Material ledger not closed

Hi ,
I am facing one issue in which the material ledger for a material has not been closed for a particular month. We have price difference in beginning and cumulated inventory. Is it because of the price difference ? or can it be due to some exchange rate difference ? How can I check this in system ?
Pls help.
Regards,
Gaurav

Hi,
Please check if the material was correctly closed with transaction CKMLCP. Maybe for the material was manually closed without executing transaction CKMLCP. You can verify this if there is a post closing document for the material in that period.
I hope this helps.
Best regards,

Thanks a lot Kishore.
But unfortunately we don't have any Basis Guy separately. I was doubling up as Basis as well APO in my org . I'm pretty new to all these stuff. I searched in help.sap.com about this a lot, but couldn't find anything useful.
Can you help me in identifying a solution to this problem?
Thanks,

Material ledger:'not allocated' variance

Dear all,
For raw material A, it issued to certain production order(say FG is B) in Apr. at the month end, I found that there are some variance(not distributed) in material A due to there is no goods receipt for production order. in May. I performed GR for B, then calculate WIP/variance and perform settlement. after that, I run CKMLCP for ML closing.
However, system can not distribute the variance which occurred in the previous month to B, this means this variance will keep in the variance account forever, and the actual cost of B is wrong.
I do not know whether this is standard SAP, our version is ECC6.0.
Is there anyone know why and how it come and settle it ?
thanks very much

Dear Jin Ming Zhang,
Please, check the note 908776 which explains the possible reasons for 'not distributed' and 'not allocated' price differences.
There is no automatic procedure, but CKMVFM is a valuable tool to analyse the reason for the differences and distribute/include them.

Material ledger:not distributed variance-URGENT

Hi Ben,
If you don't find the reason for 'not allocated', you should open a message in the system for SAP to check.
Check note 908776. Here you will find all possible reasons:
**'Not included' or 'Not allocated' price differences:
A) The material has multilevel consumption alternatives (processes).
Possible causes:
- Multilevel price determination was not carried out yet.
- Not all subsequent materials were processed by multilevel price
determination. If multilevel step has not been carried out (or
resulted in an error etc.) the price differences remain on the
input material in the 'not allocated' line.
You can verify the Actual BOM for all consumption processes to find
all output materials. You should check the status for multilevel in
all output materials
- the multi level document of one subsequent material is obsolet,
because it is older than the single level or multi level document of
the input material.
You can check this by comparing the time stamps in the documents'
header data.
This situation occurs when the input material was reprocessed by
single level and/or multi level price determination, but not all
depending subsequent materials were reprocessed.
To avoid such error SAP recommends to run multi level price
determination generally with the option:
'materials already processed: process again'.
- For some consumption processes there was no goods receipt of the
output material in the period. In this case the price differences
can not be rolled up by multi level price determination. They
remain as 'not included' ('not allocated') at the input material.
- For some consumption processes, that have different output
materials (joint production) for one of the joint products (the
materials that receive costs according to the apportionment
structure) the goods receipt has not been posted yet. In this case
the differences to be allocated to this joint product remain as
'not included' ('not allocated') at the input material
- One output was calculated with reduced BOM. Typically this happens
if input and output material are part of a cycle, and this cycle
was cut off because it didn't converge. In this case the price
differences of the input were not rolled-up along the cycle
connections and therefore remain on the input material. To verify
if this case applies check the multi level document of the output
material. There must be a red light in the item line of the input
material to indicate that no price differences have been rolled up.
In the header data of the multi level document you can see the
cycle number. Furthermore in the log of multi-level price
determination there may be a message 'Cycle * cut off after *
iterations'.
B) Material has Single level consumption alternatives
- For release 4.7 or higher, the step 'Revaluation of consumption'
was not carried out. (This step is only available with Financials
Extensions).

Material Ledger - Not Distributed when use MR22

Dear All
I do follow step and i have a problem which need your help
1. Create a Mew Materail, price determination: 3 - Single/Multi level
2. GR with Mvt 561.
3. Using MR22 to update valuae for that material.
4. Run CKMLCP -->
I have 2 question
1. When I run CKM3, I saw quantity in the Consumption Group with negative quantity. I don't know why, because I do GR, not do GI
2. After run CKMLCP, I saw a not distributed line.
I aldready config PRDs,
Please help me solve that problem.
Thanks
QuangDD

Hello Quang,
First of all, do you have any consumption for your material in CKM3?
CKMLCP would not distribute anything if there is no consumption in the material.
The "not distributed" lines are due to 4 different causes explained in SAP Note 908776.
I think your problem though, is that you have an MR22 posting and there is no consumption to apply that variance to.
Hope it helps

Material Ledger not activated in both plants within the same company

Hi Experts,
I would like to ask what would be the impact if we activate ML only in one plant. The company code has 2 plants assigned to it. We are currently implementing transfer pricing but only to one plant. What is the impact of activating the PC valuation to other plant under the same company code?
Thanks

Hi,
Usually to add transportation cost or freight to the material cost at the time of STO we will use the seperate pricing procedure & condition types.
same way we can do one thing..
1)define the seoerate pricing procedure for STO
2)include condiion types for mfg cost, transport cost, margin etc etc & define the condition types in such a way that this all condition type values are get added to inventory.
3)create STO & give values for all condition types in STO
4)create delivery PGI
5)create excise invoice
6)create GRN at receiving plant.
hope its clear.

Material Ledger - not distributed

Dear All.
After I run CKMLCP, I found that some value can't not distributed and it's stored in not distributed category.
I found an unnormal thing in sytem: When I run Settlement, CO88, some Production Order in previous month appear in current period, with a little variance. All of them are completed in previous month and I ran CO88 for them.
Does anyknow why CKMLCP can't ditribute all producion variant to consumption and stock ? Pleas help me.
Thanks and Best regard,
QuangDD

Hi,
The production order even you settle at the previous month may consume some stock in the current period also.so that the settlemnt is considering that amount in the current month,so check whether the consumption is on which month by running consumption of production order in MB51 or production report.
So it will lead unconsistency in CKMLCP run.so check with the prouction dept & correct the entry & take the CKMLCP run.
Tell me one more thing the cost release is for monthly or periodically.
Regards,
Raj.

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.

How to set Material Ledger as Productive

In CKM9 ---> I am getting message as --> Material Ledger Not Yet Productive
how to set Material Ledger as Productive
Please help

IMG->Controlling->Product Cost Controlling->Actual Costing/Material Ledger-> Activate Valuation Areas for Material Ledger
In this step, you activate the material ledger for valuation areas - Before activating material ledger, check the additional currencies defined in the Co Cd.

0COPC_C04 : Material Ledger Inactive for valuation area

I ran RSA3 for 0CO_PC_ACT_02 and 0CO_PC_ACT_05 and I get 1000 records respectively. I ran the info package to load this data into BW to 0COPC_C04 . I am getting a message in the status tab " Job termination in the source system". When I look at the job log , it says " Material ledger not active for abcd Valuation area".
SO I went to OMX1 and I beleive that a while back there was a change to do company code valuation , which got changes to plant valuation ,so this is what I see in the screen:
Valuation area = 0001
Company Code = abcd
Price Det. = 3
and there is this one records which shows :
Valuation area = abcd
Company code = abcd
Price determination = 3
and it is not check marked under ML Act . This is only in the dev box , it was fixed in QA and Prod. But never fixed in Dev.
I am not sure , what to do , also I am not sure if this is what is causing the problem.
Thanks

Can some one guide me?
Thanks

Run CKMLCP (material ledger cockpit) for closed period in MMPV

Hi,
I would like to run CKMLCP for period 12.2008, however MMPV was run in 02.2009, and only january and fabruary 2009 are allowed for material postings.
How can I settle material ledger in 12.2008? I know about note 361236 (CKMLCP: No period-end closing operations after period shift), but don't know if this will do all the proper postings or only close 12.2008 technically.
Regards,
Karol

Hi Carol ,
Please remeber costing Run i.e CKLMCP is a closing activity so it should be done only at the time of closing a particular period .A syou said two periods are open for MM but costing also post some Accounting enteries if FI period is closed the its not possible.
And its not recommended to run costing any time in middle of the period.
Thanks

Material Ledger Closing

Dear Gurus,
While material ledger closing using CMKLCP,i need clarification for the following process.
1. Single/level
2. Multilevel.
3. Revaluation of Consumption
4. WIP Calculation
5.Post closing
6. Price update.
can anyone explain about the above process outcome, what is the difference between material ledger WIP Calculation and Production order WIP Calculation.
While price update for price control material S, we need to re run cost estimate or it will update the new prices.
Appriciated for valuable inputs.
Ramesh.

Hi Ramesh .
Hope you understand clearly the purpose of standard costing and why we use Material Ledger .
Standard Costing is based on a pre-determined /derived prices for a period/year and all costs are caputed on the basis of the standard Cost . Goods Issues/Receipt , consumption all are at standard cost.
COGS GL Account is at standard and all the inventories are at standard ..
Difference between standard and actual costs are captured as variances in different GL Account . Mainly we have two variances... price variances ( at the time of purchases ) and usage variances at the time of production ..
Material Ledger is a seperate module.. where it calculates the actual costs . Variances are rolled back to the consumption accounts ( which is at standard ) to derive the actual cost . Actual Cost = Standard Cost + Variances .
1. Now Finished Material is made of Raw Material and Semi-Finished Goods . ...When we calculate the actual costs of finished product .. we can find out the actual costs of raw materials and semi-finished goods. ML will find out the actual cost of raw material , semi-finished goods and finished goods. This concept is know as multi-level determination ... In Single level.. only one level of material cost is computed as actual.. not rolled back to the lowest level.
2. Revaluation of consumption during ML run means .. the COGS ( which was at standard earlier) is now being revaluted and becomes actual..
3. WIP Calculation calculates the WIP costs on actual.
4. Post Closing Step will put the new GL entries.. where variances will be nullified and COGS and inventory will become actual.
5. Price Update is optional.. you can make the actual costs computed as standard cost for the next month..
Production Order WIp Calculation = Actual Qty X Standard Rate
ML WIP Calculation = Actual Qty x Actual Rate
Please revert back for any further clarifications

Material ledger period-end closing - material selection based period status

Dear SAP Experts,
The OSS note 980475 describes functionality of excluding materials without inventory and postings from the period-end closing of the material ledger. The system assigns a new period status for materials without inventory and postings (05 "Period opened without inventory"). This period status is set by the dynamic period-closing program for the new period (instead of "Period opened") if the material does not have any inventory.
Could you clarify what is dynamic period-closing program for the new period?
In my system this note is implemented but still during costing closing materials are being selected even though no postings have been done on them in that period and no inventory exists.
Thankk you very much for advise.
Best regards,
Robert

Hi Robert, have you find out what this dynamic period closing is?is this just the option Check and close period in TCode MMPV? or is het one the CKMLCP steps?
thanx in advance,
Said Dahmaza.

How to reverse material ledger closing entries beyond previous period?

In a test system, the system does not permit reverse material ledger closing entries. The current period is 04/2008.
Getting a message C+716 message
You want to cancel closing entries in valuation area XXXX for period 008 in fiscal year 2007.
You are allowed to cancel closing entries only in the previous period. Reversing closing entries for periods before the previous period is not possible.
There are provision to run closing entries like MUST_SETTLE in the ok code features, Are there,any such for reversal? Could there be any work-around?

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.
