PO - GR NON VALUATED ZERO AMOUNT

We have a PO that when replicated at the backend happens to be a NON-VALUATED GR as a result when someone do a confirmation a zero amount was beeing confirmed.
What field triggers the NON_VALUATED GR?
Thanks:)

The goods receipt non valuated is set on account assignment category level in the customizing in the R3 system (search on 'Account assignment category' and choose maintain account assignment category) . Goods receipt non valuated is normally used for account assignment category A -> Assets.

Invoice non deductible tax amount vs Purchase order

In the purchase order the tax amount is calculated item by item (ME21N). In the invoice (MIRO) when we select flag Calculate tax the system calculates the tax amount for the total of all the items. Because of this system behaviour in the invoice verification sometimes we obtain small differences.
These differences should not exist specially when we are using a non deductible tax that affects the material valuation with the goods receipt and has to be corrected in the moment of the invoice verification.
Why does the system have a different behaviour from the purchase order to the invoice?
What can be done?
Best regards

Dear Biju K
Whatever you mentioned about condition NAVS is there in system.
I am not adding tax code in PO, referring your earlier email I am asking that.
For adding other element I have not asked anything here, only to clarify your statement
You need to cross check why non-deductible tax amount needed in your PO with NAVS condition type and its purpose.
I explained this.
My question is simple that in one PO I am getting non-deductible tax but if I change vendor for the same material I am not getting non-deductible tax in condition tab ? I am not able to understand why its happened ? If one PO shows means there are chances that basic configuration is correct but may be somewhere something is wrong, I want to find out that. If you can throw some light on that its helpful for me.

Best Material Type for Handling Non-valuated Materials in Distribution

Our distribution business will soon be handling non-valuated material and I am trying to determine the best material type to use. I am considering material type UNBW but would like to know if anyone has advice. We are strictly providing a service to the vendor for handling these non-valuated materials (for example, wood products). We will not purchase or sell the product. Our service consists of receiving the product into inventory from the vendor, tracking the inventory, (in Warehouse Management) and then shipping the material to a customer of the vendor's choosing. For these non-valuating materials, we are paid strictly for our service of warehousing the material and shipping to a customer.
Up until now, our distribution business has distributed only valuated materials, i.e., materials we purchase at a price and sell at a price. We also use vendor consignment. NOTE: This is not a vendor consignment scenario because we never buy the product.
Here are our requirements:
- We don't own the non-valuated product.
- We need to be able to ship these new non-valuated products on the same shipments as the valuated product we own.
- We use handling unit and warehouse management for all of our finished goods.
- We would like to use our existing processes and HU/WM RF transactions to receive and pick the non-valuated product. This means:
1) Creating inbound deliveries and packing into HUs. And applying our HU bar code labels.
2) Physical inventory counts by HU.
3) Creating sales orders that have both the non-valuated materials and valuated materials we own.
4) Creating outbound deliveries and picking via transfer orders in WM.
5) Assigning the outbound deliveries to a shipment.
Questions:
1) Can a UNBW material that will be stocked but not valuated be received into inventory via a PO? Any way to receive into inventory with an inbound delivery without using a PO?
2) Are there any problems with putting a non-valuated material on a sales order with a zero price?
3) Any challenges that other have run into?
Thanks in advance.
Rob

I must be missing something regarding the use of material type UNBW. When I post the goods receipt for a PO with a UNBW material, no inventory is created. When I create the PO, an account assignment is required. I tried both a cost center account assignment (K) and balance sheet account assignment (Z - using a Profit Center). In both cases, I am forced to check the "Free item" checkbox to avoid entering a price; which also seems strange since the material is UNBW.
I have searched everywhere for a "Best Practice" for my scenario with little results. Again, we are simply managing the inventory for a vendor and shipping the inventory to our vendor's customers. So we are acting as a third pary warehouse and shipper for the vendor. We do not buy or sell the inventory - we are paid a monthly service fee by the vendor for warehousing their product and shipping it to their customers. We may ship the product on sales order deliiveries that include both the "non-valuated" product (i.e., free goods we manage for this vendor) and goods that we actually own.
As an alternative, I am wondering if I should look into somehow using vendor consignment with a settlement price (consignment info record price) of zero. Vendor consignment is nice because you can track the stock by vendor. However, we would never truly "settle" with the vendor because we would not be paying the vendor for the inventory and would never own it.
Our business refers to this as "reload business" but I am not sure this is an industry standard term.
Any other thoughts out there?

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.
Regards
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

Valuated Stock to move to Non Valuated Stock

Dear Gurus
I am looking into an issue from FI perspective and need your valuable inputs.
Business Case:
We have two plants (Plant A & Plant B). Customer would return expired stock to Plant A and these would be kept in Blocked Status as per QM guidelines. These stock are to be destroyed and transferred to Destruction Plant (Plant B) for doing the needful. However since we cannot use plant to plant transfer for block stock, we are left with using 506 & 505 movement type as the only solution for it. However finance would like to have no accounting impact for goods in transit since it has no real value. Hence it wants to writeoff the value (keeping quantitative details for MM intact) at Plant A itself and then trigger the stock movement. Since now the value is zero, it would not trigger accounting document.
We are working in following restrictions:
QA Guidelines suggests that we cannot move stock from Blocked to unrestricted just for this purpose
FI suggests that there shouldn't be by pass from norma standard sap transaction as 505 & 506 is not meant for this purpose
We need to find a way where we can convert selected stocks of a material code from valuated to non-valuated for this purpose.
Would be glad to provide any further clarification, should you so desire.
Appreciate your early response.

1) You can move blocked stock from one plant to the other if you don't use delivery for the STO
Stock tranfer order with block stock
2) If you want to move the goods via delivery from one plant to the other you first have to post the stock from blocked to unrestricted stock type. This is a must, technically.
I don't think the "QA guidline" should not allow this if you manage the process carefully - "QA guidline" should consider the real world and not prescribe something which is not possible or possible via development if you spend money on it.
3) Finance should also consider the reality. If the stock is valuated and you transfer it, it may have financial impact.
Would it be ok for finance to move valuated stock w/o financial impact?
If you want to have the expired goods in your supplying plant as non valuated, first you should set proper valuation type for them (if you use split valuation, you may have a valuation type like "EXPIRED" with 0 price) or you can do a material to material transfer (from the valuated material to a non valuated material). In my opinion split valuation is better since you won't loose the material number.
Of course, this will have FI impact in the supplying plant because you are making something of "no real value" from something of "real value".
If your stock is managed under the "EXPIRED" valuation type, I think you can move it to unrestricted because the valuation type itself clearly shows that the goods are of wrong quality.
The stock transfer should have no FI impact if the stock will be received as non valuated in receiving plant.
Just one idea.

Material Type without Costing View(non valuated) in Billing Document

We currently have a situation where we have Displays ( non valuated- no costing view material type) being added to regular Sales Orders
In our model, we are also updating product cost on materials when the 1) they were subs or finished goods and 2) via certain billing types.
Unfortunately, the other non valuated display material type is being called when the billing is occuring and is causing an error . See KE4j and KE4c in CO-PA config as a reference
My question- is there a way to further exclude a material type from being costed in PA when it is included in the billing
Thank you
Jeffrey Webber

Costing value zero can happen due to multiple reasons. Here are some of the things to be considered.
Did you check master data of material C to see if there are any costs for material C?
What are the valuation strategy for material valuation set up in the valuation variant? Is there any strategy that included price from purchase info record?
Is info record set up for material C in the new system that you are testing?
Did you check activity quantities in routing and activity rates set up in cost center for the period you are running standard costs?
Did you check the formula in the work center costing tab?
Thanks,
Ram

Non valuated PO, the Stat value in INTRASTAT

Helo all,
for our non-valuted PO (Acc *** cat. 1) in Intrastat the Stat value is zero. We need to have it calculated as there is a physical transfer. The same problem in consignment fiil up, I found out an OSS (317787 and 509325) correting it, but for non valuated I haven't found a solution.

Hello Kate,
Our goal is the user does not need to key in any GL account and cost center as it is FREE. which is why we have a customized material type solely for material like this (see my previous writing).
Does it means, I need to create an customized account assignment category with consumption posting using "V", and checked the Goods receipt checkbox, and checked the GR Non-Valuated checkbox ?
thanks.

Restrict issue of non valuated materials

dear experts,
Is there any way to restrict issue of non valuated materials against a production order.
Regards,
krishna mohan

sir ,
After discussing with u about the issue again i discussed with my pm and got the exact requirement,
what exactly he want is the price of the material is 0 zero , it should not be allowed to be issued against a production order.
please tell me if we can do with configuration which is the best way or else we have to use any exit.
if we use exit we will check in MBEW table and field verpr, if the verpr field value is 0 zero then we will not allow else we allow the material to be issued.

Non-valuated Goods Receipt

Hello Experts,
My client is using Special Purpose Ledger. While doing a Non Valuated Goods receipt we are not getting any Financial Postings and FI documents are generated at the time of IR, which is correct. But we are getting a single line spl posting at the time of GR.
So the question is when no FI document is getting generated for non valuated GR , why SPL document is getting generated?
Please share your experience if any of you has encountered such issues.
Regards,
Chandra

Hi Chandra,
FI-SL is - amongst others - meant for posting statistical entries using quantity values (see also: [Document Entry Directly in FI-SL|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/da/6ada3889432f48e10000000a114084/frameset.htm]).
Thus a SPL document is created for non-valuated goods receipts while FI documents can't be created without values unequal to zero.
I am still looking for a solution to disable the creation of those statistical SPL entries since we do not want them. Any idea, someone?
With best regards,
Duderama

Non valuated sales order stock explanation

Dear All,
Can anybody explain me Non valuated Sales order stock briefly.
I know some of the basics about this scenario but i would like to know more about this scenario.
appreciate your explanation.
Regards,
kishore.

With non-valued sales order stock you must also enable the sales order as a cost collector. All costs and revenues can then be assigned to the sales order. Goods movements for the finished good are performed and quantities tracked, however, the goods movement have no value and no financial impact.
For example, you manufacture a product and all the cost to manufacture the product are assigned to a production order. You do a goods receipt to record the produced quantity and the inventory quantity of the sale order stock is increased. In a valuated sales order environment, this transaction would debit inventory and credit expense. In the non-valued sales order environment, no financial posting is made and the costs remain on the production order.
When the goods are later sold, the quantity is removed from sales order stock, but again no finacial posting is made to account for the inventory since it is non-valued. The only financial posting would be to charge the revenue amount to the sales order with an offset to A/R. So at the end of these transactions all the cost and revenue are residing on the production and sales orders. You do have the option of settling those amounts to COPA.
thanks,

Non-valuated hours in CATS?

We want to capture hours of external consultants to projects, same time these should be non-valuated hours,
because the same cost with a certain time gap comes with an invoice.
How can we capture via CATS non-valuated hours of employees from consulting companies?
Would this hours information be any helpful to allocate invoice cost to project activities?
Thank you.

Not clear what you are looking for ? But, if you wanted to post time for person with valuated and not valuated hours than the same is possible via activity type. Say for the same person you maintain two activity type one is for the valuated and other is for the posting non-valuated time booking. ( for non-valuated activity type you have to give cost planning in KP26 as zero and for valuated acidity type you have to give your regular actual )
while entering in CAT2 for novaluated time booking you have to manually give the non-valuated activity type.
With Regards

Non valuated movement type

The finished products that are sold are received/returned back from the customer.
These returned goods from customers are basically for rechecking, testing, callibration.
once these activities are done, they are send back to the customer. These all are done free of cost.
It is not sales returned.
Since these goods still belongs to the customer so cannot be valuated in our plant.
We want to keep this goods in the plant with zero value.
how this can be done? can we create a movement type that is non valuated.
Currently when we in this material, system understands it as a sale return and show us the price.

In movement type 511, the transaction/event ket PRD and account modifier PRA is assigned. It means that the value flows to account assignment object.
I tried with mvt 511, by giving customer number, the system is asking for account determination of PRD and PRA for the valuation class, that I understand this since I have not done the OBYC for PRD of PRA.
Before doing these settings for PRD in OBYC for PRA, I want your opinion on this.
if i do these settings the value will effect my existing stock and some value will go into PRD account.
More over if you go to OMJJ, settings of movment type, in account grouping node you will find that for 511 mvt, the first line is having value update tick and the second row is having valuation and qty update tick in both the check boxes.
I think all movement types leads to either update of stock account or a consumption a.ccount.
451 is for blocked stock, this is not going to help us.
But this movement type can lead to PRD ( price difference)
please comment

No payment block with non-valuated GR?

Hello gurus,
in our system, tolerance key PP is maintained to automatically set a payment block for the invoice, if the amount in PO and invoice differs too much.
Unfortunatelly, the payment block is created for items with valuated GR only. For items with non-valuated GR, there is no error, no warning, no nothing.
Any ideas on this?
Thanks
Alicia

Hi,
but where is the sense in that? In my view, an invoice that differs greatly from the PO should be blocked, no matter how/if we post the GR.
Am I missing something here?

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

Account assignment for Non valuated Material

Dear All,
Please guide how to create PR & PO for non valuated material.
Regards,
Manish Jain

HI,
Non-valuated material (Material Type UNBW):
This type of material is managed on a quantity basis, but not on a value basis. This makes sense for materials of low value, stocks of which nevertheless have to be monitored (for example, operating manuals).
Non-valuated goods receipt
At the time of the goods receipt, postings to the consumption account do not take place. The posting to the GR/IR clearing account is therefore not applicable. With invoice receipt, the consumption account is debited with the invoice amount. The offsetting entry is posted to the vendor account.

Pardeep Malik
