Material Ledger : Foreign Currencies
Hello CO Experts,
I am working on Material Ledger (ML) and seeking help from experts & SDN.
With the help of few replies on forum, I have understood that ML fulfills two basic objectives: The ability to carry material prices in multiple currencies/valuations, and actual costing.
My concerns :
1. Since multiple currecies (maximum 3), may I know which exchange rate type (M, B, G, etc) does ML relates, when displaying amount in different currencies in the material's master.
2. We have a customized / new exchange rate type "TH", as per exclusive request of the clients. Our clients have a query, if they can view ML amounts as per the rates updated OB52 in customized / new exchange rate type "TH".
Please help me to understand and an advice on my concerns.
Regards.
Hussein.
Hi Hussein,
For ML multiple currecny valuation, Exchange rate type is picked up from Controlling Area Settings. Check the path Controlling-> General Controlling -> Organization-> Maintain Versions-> - Version settings. Selct version 0-Plan/actual version. Choose Settings for each Fiscal Year. Check waht is maintained in exchange Rate Type? Is it M or TH?. If it is M, ML multiple currecny valuation picks values from OB08 for exchange rate type M.
Thanks & Regards,
ADI

Material Ledger Multiple Currency
Hello,
We have a problem with ML - multiple currency.
I am working in a retail company and they dont have product costing. they are using material ledger only for multiple currency.
but they never run ckmlcp. $ is company code currency and EUR is group.
here is the problem, we bought something for 15 $ (10 EUR) and after sometime the currency rate changes and when we tried to sell or transfer the material for 15 $ this time system calculates the euro side as 11 EUR. we dont have a problem with $ but our COPA reports with EUR shows this 1 EUR as loss or revenue ?
to make it short
buy for 15 $ (=10 EUR)
sell for 15 $ (= 11 EUR) ---> 1 EUR stays and shown as loss or revenue in COPA reports with EUR ???
i believe if we run ckmlcp system revaluates the euro side with the new currency rate but i am not sure.
One more question can we run ckmlcp if we dont have product costing ???
thank you..Hi,
I was confused at first. The multi-currency capabilities are suited to keep the historic curency information and make material valuation in parallel currencies independent from the current exchange rate
So in your example:
buy for 15 $ (=10 EUR) --> 10 EUR wil become the material valuation
sell for 15 $ (= 11 EUR) --> stock value will be reduced by 10 EUR (not 11 as would the current exchange rate suggest)
But you are right for the sales price ori the CO-PA revenue in EUR. This will still use the current exchange rate and would lead to the 1 EUR profit because you have the material on stock valuated with 10 EUR but sell it with 11 EUR price.
Material ledger would not prevent the profit/loss and also not counter-post it, even if you used CKMLCP. The actual price would even after ML closing be 10 EUR and no revaluation of consumption would be necessary. The sales prices is an 'external' decision and normally not determined by material valuation, therfore the sales price will not be adapted by material ledger calculations.
Sorry, I have no proposal how to get rid of that. Search ratther in CO-PA currency conversion than in ML.

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

Hi all,
I need to understand better which are the consequences in material ledger canceling procedure described in the following SAP notes:
SAP Note 108374 - Canceling material ledger production startup
SAP Note 425487 - Deactivating the material ledger in production systems
In particular I'm intrerested in which are the tables anda data involved by the deleting procedure.
My goal is the subsiquent reactivation of the material ledger in a multiple valuation scenario as described in the SAP note:
SAP Note 120380 - Subsequent activation of multiple valuation approaches
Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

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
ThanksIf 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.

Questions in Material Ledger Currency
Hey Gurus,
I am having some problems posting documents with MIGO because Iti gives me the error message C+052 (inconsistency in valuation of material).
While accessing the tcode CKM9 I see that one of the currencies is inconsistent as you can see in the print.
Do you know if this is the origin of my error? How can I correct it?
Cumps,
MBHi Manuel,
Just a thought, as a follow-up to Owen's comment above ...
Before you consider the reversal of production startup, consider the following:
1) If it is only one material that causes this problem, then consider reversing all material transactions during the current period, close any and all production orders, purchase orders, etc that use this material, and see if a deletion flag can be set, and then use a new material. If ML close gives you a problem after reversing all the transactions, see if you can change price determination to 2 and then do ML Close.
2) See if any of the utilities in Material Ledger Help Desk will be helpful in fixing this error.
3) Above all, consult SAP FIRST before you run reversal of production startup etc. They may have a simpler solution.
Of course, I know you will perform all these in a test environment first before you venture anything in Production Environment, right?
Cheers,

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.

Material Ledger Additional local currencies for company code
Hi Expert,
I would like to add a second local currency in the "Additional local currencies for company code" in order to have 2 currencies available for material ledger. (Material ledger is not yet activated for this company code)
The second local currency must be the group one "30". Could you please tell me wich valuation I have to choose ? 0 1 or 2.
I went on the SAP library but I didn't find something clear. I tried 1 but I have an error message...

Foreign currency translation posting into Non leading ledger
Hi,
Is it possible to post Foreign currency translation into Non Leading Ledger? I have used the Tcode FAGL_FC_TRANS to post Foreign currency translation, but when i look into transaction data in FAGLFLEXA table, i can only see the posting into 0L (leading ledger). If it is possible to post into non leading leadger, could any one guide me how to do that.

Error-Material Ledger currency were changed in material master creation
Hi all,
Iam trying to create a material master record in IDES database.
When iam entering into accounting 1 tab system is throwing the following error "Material Ledger currency were changed".
Without entering necessary information in the accounting tab i cannot proceed further , so kindly suggest me what is the necessary setup that i need to do to avoid this error.
Expecting a reply from you all.
Thanking You
GopalaHi,
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. -
Enhance 2LIS_03_UM to include Material Ledger and Group Currency
Hi all,
I have searching for a solution for this issue for almost a week now both in SDN and Service Marketplace but seems that there is very less informaton about it.
Background:
We are in the process of implementing the standard content for Inventory in BI and have followed all the steps necessary to initialize and load data. Out data matches perfectly with reports such as MC.1 and MB5L however in the Revaluation datasource there is no provision to pickup other currency type for material price maintained in material ledger.
I have been trying to find some User Exit/BADI either in the V1/V2 posting or during V3 collection run to pick the delta in standard price and Moving Average Price (MAP) for these difference currency types but without any success.
We have total three valuations maintained in the ML (Material Ledger)
10 - Local Currency (this is the only one provided in the standard content extractor)
30 - Group Currency With Group Valuation
31 - Group Currency with Legal valuation
Even if I change the Group currency in MR21 the change is picked up by 2LIS_03_BF and with the field BWGEO blank. This is not surprising since this field is for Local currency only.
I am sure that someone must have faced this issue before where material ledger is active, any help is appreciated.
Thanks
RajHi,
Delta load extracts data from Delta Queue based on your update mode selected in LBWE.
Full Load or Init load extracts data from Setup tables, here if you are extracting data from setup tables ? did you fill the setup tables now or not after deleting the existing data of the setup tables?
are you getting same values when compare to R/3 and BW data for some document numbers? -

Material valuation difference in FI and MM area for P.O in foreign Currency
Seek assistance in solving the following issues related to P.O in foreign currency. Thanks in advance
1, For purchase orders in foreign currency, during MIGO,in the FI document, the inventory value which include cost payable to the vendor, taxes, CHA and freight are calculated in foreign currency and the company code currency value is arrived by multiplying the total inventory value with the exchange rate prevailing in Ob08 on the posting date of MIGO, instead of adding the values of basic price converted to local currency at the rate prevailing on MIGO, Custom duty at the rate prevailing on Customs Miro and Freight CHA etc which are inputted in local currency and converted to P.O currency in P.,O, at the exchange rate in P.O
The value thus arrived is different from the actual value paid since the freight and CHA are in co code currency in the P.O and converted to P.O currency in P.O with exchange rate prevailing on the date of P.O and Custom duty paid in local currency is at the rate prevailing on Custom MIRO.
2, Freight and CHA are entered as condtions in the P.O and the values entered in local currency. These are converted to P.O currency by the system at the exchange rate prevailing on the P.O date. During MIGO in the FI document the values for these are arrived by multiplying the value in P.O currency with the exchange rate prevailing on MIGO. for e.g. the CHA lumpsum entered as INR 20,000 is converted to $ 400, assuming the OB08 rate on the date of P.O is 50. if on the date of MIGO OB08 is 60, during MIGO, in the FI document entry for local currency the CHA charges become 24000. ( 400 x 60 ). While the actual amount is 20,000. the same scenario exist for freight too which is entered in local currency.
WHAT IS HAPPENING
1. Foreign Vendor - Foreign Currency X OB08 rate on MIGO Posting Date
2. Freight - Company Code Currency Converted to Foreign Currency as per OB08 rate on PO Creation Date X OB08 rate on MIGO Date
3. CHA - Company Code Currency Converted to Foreign Currency as per OB08 rate on PO Creation Date X OB08 rate on MIGO Date
4. Customs - Company Code Currency Converted to Foreign Currency as per OB08 rate on Actual Customs Payment Date X OB08 rate on MIGO Date
WHAT IS REQUIRED
1. Foreign Vendor - Foreign Currency X OB08 rate on MIGO Posting Date
2. Freight - Company Code Currency Converted to Foreign Currency as per OB08 rate on PO Creation Date X OB08 rate on PO Date
3. CHA - Company Code Currency Converted to Foreign Currency as per OB08 rate on PO Creation Date X OB08 rate on PO Date
4. Customs - Actual Customs Duty paid in Company Code Currency through Customs MIROHi
i am still waiting for someone to put a comment on this thread
