Hello,
I have got solution.
While performing MIRO, I had taken items in PO belonging to 2 different plant. For one plant material ledger was activated, and for another plant it was not activated. I have posted 2 different invoices to solve this.

Import of material groups into hierarchy not possible (note 432339)

Dear All,
I am trying to replicate material groups (DNL_CUST_PROD1) from R3 system. Prior to this our SRM system configured as standalone and Material Hierarchy is already defined. When I am trying to replicate the material groups in SMQ2 I am receiving status as "sysfail" and further I am getting above message. In the message the OSS note also mentioned. In the OSS note they have given following solution
Error message "Import of material groups into hierarchy &1 not possible":
In transaction COMM_PRAPPLCAT, you specify that the hierarchy specified in the error message is to be used for application 'Purchasing' (02). This means that the material groups would be created in this hierarchy. Delete this setting in Transaction COMM_PRAPPLCAT. If hierarchy R3MATCLASS already exists, assign
hierarchy R3MATCLASS to application 'Purchasing'. Then the material groups are created in hierarchy R3MATCLASS. If you want to import the material groups into the hierarchy specified in the error message, you can also keep this hierarchy
assigned to application 'Purchasing' and deactivate the error message. Error message "Import of material types into hierarchy &1 not possible". You can do this in Customizing under 'Customer Relationship Management -> Master data -> Basic settings -> Define system message characteristics'.
My problem is I am not able to find out the path given in the OSS note ( i.e, Customer Relationship Management u2013 Master data) . Any one can help me in this regard ?
with regards

Hi ram
one upon a time supplier relation ship management and customer relation ship management comes under EBP node i.e ebp 3.5 versions.

Change description general ledger master data not possible for some languag

Hi all,
We have a lot of language translation on tab Key word/translation for all G/L accounts. English is our log in language. When we want to change the description in Finnish, Norwegian and Danish this is not possible (this lines are grey, only display mode). We can´t remove these lines and we can´t change them. It is possible for all other languages except this languages and English. Does anyone have a clue why this is not possible?
Thanks in advance!
BR L

Hi Lisa,
I was asking if you can maintain a new description (for an account number where no description in one of the mentioned languages is entered) so the message "Description already exists in language XX" should not appear in that case...
In general, account descriptions are stored (for chart of accounts / language key) in table SKAT thus you can check the entries already available.
Did you contact the user-authorization responsible which authorization objects are assigned? FS00 contains authorization objects for account auth. group (F_SKA1-BES), company code (F_SKA1_BUK) and the whole chart of accounts (F_SKA1_KTP), maybe some change authorization (activity 02) is missing?
Best regards, Christian

Material Staging/Availability Date not possible to change

Hello,
If I create a sales order with a configurable material and I got subitems related to the main material, into the "Procurement" tab I cannot modify manually the field Material Staging/Availability Date (VBEP-MBDAT) for the subitems.
I only can change the date related to main item.
Do you have any suggestions why I cannot change those dates?
Thanks
M.

Hello,
I checked it and it is not set ("Do not form delivery groups") ... and it should be ok, isn't it?
if I add manually the same sub item with the same item category, than I can modify the Material Staging/Availability Date ... but this is not what we want do.

Material Ledger Movement type Groups

I need to activated ML in a SAP ECC 5.0 client, But When I add entries in OMX7 (Define Movements type groups of Material Ledger) I can not modify "Revaluation of consumptios" field. Is there any dependence I need to review before add a group?
I have been reviewing other clients and it is possible. Why I can Add groups but not change this field?

I guess the revaluation of consumption functionality resides in the financials extension. Therefore a precondition for that setting might be to switch on the extension.

Actual Costing concept in Material Ledger

Hi
Masters , can any body please explain the concept of Acutal costing in material ledger i think that involves the following steps:
1 Activate actual costing.
2.Define userdefined names for receipts and consumption
3.Assign user defined names for receipts and consumption /
for the above 2 and 3 points what is the purpose we have to define and assign user defined names in coantrolling level selecting the B+ Procurement and V+ Consumption.
thanks in advance

Hi,
Actual costing is a huge concept. It is difficult to explain the concept in few words
Please go through the following link for detailed informaton:
http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/print46c/en/data/pdf/COPCACT/COPCACT.pdf
Configuration Points:
Path: IMG>Controlling>Product Cost Controlling --> Actual costing/Material Ledger
1. Activate Material Ledger for valuation areas
2. Assign Currency types to Material Ledger Type
3. Assign Material Ledger Type to Valuation Area
4. Configure Dynamic Price Changes
5. Define Material Update Structure
6. Assign Material Update Structure to a Valuation Area
7. Activate Actual Cost Component Split
8. Activate Actual Costing
Coming to your Questions 2 and 3. they are required to be created if you want your own Controlling level for transactions that you would like to differentiate in the material ledger, further than the standard system offers. Normally we don't use unless there are some specific business requirements
Some key points would be:
ML records all receipts, consumptions and variances for each material.
ML gives overview for each material of the starting balance, receipts, consumption, variance and ending balance.
ML calculates the actual cost for each material u2013 finished goods, packaging.
If a material has BOM, variances of lower levels are rolled up to next higher level up to finished goods, to calculate actual cost for raw material, semi finished & Finished goods in ML as unit price.
Calculated actual cost at end of month can be used as standard price for next period in the material master.
SAP MM is on standard price based costing, ML can do monthly average costing.
Direct settlement of all kind of price differences / exchange rate difference/ to materials at the end of the period.
Once activated , it is not that easy to deactivate although possible with implications like not having historic data.
Cannot be used in isolation : All the plants within the company code shall be material ledger active.
Material Price change is not possible after first transaction in that period.
Using material ledger, inventory in US plant in Canada will be available in USD and CAD
Hope this would help you.
Best Regards

Material Ledger Question with "Individual PO" process

Hello All,
I have a material ledger question related to the individual PO process in SAP where a Sales Order is Created, which automatically generates a Req/PO. The materials from the Req/PO are received into the plant for which the Req/PO was created, and the Stock type of this material becomes Sales Order Stock. Then a outbound delivery is created to issue the goods to the customer on the original sales order that started this whole process.
The issue is that the material ledger is not reflecting the goods receipt at the time we do the goods receipt against the PO, as it does with all other goods receipts. It will only be reflected once the outbound delivery to the sales order is created. Therfore the general ledger and the material ledger subsidary are not in balance. This will not be a problem as long as the sales delivery is created within a few hours as expected, but if the receipt and sales delivery crosses a month end, this will cause an issue. This would also be a problem for us at physical inventory.
Is this supposed to happen in this process? Is there a report to show where the outbound deliveries need to still be created for sales orders in this process that can be used for us at month end? Any help you could provide would be greatly appriciated. Thank you.

Interesting issue.
Just curious... I feel you have done this, but in CKM3, can you key in the Sales Order number in the field provided and then see what the result is? What does it show?
Cheers.

Missing connection of Material in Plant to Material Ledger

Hi,
We encountered an error when doing GR for PO without Account assignment.
Error: Missing connection of Material in plant to the material ledger.
Issue: Not able to post goods receipt for materials for particular Plant D059 with HIBE material type for purchase order without account assignment.
Materials were setup before value update selected for HIBE material type for plant X and hence price determination was blank in Material master.
client was unable to create purchase requisition for these materials andfound value update was not selected for this material type for this plant.
Later when value update was selected for HIBE for Plant X, Goods receipt cannot be posted with reference to PO without account assignment. But able to do MIGO-GR for account assigned Purchase orders.
After value updating for this material type for this plant X, purchase requisitions and orders were created but unable to do goods receipt for PO without account assignment. Goods receipt can be posted
for Purchase orders with account assignment.
Now we are unable to do change price determination for material attachedto HIBE material type.
Please let me know how to resolve this issue.
Thanks and regards, Muthuvel

Hi Bharat,
Again Thanks for the immediate reply.
As I have mentioned earlier, when the stock update was done for this material type, the material was created and it didnt have any value in ML Act and Price determination.
Material ledger was activated to production.
when the client found they were not able to create PR with account assignment, then value update was selected for this material type.
Now there is a problem in Goods receipt for PO without account assignment.
Whereas there is no problem in GR for PO with account assignment.
I cannot do now CKMM also since the present price determination is a mandatory field and blank is no accepted.
Please help.
Regards, Muthuvel

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

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.

Transfer Price & Material Ledger

We have to have transfer pricing for profit centres. Eventhough we have only legal valuation in our case, Material Ledger activation is mandatory otherwise system does not permit us to activate transfer pricing. Hence, we have decided to activate ML eventhough we dont want it in our case.
Hence we will activate it and we will not perform anyother activity with respect to the Material ledger.
Will this be OK ? Will it affect any other transactions in our case ? Please offer your inputs.

I am very happy to see that lot of deliberations happened from your side.
To be more precise, let me put our scenario as follows:
- We have only one valuation viz. legal valuation (no multiple valuations)
- We want to use Transfer Pricing
- Without Material ledger, system is not allowing to activate transfer pricing.
We wrote to SAP quoting our situation but I think even after 2-3 rounds of interactions, SAP did not understand our situation that we require only one valuation and activate the transfer pricing. They sent us some notes all of which explains about multiple valuations, material ledger and transfer pricing. That is why I have raised this issue here.
Now, the options you have suggested is to use a customized program or activate ML without actual costing.
Yes, we do not want to have actual costing and have informed our client that ML only will just be activated for the sake of TP, wihout any further utilization of its functionalities.
One more pont, regarding settings done, I have not done any settings related to SPRO actual costings. Regarding the 9-11 settings as pointed out by Sarada, I noted that:
9 Assign Material Update Structure to a Valuation Area OMX8 : Settings are done there with std materiial upd structure. (Is this relating to Actual costing ? Pl. tell me).
10 Activate Actual Cost Component Split SPRO : Not activated.
11 Activate Distribution of Usage Variances : Not done anything.

Material Ledger : Cost component split different in CO PC and ML

Hello SAP People,
In ML cost component split I don't have the same split that in CK13N COPC.
History
We changed the cost component structure in OKTZ, because we wanted to split on two different cost component the cost of Copper :
-     Copper
-     Primes :Premium cost (transformation cost for producer) on copper.
In CK11N the split is OK and we can read the new cost element corresponding to premium cost.
To split the costing tool goes on the purchase info records to read condition type that are different for copper and premium.
The problem we have is that when we run Material ledger we are not able to see after a good receipt a similar split in the cost component view.
We already run MLCCS_RESET and MLCCS_Startup programs this month and created new Raw material after. But it seems the ML do not take care of this and all the actual cost (I stop to single level) are on the copper cost component and there is nothing on Premium cost component.
We just run single level on ML for current month.
Could you please help me to explain why we are not able to obtain the correct split between Copper and u201CPrimesu201D

Hi Marco,
yes, these both are independent from each other. You will have no issue when these are different.
It is very typical that you want to report different kind of information for activities as for materials.
A typical setup might be
Activity                                   Material
Asset depreciation                   Raw Material Cost
Room cost                               Energy
Labour                                     Production Cost
labour overhead                      Production Overhead
Electricity                                 Packaging
When you use the activity for the production of a material (confirmation CO15) the assignment goes normally to a single cost component in the material, above for example into production cost. This is controlled by the cost element. Only when the primary cost component split is activated and a transfer structure betweeen both is maintained you could achieve
Asset depeciation, Room Cost, Labour overhead -> Production overhead
Labour -> Production Cost
Electricity -> Energy
Best regards, Udo

Return of delivery not possible after material was invoiced and payed

Dear all,
currently I have the problem, that a goods receipt happend for three pieces, quality inspection was done and then the material was payed at the supplier.
Now we realize, that one material is not required anymore and we want to sent it back to the supplier. Now I would like to make a return of delivery which is not possible anymore as the material was already payed.
What else can I do? I would like to sent back the material and get a credit note from the supplier for the next purchase.
Can anyone help what would be the right process to follow? At the moment we canceled all the payments and goods receipts and everything and then made a new goods receipt. But I dont think that this is the proper way.
Thank you very much for your support,
Bjoern

hi,
1. You can scrap the material at vendor's or your place...
2. You have to cancel the Gr and make the new correct one...
3. Post the material to blocked stock ...and scrap from there#
4. Post to QI and send back to vendor...
and if you do wanna send this material to vendor and want back money for wrong material, then create subsequent credit...

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,
Kallu

Hi
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
Raman

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,
CB

Hi,
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.
