version, no service/production order, it means all material consumption goes to cost center and they use activities to send costs from cost center to cost center.
They have BOM for all exams (finished product). They only run CK40N for standard costs but they don't have actual cost (material ledger - CKMLCP) implemented.
This is the issue: they want actual cost for every exam in the way we have for consumer goods industry.
So they can analyse profitability for product (exam) x customers.
I wounder if the same industry actual cost scenario can be applied to this business segment or if there is a special SAP solution for this segment.
The main issue is the stock, there is no stock, it´s service. I believe we could change the account in BSX key (OBYC) for some P&L accounts but I´d like your opinion/experience.
I hope you help me to clarify these doubts
Thanks in advance.Dear Rupesh,
I don't think so there will be any std.report in PS module to show plan vs actual cost of material component.
For looking plan vs actual cost in PS having many std reports but they don't show for material component.
I think for this you need to develop a Z report which will show Plan vs Actual cost of material component.
In CN52N report (Component overview report) you can add two fields one is for plan cost & other for actual cost.This can be one of possibilty you can try.Otherwise develop a new Z report for the same.
For this you need to take yr abaper's help.

Low market price using Material Ledger for FG
Hi dear Experts,
We are using Material ledger for valuating 1 FG material with out quantity structure and its goning well but in the opening of a new plant after the actual costing calculation with have to adjust the actual cost to the low market price if this is low than actual cost of the month, do you know which steps I have to follow to make this happen I read something about parallel valuations and determination of lowest cost but how I can Carryout this to inventory valuation?
RegardsHi Ganesh thanks,
the market priceI have to maintain on one of the prices available in the material master, this is necessary in addition to any configuration to use the mrn0?
and just a doubt this could re-valuate the inventory for the closing period? and the difference as I read its posted to the COGS account, on the next period or in the closing one?
thanks a lot

Hi SAP Gurus,
I just finish to execute the Material Ledger by tx CKMLCP but I have some doubts about the accounting.The posting of ML only show me accounting from level and multilevel price differences to materials, but what about accounting complementary for example the consumption of material was costed before the ML a standard price, but now that i calculate the PIP (Periodic Internal Price) the ML does not no have to make accounting in the comsumption between the differences standard price and PIP??
Whats the configuration in the transaction OBYC in PRD, PRY and PRV? I only configurate the account Differences Prices, it is correct?
I will appreciate your help as soon as possible.
Regards
Antonio Rivas PlataHi
Thanks for you answer, but I have three doubts:
1. The Material Ledger after I execute the CKMLCP is going to make a complementary accounting? because all the movements for example consumption, cost of good sales at the beginning was costed by standard price and now I calculate the Internal Price Periodic, is going to account the differences between the Internal Price Periodic and Standard price for the same movements consumption, cost of good sales ??
2.When I was executing the posting for Material Ledger CKMLCP the system ask me for a account to define in OBYC operation PRY, PRV and PRD, I only put an account Price Differences, but what about account Real Cost for example (the difference between PIP and Standar price in the first question)??
3. Which is concept about T156 of your email??
Thanks for your cooperation

Difference between normal Costing run and Costing run in Material Ledger
Hi everybody,
I have a question i wanted to know why we implement Material Ledger .
If material ledger is for settling variances on material then that is also possible without material ledger
Please clear the doubt what is different in ML as compared to normal costing run
thanks in advance
Regards
DeepaCosting run is to calculate the std cost estimate of materials and Material Ledger costing run is to calculate Actual cost of production of materials.

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 ?
regds,
KalluHi
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.
Thanks

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,

GR/IR account problem with material ledger
Hi,
I just found an issue as effect of material ledger implementation.
after the material ledger is active, when we post a transaction in foreign currency (invoice receipt), the LC 2 amount of GR/IR account is somehow different from the document amount, and the difference is transferred into Material price difference account that we maintain in OBYC - PRD transaction.
because of this, the LC2 amount of GR/IR account can't be cleared.
any suggestion, please?
thanks,
Nasikhinhi,
It will affect your valuation for the document, which are still open..
You shd run this only after closing all documents and completing whole MM cycle..
Once this is run, you can't go back and make settlements...
So, beware...

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.

Material Ledger - confirmation in different months
Hi Gurus,
I have a problem as follows:
We are using material ledger for actual costing. When we post partial confirmation for a production order in period t, goods receipt and goods issue is posted for period t. However, in some cases, confirmation is posted although one material has not arrived at the factory yet and that material is not assembled on the finished product in period t, but it is assembled in period t+1. In this case, when we close material ledger, we receive an error as "there are nondistributed rows" in transaction CKM3. How can I solve this problem either in logistics side or financial side?
Thanks and cheers,
Fatih ZenginerHi Faith,
Are you familiar with transaction CKMVFM - Value Flow Monitor? You can analyze Not Distributed differences with this transaction. The price limiter is the key.
Thanks,

Valuation area not yet productive with material ledger
While doing goods receipt at MB1C,i got the below error:
The description of the error is given below
Valuation area XXX2 not yet productive with material ledger
Message no. C+020
Diagnosis
The material ledger has been activated for the valuation area but material data has not yet been converted in this valuation area.
Procedure for System Administration
If you want to work with the material ledger, choose Accounting -> Controlling -> Actual Costing/Material Ledger -> Utilities -> Production Startup.
There you can convert the data for the material ledger by following the instructions in the online documentation.
Note
Setting the material ledger to productive cannot be undone.
See also:
Actual Costing/Material Ledger in the SAP Library.
The implementation guide for Actual Costing/Material Ledger.
Can you kindly suggest me how to fix this error.
Regards
SaberaHi Sabera,
The Valuation Area is not activated for your material ledger. Go to SAP Access>>Accounting>>Controlling>>product cost controlling>>Actual Costing>>environment>>Production Start up>>Set Valuation area as productive.
If you already activated Valution area in to Productive Statge.
Then go to T.Code OMX1 and for your valuation area XXX2 tick the ML activation box.
the error wont come

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
