Material Ledger to be activated for a Plant in Live system

The scenario is as under:
The Company is already live with about 10 Plants under the Company Code. For one of the Plant we want to activate Actual Costing /Material Ledger. Are there any risks or likely issues?
Thanks,
Sanjay

HI,
This sort of implementation in the live system happens every where and there is no risks involved.
There will be some challenges might be.
1. We need decide, are we going to have raw materials with pricing control S or V.
2. Are we going to have actual price of last month is going to be new planned price of new month or not?
3. Is it only for reporting purpose or more than that? like inventory control sort.
4. User training

Dear All,

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

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.

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.

QM activation for a plant

Hello gurus and friends,
can anybody tell me how to activate QM for a plant for results recording.
how to ensure that result recording does not stop any further process, ie, material should be posted to unrestricted stock instead of quality stock. Please tell me what are all the settings required for this.
thanks and regards,
Ram

Hi,
Thanks for the quick response.
I am in need of clarification for these questions
1) are there any plant level settings to be made. If so how ( either Tcode or menu path please and the data to be maintained)? In OMS2 I have checked that the QM is activated for the material.
2)In the case you told me the material seems to move to quality stock. But for me when GR is done material should not go to quality stock. It should go to unrestricted stock. I will do result recording later.
Please provide a solution fo this.
regards,
Ram

We want to stop Budget AVC checks for MIGO & MIRO in Live System

HI Everyone.
We are using Funds Management (BCS) and at the inital stage we are checking the budget at PR, PO, GR & Invoice level.
Now, due to the functional constraints we've decided to remove the Budget AVC checks for GR (MIGO) and IR (MIRO)
Note: At the movement we are not using any activity groups w.r.t tolerance groups, bcoz if we specify the activity groups for only PR & PO, system wont check the budget at GR & IR but, system will post the negative values (FMB_PT01)
So, as a work around, we've defined derivation steps at business transaction level (RMWE & RMRP) by assigning commitment item which is having financial transaction 40 & commitment item type 3, where system wont check the budget.
But, system is not performing the derivation based on this rule in PRD, where with the same config system able to work properly as we desired in DEV client and able to bypass the MIGO & MIRO.
Can anyone, give some suggestions or best way to achieve the said requirement of avoiding the AVC check @ MIGO & MIRO level.
Thanks in Advance.
Raja Sekhar

Dear Mar,
I've maintained the Pre-development parameters in PRD and it is working fine as per my Derivation rule.
Can you tell me is there is similar kind of parameter, for service entry sheet also for the same purpose.
i've tried by maintaining parameter FLG_SES_OVERWRITE in FM01X, due to which in ML81N system taking the fund center as per the derivation, but when i am creating PO for services, system is not able to derive the fund center,
where as previously, before maintaining the above parameter, system use to derive the fund center based on cost center, which is not working after this maintainance.
Any suggestions on this.
Thanks for your support

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?

Blogs for Material Ledger

Hi
I have a situation where Material are using 2V and the material inventory left with some price difference .
For example we have issued PO for 10 pieces as Project Stock @ 10 $ each , At the time of MIRO we have a price diff of 0.50$ each piece .
Before MIRO we have issued the stock to Project . In one of the material the price diff of 0.50$ was absorbed by the consumption to Network where as another material left with Price Diff which is causing a diff in GL and Inventory Values .
My question is why this happened where the two material has same setting . Second question , how to adjust the Inventory diff ?
Logicaly this price diff should be absorbed to Project Network .
Thanks
Vijay

Hi,
First of, thanks for the valuable information.
We are getting ready to activate actual costing.
Material ledger has been active for quite some time now (multiple fiscal years), with all materials activated at standard (S) and price determination "transaction based" (2). Costing runs are only run on a yearly basis.
I am currently establishing my conversion plan.
I believe I have all the necessary steps identified (exception made for one little clarification) and am still working the timing.
A couple of questions:
1. Should I update my materials with a price determination value 3 before or after my configuration is imported in production? I understand that the configuration will really fall in place at the time I run actual costing at month end (CKMLCP) but I am wondering if there is any dependency with the price determination update (2 to 3) from a timing/sequence standpoint.
2. Is it necessary to run, mark and release a cost estimate right after the price determination has been changed (from 2 to 3) and before any goods movements take place or does updating the price determination to 3 is sufficient to support actual costing at month end (i.e. is the cost estimate in existence with a price determination 2 sufficient)?
3. Any particular aspects/steps I should pay attention to as far as going live with actual costing? In general, what would be the ideal sequence of events?
Thanks a lot for your help,
Regards.

Hi Sabera,
The Valuation Area is not activated for your material ledger. Go to SAP Access>>Accounting>>Controlling>>product cost controlling>>Actual Costing>>environment>>Production Start up>>Set Valuation area as productive.
If you already activated Valution area in to Productive Statge.
Then go to T.Code OMX1 and for your valuation area XXX2 tick the ML activation box.
the error wont come

Hi,
It seems you had not done costing activities on materials soon after its creation.
Remember one thing if *material Ledger* is active in your company code then you will have to perform some costing activities soon after the creation so that at the time of PUP (Periodic Unit Price) costing run all material s will be costed and if some variances are there will get settled.
I think u had not done CKMM soon after creation and u had done some postings thats why system is not selecting your material.
Thanks
Deepa
