Parallel Accounting - Inventory Valuation

Hi Masters,
My leading ledger is IGGAP and non leading ledger IFRS. As per SAP whenver a posting is made to leading ledger, the same data will flow automatically to non leading ledger.
As per IGGAP, freight cost incurred in procuring the inventory shall be added with inventory. While, under IFRS, freight cost is an expenses and shall be charged to Income Statement.
I need your input on the above matter in parallel accounting situation.
Thanks in advance.

One more point!!!
I know that through specific ledger posting, we can account these scenarios. My question here is as per IGAAP frieght cost is added with inventory with both the ledgers updated.
Shall I reverse it in IFRS and post another entry by treating freight as expenses?. Cant we avoid reversal of first entry? Is there a way to stop the first entry in IFRS?
Can we achieve the purpose by creating Ledger Groups??
Please reply.

  • MM period / Year Closing Activity and inventory Valuation ??

    Hallow Experts !
    At the time of Period end, we close the Posting Period in Transaction Code - MMPV. So as a Result system opens Next posting period Automatically. (Please Correct if i am wrong). At a time two posting periods are open, Current and previous posting period.
    So, while this period close and open activity, The Material Stock valuation is carry forwarded from closing posting period to Opening period Automatically ?
    I want to understand the System logic for this inventory valuation carry forward in brief.
    Also please explain in brief, Year end activities by Materials Management side for material Valuation ???????
    Thanks in Advance !!

    Hi,
    Before closing a period, you must ensure that all the transactions related to are posted( Examples: GR,IR etc…).Once you close the period in MM side, its difficult to post again in that closed period. For more read the SAP notes 487381.
    You can check which period is open in MMRV( you can set here back posting allowed or not) and close the period in MMPV.
    Initiation of period can be done in MMPI (1st time only) and setting of MM period can be done in OMSY.
    Inventory valuation & automatic account posting depends on following T.codes and where is your material valuated (plant level or in co.code level)
    1.OMSK: Valuation Class with Account category reference,
    2.OMWM: Active Valuation Grouping Code,
    3.OMWN: Active Movement type with G/L account,
    4.OMWD: Active Valuation Area,
    5.OMWB: Active Chart of account,Valuation Grouping Code,Account Grouping Code, Valuation Class and G/L acocounts

  • Material document line item - inventory valuation affected ?

    Hello
    In the framework of building a stock report, I'm trying to know if a material document line item has affected inventory valuation that is to say if a corresponding accounting document line item has been posted.
    Explored solutions :
    - there is no link between MSEG and BSEG
    - I tried to look at Quantity string (BUSTM) in MSEG and looked at Quantity strings parameters in T156M but couldn't find a parameter of the value string mentionning if it affects inventory valuation or not
    Thanks a lot in advance for your inputs
    Regards

    Hi,
    MKPF is for material document header table MSEG is for material document item table
    Creation date will be at the header table, use document number to link both the tables.

  • Comparison parallel ledger app. with parallel account app. in terms of IFRS

    Hİ ALL,
    we would like to know what is the advantages of using parallel ledger approach for transition to IFRS in SAP instead of using parallel account approach?
    thanks in advance

    Hi,
    Currently I am making a similar review - account based versus parallel ledger. The pro's of the of parallel ledger are the con's of account based and vice versa:
    Parallel ledger - Pros
    - G/L accounts: fewer G/L accounts required (so opportunity to reduce SCOA), same G/L accounts are shared across all ledgers - unified reporting
    - Fiscal year variant: company codes with different fiscal year variants assigned to a separate ledger, facilitating consolidated reporting
    - Posting period variant: postings to ledgers can be separately controlled by assigning a separate posting period variant for the ledger
    - Carry forward: no need to maintain separate retained earnings accounts per accounting principle
    - Currency valuations and translations: Automated postings updated to appropriate ledgers based on the assignment to relevant accounting principles
    - Adjustment and value postings: Adjustment and value postings, such as reclassification are automatically posted to the appropriate ledgers
    - Standard reports: standard reports are executed by ledger
    Parallel ledger - Cons
    - The data volume could increase as a result ofmaintaining parallel ledgers (see SAP note 820495 for tips on resolving the issue)
    - Parallel ledger is a new concept at my customer so it requires a complete revamp of system configuation, with all the impact on processes and people, all old local reports (using special ledger) will become obsolete.
    Hope this helps. By the way: we have chosen to move from account-based to parallel ledger despite the implementation effort.

  • FIFO Inventory valuation without Balance Sheet Valuation

    Our business wants to know if they can have real-time FIFO inventory valuation;
    At a give point, When we perform and update the material prices through the Balance sheet Valuation - FIFO procedure; system automatically revaluates the inventory at FIFO with offsetting to an expense account.
    However, the requirement is to have FIFO real time without performing any month end tasks/ postings to calculate and update the material prices.
    Given that the existing material price controls (S and V); Is the above possible ?
    With Material Ledger; some of the standard functionalities can be leveraged i,e to have one valuation for std/ actual and the other to have FIFO valuation but the business thinks this is too much of an effort to maintain this functionality. Since, even for this option - the business has to run month end jobs.
    Thanks !

    Hi
    Real time FIFO valuatopn is some thing which would require ML...
    however, there are companies who valuated the inventory based on FIFO at period end w/o any use of ML...
    I am not very sure as I have never used it - But using MRN9 you can have a comparison of inventory values as per the 2 principles and if you tick "Update Database", it would post to the books....
    Please await further replies from the forum members on this...

  • Parallel Account SAP Document

    Dear Sir,
    Can you please forward me any SAP document showing how to configure Parallel Accounting in SAP. We are using SAP ECC6 without activating NEW GL module.
    What is the difference in "Complete Posting and Difference Posting" in context of parallel accounting.
    Can you please clarify whether we need to activate NEW GL for using Parallel Accounting or the parallel accounting can be used without activating NEW GL module.
    Thanks in Advance.

    Hi,
    Complete Postings versus Difference Postings
    Postings that differ depending on the accounting principle applied can be posted either as a difference posting for the posting in the general ledger (as a delta posting) or as a complete posting. Only the application component Asset Accounting (FI-AA) supports delta postings.
    SAP recommends implementing the delta method for postings from Asset Accounting because, for complete postings, you have to subsequently filter out the valuations of valuation area 01 from the additional ledger
    In the new General Ledger, you can display the parallel accounting using parallel accounts (as in R/3) or using parallel ledgers. The FI standard functions and reports are available for all parallel ledgers.

  • Inventory Valuation by FIFO method.

    Hi All,
         We need to know if it is possible to get any report where in we can know what would the inventory valuation be if inventory is to be valued by FIFO method. Currently the valuation method is moving average. We need this for year end purpose only. We do not want to post any entries or change the existing valuation of the inventory for any of the items. We only need a simulation report for Inventory valuation by FIFO method. Is there any way we can get such a report??
    Thanks,
    Pritesh.

    Hi,
         Thanks for the quick reply. I have configured FIFO valuation method and tried on the test server. I have the following 2 questions in it:
    1) When executing MRF1, there is an error while creating the Batch Input session.
        bdc_close_group, session not opened
          message no. 00330
    2) If the session does get created, as per my understanding if the session is processed, system executes the Tcode MR22 in background and postings take place as
    Inventory account    -    DR
    Revaluation account  -  CR.
       My doubt is that, will this change the existing valuation of the Inventory ? We do not want to change the existing valuation.
    Thanks,
    Pritesh.

  • ** Balance sheet at Profit center with Inventory valuation at CoCd level **

    Scenario:
    Inventory valuation is at CoCd level. Moving Average costing.
    There are 2 plants in CoCd 3000.
    1.     I created material 1234 in plant P1 (profit ctr P1) & in plant P2 (profit ctr P2)
    2.     Then, I received a PO - $1000 (100 qty @ $10) in plant P1 & $1100 (100 qty @ $11) in plant P2
    3.     So the Moving average at CoCd is $10.50
    4.     I created a Sales order to ship out 100 qty from plant P1. The PGI posted at moving average at CoCd level i.e.
            Dr COGS $1050
            Cr Inventory $1050
    5.     Now, Inventory GL account value becomes -ve 50 at plant P1 
    6.     MB52 looks wrong as below. It doesnu2019t show -50 in P1 & 1100 in P2
    Question:
    Is there any standard way to accomplish Balance sheets at Profit center with Inventory valuation at CoCd level? 
    - We can do custom development to distribute Inventory balance on profit centers upon receipts or Invoice receipts (i.e. anything that updates the Moving Avg at CoCd) eg in step 2, when $1100 (100 qty @ $11) in plant P2 is received, then post +500 to inventory in P1 & -500 in P2, to make both P1 & P2 at 1050.
    However, this would be huge effort on Development, Testing & ongoing maintenance.
    - Another custom way would be to post to Profit centers a periodic entry to correct Inventory balance to (Qty on hand x Moving Avg at CoCd)
    Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks.

    Hi,
    I don't think so it's happen at valuation at Company code level.
    Inventory Valuation always at plant level only not at Profit center and company code level.
    In your case 2 Plants and 2 Profit centers. There is no chance to different the value at Profit center . Check once in Dev. server with example.

  • STO Inventory Valuation

    Hi Gurus,
    I have doubt in inventory valuation when STO is done :
    1. We create STO in ME21N.
    2. We do Post goods Issue in VL02n
    3. Now in ME22N for this STO system under purchase order history for mvmt type 641 system shows the inventory value posted.
    4. When Goods Receipt is done at desitnation location through mvmt type 101 system doesnt show any value against this document
    In this case how is the inventory value transferred from one plant to other plant within system.  Is there any configuration required for this & what has to be done.

    Hi
    If you process STO bet.plants belong to same company code...then the material will be issued at supplying plant by 641 movement type.... and you have to do GR at receiving plant by useing movement type 101.
    Since all the accountings,P&L accounts and all maintained at company code level....all the accounting documents all created at supplying Plant...ie) Stock Acc.of Supplying Plant is Credited....and Stock acc. of Receiving plant id Debited....and if you maintain Std.Price at Receiving Plant & is ther any Price diff.bet. Supplying plant and receiving Plant, then the Price diff will go to Price Diff. acc( TEK is UMB).
    Reward if useful

  • Split GR/IR accounts by Valuation Class (PO without material master)

    Hi Experts,
    I've an issue here, when I'm tried to do GR posting (PO without material master), system doesnt able to post GRIR account by valuation class.
    Scenario: PO issue without masterial number, enter description and with material group.
    In the configuration, I've configure "Entry aids for item without material master", assign material group "Asset" and material group "Services" into 2 different clearing account. However, when GR posting, system prompt error message and not able to do posting.
    Kindly advice.

    Yes , you can post to different GR/IR accounts based on the valuation class . In OBYC for WRX , you can choose your rules . In the Rules , select valuation class . Then the system will allow you to choose different GR/IR accounts for each valuation class .
    During the GR , the system will pick the corresponding GR/IR account based on the material grp valuation class .

    Hari.

  • Free Goods - FI & Inventory valuation Impact

    Dear All,
    I would like to know what will be the FI & Inventory valuation impacts in the below 2 cases
    1.  When free goods indicator is flagged for an item in PO.
    2. When free goods indicator is not flagged, but GR-IV and Invoice receipt indicator is unchecked.
    I understand what free goods are, but what i need to know is, how will the inventory be valued in both the cases & what will be the FI impact.
    I hope my question is clear, await inputs.
    Regards,
    Vivek

    Hi,
    First of all, if you activate "Free" indicator then "GR based IV" and "Invoice Receipt" indicators get deactivated automatically or when you deactivate "Invoice Receipt" indicator then "Free" indicator gets activated automatically. It's viceversa.
    Now It depends upon the Price Control you have maintained in the material master.
    Once you activate "Free" item indicator OR deactivate "Invoice Receipt" indicator in PO then at the time of GR if;
    Price Control is "V" (MAP)
    Goods Receipt happens on zero value and inturn reduces the MAP of the material which affects the material valuation. And No FI Entry will get generated.
    For e.g. Current Stock of Material = 100 KG and MAP = 110 INR so Material Value = 11000 INR
    After GR of 10 KG on FOC basis, Current Stock of Material = 110 KG, Material Value = 11000 INR so MAP = 100 INR
    Price Control "S" (Standard Price)
    After GR, there is not any effect on the Standard price of the material or material valuation.
    For e.g. Current Stock of Material = 100 KG and SP = 110 INR so Material Value = 11000 INR
    After GR of 10 KG on FOC basis, Current Stock of Material = 110 KG, Material Value = 11000 INR and SP = 110 INR
    Here At the time of GR following A/c entry get generated;
    Price Difference A/c - Dr - 1100 INR
    GR/IR Clearing A/c - Cr - 1100 INR

    Yes, this is a precondition , if a particular posting needs to be made to non -leading leadger , then accounts should be managed as not open items .
    In case if the accounts is managed as open items then posting happens to all the ledgers.
