OX14 - Valuation Level Configuration

Hi Gurus,
Standard SAP by default gives the Valuation Level at Plant. According to our business requirement we have to change the valuation Level to company code. But this change does not generate an automatic transport request. How Do I handle this? What ever I configure in this client has to be transported to rest other clients.

Define valuation level                                                                               
You define the valuation level by specifying the level at which material stocks are valuated. You can valuate material stocks at the following levels:                                                                       
     o  Plant level                                                                
        Valuation must be at this level in the following cases:                    
        -  If you want to use the application component Production Planning (PP) or Costing                                                         
        -  If your system is a SAP Retail system                                   
     o  Company code level                                                                               
The decision you make is valid for the whole client. You are recommended setting material valuation at plant level.                                                                               
Important                                                                               
Once set, it is not possible to switch the valuation level from plant to company code, or vice versa. If absolutely necessary to subsequently change the valuation level, contact your SAP consultant because a data conversion is required.                                                                               
Your choice of valuation level affects the following:                         
     o  Maintenance of material master records                                     
        Depending on the valuation level chosen, accounting data (in particular the valuation price) is maintained for each plant or for each company code in the material master record.                           
     o  G/L accounts in which material stocks are managed                          
        -  If material stocks are valuated at company code level, all plant stocks of a material are managed in a joint stock account for each company code.                                                           
        -  If material stocks are valuated at plant level, the material stocks for each plant can be managed in different accounts. You can define a separate account determination for each plant.                        
           If several plants are to use account determination, you can group them together in Customizing for Valuation and Account Assignment in the section Account Determination .                                  
     o  G/L accounts to which transactions are posted in Materials Management      
        (See under G/L accounts in which material stocks are managed.)

  • How to create a multi-level configuration sales order?

    Hi,
        My client use configurable material to sell computers. And the production mode is MTO. One sales order item correspond with a production order
        Now my client also sell array which consist of two computers, two storage, one UPS power etc. That means I must realize multi-level configuration. First, choose the computer type. Second, based on the choosed computer in first step, choose the cpu, disk and so on. And then based on the sales order item, there must be several production order related to the same sales order item.
        Now I have semi-finished product B1,B2--computer. Class type is 300. Many characteristics is allocated to the class. B type material has the BOM which consist of cpu,disk etc.
        Then I created the finished product A--array. Class type is 300. Allocated characteristics is the B1,B2. A has the BOM which consist of B1,B2 etc.
        When I create sales order, I can only config the first level,choose computers for A, can not choose cpu,disk for computers.
        So, how can I find a solution for this scenario?
        Thanks in advance.

    Thanks, Waza
    1.  Does the Sales order BOM explode in the sales order?
    No. Just one top item would be ok for my client.
    2. Why do thy want this in the sales order?  They can explode the BOM in the production order, do they then need pricing at the component level?
    They do not need pricing at the component level. Exploding the BOM in the production order is acceptable. But how can I config the configurable material in components of production order?
    I tried collective order, but the second level of configurable material can not generate production order. I just make use of special procurement 52 in MRP2 of top finished product. Is there something I missed?
    Thanks again.

  • Storage Location valuation level

    Hello all,
    We are using moving average price (MAP) at plant level valuation. We have several Storage Locations assigned to the same plant. We have several Client non-valuated goods-receipt at Storage location. That increases the quantity, but not the value. Therefore, of course those actions
    changes the MAP. We are not using batches or WM module.
    How can we not change the MAP without using batches? Is that possible to put a valuation level at storage location?  
    Can anyone help us to solve this problem?
    Thank you in advance very much!
    Best regards,
    Pedro Grabulho.

    No you do not have to change OU which is plants in your case.
    1. The procedure is to activate split valaution using OMW0(zero) t-code, which is active in your case, I guess.
    2. Define Global Valuation Type. You can define Storage locations here or it can be any thing else. Use T-code OMWC. (BTW, every time you add one storage location, you have to make appropriate changes here also, It is not like your storage location becomes valuation type)
    3. Define Global Valuation Categories.
    4. Attach Categories to OU. (OU can either be Plant or Company code, there is no 3rd option). You can atttach in one or more OU(plant)where you want it active. 3rd & 4th steps are in the same T-code OMCW.
    5. Using the MM01 now extend the material to the newly created Valuation Types. (Accounting 1 view)
    Thanks,

  • Ramifications of setting valuation level to company

    Hello,
    Our company is using an actual cost system in our current ERP system that works somewhat like the material ledger in SAP. However, one of our requirements is that we valuate COGS transactions for the month at the actual average material price across all plants. In our current system, we revaluate our inventory in such a way that the the total inventory value of each material in all plants remains unchanged, but the unit price of each material in each plant becomes the average price.
    It seems to us that the most obvious way of filling this requirement is to set the "valuation level" to the company code level, However, the documentation recommends against this and says that this will disable the built-in costing functionality. I could not find any details as to what specific functionality that this prevents.
    Can anyone tell me what the actual ramifications are for setting the valuation level to company?

    There is a feature of special procurement key which can be set for material in a given plant. This will refer another plant for fetching the material price. One manufacturing plant can calculate the price. This can be made the single plant that determine the material price. The other plants can have their material refering to the master plant through special procurement key.
    This way you can  address the consistency of material price across plants.
    When you have valuation at plant level, it gives more operating efficiency for period end closing, costing runs etc without diversified load on the system. With company code level of valuation, significant disadvantages include lack of flexibility. Additionally, SAP advises that you should define the valuation area at plant level if: you wish to use the application component PP or product costing and order costing, which is essential for managing production.

  • RAID Level Configuration Best Practices

    Hi Guys ,
       We are building new Virtual environment for SQL Server and have to define RAID level configuration for SQL Server setup.
    Please share your thoughts for RAID configuration for SQL data, log , temppdb, Backup files .
    Files  RAID Level 
    SQL Data File -->
    SQL Log Files-->
    Tempdb Data-->
    Tempdb log-->
    Backup files--> .
    Any other configuration best practices   are more then welcome .

    Thank you
    Please Mark As Answer if it is helpful. \\Aim To Inspire Rather to Teach A.Shah

    Hi,
    If you can shed some bucks you should go for RAID 10 for all files. Also as a best practice keeping database log and data files on different physical drive would give optimum performance. Tempdb can be placed with data file or on a different drive as per
    usage. Its always good to use dedicated drive for tempdb
    For memory setting.Please refer
    This link for setting max server memory
    You should monitor SQL server memory usage using below counters taken from
    this Link
    SQLServer:Buffer Manager--Buffer Cache hit ratio(BCHR): IIf your BCHR is high 90 to 100 Then it points to fact that You don't have memory pressure. Keep in mind that suppose somebody runs a query which request large amount of pages in that
    case momentarily BCHR might come down to 60 or 70 may be less but that does not means it is a memory pressure it means your query requires large memory and will take it. After that query completes you will see BCHR risiing again
    SQLServer:Buffer Manager--Page Life Expectancy(PLE): PLE shows for how long page remain in buffer pool. The longer it stays the better it is. Its common misconception to take 300 as a baseline for PLE.   But it is not,I read it from
    Jonathan Kehayias book( troubleshooting SQL Server) that this value was baseline when SQL Server was of 2000 version and max RAM one could see was from 4-6 G. Now with 200G or RAM coming into picture this value is not correct. He also gave the formula( tentative)
    how to calculate it. Take the base counter value of 300 presented by most resources, and then determine a multiple of this value based on the configured buffer cache size, which is the 'max server memory' sp_ configure option in SQL Server, divided by 4 GB.
      So, for a server with 32 GB allocated to the buffer pool, the PLE value should be at least (32/4)*300 = 2400. So far this has done good to me so I would recommend you to use it.  
    SQLServer:Buffer Manager--CheckpointPages/sec: Checkpoint pages /sec counter is important to know about memory pressure because if buffer cache is low then lots of new pages needs to be brought into and flushed out from buffer pool, 
    due to load checkpoint's work will increase and will start flushing out dirty pages very frequently. If this counter is high then your SQL Server buffer pool is not able to cope up with requests coming and we need to increase it by increasing buffer pool memory
    or by increasing physical RAM and then making adequate changes in Buffer pool size. Technically this value should be low if you are looking at line graph in perfmon this value should always touch base for stable system.  
    SQLServer:Buffer Manager--Freepages: This value should not be less you always want to see high value for it.  
    SQLServer:Memory Manager--Memory Grants Pending: If you see memory grants pending in buffer pool your server is facing SQL Server memory crunch and increasing memory would be a good idea. For memory grants please read this article:
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sqlqueryprocessing/archive/2010/02/16/understanding-sql-server-memory-grant.aspx
    SQLServer:memory Manager--Target Server Memory: This is amount of memory SQL Server is trying to acquire.
    SQLServer:memory Manager--Total Server memory This is current memory SQL Server has acquired.
    For other settings I would like you to discuss with vendor. Storage questions IMO should be directed to Vendor.

  • Infrastructure Audit Level configuration

    Hello,
    I''ve searched in MDS tables to found where is stored the configuration value of the SOA Infrastructure Audit Level, but I couln't find it, Can anyone tell me where is persisted this configuration?
    Thank in advance.

    Yes, in this tables are stored the audit details/data generated by the executed instances, but I'm asking for the configuration of this audit details, I want to know where are persisted this possibles values for the SOA Infrastructure audit level configuration property:
    Inherit     Inherits the audit level from infrastructure level.
    Off     No audit events (activity execution information) are persisted and no logging is performed; this can result in a slight performance boost for processing instances.
    Minimal     All events are logged; however, no audit details (variable content) are logged.
    Error     Logs only serious problems that require immediate attention from the administrator and are not caused by a bug in the product. Using this level can help performance.
    Production     All events are logged. The audit details for assign activities are not logged; the details for all other activities are logged.
    Development:     All events are logged; all audit details for all activities are logged.

  • Valuation Level Correction

    Hi All,
    One Company Code is valuated at Plant Level and the other Company Code at Company Code Level. Both belong to a Company (Group) in SAP.
    Could you let me know briefly the approach to take to get both Company Codes valuated at Company Code Level.

    Hi
    Is this the current set up in your client.
    As the config for valution level is either plant or Company code.
    This is a radio button , so if you switch on plant then company code is deactivated.
    you can find the Config under SPRO-> Enterprise Structure-> Definition-> Logistics - General-> Define valuation level
    Thanks & regards

  • Valuation level change

    Hello all
    We are at realization stage - having created some master test data (materials, BOMs and routings), as well as some test documents (POs, receptions and test financial documents), but valuation was wrongly set at company level, and we must change it to plant level.
    Can anyone please tell me the necessary steps to make this change? I have read in many places that it is possible, though difficult.
    Is it sufficient to archive all the created data before unassigning plants to society, or do we need to reverse all the movements before archiving? And does this even work?
    Are all customizations "in danger" or is it possible to maintain the already made customization?
    Thank you in advance
    APINTO

    Hey
    I feel u can change the valuation level before go live. After go live it is possible, but not advisible.
    First think to be ensured account determination settings.
    Valuation area and valuation grouping code settings.
    and OBYC and g/l account assignemnts.
    Then check with FI, before doing the change.

  • Valuation Level

    Hello,
    I was wondering, when you select company code as valuation area instead of plan level it is supposed to override all plan prices and just take those that the company register.
    But which are the effects ?
    For example:
    Lets say I purchase a row material for the first time with MAP activated and since company code level is activated no price will be registered ? Which means that I will have to first post the price at t-code MR21 in order for the sistem to recalculate each time there is a price change ?
    What happens to Standar price when company code level is activated ?
    Thanks very much.

  • Company valuation level

    Dear experts
    Is it possible to set valuation by company for IS Retail? Is there new version of IS Retail to support the company valuation level?
    Please advise.
    Hengki

    Hi,
    In SAP Retail, the valuation area must always correspond to a site.
    In retailing it is common practice to record the retail price of inventory (retail method). Since it is extremely time-consuming to determine all the costs associated with the procurement of an article without the use of modern IT systems, it is all the more difficult to determine the delivered cost of merchandise. In view of this, the delivered cost of an article is usually taken as an average price calculated on the basis of the retail value.
    (a) Valuating inventory at delivered prices (cost inventory method)
    You can only apply this method if you can ensure that all changes involving an article can be accurately recorded. What is known in the trade as the u201Ccost inventory methodu201D or the u201Ccost methodu201D involves valuating stocks at delivered prices and assigning costs to individual articles.
    (b) Valuating inventory at retail (retail inventory method)
    What is known in the trade as the u201Cretail inventory methodu201D or the u201Cretail methodu201D involves valuating stocks at retail, often aggregated at merchandise category or departmental level. Stock is updated at retail for every merchandise category and department. For balance sheet valuation purposes on the balance sheet key date, the delivered cost of the stock is worked out based on a gross margin between cost and retail.
    Both the cost method and the retail method can be used in SAP Retail.
    Bye and all the best,
    Muralidhara

  • Split valuation for configurable material

    Dear expert,
    Is it possible to create split valuation for configurable material type (KMAT). I have create split valuation. But when i create material with material type KMAT, the split valuation category can't filled/ edited. Why?

    Thanks Charlie..
    But, if i maintain semifinished product by batch. Means i have one material number with 2 batch which are sweet and sour. I managed the quantity using batch. Before, i think i used split valuation to managed the value of sweet and sour. If split valuation doesn't work for configurable material, how to manage the value of this 2 batch?

  • Configured material(Material Variants) with VC multi-level configuration

    Hi experts,
    I have a question about VC, VC can be a multi-level configuration, and it can be configuration level by level in sales order, this configurable material replace by a configured material(Material Variants ) . however I can only config the first level in Material Variants(MM02 MRP3; the configrable material is a multi-level)! how to solve it?
    If we can not multi level config the VC materil in the configured material, how can it replace the configurable material in sales order?
    Thanks
    lance

    Hi Lance,
    You can do straight away also without user exit .
    There is feature called Variant Matching in Variant configuration. If you can go throgh this and do the step by step configuration and in configuration profile setting you have to set Variant matching Indicator , then Make the Exclusion characterstics ,
    With all the steps , Once the Configurable material is configured in Sales order if it finds the variant matched with the existing variant in the system , then Config Material will be replaced by Material Variant as a line item in the sales order.
    Thanks

  • Define Valuation Level (Ref: Q4-8)

    Dear Sirs,
    The u201CValuation Levelu201D is defined either at u201CCompany Code Levelu201D or at u201CPlant Levelu201D. If the Client (Group) has more than one Company, must this option be applied for all Companies (Company Codes). For example, is it possible for Company A to select the Valuation Level defined at Company Code Level and Company B to select the Valuation Level defined at Plant Level ?
    Tks,
    KH Fong

    Hi Friend,
    In SAP R/3 system, there are two possible organizational level at which material is valuated:
    Plant.
    When stock is valuated at plant level, we can valuate a material in different plants at different prices. Valuation must be at this level in the following cases:
    If we want to use the application component Production Planning (PP) or Costing
    If our system is a SAP Retail system
    Company Code.
    When stock is valuated at company code level, the valuation price of a material is the same in all of a company's plants (that is, in a company code).
    SAP recommends that we set material valuation at Plant level.

    Important   
    Once set, it is not possible to switch the valuation level from
