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.
best regards,
                    Udo

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,

Material ledger Tables

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 isssue

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
Gopala

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.

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.

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,
MB

Hi 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,
TD

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...
Thanks and regards

Material Ledger activation (COML) - multiple plants in single company code.

Hi -
Material Ledger activation (COML)- multiple plants in single company code.
In large mfg plant - process industry (proposed to dived into number of production plants), Matrial 'a' is produced in plant 'a'.Material 'a' is input to procude matl 'B' in plant 'B"..so on and so forth.
We are activating Material Ledger (COML) for actual costing purpose. Question -During multi level price determination, will the variance of lower level materials ( produced in lowerlevel /other plants in our case) be rolled up to higher level materials (in a different plant). please let me know if it really works, if yes what are the guidelines (if any) .
Please advise ASAP.
Thanks
Chris
Edited by: Chris Farr on Oct 23, 2008 11:12 AM

Hi Chris,
from a business point of view there is a difference that you might take into consideration: The valauation level will always be on material and plant combination. That means, the division into several virtual plants will usually lead to different actual prices for the same material in each plant. That might happen for example when you carry over stocks from last month into the current month in one plant, while the other plant has only receipts from the current month.
That might me desired, but often it is not. If the mutiple plants are in reality only one location it might be hard to explain why the prices differ between plants.

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
Raj

Hi,
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?

Pls suggest how can i solve this ?

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

Implemanting Material ledger

Regarding material ledger
Dear FI guys,
I have a issue on material ledger. We are going for a upgrade from 4.6 C to ECC 6.0 that time client asking us to go with material ledger implementation also is there any impact with this up on upgrade and can you help me where and all integration will come in the material ledger Could you please give me any docs on material ledger please.
Thanks & Regards
Mastan Rao

Dear Mastan rao,
Material ledger data is valuation and control data for a material (with a particular valuation type, if applicable) in a plant for a particular posting period. Material ledger data also contains data for movements that are relevant to the valuation of the material. This data is collected in the material ledger as it is entered in the system.
Use: Material ledger data forms the basis of actual costing and is used to manage valuation prices in multiple currencies and valuations. Consequently, material ledger data supplements the material master record. In addition, material ledger data can refer to materials that are part of sales order stock and project stock.
Structure: The most important information in material ledger data is:
Valuation price, inventory quantity, and inventory value in up to three currencies and/or valuations
Indicator for price determination (as in the material master record)
Control of the valuation prices (as in the material master record)
Period status of the material
Integration: Using material ledger data, the system collects information on material movements (such as goods receipts and invoice receipts) in each period at historical exchange rates. This data is used during material price determination to calculate new valuation prices for the material. Then, the material stock account is reconciled in multiple currencies with the accounts in Financial Accounting.
If the material ledger is active for a particular plant (and consequently for all materials in that plant), material ledger data is automatically created upon the creation of the material master record or upon production startup. You can see whether the material ledger is active by looking in the accounting view of the material master record.
As per my experience Implementing material ledger along with upgrade should not have any impact on upgrade activity but it is recommended that u treat these two as two individual project. If you are using some tools like solution manager etc u should ideally create two different projects in Solman. one of them should be of implementation type for material ledger while the other one should be an upgrade project. u can further choose ur raodmap etc accordingly and move ahead.
Hope this helps.
