Material Ledger Status for exisitng materials change

Hi,
What is the best way to perform material ledger closing entries for pre-existing materials in plant?
I have a plant that already has pre-exisiting materials since 01/2009 or prior, and then we activated material ledger for this plant.
Of course, we then try to run actual costing CKMLCP for these existing materials for period 05/2010, and is errored with
"carry-out period-end closing for materials in previous period" message.  I try OSS note 361236 to close out periods that are older than previous period..with the MMPV period shift situation; but is not helping because these materials are already existing, so I can have CKM3 analysis for these materials as far back as 01/2006...as I ran report S_ALR_87013180 to check the period status for all these materials to see how far do i have to go back in terms of period/fiscal yr.
My question is, if there are pre-existing materials active in the plant and then we activated ML, how far do I have to go back to get the CKMLCP done? Or what is the best way to handle such scenarios?
any advice?

Hey,
Can you let me know when did you do the ML startup?
At production start, the system automatically sets all materials to price determination control 2, which will not be included in ckmlcp processing.
And when you change the price determination from 2 to 3 via CKMM, the period status will be automatically changed to "new object", for which there's no need to do the period end closing.
Anyway, if your materials is with status 30 for the previous periods, the most convenient solution is to manually set it to 70 for the last period. You may achieve this via program MLHELP_SET_PP_STATUS_70. You only need to do it for the period before last period. Then you can go ahead with the normal period end closing process for the previous period.

  • 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?

  • 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

  • Report for Inventory Status for Serialized Materials

    I am trying to generate a report which would display the material #, all serial #s related to that material and the stock type for each of these serial#s. I currently following this approach, I will fetch all the material number from MARC for a particular plant, then for each MATNR, will check for EQUNR and SERNR in table EQUI. Then for each EQUNR will then check stock type in table EQBS. I believe each EQUNR is associated with one and only one SERNR (AM I CORRECT?). I will then display the MATNR, SERNR and LBBSA on the report. Can somebody tell me if the approach is correct? Just wanted your opinion.
    Also I have another issue. Whenever I try to find the stock type for a particular EQUNR in table EQBS, it gives a message saying that no data exists for this EQUNR in this table. I wanted to know what could be the possible reasons for this. I am currently investigating on the following reasons, 1. I think the material is flagged for deletion so that all the EQUNRs and SERNRs associated with that material will be deleted. However, I don’t know how to see all the material associated with a particular EQUNR? Another reason I think is that that EQUNR, or that SERNR does not have any quantity in SAP so no stock type. I could be wrong, but still searching. Can you think of something which could cause this problem (i.e. the message saying that no data exists for this EQUNR in table EQBS?)
    Thank you for your help.

    Hello Azz,
    Have you tried transaction code IQ09 report? I this this will meet your requirement to some extent.

  • Table for Inventory Status for Serialized materials

    Hello,
    Can anyone please provide the table name for finding out inventory status (i.e. unrestricted, Quality Inspection, Blocked) for serial numbers. I am trying to find out, in which inventory status does a particular serial# belonging to a particular material# is in?

    Hello Azz:
    Regarding the serial number status, you have to check the combination of three different tables:                                                                               
    EQUI - Equipment master data. In this table make note of the field 'Object number' (OBJNR), which is the primary key for:                                                                               
    JEST - Individual Object Status. This table contains the technical expression of the status in field 'Object status' (STAT), which is the primary key for:                                                                               
    TJ02 - System status. In this table you can find the texts for the system status in the fields TXT04 and TXT30.
    Then, here you have some other tables which you might also need:
    EQBS - Serial Number Stock Segment.
    SER01 - Document Header for Serial Numbers for Delivery.                                                                               
    SER02 - Document Header for Serial Nos for Maint.Contract (SD Order). 
    SER03 - Document Header for Serial Numbers for Goods Movements.                                                                               
    SER04 - Document Header for Serial Numbers for Inspection Lot.                                                                               
    SER05 - Document Header for Serial Numbers for PP Order.                                                                               
    SER06 - Document Header for Serial Numbers for Handling Unit-Content. 
    SER07 - Document Header for Serial Numbers in Physical Inventory.                                                                               
    SER08 - Document Header for Purchase Order Item Serial Numbers. 
    I hope this helps!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

    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

  • Reg: Material Ledger Account posting

    Hello Everyone,
    We have Material Ledger active for a plant with transaction based price determination (Price Control V). I have posted a GR & its creating 2 Accounting docs. One with Transaction keys BSX, WRX & PRD.
    WRX is calculating correctly based on the PO price. But, I am not sure how BSX is calculated as its not picking the Periodic Price unit in the current period.
    Could you please guide how account posing (GR & IR) will happen for a material with Price control V & Material Ledger active.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Uswin

    Hi Uswin,
    if you look at the second FI document generated upon the GR, I'm pretty sure you will find that in this document, the price difference from the first document ist "reversed" and the amount added to inventory value, correct? So the end result is the same as it would be without material ledger (GR valued at PO price), it just happens in two steps. Therefore, what Frederick said is not 100% correct, as only the end result is the same with and without ML for V/2 materials, but not each single document.
    Secondly, as to why the PRD arises on GR.
    In my system I found the same case. A GR with a PRD posting for a material with price control V and price determination 2.
    In my case I found the PRD to be in fact a rounding difference, which arose in the following way:
    Price in PO was 57,78 u20AC/10 pieces. The price unit in material master, however, is 1 unit.
    Now what the system seems to have done is:
    (1) round the price in PO to the price unit from material master: result: 5,78 u20AC/piece
    (2) Post 5,78 u20AC * pieces received to stock value, the difference (5,778 - 5,78)*pieces received to PRD account
    (3) POst a second document reversing the PRD and addig it to stock value
    Perhaps, the reason for a "price difference" arising is similar in your case

  • 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.

  • Difference between normal Costing run and Costing run in Material Ledger

    Hi everybody,
    I have a question i wanted to know why we implement Material Ledger .
    If material ledger is for settling variances on material then that is also possible without material ledger
    Please clear the doubt what is different in ML as compared to normal costing run
    thanks in advance

    Costing run is to calculate the std cost estimate of materials and Material Ledger costing run is to calculate Actual cost of production of materials.

  • MRP run for dependent materials

    Dear All,
    Could please give me solution for this below scenario.
    My Client wants to run the MRP for dependent material. For example, there are certain material which needs other material also for their application. Material X is leading material and Materil Y is dependent material for material X. one pc of X is made up of 10 pc of Y material.
    Now we want that system automatically runs the MRP not only for leading material but also for dependent materials. ( Even if the reorder level for dependent material is not reached)
    PLEASE GIVE ME SOLUTION
    Thanks.
    Vineet Dhawan

    Hi
    Please maintaint the Bill of material in transactio code CS01 for dependent material X. Maintain the material Y as child material with 10 nos, choose L- stock type.
    Ensure the procurement type is F and speical procurement type is 30 in case of subcontracting. also ensure right validity periods.
    If the material X is a finished goods, while planning for Material X, subsequently the  child material Y also will be planned.
    Execute MRP, with requirements for Material X , it will explode for material Y.
    If reorder point is not reached in consumption based planning, the material will not be planned.
    hope this helps

  • Profit center assignment for Raw Materials and Store and spares

    Hi All,
    We have an issue with org structure while defining  Profit Centre.
    Presently we have  25 depots and 5 Manufacturing Plants and 10 type of Divisions.
    Plant and Depots are mapped with Business area
    10  type of Finished Goods and we have defined Divisions for the same in SD module.
    For the same we have defined 10 Profit Centre in order to get division wise profitability.
    10 Profit center will be used in FG materials  and we will be able to get the postings and profitability with product wise.
    But  for Raw materials and Stores material which profit center need to be assigned.
    Kindly help me in this regard.
    Regards,
    Sahil K

    Hi,
    profit centre basically used for the collection of cost and revenue  which are incurred and generated in an organization , so if your organization has created any profit centre which are assigned to the cost centre of manufaturing or production , those cost cost centre u can assigned to the raw materials.
    To assign  profit centre to raw materials - at the time of creation of Material master(mm01)  for raw materials you can choose  costing view at organizational level and can assign the cost PCTR which your assigning to cost centre.
    To assign division- you can choose the division according to the finished good wise if your divisions are segregated according to finished goods wise.(assignment of division  to the material master -according to the raw materials or spare and parts used to produce particular finished goods).
    Hopefully the above explanation clarify your doubt.
