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 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 .

Material Split Valuation : Procurement Domestic & Import

Dear CO Experts,
I m in a situation where my client has a Raw Material (RM), which is procured domestic & also imported. This RM is attached to a single FG in a BoM.
Do differentiate domestic & import procurement, they have used Split Valuation.
The reason behind such a decision is, since that RM is very sensitive and delay could not be affordable.
Clients are now requesting to have a seperate view of Standard Cost Estimate based on Slipt Valuation. We have observed that execution of Standard Cost Estimate picks only RM which is based on local currency.
Please help me to understand & few steps of missing config, how to have a dual view (based on Slipt Valuation) of Standard Cost Estimate.
Regards,
Hussein.

Hi Hussein
Two RMs are required - But its not a good option... It creates lot of probs in MRP if you have duplicate codes...
Two FGs are not required if you go for 2 RMs....
a. You can create 2 BOMs... The RM will be different in each BOM
b. Routing may be the same
c. Create 2 Prod versions i.e. BOM 1 + Routing = PV1 and BOM2 + Routing = PV2
d. Create 2 Proc Alternatives in CK91N using the Prod 2 Versions
e. Create a Mix ratio in CK94 i.e. weighing factor that you can assign to each PV
f. Calculate cost from CK11N... Costs will be calculated separately for each PV and at the end system would apply the mix ratio specified in CK94
Eg: Cost of PV1 = 100 and Cost of PV2 = 120... If mix ratio is 50:50 - Then Std cost would be 110 (100 * 0.5 + 120 * 0.5)
From my experience - I would advise you to drop your requirement and educate your client about the same... have one single raw material (you can use Split Valuatoin) and use the Average price for Std cost... While execution - The cost of consumption would be charged as per Domestic or Import... This would hence, reflect the price variance....

Split valuation-Preliminary Cost estimate

Hello,
Is it possible to create a Prelimnary cost estimate for split valuated material.Relevant Proc alternaitves crtd
Pls help

Hi,
In the case of split valuation only header and not the valuation
type is costed.
If one material has split valuation, standard price will be released
only for header segment (valution type blank). You have the possibility
to release standard price for in-house production segment, if you set
the 'Default'-flag in the customizing transaction for splitted val.
(OMWC) for the val. category 'X'.
Please check the note 552486 that contains information about
this context. (Question 10).
Alternatively you might created mixed cost estimate to release prices
for each procurement alternative that is associated with an val. type.
The only way to mark and release a standard costing per valuation type
is by using the functionality of mixed costing. That means that you
have to define a quantity structure category and define a
procurement alternative based on a valuation type of your material.
Afterwards you have define a mixing ratio for your material and the
defined quantity structure category.
Based on this mastr data (procurement alternatives and mixing ratios)
it is possible to carry out a mixed costing, one part of this
mixed costing should be a cost estimate based on your valuation type.
If you mark and release the mixed cost estimate the system will
set the standard price on valuation type level (prerequisite:
you have the define the procurement alternative based on the
valuation level)
For more details please have a look in the R/3 documentation for
mixed costing or contact your consultant.
Please refer to NOTE 552486 (FAQ):
"Question 10: In the case of a split valuation, why can the prices only
be updated in the internal segment?
Answer:In the initial standard SAP System, only the header segment is
calculated and the price is updated only here.However, if the "Valuation
type 'in-house production' mandatory" flag is set for the categories in
Customizing (Transaction OMWC), it is also possible to update the price
in an internal segment.For external segments (procured externally) this
does not make any sense in general.However, mixed costings can also be created and updated for several segments via procurement alternatives."
Setting this flag will take impact on materials WITH split valuation
in the future. New prices will be released for the in-house segment
in addition to header segment in TA CK24.

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.

Material Split Valuation Error

Hi,
We have recently implemented ECC 5.0 version of SAP. In case of certain
material we are tracking value based on split valuation. In case of one
material the code was opened without activating valuation category,
subsequently we tried to activate the same , but the system lists out
the POs and stock details in error message, in response we issued the
stock and made it nil and blocked all open POs still the system does
not allow to change valuation category in MM02.
Please guide to resolve problem.
Regards
Milind Nair

Hi,
Thanks for all your replies...
Only one PO was created earlier & GRN was also done against it for the entire qty. Later, the corresponding stock was consumed.
Then, valuation category of this material was set to blank. At that time, it was ensured that there wasnt any stock or any open PO's against it.
Still I am getting this error. Please help me in resolving this issue.
Thanks,
Komal

Split valuation and price control

Dear all,
Case :the price control for mat'l type MAIN is defined as S in IMG,
mat'l no.A with mat'l type MAIN,
test 1:
In plant 01, A with price control S
In plant 02, A with price control V, valuation category X, problem is when I create a PO in plant 02 with mat'l A,when goods receipt, the accounting docs is wrong(D:price difference, C:GR/IR), the debit should be inventory account, it should not hv price diff with price control V under this situation,
test 2,
In plant 02, A with price control V, without valuation category,the acounting document when goods receipt is correct.
test 3,
changed the price control for mat'l type MAIN to V in IMG,
In plant 02, A with price control V, valuation category X, when goods receipt , the accounting document is correct also.
I doubt why this happen, do the split valuation or valuation category X effect?or there's any priority abt price control?
Urgent, can anyone instruct me? thanks in advance, will assign points, thanks.
kathy

Hi, Kathy:
The price control in master data of material have the priority.
Besides, I guess the error happened is due to the incorrect valuation area configuration. If your valuation area is set to company code level, the system will use the same valuation method within a company code.
In this case, you need to set the valuation area as plant level to differentiate the valuation methods between different plants.
Hope it's helpful for you!

Raw materials on MAP with split valuation used in standard cost estimate

We have a few raw materials which are purchased from different vendors and of different brands. We have opened split valuations for these raw materials. These raw materials are later used in manufacture of different finished goods. We use MAP for raw materials and Std. for finished goods. What configuration and processing steps will be required to run standards cost estimate and what will be standard price for a finished good considering the following example:
Material X is finished good
Raw Material A with split valuation @ USD 5 (brand aplha) & USD 10 (brand beta)
Raw Material B without split valuation @ USD 1
It is expected that we used brand aplha 60% of the time and brand beta 40% of the time and production batch size is usually 100 Kg.
Please reply

hi chris
Hope you have configured the material A for split valuation. while calculating standard cost estimate for the material C. through ck11n, the system will pick up the header price from material master.
But here you are saying that you have chances of using the material A, 60% of brand alpha and 40% brand beta
Instead of using split valuation use mixed costing concept. create the material A with separate Ids and create two boms one with alpha and the other with beta.
create procurement alternative in CK91N and mixed ratio with Ck94 and release the mixed cost estimate

Advantages and disadvantages of Activating Split Valuation

Hi,
Can anyone tell me about the advantages and disadvantages of activating split valuation and how it impact in CO module.

hi,
You need to do a split valuation for a material when you come across any of the below mentioned scenario
1> when there is a difference in country of origin for the material
2> when there are different grades of quality( 1st quality / 2nd quality ) for the same material
3> when the material has to be differentiated between in-house production and external procurement
4> to differentiate between the different deliveries......
when you don activate split valuation ,,
under any case the material will be priced with the same standard price even if its an external procurement at a higher cost.. the values are fetched automatically from the material master,.

Split valuation for Finished Goods - Target cost was not updated

Hi,
We are following split valuation for 'Finished goods'.
Valuation typte 1 is for 'manufacture' and
Valuation type 2 is for 'External procurement'
For production orders with this material, we are not getting target costs. It is showing zero.
We have done release of standard cost estimate before creation of production orders and goods receipt for these orders. But still it is not updating.
Pls guide me.
Regards
MadhuSekhar Gupta

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
At the time of variance calculation only the credit part of target cost will update and at the time of goods receipt debit part of the target cost will update.
Our client has done goods receipt but debit part of the target cost was not updated. and the order status is DLV.
I simulated the scenario in QAS by creating new finished goods materials (Industry-Construction) one is with split valuation and another is without split valuation, then the debit part of target cost was updated at the time of goods receipt and credit part was updated at the time of variance calculation for both the materials. So this problem was not arised because of split valuation.
Was this problem arising because of the material master data, because for one material it is updating and for another it is not for the same configuration?

Split Valuation For Material Having No Open PO & Stock

Hi Experts,
Will somebody throw light on split valuation where there is no any open PR, PO & Stock for that material but system does not allow to make material split valuated.
System shows error meassge giving old PO nos list.
(Logically all these POS whole business transcations/cycle is completed )
I want split valaution to be done to the material whose stock is nil also there is no any open PR,PO for that plant in the system.
But I dont prefer to delete line items of the old PO for doing the split valuation.
Please suggest solution
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You can find severaé threads about this on this forum.
Some hints:
1. In MM02 try to set the split valuation > Save > SAP will give error message > Push the appearing 'Display errors' button > SAP will say what hinders you from being able to set the split valuation.
2. As I remember stock has to be zero in current and previous period. (You can set your stock to zero in the previous period using MB1A201posting date in the past; after having set split valuation you can reset your stock level via MB1A+202).
3. IMPORTANT: you have to archive all existing batch records.
4. etc

Split valuation but category is grey in one material type

hi,
i met a strange things about field "valuation category" in material master. in our plant, we active split valuation, and all the setting is ok.
but when i create a material with material type FERT, the field valuation category is grey, can't enter value, but if i changed the material type, then can enter the category value. i check the field in field group are all the same setting that is option by T-CODE, industry, field reference, plant and etc.
so i don't konw why one type can enter value but another type is grey?

Hi,
Please check the Split Valuation settings are as follow:
1.SPRO> MM>VALN AND ACC ASSIGNMENT> SPLIT VALUATION> Acitvate Split Valuation
2.SPRO> MM>VALN AND ACC ASSIGNMENT> SPLIT VALUATION> Configure Split Valuation
Click on Golbal type: create your own valuation types as Type 1, Type 2 etc
Click on Global categories:create your own Valuation Category as Type(T) and
Activate all valuation types(Type1, Type2 ) for your category(T)
You can also check FERT material type and acct. cat. reference.Also you can again verify in OMSR get field group,OMS9, enter material type and check the field is required or hide and then change according to ur requirement& save.

Transport of Number range and release proceure and split valuation

Dear Gurus,
Can we transport number ranges from PRD server to Quality Server?
Also, how will we trasport split valuation and release procedure?
Kindly suggest..

Hi
Number ranges you have to create directly as it is not transportable.
For release Strategy details, all your Release config details are transported Except for the below details
1. Characteristics & values assigned to it ( master data)
2. Class & assigned characteristics to it (master data)
3. Values/ranges inside the Release strategies ( classification details).
These three details are to be recreated/assigned in the client you intend to work upon.

We need to manage raw materials by vendors(makers).(about Split valuation)

Hi all.
We just started a project to install SAP system.
Our client need to valuate their raw materials by vendors(makers).
For example : raw01(3Cm*3Cm steel hot coil) is sold by VendorA, VendorB, and VendorC.
Raw01(from VendorA, B, and C) are same materials but the price is largely different by vendors(makers),
just as raw01(VendorA)'s price is 1,000/EA,
       ,     raw01(VendorB)'s price is 1,500/EA
     ,and raw01(VendorC)'s price is 2,000/EA
So our clients , expecially finance dept and purchasing dept, want to manage them seperately.
Finally we consider about split valuation(batch valuation with valuation type).
But Our concern is as below:
1. System Performance : The number of GR is 1,000 / per day.
                                        It means that the batchs(1000EA) will be created everyday.
2. In case of raw mat, we want split valution.
   All material type use Batch : Our material types are raw mat, half finished good, finished good.
                                                 They will be managed Batch number.
                                                 But we just want to manage split valution in case of raw material.
Now we consider all cases which can be occured.
Please give us good advice.
Best.
Mahnkwi.

Split valuation Issues in PO

Hi Consultant,
I have one issue with Split valuation -configuration. I have maintained all the configuration setting related to split valuation but whenever I will create PO system does not pick-up the price (different price based on the valuation type in material ) .
The following configuration have done in IMG:
i) Activated split valuation
II) Maintain valuation category under this group in to three valuation types.
III) Activate Plant, (assign into valuation type)
Maintain condition table with key combination (material/plant/price/val.type)
Assign into condition type PB00
Maintain condition records in MEK1 (for this material)
Maintained one header material with valuation category then same material has extended to different valuation types and prices.
Is it necessary to maintain Info record for the split valuated material?
Why system does not valuate the price automatically based in the valuation type changes made in PO?
Regards,
Thiru

Hi, Thiru,
Please check the settings for configuration of split valuation;
If you want to use split valuation, activate the settings found in customizing for material management under
Valuation and Account Assignment--> Split Valuation-->Activate Split Valuation
Define valuation category and a valaution type.
Valuation category determines the criteria for distinguishing between stocks.The valuation type decribes the possible features of the partial stocks.
You define valuation category, valuation types and assignment of types to categories in customizing for material management
Valuation and Account Assignment--> Split Valuation-->Configure Split Valuation
Also first check you material master record with MM03 by selecting the desired organization levels and see whether the valuation prices are showing as per desired valuation type.
Also would like to add that info records are not required in split valuation.
