Nonvaluated material(UNBW)

Do you have a good/simple and easy to understand example of nonvaluated material (UNBW)? Let me know if you do
Thanks
-Bharath

Hi
Non-valuated material are basically those materials for which you generally wish to have stock but not valuation, Materials whose individual values are very very small or you can say ot worth maintaining in master level. Porcurement will be cost center based, materials will be issued directly against the costcenter during GR itself. Normal materials for which there are lot of transaction between two plants in the same Ccd and we do not want any accounitng documents generated based upon transaction also can be taken undet this category for profit center calculations.
Some times we receive customer materials for which we carry out some sub_contracting work and return back the material , inthsicae also we do not want our ccounting documents to get generated except for stock quantity.
Broadly if we do not want accounting document to be generated then for stockmaterials we can go for this provided the procure ment is cost center based.
Best Regards

MM Transfer material UNBW with movement types

Dear friends !
I would like to know if is it possible to transfer material UNBW thru MM ?
Could I use movement type 303 - 305 or 641 and 101 ?
best regards
Ale

HI,
You can use any movement type UNBW. For UNBW account assignment is mandatory so when you post UNBW material reciept it will directly post to comsumption account not to stock account.

Stock of nonvaluated material

We want to purchase some stationary and keep it in stock. This will be monitored as a Quantity only not a value . We issue it to Cost Center as and when required . How I can I procure these items. When I create PO for UNBW items system asks me a Cost Center but I do not want the Account assignment at the time of PO or GR as we are keeping it in stock and only when we issue it we will issue it to Cost Center . How can be the cycle or what is configuration is required for this ? How can be the account movements.
Is it possible to have one dummy cost center and GL and during PO , I can give that account assignment and while at the issue I can issue it to actual Cost Center
Please guide

Dear Bhushan ,
For such item please use blanket PO .
Details & characteristics of blanket PO are as below
Item category B stands for Limit & used in Blanket PO
For such item category we use order type - Framework (FO)
For these item no material no required
In PO account assignment category U is allowed
Usually used for low value items
These PO are having validity period & value limit
Invoice posting is wrt Blanket PO
No GR
I hope this will give you idea of Item category B & its application & usage
Characteristics of Blanket PO are:
For low value items For consumable material & services
Have validity period & value limit
Validity period instead of delivery dates
Invoice posting is done with respect to Blanket PO
Total invoice value must not exceed limit
Contain short text & no material /services code nos.
Item category used is B
PO Document type FO
No GR
No account assignment for individual item required at PO
Account assignment can be changed at IV
Price is at item line level.
This will solve your problem.

Non-Valuated Material - UNBW

Hi all,
        Our client has all non-valuated materials
    1. Do we require account determination.
    2. Can we do inital stock entry for non-valuated materials.
    3. Can we carry out physical inventory for non-valuated materials, if so what are the accounts triggered at the time of document posting.
    4. Can we have stock transfers.
Thanks
Syed.

Syed,
For all non-valuated materials you don't require account determination and you can do the inital stock entry for Qty Update and yes you can do the stock transfer.
Basically the Non Valuated material means it will update the Qty and it will not update the value.Thats a reason no accounting documents.

Manish

Costing error when using UNBW material

We are providing services to customer provided material (UNBW- non valuated). We would like to associate service charges e.g. machine charge/ resourse charge etc to the production charge. The only material used in this BOM /process is the unvaluated material. How do we set this up so the production costs can be associated with it. We are getting errors relative to costing.
Thanks
Raj

the finished material is Valuated. The system does not allow us to associate costing to this production order.

Material type--for non valuated

UNBW (Non-valuated) material type will not work for my project since it does not have sales views. I want any one to suggest<b> standard material type</b> that can be used for non-valuated that has sales view, purchasing, and classification.
my client don't want to add user departments(sales screens) for UNBW or copy it and make a customized one and add sales views to that.
which standard material type would have much similarities as that of a nonvaluated material type.
Please try to answer correctly..feel free to question if not understood.

Hi,I think your clint have known the UNBW (Non-valuated) material type is NO value in the stock,is also NO accounting view(and also NO classification).
What's your clint want to do for the standard material type that can be used for non-valuated?
I try the standard material type as below:
(1)if for the value and quantity NOT into stock in purchasing;
In PO:make a account assignment category so that assign a cost center for the consumpion
(2)if for the value NOT into stock in purchasing,but the quantity into stock;
In PO:deselect the Invoice receipt indicator(If the indicator is not set, the goods are to be delivered free of charge)
(3)if for the value NOT into stock in transporting,but the quantity into stock;
In MIGO select 511 as free-of-charge
(4)if for sale as free-of-charge;
there are two choice,one way for a sale order,or another way for a goods issues

Storage Location for NON valuated material in MIGO

Hi friends ,
I have created a purchase order for NON-Valuated material (UNBW) with Account Assignment "K".I did check the material type UNBW configuration where only Value Update is checked for my Plant.
Now at the time of MIGO , system is asking for Storage lcoation (mandatory) and after MIGO system also updates quantity in Storage Location entered in MIGO.
while in normal cases (like ROH material type) , if we create Account Assigned PO ( like K) , system neither ask for Storage lcoation at the time of MIGO , nor system updates Qty at any storage location.
As per my understanding , if we create Purchase Order with account assignment K , system updates value in consumption and doesn't update Qty in stock (although material is stockable) .....which is simply like immediately issue of material to cost center.
Therefore wondering why system is updating Qty for NON-VALUATED material.
Does non valuated material means , POST value to Cost center (for account assignment K) and Update Qty in stock ?
Like in case of Account Assignment , value gets charged to WBS and qty gets updated as special stock "project"
All replies are welcome .....
Regards
Shrey

By definition UNBW's are ony qty updating and have no value assoicated with them. Since the system needs to stock this qty somewhere it by deafult asks for a Sloc.

ram

Hi
in FI point of view the value posting are updated with respective GL,
u can view the stock. while creating GR system will genarate Accounting Documents.
this this will increase the inventory cost.
for doing the non-valuated material to valuated material the fillowing step to done.
1.Close all the open Purchasing documents and any other documents which is open.
2. Add the view accting1 , you have to assign the valuation class, selct the price indicator and the enter the price for it.
3. Activate the Qty/value activation on OMS2. Finalise the acct category reference you wish to have as it is to be assigned for the material type.
4. Configure all the the OBYC settings as per any other material which already goes through the same processes you wish your new material tyep has go thorugh. for example BSX,BSV,GBB etc........

Issue of Non Valuated Material

Hi Friends,
We have non valuated stockable material UNBW. We made material master, PO along with cost centre accordingly did GR. Value booked to consumption account & stock get updated. The material is issued to dept. / cost centre. How to do this in SAP, when I am trying with 201 mov. type, it is saying the field cost centre is mandatory. If we didn't do / issue we see the stocks.
If we want to reduce the stocks how to do ? In case that material want to destruct how to do ? I mean the movement type / t. code / process ?
We see the stocks but actually it has ben issued to cost centre how to do ? If we want to see the with whom the stocks are, I don't this is possible.
Does we need to make a new mov. type (copying 201) in which we say cost centre is not mandatory.
I have gone thru below links, but didn't get any answers.

241 in standard SAP is GI to asset and hence has the asset field mandatory. 291 is GI to account assignments - none of the account assignments is mandatory.
Sai Krishna, if you want to distinguish between the different reasons for goods issue, e.g. consumption, sampling scrapping, etc. Then you can either specify the corresponding G/L account (no posting to accounting will be done anyway, but you can make a report on the table MSEG and the account no.) or create reasons for movement for each purpose (IMG for MM > Inventory mgmt > Movement Types > Record Reason for Goods Movements).

Scrapping of material

Hi,
We have a requirement of scrapping the material from the services of an external vendor. The vendor will scrap the material and will charge for the services for the scrapping. The material has to be sent to the vendor for scrapping in SAP. The scrapped material will not taken back by the company. How can the above scenario will be mapped in SAP.
Thanks,
Mohit Sehgal

Hi,
1. MM01 - Create Scrap Material as Non-Valuated Material (UNBW Material Type)
2. MIGO - Goods Receipt > Others (Receive the quantities of Scrap material using Movement Type 552)
3. MIGO - Goods Issue > Others (Issue the quantities of Scrap material to Scrap Vendor using Movement Type 502)
4. MB90 - Take Print out of this Material Doc as Non-Returnable Gate Pass (U need to configure Message Determination of Inventory Mgmt)
Now follow the Service Process Cycle
1. ME21N - Create Service PO on Service Vendor for Scrapping Charges (With Item Category D and Account Assignment Category K )
2. ML81N - Create Service Entry Sheet w.r.t. Service PO
3. MIRO - LIV for Service Charges w.r.t. Service PO or Service Entry Sheet
