Material Ledger for two materials

Hi,
I need to run the Material Ledger for two specific materials. In CKMLCP not have the field to select the materials.
In this case what should I do?
hugs,
Cristiane.

Hi Cristiane,
some steps in CKMLCP also have own transaction codes and these allow to be run fro selected materials
CKMH Single-Level Price Determination
CKMI post closing
multi-level allows the material selection in the parameters when you go to edit - allow postprocessing options
best regards, Udo

Single shipment for Two materials

hi ,
the scenario is we have a situation
whre two material are made in two diffferent plants
but the customer orders these two materials in a single sales order
normally what happens is when ever tihis situation occurs, the material which is manufactured in plant B is sent to plant A and in plant A both the materials are consolidated and sent in a single shipment
we need to automate this process
when ever we enter both the materials the system needs to know that the second material which is manufactured in plant B needs to be sent to Plant A
and the delivery for the material in plant A has to wait until the material from plant B comes.
When you create sales order for two materials, the stock transfer should happen automatically.
Thanks
Munna

hey
why do you need the automation? i mean when you can solve it through standard..
you can go through MMSTO . as material is maintained in different plants and you ll be sending the goods through the Shipping point maintained at Plant A ( where material A is produced) right? but if you ve 2 shipping points the delivery will split but still you can send it through single shipment iff you ve a single transportation planning point... give a thought there is no need of automation unless the organisation say so...
hope it has helped u a bit

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?
Regards

Hi 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

Material master for packing materials for based on customers

Dear all,
       can any one tell me how to maintain material master for packing materials based on customers to whom finished goods r supplied.
Regrds
harish

Hi Harish,
Option : 1
Create your packing (VERP) material as per the Customer.
E.g.
Packing material   Product   Customer
200000000            ABC         XYZ
200000001            ABC         YZX
200000002            ABC         XZY
200000003            BCD         XYZ
200000004            BCD         YZX
200000005            BCD         XZY
Option : 2
If you are batch managed then and then only this option will work.
Create Characteristic "Customer"
- Assign it a Batch Class (023)
- Assign this batch class to the material
- Now as and when any transaction will be done on this material, you can apply the relevant customer to the batch and separate that particular by customer.

Stocks data is doubled for two Materials

Hi All,
I have 2 materials within a plant, and the closing stock for those materials has gone wrong (doubled in cube).
Fortunately, the correct data is available till my Integration layer DSO (DSO present very next below to the Cube).
so, my DSO data is matching with Source system's MB5B tx code.
since only in cube it is doubled, i thought of going for a selective deletion of these Materials to that specific period. and then selectively loading these materials into the cube again.
But Problem is when i go for selective deletion for the cube, I am not getting any Time Characteristics for selective deleition which is very much required for me. (like 0FISCPER, 0CALDAY are not available.)
Could anyone suggest me how to correct this scenario.
Regards
Dileepkumar Tatti

Dear Dileep
If you are sure that you have problem with only 2 materials, you can try loading a flat file or use the program CUBE_SAMPLE_CREATE to punch in the -ve values for the material which is doubled.

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.
Thanks

Dave, 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

Material determination for subcontracting materials

Hi
Where and how material determination will happen for subcontracting materials ?
thanks

While creating the PO when you put the item category L it will search the BOM for the FG and its components, if BOM doesn't exists in the system for the FG then put the components in PO manually..
To create the BOM for the FG go to T-code CS01 nad mantain the components for the FG and save it it will be copied to PO in ME21N in material tab by putting the item category L Subcontracing.
You can do it in ME21N at item detail level in material tab...
Here mantain the components for the FG.

Material ledger for lean accounting

Hi friends,
We are planning to implement ML for actual costing. The problem is client want to change their standard SAP process to a diff process. Instead of posting to Inventory B/S account when received goods, they want to debit to a P/L account and credit gr/ir. I am not sure how ML handles this, the other issue is during consumption to a production order, they don't want to hit the consumption account. They just want to do a goods movement with 261 type with quantity value (only material doc but no accounting doc) to production order. I am not sure if ML can look at this material document and calculates a $ value to have consumption.
Please help

Hi Sridhar,
Thanks for the reply. We were not clear on the design. Now we placed a design in place (not sure if this works). We r planning to do standard SAP procedure. 1) Dr. Inv (b/s) Cr gr/ir when goods are received and 2) Dr. Consumption Cr. Inv (b/s) when issued to Production order. The plan is to post additional entires during posting 1) like Dr. Purchased mat (p&l) Cr. Invent change (p&l). The main reason for this is management wants to look at the inv on p&l side (like dr. p&l account rather than inv b/s and dont want to touch that account for credits) but from ML perspective it will create problems so we are planning to follow standard and make additional posting in 2 p&l accounts which will total to zero.
Please let me know if you see any problems from ML side and also how can we make a setting to automatically do the extra posting when goods r received.
Thanks

Different material group for two CO companies with same material no.

Hi all
We are implementing another CO company in COPA. The issue is that both companies use the same materials number, but in COPA grouping categories (MATKL) must be different . I was thinking in using another category, but is there another option?

Hi,
By definition the materials should have the same material group (operationg concern - same market grouping).
However, if you have this as business requirement you need to first identify a field to store this. and then you an also use exit / derivation rule to replace the value with a condition on the company code. Advantage you have reduced the use of one more characteristic in CO-PA.
Hope this helps you.

How can we use same material code for two different sales area

Hello friendsu2026
Hope you all doing well
I am facing a problem and I will be thankful to all of you, for your suggestions
Issue:
I have a *material created in 3000/10/19 for domestic purpose *,now our company has decided to export it for that we have created a new sales are 3000/13/20 for export,we cannot create the salesa are as 3000/13/19 due to some company issues,
Is there any way how I can use the material already in 3000/10/19 into new sales area 3000/13/20.
Will common distribution channel and division concept will be applicable here
As the material is same,and we donu2019t want to go for any more new material code. *
Thanks
Siddharth Sharma

Hi Sharma,
when a material is used in domestic and exports.....i hope it should be seggreagated based on dist chnl.......but not division.
because material is Division specific. it can be there in only one division. like mother child relation.
that is the reason why...... it is maintained inside BASIC DATA...... but not in input screen while creating material master.[unlike dist chnl]
because a material can be in multiple dist chnl....but not multiple division.
I feel only alternative is creating new material if you are already decided to devide the sales by division for domestic and foriegn.
Purpose of common dist chnl/div is to maintain pricing/condition in one common whenever you change master data.......
hope this gives you the clarity

Standard cost estimation after goods movement when material ledger is activ

Hi!
our client is activated material ledger, for some materials standard cost estimation is done till marking but not released.
goods movements have been posted for those materials.
Now system is not allowing to release the standar price for those material in the current period, as material ledger expects same price for entrie period.
what is the alternative way to update the standard price for those materials ( with out reversing the goods movements).
regs,
ramesh

Hi Ramesh,
When you are using Material Ledger, after goods movemnets for materials, no need to change the standard cost estimate as Actual costing run will take care to derive the PUP price.
If there is no standard cost estimation release for sold materials (e.g.FG), you will get an error message duirng the billing document release to accounting. To aviod this error, if you are using split valuation (valuation types) and mixing ratios (CK91N & CK94), try with the below steps:
Create a new valuation type for the same material
Crate CK11N & CK94,
Run CK11N
Run CK24.
Then release the billing document.
Let me know if you need more details.
Thanks & Regards,
ADI

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,
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.
Best Regards
Young

Any Material locked for transactions due to errors in Material Ledger?

We are implementing Material Ledger for actual costing purpose. After ML implemention, will there be any situation due to errors in costing run, or otherwise, that the material is locked for any further transaction? Is such kind of threat exists under any situation?
Sanjay

Dear Sanjay,
I don't think you will face any problem after succesfully completion of actual cost run.
Situation can be totally opposite...I mean to say while costing run you might face problem of material locking.
There could be problem if transaction in material is happening and same time cost run is going on. or if cost run is going on and the same time somebody is trying any transaction.
It is always suggested to run cost cycle in the night or lock the user id's while cost run.
