Material Stock Valuation

Hi
I have an issue with my client. The client wants the material stock to be valuated at standard price. In the month there would be issues and reciepts of stock at the standard price. In such cases, system by default post the difference to P&L Accounts assigned.
However, now at the month end, the user wants to load the material with the variances. However, the system will debit or credit the price difference account and update the stock value accordingly. How do we account for the issues and reciepts during this period for the material.
As per the client, the variances from the standard postings are a violation of accounting principle according to which all issues and reciepts should be valuated at actual fair price

Sanil Bhandari

The solution is Activate Material Ledger- The variances will be captured and can be loaded as required by you.
All the best

Inclusion of indirect material costs in the finished stock valuation

Gurus,
I need to include the costs of the indirect materials (such as fuels, consumables) etc. to the finished stock valuation. I want to treat these costs as overheads and include them to the finished stock valuation through cost sheets. Initially I would post these materials against the cost centers, but I am not sure how to include those costs to the finished stock valuation through the cost sheets. Request your advice on the same.
Thanks in advance!
Snigdho.

Hi
Attach this costing sheet to your valuation variant / costing variant
Release the std cost based on this costing variant... Your std cost would include Overheads as well... hence, your inventory value would include overhead

Problem with project stock valuation class

Dear All,
We have an issue regarding the Revenue Inventory and Capital Inventory. There is a certain balance amount which should be in capital but system is showing in Revenue and vice versa.
The reason for this is that when the material was created, in some materials the main valuation class was 3032(Project) and in some it was maintained as 3030(revenue). But project stock valuation class was not maintained.
Now the problem persists in the G/L balances, the G/L of project stock (132006)displays some amount of revenue(132000) and vice versa.
We tried to maintain the project stock valuation class (3032) for materials for which the main valuation class is 3030 (Revenue),but still the G/L for revenue (132000) is getting hit.
At the end, the requirement is that G/L for revenue (132000) should hit when revenue procurement is there and G/L for capital (132006) should hit when capital procurement is there.
Kindly suggest the way forward.
Regards,
Harsh

Thanks Venkat, we have thought of the same as a last stop but there are hundreds of materials which has this problem and there would be many open documents for them.
If anything could be suggested other then this, and I wanted clarification on one more point that the materials for which main valuation class was 3030 and later we added 3032 in project stk Val class but after maintaining it. When we procure(Capital procurement), it is still showing the balance in G/L 132000(Revenue).

Stock valuation down to Storage location level

Dear all,
System setup for stock valuation is till Plant level. And understand that's how data stored in table MBEW and MBEWH until plant level only.
Eventhough that is system standrd, is that possible to get the stock valuation until Storage location level?
For eg: In MB5B, there is opening stock, closing stock and the material movement posting. I need to get opening and closing stock for each storage location.
Could you please comment if there are tables store these data? Kindly comment.

Hi Afshad Irani,
Thanks for your reply. Understand from the previous post that stock valuation for storage location can be done via table MARDH or report MC.9, but this tools are excess base on period/month basis.
My case, i need to report storage location stock for both (1)last month 06.2010 and (2)yesterday's stock 06.07.2010. So i can use MARDH table to report (1)last month stock for each storage location. While for (2) yesterday stock, table MARDH isn't help.
Could you please advice further?

Stock Valuation - Inventory Management Cube

Dear Sap Gurus,
We have implemented the Inventory Management Cube in BW.
Quantities are correct, but we have difference on the stock valuation.
For some material stock value are correct, for some other they are not correct.
A saw a lot of OSS notes and how to on this subject, I am trying to solve this issue using these documents, but based on your experience could you explain me how you solved this issue ????
Thanks,

Hi
Did you follow the correct steps?
Initialisation of BX data in the first step.(Loading of Opening Stock)
Then The request in which the opening stock was loaded must always be
compressed with a marker update
Init load of BF And UM in the second step
The request in which the historical material documents were contained
must always be compressed without a marker update and
Successive delta uploads must always be compressed with marker
updates
Check this whether you have done this or not.
Because of missing the steps here also would give you wrong values,
Regards
Ram

Storage location wise project stock valuation

Hi all,
I am tying to generate a report for storage locationwise project stock valuation. MBBS is giving the data valuation type as well as WBS element wise valuation.That is fine. I want to show the data storage location wise. So, I have taken MSPR table where I am getting data storage location wise. For this stock, i am picking up unit price from QBEW table. My user says there will be cases that the material comes in with different prices in a same financial period.Here I am facing issue when there are two prices for the same material with same Val.area and same WBS element .Pls tell me how can I pick up the correct price.

Hi,
If stock with different price under 1 plant and 1 WBS Element put into different storage location based on the material price then in table MSPR we can have LGORT (storage location) as indicator there. Otherwise, since valuation type is not implemented, there is no other way you can differentiate stock based on price as you mentioned before.

Stock valuation at store level

Hi Experts
I've added the charactaristic 0STOR_LOC to cube 0RT_C36 to have stock cost by store, however, it's not working as expected, totals for any other characteristic (plant, material, month, day .. ) and ratios quantity and stock value are working fine but when I drill down to plant->store the quantities are ok but the stock value is not.
the question is, it's possible to have stock valuation at store level?, i understand that the valuation in R/3 is at plant level not store, but in infosource 2is_03_bf we have 0STORE_LOC, so it makes sense to have a finner grain isn't it?
I compare data from bw with transactions MC.5, with transaction RWBE its not possible have stock value at store level.
thanks for any help

Thank you for your quick reply
I've checked the link, which is just what I was looking for ...
by the way, do you know where the these how to papers have gone?, I used to get them in
http://service.sap.com/bi -> service & implementation -> HOW TO ... Guides -> BW 3.x (or something like that)
now there is a list under
http://service.sap.com/bi -> service & implementation -> HOW TO ... Guides -> Guide List Sap BW 3.5 - part of NW 04
a list like this appears:
Cross-Component Technical Scenarios
Portal, KM and Collaboration

which is almost empty, so where the howto papers are gone?

Actuals for stock valuated materials in a valuated project stock

Hi friends!
Iu2019m working with materials in the project, and we are going to do direct external procurement from the project. The material we are using are valuated stock and in the project I have valuated project stock.
The requirements are that the vendor give us the material prices, and the material will not be consumed by the project(WBS/network). All the material will be collected to the special project stock until we decide to move the material to the unrestricted stock to be consumed by another department in the company. All the actual cost must follow-up in the project.
This is what I do:
From the project I create material components and I create the PO requisition I got the same price as in the project. Thatu2019s ok.
When I convert the PO requisition to the PO I got no price but if I save I got the latest used price for the material and this could varied and it´s ok but should not work like this for this scenario.
My doubts are when I do the goods receipt (MIGO) and the price of the material in the PO are not the same as the stock valuated price I got the difference as actuals in the project and the valuation of the material are in the project stock. If the price of the PO is the same as the valuation price I got no actuals in the project.
When I register the invoice from the vendor (MIRO) I got no actuals either so I cannot do my project follow-up costs. When I check the cost they are in accounting (balance sheet account).
When I do the material movement with 411Q to unrestricted stock I donu2019t get any actuals in the project either.
Is this a normal behavior when using stock valuated materials in a valuated project stock?
I SAP help I found this information for non valuated project stock:
u201CAll the actual production costs appear in the project because no price variances can occur and all external procurement follow-up costs are debited to the WBS element.u201D
But if the best practice is to use valuated project stock why follow-up costs cannot be done in the project?
Please give me some ideas of this,
Best regards
Jose Marin

If the mateiral was created using the no stock material material type then yes you can see this material in MM60. Search using material type 'NLAG' for non stock.

In Project stock valuation during GR MAP is picked up from VMVER field

Hi!
We are facing an issue during the GR of Material in Production order.
I will explain the scenario:
The main material is valuated in MAP (Moving average price).
On creation of the production order the planned value is coming ok ( summation of components).
As it was a project valuation, the MAP values are getting stored in the table QBEW.
The point of concern is at the time of doing GR the actual value is getting picked up from the field VMVER (=MAP/Period unit price in previous period)
and not from the field VERPR (= MAP/Period unit price).
As per the scenario the system must consider the latest MAP value that is from VERPR and not from VMVER.
Can't find out what setting is affecting this selection.
Abhra

Hi,
I am still having problems with this issue. The material is extended for plant 1200 and a valuation class and project stock valuation class have been set.
Is there a configuration setting required?

Stock Valuation Level?

Hi All,
ours is a project based company and we dont have plants as we are not into any type of production.
we have registered offices at 14 states in India. At present stock is valuated for each project and all values will be accumalated and shown in balance sheet.
we have PS also.
in this type of scenario how can we suggest plants in SAP and valuation.
please suggest me.
thanks in advance.
shashi

Dear Shashi,
1) ours is a project based company and we dont have plants as we are not into any type of production.
Ans - It is not necessary that you have to have production to create a plant.
2) At present stock is valuated for each project and all values will be accumalated and shown in balance sheet. -
- How you valuate plant for each project? What organisational structure elment you use to do so?
3) Based on other details, even if you are having PS, you can create plant to valuate the material. You can assign the plant to the project created. I assume that you are buying material for the project. All material movements are happening with respect to the project. If you are having document splitting & want to track project wise profitability & receivable / payable & other balance sheet items, then it is better to create plant and profit center for every single project.
The material valuation should be at plant level relevant to each project to track better material movement & valuation.

Gov

Period wise project stock valuation

hi all,
is there any function module or any possibility to calculate the project stock valuation period wise? Please let me know if possible.Thanks in advance.

Hi Jaya ,
Provided Material Ledger is active in the Valuation Area , you can get your Stock valuation Periodwise
in transaction CKM3,but with single selection of WBS/Sales Order for Special Stocks .
I am not sure in that area to give you a step by step process of how to activate the material Ledger
or its consequences and impacts on costing. May be you can approach some consultants in your
company who are well versed with this functionality and check if it serves your purpose.

Transfer material from Valuated project non valuated project

Hi Experts,
While i am trying to transfer material from Valuated project stock to Non valuated project with T.Code MB1B movement type 415 'Q', I am getting following error.
WBS element has different inventory valuation
Message no. CN769
Diagnosis
The project definition for WBS element only allows the following stock control:
No project stock
No project stock with defined valuation M
' ' = non-valuated project stock
'M' = valuated project stock
System Response
Account assignment not possible.
Procedure
Change the settings for the project stock in the project definition (Control tab) or use a suitable WBS element.
Kindly suggest me how to trafer material from Non valued project stock to valuated project stock.
Regards

Actually, you sohuld not be transferring stock to non-vlauated proejct directly. In case of non-valuated project, stock is never valuated while in case of valuated project it is valuated. So there is basic difference in valuation method. This will create inconistency if you attempt ot transfer it directly.
You should rather transfer this stock to general stock and then transfer to non-valuated project stock.

Mahendra

Multiple Stock Valuation without AVR

Hi,
We have requirement to keep and book 2 actual costs stock valuation version which are according to IFRS and local.
Understand that SAP standard solution is AVR. But we can't use it because our upstream business not using PP at this moment.
Please advice if any best solution for this ?
Thank you

Hi,
I don't know what you mean by AVR, but in MM the standard solution for your requirement is called "split valuation".
Or do you mean having the same stock but valuated to two different prices? In such case the "material ledger" functionality in CO can help you.

Special stock valuation

Dear Experts,
Can any one tell me whre we will do project stock valuation .
and how the table QBEW-LBWST will get updated
Thanks
Bhaskar

Dear Bhaskar,
Materials with project stock and standard price price control are valuated as per the following strategy is HARDCODED in the system:
1. looks into QBEW if any GR/IR has already taken place.
2. runs user Exit COPCP002 / EXIT_SAPLCK36_001 which is designed
exclusively for valuated sales order stock.
3. looks for a marked sales order cost estimate.
4. looks for planned costs of a production order (preliminary costing).
5. CU50 if configurable material (only for project stock)
6. standard price from MBEW (standard cost estimate)
The first time a goods movement is carried out the system will go through this strategies until it can find a valid price, and then will write an entry in QBEW. The successful strategy number is also written to field LBWST. From then on, the price from these tables will be used for valuating the special stock in every other goods movement.
You can find this part of the coding in Function Module CK36_STANDARD_PRICE_GET > Form PRICE_STRATEGY_NEW.
Note 520000 which provides more information about this logic.
Best Regards,
Antje
