Material maintained in split valuation and batch management

Dear Seniors,
I have maintained a material with both split valuation and batch management. If i check in MMBE, only batch management is getting preference. Valuation type is not coming. Why is it so ? why maintaining both is not possible in SAP ??? kindly explain me please.
Regards,
JanaMM

If you Mantain both Split valuation as well as batch mgmt for a material, then all stock reports will show "Batch " and Not valuation type since batch is relevant to inventory mgmt and split valuation is relevant for account determination and valuation. , the only report which wil show you both is BMBC(batch info cockpit).
You can however run MB5B w.r.t valuation type in the input screen.
In such cases , The Valuation Type forms a part of the batch master which you can see in MSC3N .

Split valuation with batch management and project stock

Dear Gurus,
I need to combine two following requirements:
1. split valuation with batch management (valuation type = batch number)
2. project stock
These two functionalities work fine separately but not together.
I receipt PO for material with spiit valuation on a batch level into a project stock. Posting is OK and material document (MSEG table) seems to be OK (batch number, valuation type and project stock are in this table). The problem appears when I want to display material in this valuation type (MM03) or batch (MSC3n). They don't exist!!! Short investigation showed that during goods receipt table MBEW (valuated stock) was not updated with this valuation type.
But If PO is receipt into normal stock first and then posted into project stock everything is OK.
Have you had or heart about such issue? I would appreciate any sugestion.
Thsnks in advance.
Marcin Bernat

Hi,
As you already know ,u are using project stock and doing goods receipt against project, stock table QBEW will be updated and not MBEW. MBEW only updates in case of plant stock valuation. If u receive any goods against project stock it does not contribute to plant stock. Irrespective whether your material is managed in split valuation or not, If it is received against project stock it only updates QBEW. There is no need to update MBEW, if u r using split valuation in project. QBEW also have valuation type as another level like MBEW. If u want to see material price for project stock, it can be seen in QBEW -valuation type and not in mm03.
As u r receiving goods against project stock this is d only reason QBEW is updated and not MBEW.
QBEW will store all information like MBEW for batch number, valuation type and project stock assignment.
Hope it answers your question.

Price change for Material Maintained with Split valuation

Hi Gurus,
Scenario is like this :
Material with Valuation type is : Rs.50.
Material W/o Valuation type is : Rs. 0 ( This is done at the time creating material master).
Now i want to correct Rs.0 to Rs.40.
When i try to change price through MR21, system is asking to input valuation type.
Is it not possible to change price for material W/o Valuation type (ie blank one), if material is Split Valuated ?
Thanks

Hi,
if the materila is split valuated then u have to enter valuation type because inthe accouting view you hav edefined valuation type and at that level only it stores the price.
I think you wants to change the price at valuation category level , if this is so then it gets updated automatically thru prices maintained at all the valauation type levels.
Hope it clarifies ur doubt.

Spilt valuation with batch management?

Gurus,
I want to activate split valuation with batch management..
i know the configuration of doing split valuation..
but, i need help on batch management configuration...

hi,
Why do you want both at the same time??
Either split val. or batch management independently can solve your issues...
Please let me know the reason...
For split valuation :
To select split valuation ('OMWC'), proceed as follows:
1. Determine the valuation categories and valuation types that are allowed for all valuation areas:
global valuation categories via menu "Goto --> Global Categories"
global valuation types via menu "Goto --> Global Types"
2. Allocate the valuation types to the valuation categories.
a) Select "Goto --> Global Categories".
b) Position the cursor on a valuation category and select
"Goto --> Global Categories --> Assignments --> 'Types->Category'".
c) Activate the valuation types you want.
3. Determine the local valuation categories for each valuation area.
a) Select "Goto --> Local definitions".
b) Position the cursor on a valuation area and select
"Goto --> Local Definitions --> Allocate Categoires->Org.units (button Cats->(OU)".
You obtain a list of the global valuation categories.
c) Activate the categories to be used in this valuation area.
The system creates the local valuation types based on the allocations under point 2.
Only now can you create a master record with split valuation.
Specifying Split Valuation by creating Material Subject to Split Valuation
1. Create a material master record, selecting the Accounting View 1.
2. Enter your data as required on the Accounting data screen, specifying a valuation category.
(If you can't find the valuation category field, it might be hidden, use OMSR to define the Field Groups.
Look for the field MBEW-BWTTY for Valuation category).
3. Be sure that the price control indicator is V for moving average price and enter a moving average price.
4. In the case of split valuation, you can create only one valuation header record with price control V because the
individual stock values are cumulated, and this total value is written to the valuation header record. This is where the
individual stocks of a material are managed cumulatively. To do this, fill in the Valuation category field on the accounting
screen when you create the material master record and leave the Valuation type field blank.
5. Save your data and the system creates the valuation header record.
6. The initial screen appears.
7. Extend the material by creating new material master records from the Accounting view 1. For the first material, specify a
valuation type in the Organizational Levels dialog box and enter the respective accounting data on the data screen.
Proceed likewise for the other materials, distinguishing between them by valuation type. To do this, call up the material in
creation mode again. Due to the fact that a valuation header record exists, the system requires you to enter a valuation
type for the valuation category.
8. Repeat step seven for every valuation type planned.
You want to valuate the stock of material XYZ that you obtain from manufacturer A in Los Angeles at a different price than the stock you obtain from manufacturer B in Detroit. In this case, the valuation category is H for origin. Your valuation types can be LOS ANGELES and DETROIT.
If a material is subject to split valuation, every quantity (sub-stock) of this material must be assigned to a valuation type (for example, country of origin).
For every valuation type, there are two types of data in the system, as follows:
Valuation data (for example, valuation price, total stock quantity, total stock value), which is defined for every valuation type at valuation-area level and applies to all dependent storage locations.
Stock data, which, like batch data, is managed separately for each storage location. If a material that is subject to split valuation is also subject to management in batches, its stock data is not managed by valuation type, but rather by batch. Every batch is assigned to a valuation type.
The stock quantity, stock value, and valuation price for all valuation types are managed cumulatively at valuation-area level

MM42 change material, split valuation at batch level, M301, locking table

Dear All,
I'm working on ECC 6.0 retail and I have activated split valuation at batch level. Now in MBEW for this specific material I have almost 14.400 entries.
If I try to change some material data (MM42) I receive an error message M3021 A system error has occurred while locking and then Lock table overflow.
I used SM12 to see the table (while MM42 is still running) and it seems that MBEW is the problem.
What should I do? For any material modification the system has to modify every entry in MBEW? Is there any possibility to skip this?
Thank you.

Hi,
Symptom
Key word: Enqueue
FM: A system error has occurred in the block handler
Message in the syslog: lock table overflowed
Other terms
M3021 MM02 F5 288 F5288 FBRA
Reason and Prerequisites
The lock table has overflowed.
Cause 1: Dimensions of the lock table are too small
Cause 2: The update lags far behind or has shut down completely, so that the lock entries of the update requests that are not yet updated cause the lock table to overflow.
Cause 3: Poor design of the application programs. A lock is issued for each object in an application program, for example a collective run with many objects.
Solution
Determine the cause:
SM12 -> Goto -> Diagnosis (old)
SM12 -> Extras -> Diagnosis (new)
checks the effectiveness of the lock management
SM12 -> Goto -> Diagnosis in update (old)
SM12 -> Extras -> Diagnosis in update (new)
checks the effectiveness of the lock management in conjunction with updates
SM12 -> OkCode TEST -> Error handling -> Statistics (old, only in the enqueue server)
SM12 -> Extras -> Statistics (new)
shows the statistics of the lock management, including the previous maximum fill levels (peak usage) of the partial tables in the lock table
If the owner table overflows, cause 2 generally applies.
In the alert monitor (RZ20), an overrunning of the (customizable) high-water marks is detected and displayed as an alert reason.
The size of the lock table can be set with the profile parameter u201Cenque/table_size =u201C. specifies the size of the lock table in kilobytes. The setting must be made in the profile of the enqueue server ( u2026_DVEBM.. ). The change only takes effect after the restart of the enqueue server.
The default size is 500 KB in the Rel 3.1x implementation of the enqueue table. The resulting sizes for the individual tables are:
Owner table: approx 560.
Name table: approx 560.
Entry table: approx 2240.
As of Rel 4.xx the new implementation of the lock table takes effect.
It can also be activated as described in note 75144 for the 3.1I kernel. The default size is 2000 KB. The resulting sizes for the individual tables are:
Owner table: approx 5400
Name table: approx 5400
Entry table: approx 5400
Example: with the
u201Cenque/table_size =32000u2033 profile parameter, the size of the enqueue table is set to 32000 KB. The tables can then have approx 40,000 entries.
Note that the above sizes and numbers depend on various factors such as the kernel release, patch number, platform, address length (32/64-bit), and character width (Ascii/Unicode). Use the statistics display in SM12 to check the actual capacity of the lock table.
If cause 2 applies, an enlargement of the lock table only delays the overflow of the lock table, but it cannot generally be avoided.
In this case you need to eliminate the update shutdown or accelerate the throughput of the update program using more update processes. Using CCMS (operation modes, see training BC120) the category of work processes can be switched at runtime, for example an interactive work process can be converted temporarily into an update process, to temporarily increase the throughput of the update.
For cause 3, you should consider a tuning of the task function. Instead of issuing a large number of individual locks, it may be better to use generic locks (wildcard) to block a complete subarea. This will also allow you to considerably improve the performance.

Configuration steps for Quality and Batch Management.

Hi Friends,
We are implementing QM along with Batch Management for testing the material like purity,pathology tests.
I am new to Quality and Batch Management.
Could any one guide me, how to configure material master for QM and Batch to test the material?.
Thanks

1) Maintain Material with Classification and Quality Management view
2) Tick the Check box Quality key Active in QM View->QM view->Inspection Set up and activate the inspection type for which the inspection lot.(e.g insp. type 01 - GR against PO)
3) Create Quality Info Record(QI01)
4) In PO the stock automatically goes to Quality stock.
5) Check MMBE stock
6) Do Result Recording and Usage Decision(QA32)
7) Check stock (MMBE).
There are few steps where the PP/QM Consultant need to help you in QI01,QA32 and in Creating characteristics and class according to Requirement(purity...etc).

Split valuation for batches

Hi
When Iam going to valuate the material with split valuation with batches. I have around 100 batches/grades of finished product. For evaluating Variances for the batches/Product with batches, what could be the best procedure. Shall i make Versions for all the batches of each material and make procurement/production alternatives. If you have worked on the this scenario please share with me.
Thanks
Vasu

Hi,
You can use concept of Split Valuation for this.
For such materials, use Valuation Category "X" in Accounting1 view of Material Mater.
As a result, after every GR of this material, batch will get created as Valuation Type and will store its value separately (not MAP) and will get issued with this value only at the time of Goods Issue. (System will ask Batch and automatically take the valuation type aslo which is nothing but Batch No only)
Go to OMWC to check the attributes of Valuation Category "X"

VPRS cost and batch management

Hi Gurus,
Is there any link between the cost and batch management? Currently users has posted a billing document and the cost is 0. The VPRS value in the SO is correctly but it is not brought to the billing document.
We have tested and it seems that this is because the batch management checkbox is not checked in material master, so the VPRS is not generated in billing.
Please advise. Thanks.
Regards,
FY

Hi Javier,
what do you do with the VPRS in your calculation- system ?
If you need i, you delete the requirement 004 in your calculation -system.
on the other hand, you can change TANN to komp-evrwr (price determination on the item category) is 'X'. Then you have to add an 100% rabate for TANN and the resukt will be free good.

STOs with split valuation by batches

I have split valuation by batches activated.
The system forces me enter a batch number(valuation type) when i am creating the STO.
It does not make sense, as the batch is really known at the time of shipping.
wE have reviewed all the relevant oss notes , nothing seems to work.
i appreciate if anyone has valuable inputs on this.
best regards

Hello,
Note 66953 explains that during the creating of stock transport orders,
you must enter the receiving 'valuation type' (not the batch number).
The valuation type in a stock transport order is always mandatory in accordance with the following: (w/o OMF4 configuration of either ME21 or ME27 or ME21N)
The first step after posting the stock transfer PO is the goods issue.
In this step, the user is only able to type in the issuing valuation type. But the system also needs the receiving valuation type to post the value correctly.
This information can only be taken from the PO
item. So the valuation type in stock transfer orders is mandatory.
As you have pointed out other valuation types are proposed eventhough they are deactivated. This is normal.
In contrast, the first step after posting normal POs is NOT the goods issue, but the goods receipt. So the receiving valuation type can be typed in and you need not specify the valuation type in the PO item.
For normal POs the valuation type field 'required' can be configured using the field selection reference keys in transaction OMF4 (e.g. ME21 NBF), thereby making the field a required entry. However, a similar
customizing for field reference keys ME27, UBF is not effective.
Note 216904 describes the correction only for standard PO´s (w/o item category 'U').
Also, your description 2 describes the standard system
when creating PO's with split batch valuation and note 66953 addresses this.
I hope this information helped you!

David Merino

What is the difference between Serial numbers and Batch management.

Hi Gurus,
Can anyone explain the difference between Serial Number and Batch Management in breif.
Regards
Ravi

Hi,
Serial number management and batch management are different functions that can be
used in conjunction with each other.
A batch represents a non-reproducible subset
of the total quantity of a material held in stock, which is managed separately from
other subsets of the same material.
For Example Different production lots
(for example, paints, wallpapers, pharmaceutical products), delivery lots or quality
grades of a material.
whereas a serial number is a number that you give to an individual item of material in addition
to the material number, in order to differentiate between this individual piece and all
other items of the material. The combination of material number and serial number
is unique. It is not necessary to use the batch management function to use serial
number management.

VIjay.

Split Valuation by Batch and Stock Transfer

Hi Experts
I have split valuation activated by Batch (X) in my plants. When i try to transfer a material from Plant 1 to Plant 2 the system could not copy the price of sending plant into recieving plant batch. System updates the quantity in the recieving plant without any value. So the cost of sending plant inventory is going into expense/revenue from stock transfer account in recieving plant.
What is missing from my end to have the system automatically copy the sending plant batch value into the recieving plant batch and update the inventory in recieving plant accordingly.
Your help is appreciated.
Thanks
Ram

It depends on how you do the "transfer". If it is an intercompany tfr, it will use the price on the PO in the receiving plant, and you can then make that to be the vale of the sender plant in the condition records.
Otherwise it will use the ruling price in the destination plant.

Material split valuation and costing

Hi All,
We are using ECC6.0.
We have activated split valuation for some matetrials and have
maintained valuation category {"E"} as per requirement of the customer.
Valuation Types that are maintained are : INH for Inhouse Production
and "SUB" for Sub Contracting.
We are facing following Problems:
(1) We are not able to activate the Costing Views at Valuation Type
Level and hence the requirements of the customer to do the valuation
based on Price Available at Valuation Type Level( i.e. at INH & SUB )
is not possible and so to meet the requirement we must activate costing
view at Valuation type level.
(2) As recomonded by SAP all Semi finished goods are maintained at
price control indicator "S". We have activated split valuation for some
of the semi finished goods also and hence we are not able to create the
Semi Finished Goods having Price control indicator as "S" at header
level. The system is throwing the message saying: Only price
control "V" is possible for split valuation;Message no. M3185. But the
customer wants to create all Semi Finished Goods having price control
indicator as "S" at header level.
<b>(3) While running standerd cost estimate(CK11N or CK40N) the system is
not picking the rate maintained at Valuation Type Level i. e.
either "INH" or "SUB". It is picking the price from the header level of
the material master which is basically average of all the prices
available at Valuation type Level (The price appearing at MAP field at
higher level) .</b>
Your Early reply is awaited.
Thanks & Regards,
Bijay Kumar Deo

(1) We are not able to activate the Costing Views at Valuation Type Level
True - Costing view will associate with the header level only. The ONLY material master views that will associate with valuation type is Accounting 1 and 2 - to allow inventory valuation at that level.
(2) As recommended by SAP all Semi finished goods are maintained at price control indicator "S".The system is throwing the message saying: Only price control "V" is possible for split valuation.
True - only moving average is available at the header level because inventory is value only at the Valuation Type Level. The header represents the "Total qty" of material on hand (for ALL valuation types) and the standard price you see is the average value of that quantity, it is for reference only, not use in inventory valuation.
3) While running standard cost estimate(CK11N or CK40N) the system is not picking the rate maintained at Valuation Type Level i. e. either "INH" or "SUB".
True - CK11 and CK40 work with "header data" You were unable to activate Costing 1 and 2 for Valuation types - therefore there is no "place" for cost estimates.
Cost estimate data is maintained it the tables KEKO and KEPH - these tables do not have the key field "valuation type" - there for you cannot create it.
In standard Costing - you must pick one method as the standard by which to procure and value the inventory and the other method of procuring inventory creates values at standard and generates variance.

Material classification and batch management

Hello all,
we have to urgently incorporate a subcontracting process at a semiconductor manufacturing client. They also want to incorporate batch management for 541 and 543 movements. I understand that classification will have to be maintained for the materials first and also related configuration for batch management for movement types.
Can anyone point me to the sequence of steps necessary to make this possible.
Many thanks
satya

u need not worry about charc. in release strategy as btch char. and release strategy cchar,. are completly 2 diffrent things
and yes u must make use of class type 023
and the tcode for generating the condition record for the batch management is MBC1 (u must create a reord if u want that ur batch strategy should work properly)

Material Ledger with Split Valuation Type 'X' with FIFO

Hi,
The requirement from the customer is to have Raw Material, Intermediary and Finished Products valued at Actuals and on a FIFO basis. According to me, this is possible only if we activate Material Ledger, have batch split valuation u2018Xu2019 as the valuation type and have a batch search strategy which does a FIFO. Are there any technical issues with this solution? Or is there a better solution? Is any organisation ever using this solution for a similar requirement? As an extension of this requirement, how does commodity trading companies running in SAP handle their inventory and COGS valuation?
Thanks and Regards
Shivram.

Hi,
Using Material Ledger with batch management and split valuation of each batch ("X") leads to most aaccurate FIFO valuation result, however, depending on how many material and batch the customer has, huge number of materials will be processed and it will affect the performance issues. You should check the number and expected period-end time frame scheduling at least.
Financial responsible tell you to need this kind of solution (detailed FIFO calculation)?
They usualy needs to get simple FIFO valuation, meaning they don't care each individual logistic material movement as FIFO, but only care of periodic FIFO. I know, it depends on Finacial responsibes or their auditors, so it's also not general.
Please double-check the new FIFO valuation function for Material Ledger with using Periodic Closing and AVR. Some information is in SAP Note 1431829 and 1247053. Related transactions are there, CKLMBB_xxxx under Actual Costing/Material Ledger -> Balance Sheet Valuation Procedures. I couldn't find any official documents for Material Ledger + FIFO valuation (like Release Notes).
Hope this will be an additional option to yours.
Best regards, Takashi

PP-PI - Process message processing and batch management in PI_CONS message

Hi All,
Hope you can help me to find the better solution... I will try to explain my scenario
Scenario: to control the production run PP-PI module is in use. Process order are created in SAP system and then transferred to the process control system where the execution of the process order is controlled On-line. Once per month the confirmations are transferred from this control system to SAP. In the Process control system batch are not managed. For good issue posting standard process message PI_CONS is used.
Now we have the situation that some raw materials used for process order processing are managed with batch. During the process order creation the batch related with this raw materials can be determined, only during the month when the raw material is entered in the plant is where the batch is determined. At the end of the month the batch of this materials is available in the SAP system (not in the process control system). Due to behavior of PI_CONS regarding batch if this characteristic is not informed in the process message or in the reservation an issue is trigger.My doubts are:
1.- If I need inform the batch during this confirmation ,an even split the quantities in the process message according the batch availability, I'm force to use a custom process message or there is other workaround? (remember is not feasible send the batch to the process control system)
2.- probably i miss something because I'm can't debug the execution of the process message. How can I debug the execution of a manually created process message?
Sorry for the long explanation I try to explain my scenario as better as possible.
Thanks in advance for your valuable inputs.

Thanks for your replay.
No really I don't like to make the batch mandatory, during the good issue is not feasible inform the batch due to it is not managed in the Process Control System. Due to the behavior of PI_CONS if for batch managed materials the batch is not informed in the message or in the reservation an error is trigger. In the reservation snot feasible inform the batch because in that moment is unknown.
My question is if it is feasible some how have like FIFO batch determination when the process message is processed without creating a custom message.
Thanks in advance
