Material ledger using several plants

Hi all,
I have  the plan B that receives 2 FG items from Plant A they make and adjustment delivering some additional cost, both are valuation areas with  material ledger, when the stock transfer take place, its moved with standard price $ 100 and with the costing run the real cost from this periods is $120 the stock and the GI from sales are properly  revalued with the actual price ($120), not the transfer stock, the difference between the stock transfer price and the actual price ($20)  remains on ckm3n as non allocated cost, how this work I need to transfer this $20 price difference to cost of plant B ? 
THANKS A LOT!

Hi Sarada
thanks for your time, this is the scenario details
Plant A  (production and Sell)
- initial invent.  $110 dls    per Ton
- initial invent.      10 Ton.
- production cost  $130 Dls per Ton
- production units     10 Ton.
- Actual Cost  $ 120 Ton  Total Inv. 20 Tons
- Stock transfer plant to Plant 
Plant A to Plant B
10 Ton --> $110 Dls.
When ckmlcp it's carry out I have $100 cost as non allocated from $ 1o from prices difference with actual cost per ton transferred to Plant B
Plant B( just sell purpose)
- initial invent.  $100 dls    per Ton
- initial invent.      1 Ton.
- receive stock transfer 10 Ton at $110 dls
- additional Cost (freight) $ 2 per ton
on Plant B CKMLP its  "ok" because all cost that was allocated to plant B have been take to inventory valuation how ever its under the real cost because $100 dls from the actual cost from plant A never reach Plant B
Again Thanks a lot.

  • Material ledger activation in existing plant

    Hey all
    We have a plant in our Production client which was recently created. The materials in this plant have No released cost but we have PO's and movements in this plant.
    Now we are planning to activate Material ledger for this plant. Can anyone advise me on the things that i need to take over of before activating material ledger. Like Closing PO's, MM period, the time of cost run after ML activation and all the Cutover activities that I need to take care of.

    Hi,
    You should activate ML at the beginning of the period. All open orders should be closed.
    Please review note 596558. It contains all recommendations for activating Material Ledger.

  • Material ledger in material master

    hello friends
    how to remove the check from check box of material ledger in accounting view of material master it is shown in gray field. also price determination field is mandatory how to optional it.

    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.

  • 3 valuations in Material ledger

    Hi,
    My client's requirement is as follows:
    1) Legal valuation has to be in Local currency but on Actual Costing
    2) Profit Center Valuation in Local currency but on standard costing - same as Group valuation
    3) Group Valuation in Group currency in standard costing - Group valuation
    Is this possible when, Actual costing Material ledger implemented?
    I imagin, Legal valuation field in Material Master will be updated by periodic unit price when we run CKMLCP.  Then Profit center valuation field in the Material Master will be updated when we run CK40N in standard costing PC valuation costing run.  Then again we will run ck40n in standard costing for Group valuation to update Group valuation in Material Master.
    If my client opts to run ck40n for legal valuation, then he should also be able to mark and release standard cost new price, in Legal valuation field of material master and actual costing will not release standard price for new period.
    The requirement is typically complicated, as my client wants to maintain his Global template, though one country comes under actual costing requirement.
    I would like to dig out answers from real time experience please.
    Cheers,
    Ashok

    I can give you some information but not everything.  I have gone through the deployment of material ledger using 3 valuations, but not the ones you are using.  We used Local, Group and Group at Group.  All 3 are at actual costing.  What this means is that the local currency is the currency in the country where the plant exists.  The group valuation is a straight conversion to US dollars from the local currency based on the currency conversion tables M and P rates.  Note that both of these first two currencies can include intercompany profit if reflected on the transferring sales order between companies.  The Group at Group is the US dollar conversion without the intercompany profit.  We find this works for our business.
    The other thing about material ledger is that you need to have a standard cost estimate so that material ledger can keep track of the cos component structure.  The way it works is as follows:
    Say the standard estimate shows labor=$100, materials=$200 and overhead=$300 for a total cost of $600.  All transactions in the month using this material use the $600 standard.  Now, when material ledger is run at month end, the PUP (periodc unit price) is calculated and let us assume the PUP values are labor=$150, materials=$250, overhead=$350 for a total PUP of $750.  Material ledger already has tables with the details of the standard components against every transaction.  Now it will apply the remaining adjustments totalling $150 to the proper cost components for COPA purposes.  This is pushed to COPA using transaction KE27.  Think of it like this...Actual cost is equal to standard ($600) plus/minus variances ($150). 
    Therefore, you always should have a standard cost estimate when using material ledger.  At least that is my usage and understanding.  I hope I provided useful information for you in some way.

  • Material ledger and standard cost estimate

    Hi Gurus,
    When standard cost estimate is done in a scenario, where  material ledger is activated, does the entire stock get revaluated andl post a credit in my P/L? Is it possible  to keep my inventory(FG and SFG) at periodic unit price ie at the actual manufacturing price over a longer period say 3 years? Please fill this gap in my understanding.
    Best regards
    Vimal

    Hi Vimal,
    Material ledger uses the standard price as 'preliminary price' always during the current month, independent of the question if a new standard price was estimated and released.
    But: After period end, when the actual price is calculated the posting will adjust the inventory and P/L accounts to the actual price, with posting date in the recent period.
    That means if you have a material that was manufactured once and then consumed over a 3 year period, and during that period you calculate the same material in a standard cost estimate with changing results, that would mean: Looking back at any month during the 3 years the consumption and stock values will be valued at the actual price of manufacturing. But during the currently open period it will always be valuated at the price of the last released cost estimate.
    I hope I understood your scenario correct...
    Best regards,  Udo

  • 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.
    Best Regards

  • Material Ledger error

    Hi
    While doing MIGO, I am getting the error as Material Ledger is not active. There is no requirement for material ledger activation. How does this error can be solved.
    Please suggest
    Thanks
    Sanjay

    Hi,
    Please check whether you have activated Material Ledger at specified Plant level  by t-code-OMX1-Activate Material Ledger.  But Material Ledger activation settings are not yet completed in your specified Material Master i.e., Material MasterAccounting1ML Active i.e. checking the box for activation of ML and defining Price Determination indicatoru20142 or 3. I guess  missing of these settings, you are getting this error in MIGO activity. Please check and confirm.

  • 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.

  • Low market price using Material Ledger for FG

    Hi dear Experts,
    We are using Material ledger for valuating 1 FG material with out quantity structure and its goning well but in the opening of a new plant after the actual costing calculation with have to adjust the actual cost to the low market price if this is low than actual cost of the month, do you know which steps I have to follow to make this happen I read something about parallel valuations and determination of lowest cost but how I can Carryout this to inventory valuation?
    Regards

    Hi Ganesh thanks,
    the market priceI have to maintain on one of the prices available in the material master, this is necessary in addition to any configuration to use  the mrn0?
    and just a doubt this could re-valuate the inventory for the closing period? and the difference as I read its posted to the COGS account, on the  next period or in the  closing one?
    thanks a lot
    regards

  • Material Ledger Active - K088 Settlement doesnt use Actual Cost Comp Split

    Production Order quantities are all scrap (in confirmation) thus order balance contains Consumed Materials and Activity Allocation
    When KO88 Settlement is run, the system uses Standard Cost Component Split to allocate the residual to Cost Components instead of the Actual Cost Component Split
    When we run the flow trace, the message says:
    "Splitting according to output material S-Price CCS"
    Expectation was that costs would flow according to Actual Cost Component split.
    There is note 756167 - This note activates the update of the actual cost component split information in the material ledger document when you perform the order settlements.
    However current release is 604, so its expected that this is already applied.
    Any help or insight on how to settle using Actual Cost Component split is appreciated.

    Edited by: Chris Gibson on May 5, 2010 8:59 PM

    The second option you mentioned of using separate value field for transferring the standard cost component split from the actual cost component split is the way SAP designed this integration between CO-PA and the Material Ledger.  But 40 value field for cost component split is excessive.  CO-PA allows up to 120 value fields maximum, so I agree it does not seem prudent to use 80 of them for this purpose.
    I suggest you reexamine the level of detail you think may be needed in CO-PA and try to use CO-PC reports at the cost element level to report on more detail.  Keep the CO-PA view more aggregated and you can stick with the standard solution for comparing standard to actual costs in CO-PA.

  • 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.

  • Missing connection of Material in Plant to Material Ledger

    Hi,
    We encountered an error when doing GR for PO without Account assignment.
    Error: Missing connection of Material in plant to the material ledger.
    Issue: Not able to post goods receipt for materials for particular Plant D059 with HIBE material type for purchase order without account assignment.
    Materials were setup before value update selected for HIBE material type for plant X and hence price determination was blank in Material master.
    client was unable to create purchase requisition for these materials andfound value update was not selected for this material type for this plant.
    Later when value update was selected for HIBE for Plant X, Goods receipt cannot be posted with reference to PO without account assignment. But able to do MIGO-GR for account assigned Purchase orders.
    After value updating for this material type for this plant X, purchase requisitions and orders were created but unable to do goods receipt for PO without account assignment. Goods receipt can be posted
    for Purchase orders with account assignment.
    Now we are unable to do change price determination for material attachedto HIBE material type.
    Please let me know how to resolve this issue.
    Thanks and regards, Muthuvel

    Hi Bharat,
    Again Thanks for the immediate reply.
    As I have mentioned earlier, when the stock update was done for this material type, the material was created and it didnt have any value in ML Act and Price determination.
    Material ledger was activated to production.
    when the client found they were not able to create PR with account assignment, then value update was selected for this material type.
    Now there is a problem in Goods receipt for PO without account assignment.
    Whereas there is no problem in GR for PO with account assignment.
    I cannot do now CKMM also since the present price determination is a mandatory field and blank is no accepted.
    Please help.

  • Cost of goods manufactured vs COGS+ Material ledger

    Hi Experts,
    My company is implenting Material Ledger. They want to see the actual cost of goods manufactured. We are able to develop the actual cost of goods sold in COPA. The required report is to show:
    1- Direct material used at standard + variances (price + usage) to give the actual.
    2- Direct labor (standard + variances = Actual)
    3- Manufacturing overhead ( standard + variances = Actual)
    Attached excel file is showing the requirement.
    Your guidance to develop this report by any means (Report painter, BI, other).
    Regards
    Ahmed Zain Hassan

    Hi Ahmed / Ajay.
    1. In order reports KKO0, you dont see the revaluation of ML, as you said Consumption and Activities are revaluated at  Material level, and as far as i know, theres no way to add  records that represent the revaluation.
    2. The easy way to have a Order Report revaluated at actual cost is with LIS(Logistic InfoSys), creating a Z infostructure (eg copy lis S027) that store consumption and activity QTY, and a user exit  that read the actual cost of consumed materials (depending if this is V, S2, S3) and activities and revaluate. In LIS, there are standard way to "re-post" or repopulate the infostructures. This LIS can be reported with the standard functions (ReportPainter, quers on SQ01), or create a Z tcode that show the info stored in the way you want. Problem: Not all know how to customize LIS, and also you need code in the exit.
    3.  In my country (Peru), there are lots of companies that develop a Z Kardex valuated at actual cost (because, is a legal requirement), and also create Zprograms that calculate the order at actual cost (indeed, i create this reports twice). Its a bit complex, but not impossible and depends on custo EG if you have multiple valuations, you need to write code in order to get the infor for this specific valuations.
    4. About COPA, you can post to copa the Actual Cost Component Split calculated by ML. In this CCS, you can identify the Labor, Direct Materials, and overheads.  You have 2 options, You can post the delta to the original field or have an aditional field that store the difference. This stuff is done in KE27, i see 1 example in the SCN (i guess i bookmarked). Its important to understand you dont have the detail of the delta per consumed material, just an agregated value.
    Here is the link
    http://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/ERPFI/KE27+Periodic+Valuation
    5. There is a new ML DrillDown report functionality. Indeed, i couldnt spend time analizing the solution (my test system is with EHP5 and dont plant to upload the OSS), but i guess this is the future. You can look for info with tcode KKML0 in the marketplace, also check this oss 1639462 - ERP accelerators: enhancements in ML drilldown reporting
    My questions:
    What you want?
    + Order Report, i mean Cost detaild per Order? The Actual CCS por order?
    + Material Report? I mean, the monthly average of a Fert, and its CCS ?
    + a PA Report, that show Sales (Incomes), and Costs per matiral , split by Direct, Labor and OverHead?
