Material ledger single level run error

Hi All,
During last month ML run, we faced a problem. For some of the Material of certain Material Type even Single level run could not be done. On analysis we found that for these materials previous periods ML run was not done. We are not sure why in previous months system did not select these materials for ML. Because in the Change data for Material master there is nothing of that sort which discriminate those materials in the earlier periods but picked the same in the last period.
Now we have closed last month ML with errors for those materials, but we cannot let this continue for future months.
Can any one tell me how to exclude those materials in future runs, because those materials are not to be used for any movement in future and the stock balance has already been made to zero.
And give the probable cause, or where can we find the reason why those materials got picked last month ML run but not in periods prior to that.
Regards,
Vaskar

Thanx Karl,
Firstly this is to inform you that for most of those materials there has not been any movements for past few months and not even in the last month. So I am not able to understand what change has triggered system to select those materials in the last month but left out in prior periods.
Secondly I am not able to understand the MLHELP_SET_PP_STATUS_70 thing. I have never used it and I am not sure whether we have it installed or not. Is it an add-on to standard SAP? Please tell me how can we run that report. Or if not installed, is there any other way by which we can change the status of the Material to 70.
Thanks

Material Ledger-Actual costing Run

Deal All,
I would like to run actual costing for previous period and current period (April-Mar)
08-Nov
09-Dec
But I have not done the period end closing for prior perods means 01-07.
If I do now actual cost run for 08 & 09 what will be the impact on systems?
Best Regards,
Sbpsbp

Hi,
Basically a monthly Material Ledger closing should be processed in all period, so you already have shifted a period in material master, you cannot processed a couple of preceding months with some error: C712 or C805 etc.
If you are facing above situation, please check SAP Note 361236.

Material ledger:not distributed variance-URGENT

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.
thanks,
Ben

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).

BC

Single level and multi level price determination

Hi,
Regarding single level and multilevel price determination, how system is arriving the figure of some portion to single level and some portion to multilevel. Can any one clarify the concept.
govind.

Hi
Find below my clarification.
Multilevel price determination calculates the periodic unit price for a material. The standard price, the single-level differences cumulated in the period, the differences between planned and actual prices, as well as input material differences (multilevel differences) are all taken into account. The material price calculated in multilevel price determination can be used for inventory valuation.
Follwing are Prerequisites\
The material ledger is active.
Actual costing is active.
The price determination indicator in the material master is set to 3.
The price control indicator in the material master is set to S.
Single-level price determination has been performed.
Following are the fartures
A level is identified by a material and its associated procurement process. Multiple levels are the result of one material being used in another material. These multiple levels are reflected in the actual BOM that is created in the costing run in the step Determine Sequence.
In multilevel production, both single-level and multilevel price differences exist. If one material is used in another material, and single-level price differences exist for the input material, this results in multilevel price differences. In this way, differences are rolled up from raw materials through semifinished products to finished products. This solves the problem of follow-up costs.
The price calculated through price determination is updated as a periodic unit price (V price) in the Accounting 1 view of the material master record The price control indicator remains set to S. The standard price does not change.

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

Material was not bound to the material ledger

Hello,
When I run the entry markers (TCODE MIGO) the error message appears C+470 - Lack of connection material 16243 to 16243 at the center material ledger.
Diagnosis:
An error occurred when creating or modifying the view of evaluating the material. The material was not bound to the material ledger.
System activity:
The update operation is canceled.
Procedure:
Contact SAP support.

I checked that note, I changed the type of material in MMAM ROH to Hawaii, but the LM still active disabled.
Then I went in again and ran for MMAM HAWA to ROH, and the asset continues LM disabled.
I need to activate the LM active for this material.
I'm working with version 6.0.

Material Ledger - confirmation in different months

Hi Gurus,
I have a problem as follows:
We are using material ledger for actual costing. When we post partial confirmation for a production order in period t, goods receipt and goods issue is posted for period t. However, in some cases, confirmation is posted although one material has not arrived at the factory yet and that material is not assembled on the finished product in period t, but it is assembled in period t+1. In this case, when we close material ledger, we receive an error as "there are nondistributed rows" in transaction CKM3. How can I solve this problem either in logistics side or financial side?
Thanks and cheers,
Fatih Zenginer

Hi Faith,
Are you familiar with transaction CKMVFM - Value Flow Monitor? You can analyze Not Distributed differences with this transaction. The price limiter is the key.
Thanks,
Greg

Material Ledger Periodic Price

hello gurus,
we are activated the material ledger.when we run ckmlcp the perodic price become the standard price.but my client wants standard price only they wants perodic price only for statiscal purpose only
For ex:
std price 100
periodic price is 150
when we run the month end activities periodic price become the std price i.e 150
but our client wants std price 100 for all periods and periodic price only for information prupose
for this how can configure in the system
Regards,
Rihana

Dear Rihana,
You can change the Price determination control from '3' to '2'. For materials with 'price control' = 'S' and 'price determination
control' = '2' the periodic unit price (PUP or v-price) is for statistical purpose only. However, please note that 2S-materials will not be selected during period-end closing. Only 3S-materials will be handled in txn CKMLCP.
Kind Regards,
Antje

Single level price determination in material ledger

What is the meaning of single level?Doe it include only the price determination of procured raw materials or will it also include semi finished and finnished goods?

Hi
Single level price determination is to calculate the unit price of material for a period. It takes into account the price differneces arising out of Price Differences like GR/IR Differences, Exchange Rate Differences, and revaluation differences to calculate the actual price of a material.
You can have more information of Single Level Price Determination at the following link:

Material Ledger Run CKMLCP

We are having issue with material ledger when running single and multi level on a material. When we try to execute Single level on the material it is giving ABAP dump with MESSAGE_TYPE_X message.
Any suggestions??
First determine prices (1-lvl) for input material XXXXXXXX valuation area XXXXXX
Message no. C+815
Diagnosis
Material XXXXXX with valuation type in valuation area XXXX was used as a level 1 input material in the relevant period. You can perform multi-level price determination for the corresponding output material only if the level 1 input material has the status price determined single-level, Closing entry reversed or Closing entry completed.
The input material, though, has status Quantities and Values Entered.
System Response
The system does not allow multi-level price determination.
Procedure
Perform single-level price determination for the input material.

Hi,
I'm afraid there is no enough information for me to make any further analysis. You may check the message log of your single level step to see whether there is any error. And inconsistency is also a possible reason. The error and inconsistency need to be removed to finish the s-l price determ for all the materials, then you can go ahead with m-l step.
If you could not understand some specific error message, pls indicate it. I'll try to make some further explanation for you.
Best Regards

Material Ledger activation at Company Code Level

Hi All,
I have a requirement where Material Ledger need to be activated at Company level and not at single Plant Level. We are about to implement ML and would like to have periodic unit price calculated at company code level (e.g. 1 material, 4 plants, 1 company = 1 periodic unit price).
I went through the customization , it only refers to Plant level (Valuation area level)
Could anybody throw light on this.
Regards
Barbara

Hi,
What is the valuation level?
If the valuation is at plant level you can maintain different views at different plants of these company codes.
If only name is different i think you would do better with the same material code, and if you still want to differentiate please create two different materials

Prithviraj

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.
best regards, Udo

Material Ledger Error CKMLWIP099

I have been working with Material LEdger (ML) for several years and was deeply involved in the configuration and testing prior to deployment. I have recently come across a problem I can find no resolution for. The message is CKMLWIP099. The text is as follows:
"Internal error in FORM/FUNCTION CL_CKML_WIP_DBACCESS->QS_COMPLETE in position 5 with RC"
The issue occurs when running the WIP Revaluation step within CKMLCP Costing Cockpit.
Our version is 4.7. I tried wating until the material period was two periods old and using the "Must_WIP" tip, but the same error happened. Now, the few parts with this error have infected 10 times as many other parts. I have reviewed the materials as well as all movement types and can not find a logical problem.
If anyone has any ideas or advice I would appreciate it greatly. I have logged an SAP help ticket, but that could take a long time and become very difficult.
Edited by: Juggler2010 on Dec 15, 2010 6:11 PM
We opened a ticket with SAP. They found that some PP orders from 2007 popped up in Oct-2010 for which WIP had been run. In my experience there was a time that PP orders RA was accidentally run for a period far into the future, which caused ML to break for every part involved. They had given us a special program to cure that. I ran that program before opening the ticket, but it found nothing to fix. This time, SAP asked us to implement note 1497118, which installs the program WIP_HELPDESK. That program should only be run by SAP. After deleting the bad WIP qty records, I ran material ledger for the failed periods with full success. Problem resolved.

This may help others who experience this unusual issue.
