Hi Sunil ,
Thnaks for your quick response,it was very useful answer ,
As per your advice i done the settings ,
I created BOM (usuage 5 S&D) withe two sub compenent called length and height with item category R.
Then i created sales order, in sales order the BOM exploded and in the sub compenent of BOM i given the size against the lenght and breath.
After saving , When i run the mdo4 , where i can see that for this order what is the lenght size and breadth size.
The scenario is only the size varies (only input from the customer)
please let me know at earliest.....

Moving Average Price for Non-Valuated Material

Hello Experts
The question may seem to be quirky but need your advice for the below.
My client is buying non-valuated material against a cost center, they do not want to keep the stocks valuated. No value update only quantity update. The accounting documents are the following when the GR is done by receiving folks
Qty of material XYZ goods receipted = 10
Debit     Consumption GL   12345678       10 USD          Cost Center ABC123 (This is a warehouse cost center)
Credit    GR/IR account                            10 USD
Qty of mateiral XYZ issued = 5
The goods are later on issued to Production cost center and the client was the below entries to be passed with MOVING AVERAGE PRICE.
Debit    Consumption GL 12345678           6 USD          Cost Center ABC456 (This is production Cost center)
Credit   Consumption GL 12345678           6 USD          Cost Center ABC123 (This is warehouse cost center)
I am aware that as this is a non valuated material the above entry is not possible. Maybe, I will use BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST for the generating the accounting document when the goods are issued from warehosue to production center.
My question is how can i get the moving average price.

Chokkalingam Pillai

you can have an accounting view for non-valuated materials, this helps for example with purchase requisitions as they could take the valuation price from the material master and the user does not need to enter a valuation manually.
But the material master moving average price cannot be calculated and updated automatically, as it is not foreseen in any standard program to do this for cost center procurement, since SAP only calculates a MAP for valuated stocks.
Further it is not logical to issue non-valuated stock valuated (even with a different price) from cost center to cost center.
It looks like you want to have a kind of internal billing for warehouse services, as you end up with a negative amount in the warehouse cost center which is then the profit.
Why don't you just create a report to run at the end of the month, listing all goods issue movements with their cost centers and taking the price from last PO (or from material master if you decide to maintain it manually) and use this for a manual cost center posting in CO module

PP-MM-FI integration for Non-Stock material consumption

The client is expecting a simple solution for a Std SAP process which is LIKE subcontracting....but actually not.
The requirement is to set up a process of external operations using a NonStock (NLAG) material ( which will have no physical stock updation when GR is done). This material is a part of BOM with item category N. The material will have S price control. ( Must from business requirements). PR gets created from process order --> converted to PO --> then 101 and simultaneous automatic consumption gets debited to order. (with a price = PO price). PO has a account assignment F and item category blank Standard).
Question - This behaviour is not desired. The "Std cost" should be used in posting a consumption posting..& the rest ( PO price less Std price) should be shown as purchase price variance in a different acount. How to customise this break up ? Is there way in MM pricing conditions or something else ?.
Pl note that there is no stock entry...only consumption will be debited with GR offset at PO price. Also at invoice verification, the price if different should be posted to price difference account ( which is not assigned to process order...it is directly going to COPA).
Might be a very simple SAP solutions / answers from MM /PP......so that we avoid the ABAP development for reposting..
Could somebody help pls ?
Regards
Ram

Hi,
Since Material is Non-Stock Material so it is must to maintain the Account Assignment Category in PR or PO for this Material. And once you maintain the Account Assignment Category in PO and do GR w.r.t. this PO then it will not consider the Material Master Price (Standard Price) since there is not any Stock Account Entry during GR, it will hit the Expense Account. And Price Difference Account will get debited only if Stock Account will come in picture.
So following Accounting Entry will get generated;
During GR (MIGO);
Expense Account - Dr
GR/IR Clearing A/c - Cr
During LIV (MIRO);
Vendor Account - Cr
GR/IR Clearing A/c - Dr

Unit Cost of non stock material - Hubwoo Catalogue

Hi Team,
There is one requirement to transfer the the cost of matrial from SAP PM to ArcFM. Here the materials are assigned to the operations in the PM order. Here we want to transfer the service cost and material cost of the particular operation to the ArcFM ( ie an external design tool) to estmate the total cost involved for the particular operation.
Here the unit cost of the stock material can be get from the material master. But for nonstock material, a hubwoo catalogue is maitained. How do we get the unit cost for the this material?
There is an interfece we have to develop to transfer the service cost and material cost from the SAP to ArcFM. Hence we have to get the unit cost of the non stock material here.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Shyjith

Hi,
Yes, you are right but in material master price is not updating, many times I have been assigned the same material as a non stock and at every time I have maintained the planned price on order level but it is still maintained as "0" value in material master,
what is the standard process?
what settings need to be made to get automatically planned price or last purchased price for a non stock material?

Non valuated material and free materials

hi,
friends
pl provide me the difference between non valuated and free materials.
thanks
durga prasd

Hi Durga Prasad
Free material: These materials are valuated ,but we procure it free of charge.So while creating a PO for free materials then in the PO we can check the Free of charge indicator.Then if you do a GR aganist this PO,there are 2 scenarios ie
If the material is valuated at moving average price,then there will not be any accounting documents at the time of GR.But the moving average price gets recalculated since your stock level increases.
If the material is valuated at Standard price,then accounting documents gets generated at the time of GR even if its frree of charge delivery.
If we dont have a PO,then also if we want to do GR for free material,then this can be donr using the movement type 511.Transaction code is MIGO.Goods receipt with reference to others
Non -Valuated Material:This type of material is not valuated in any valaution areas.
(But if you are refering to non valuated material type(UNBW) then its different scenario)
Hope this will help you
Reward if useful

Account assignment check for non-direct material in shopping cart creation

Hello Guru's
i'm very new to SRM please help me
We require all non-direct material shopping carts to be ordered with a valid account assignment. Therefore we implemented BADi ZUB2MB_DP_PROD_CHK to suppress the u201COrder as Direct Materialu201D Button. This button allows any order to be placed without account assignment like a direct material.
We started ordering direct materials in SRM at go-live with a cost center, but when they were received, SAP considered them consumed due to the account assignment and did not place them into QA Inspection or assign a batch. We immediately, switched back to SAP for direct materials.
We need a solution that will require all non direct material shopping carts to have account assignments, while allowing direct materials to be ordered with or without account assignments. All while keeping the current checks in place regarding the mixing of account assignments, Z required for TBI catalogs, etc.
please tell me how to write the logic in the DOC_CHEK_BADI to check weather account assignment is made for non-direct material while creating a shopping cart.
thanks in advance....

Account Assignment notification, should be take care by standard SRM functionality itself..
Your using SRM 7.0 or 5.0 ??
Thanks!!

Subcontracting PO for Non Valuated Material

Hi,
We are taking the customer's material for Job work, which is non valuated material.
But for one process we are giving the same material to the subcontractor.
We are unable to raise a Subcontracting PO in the system for the same. Because system is asking for the account assignment for the Non Valuated material.
If I use the account assignment K and Item category L for the subcontracting PO, System is consuming the finished material at the time of Goods receipt for subcontracting PO. But I need to do material movements for that finished product provided by the subcontractor, like internal process and sales order/Goods issue to the customer.
Kindly Suggest a solution.
Thanks in Advance
Ravi Kumar

Hi,
I have tested the below mentioned scenario But the material is coming as a valuated material.
"yes it is standard process.
If you want , you can change the atteributes to the corresponding material type.
go to spro > logistic general > mateial master > basic settings > difine attributes for material type.
make the material type as quantity update and value update , other wise your requirement is not possible"
But I do not want to show this stock in my material valuation because it is my customer stock.
Please suggest and other Alternative.
Thanks

Non-Standard query

Hi All,
I may be a little too late to post this issue.
I want to follow a non standrad procedure of carrying Settlement a Process Order to Cost Center instead of Material.
This is needed due to business practice with client.
However i wanted to know the repercussions and areas of worry where i may face errors.
Can anyone help me in getting this conceptually clear.
Thanks in advance.
Piyush

Hi Ramesh,
Thanks a lot for the information.
In this regard i would like to further say that in our current project we do not have the feature of WIP. In PP only BoM is being maintained without any routing etc.
As regards capturing of Raw Material Cost, i find the following JE flowing into FI from PP :
Raw Material Consumption Dr.      (P/L item)
Raw Material Stock           Cr.       (B/S item)
FG Stock                         Dr.       (B/S item)
Inc/Dec in FG Stock         Cr.        (P/L item)
I tried to settle the Process Order to a Cost Center (instead of standard Material by changing the Settlement rule manually)
The value for the 2 P/L items(for which cost element is maintained) is flowing into Cost Center from where i can pick up only the Raw Material Consumption cost element for my reporting.
All other expenses are being captured at Cost Center Level.
However the area of concern that i am facing is that i am unable to make settlement of Process Order in periods other than period 1.
Maybe you can throw some more light on this aspect.
Thanks again...and not to forget to mention the reward points will be coming soon coz ur reply has been very helpful.

Create non-valuated material using MMU1 and MM01

Hi MM expertise,
To create non-valuated material, we need to use standard SAP transaction MMU1.
Earlier on, I created the non-valuated material using MM01. Want to know any impact and different between MM01 and MMU1.
Regards,
sim

mm01 is for creating the material code for all types of materials.
mmu1 is only for non valuated material.
if u want u can check in mmu1 u dont finf the material type selction option, where as u find it in mm01.

Total Stock in Accounting View for Non valuated material

Hi,
There is one plant 1050 which is non valuated (only Qty updation ).I maintained accounting view with value 0. I will do 501 movement.
It is showing me in MMBE tcode.
But when I go to check in accounting view it is zero.If it is non valuated whether stock gets updated in Accounting view of material master or not.
This problem we are facing at client location.
Please help me in understanding.
Regards
Raghavendra Pai

Hi,
It is not a problem, this is standard SAP, since the material is non valuated, you could not see the stock in Accounting view.
Normally for non valuated material, no need to maintain accounting view. Even if you maintain stock will not be reflected in that view.

Prabu

Splitt valuation for non valuated material

Hi all,
Is it possible to make splitt valuation for non valuated material? if yes how?
Our business scenerio
Large no of spare parts (ERSA).Divide spare parts material type into 2,
1 for valuated and another for non valuated,
For non valuated spares,copy from ERSA make it ZBLB for non val spares
now
How to make the split valuation for ZBLB material type material's ??
Do u have any idea ??
Regards,
Hareesha

Hi
Split valuation is the concept used for individual valuating of different lots of same material.
Here you have created a new material type ZBLB from ERSA for maintaining non-valuated materials. There are several significant points in your actions.
1) When u are able to maintain materials seperately with different material types, what way u want to use split valuation concept?
2) As the non-valuated material implies for no value updating, the material type does not provided with accountign view. So no valuation class and obviously no valuation type. The prpcurement of non valuated material will be account assigned.
3) For non-valuated materials, either u have to use standard material type UNBW or copy from UNBW. donot copy from ERSA.
I hope your doubts are cleared. Please come out with your comments if any specific.
warm regards

Moving Average Price for non stock material

Hi All,
We are looking at loading a large number of material masters for items that will not be stocked - i.e. an account assignment will always be provided during purchasing.
When we load these materials - what should the moving average price on the accounting tab be set to? If we put an estimated price in - then when we purchase we will get a warning if the variance between the purchase price and the moving average price is too great. And then when the material changes in price (in lets say a year because the vendor has increased prices by 10%) we can no longer update the moving average price.
What is the best practice in this scenario?
Kind Regards,

non stock material (standard material type NLAG) does in general not have accounting views, hence it has no fields for moving average prices.
however it can be customized to have an accounting view, we did it too. This servers the requisition process, with accounting view the price defaults to the requisition. without accouting view, the valuation price needs to be entered manually by a user in the requisition.
The MAP gets only updated if the stock is posted to inventory, which will never be the case for non-stock material, because of this you should always be able to change the MAP directly in the material master with MM02, or if not possible in MM02 with MR21.

Non stock material - Account assignment category Q

Dear All,
I have came across a strange situation.
For non stock material, qty update and value update is un checked in configuration.
When I am trying to create PR or PO for non stock material, system is giving an error for account assignment category.
Upto this, everything is fine.
Now when I am entering account assignment category - Q, system is allowing me. Further ahead, when I am doing GRN, stock is also generated which is against the SAP standard practise. Because stock should be consumed for non-stock material.
However, for other account assignment category, system is not generating stock and directly consumes the material.
Once stock is generated, system is also not allowing issue of this material, because qty update is unchecked.
Would request you to please help me. Do I need to do any configuration in the system for this.?
Please help.
Thanks & Regards,
MP

Hello,
Thank you ver much for your inputs.
But the problem is, how come stock generated for a material of material type "non-stock material". As per standard practise, non-stock material should be directly consumed and can not come in stock.
Problem comes only when we use account assignment category - "Q". For other account assignment categories, stock is getting consumed.
Thanks & Regards,
Mihir Popat
