Post closing entry in Material Ledger

During running og Material ledger last night, in CKMLCP, we ran post closing entry before we release the cost through CKME. When I tried to release tcode CKME and CK40N, the system gave error message as below:
Price changes for material 200001 is not possible
Message no. C+811
Diagnosis
You want to change the price or release planned prices for material 200001 with valuation type in valuation area 2100. You have, however, already entered actual data or performed a single-level price determination in the period concerned. The status of the material in the period is Quantities and Values Entered.
Price determination indicator 3 assumes that the standard price remains constant throughout the period, so that all movements can be valuated preliminarily with the same standard price. Therefore, you can only change the standard price at the beginning of a period (i.e. as long as no actual data was entered).
System Response
The system does not allow the price changes or the release of planned prices for this material in this period.
Procedure for System Administration
In the future, to automatically release your planned prices upon creation of new actual data you can allow dynamic price release in Customizing for Actual Costing/Material Ledger.
How I can release my standard cost for period 01.05.2010 to 31.05.2010. Please help
Edited by: Ahmed EL Zain on May 1, 2010 10:49 AM

Hey,
What you described is the standard system behaviour.
The price change or release of a cost estimate should always be the
first transaction in a new period, when Material Ledger is active.
Once period status = 30, the standard price cannot be release or
changed. For more details please see note 190707.
The only possible workarounds are as below:
- postponing the costing release to next month
- reversing transactions and usage of note 574930
- using the option LTPC　from note 555176

Material Ledger - Error in closing entry

Hi Gurus,
We have an issue running the Post Closing entry of CKMLCP.
The system shows the error M8 147 (Account determination for entry & not possible) for one material, the only one pending material of the costing run.
We checked the material master and the problem was the valuation category. This was modified by the correct valuation category (with correct account determination in the OBYC) in the material master, but the system still shows the error message M8 147 refering the old valuation category.
Any suggestion???
Thanks in advance!!!!

Hi,
Thanks for the response.
The problem is that, for this material, the costing run shows now the correct valuation category ZE11 in the costing run result (but in pending status for the material), but the log shows the error message refering the old valuation category ZE09.
The obyc must not to be mantained because, for the valuation category ZE09, only operation PRY should be possible (this has the correct account determination), not operation PRV. The error refers old valuation category ZE09, operation PRV.
Thanks!

Material ledger period-end closing - material selection based period status

Dear SAP Experts,
The OSS note 980475 describes functionality of excluding materials without inventory and postings from the period-end closing of the material ledger. The system assigns a new period status for materials without inventory and postings (05 "Period opened without inventory"). This period status is set by the dynamic period-closing program for the new period (instead of "Period opened") if the material does not have any inventory.
Could you clarify what is dynamic period-closing program for the new period?
In my system this note is implemented but still during costing closing materials are being selected even though no postings have been done on them in that period and no inventory exists.
Thankk you very much for advise.
Best regards,
Robert

Hi Robert, have you find out what this dynamic period closing is?is this just the option Check and close period in TCode MMPV? or is het one the CKMLCP steps?
thanx in advance,
Said Dahmaza.

CKMLCP Material ledger closing

Hi,
We are doing closing entries for material ledter. After executing all the steps, when we are checking the detail of materials in VIEW of CKMLCP, it looks for some of the material the Closing entry doesn't took plance
All the other activities like WIP & consumption revalution are done, but for many of the materials the closing entry not processed by the system.
So if we are going to CKMI and then processing some of the materails it is performing the closing where as the materials which are of multileve nature for them the system is not processing. Do we need to uncheck the WIP & Consumption revaluation option and also what are the possibliities that system could not consider the materails for closing...
Regards.....
Shree J

Hi...
You can avoid this problem by changing Price control from 'S' to 'V' and Indicator from '3' to '2'. However you should know the business requirement. If moving average price is serve the material valuation you can change.

Hi Aktolga,
The mentioned error means that the material is relevant for Material Ledger but it does not exist in Material Ledger tables. It is
an inconsistency and should be repaired. This type of inconsistencies are repaired by Sap support, to repair it, you should create a oss message.

Material Ledger Closing Entry Missing

Dear Experts,
WE have implemented material ledger for Actual Costing. During the material ledger activities (CKMLCP)for the month of March, system showed an error message that "Clsoging entries are not posted for Previous Month" and proces of march was also terminated. AS the Material period for February and March are closed, the way out for closing of material ledger for the month of April without error (after posting the closing entries for March) may please be informed.
Thanking You
with regards
Muraleedharan MK

Hi MK,
ML is very rigid.. you have to complete the steps every month.. other wise ML documents have impact ...
You have to open previous period and get it done.. no way out..

Error in material ledger closing entry (message number KE396)

Hi friend
i met a problem in material ledger closing entry ,the message number is KE396
after checked some transaction data and master data ,i find that some one change the division in material master during the period and change back to the the old division during the period ,the division is one of the characteristic in copa ,System will check the derivation via material master when we run the material ledger closing,so it went error and said the Inconsistency between a document field and the prof. segment number
Then i use KE26 to repost the COPA line item ,but it also went error when i run the material ledger closing entry
can you tell me how to solve this issue
thanks

Hi,
Please raise an OSS message as this is a program error.
Momentarily you can try the following:
1. Do not select option "Set CO Account Assignment" in Post Closing.
2. If the above action does not resolve the error, then force close the material and then run the Post Closing. Surely this is not an ideal situation and must be adopted if there are only very few materials.

How to reverse material ledger closing entries beyond previous period?

In a test system, the system does not permit reverse material ledger closing entries. The current period is 04/2008.
Getting a message C+716 message
You want to cancel closing entries in valuation area XXXX for period 008 in fiscal year 2007.
You are allowed to cancel closing entries only in the previous period. Reversing closing entries for periods before the previous period is not possible.
There are provision to run closing entries like MUST_SETTLE in the ok code features, Are there,any such for reversal? Could there be any work-around?

Hi David
If you dont need to perform the close itself but would just like to get the periods in the correct status you can use the process outlined in note 645083.
In the material ledger, it may be necessary for different reasons to manually set the period status of materials in former periods to 70 ("Closing Entry Completed") without actually carrying out the closing entry.
It provides program Z_ML_SET_PP_STATUS_70 that will allow a manual update to the prior period status.
There is a pre-requisite regarding revaluation amounts, but this is all described in the notes.

Material Ledger Closing entries

Hi Group
I would like to know how SAP determines below text at the time of Material ledger closing. By example I could make it out but I want standard document or somewhere in system I can see how this determines.
EBPRD: Single-level pr. diff. beginning inventory
EBPRV: Multi-level pr. diff. beginning inventory
VNPRD: Offset against single-level price diff.
EBPRD: Write off single-level price differences
EBPRV: Write off multi-level price differences
VNPRV: Offset against multi-level price diff.
ZUPRV: Price differences from previous levels
Best regards,
Amit

Hey,
Can you let me know when did you do the ML startup?
At production start, the system automatically sets all materials to price determination control 2, which will not be included in ckmlcp processing.
And when you change the price determination from 2 to 3 via CKMM, the period status will be automatically changed to "new object", for which there's no need to do the period end closing.
Anyway, if your materials is with status 30 for the previous periods, the most convenient solution is to manually set it to 70 for the last period. You may achieve this via program MLHELP_SET_PP_STATUS_70. You only need to do it for the period before last period. Then you can go ahead with the normal period end closing process for the previous period.

Material Ledger Closing

Dear Gurus,
While material ledger closing using CMKLCP,i need clarification for the following process.
1. Single/level
2. Multilevel.
3. Revaluation of Consumption
4. WIP Calculation
5.Post closing
6. Price update.
can anyone explain about the above process outcome, what is the difference between material ledger WIP Calculation and Production order WIP Calculation.
While price update for price control material S, we need to re run cost estimate or it will update the new prices.
Appriciated for valuable inputs.
Ramesh.

Hi Ramesh .
Hope you understand clearly the purpose of standard costing and why we use Material Ledger .
Standard Costing is based on a pre-determined /derived prices for a period/year and all costs are caputed on the basis of the standard Cost . Goods Issues/Receipt , consumption all are at standard cost.
COGS GL Account is at standard and all the inventories are at standard ..
Difference between standard and actual costs are captured as variances in different GL Account . Mainly we have two variances... price variances ( at the time of purchases ) and usage variances at the time of production ..
Material Ledger is a seperate module.. where it calculates the actual costs . Variances are rolled back to the consumption accounts ( which is at standard ) to derive the actual cost . Actual Cost = Standard Cost + Variances .
1. Now Finished Material is made of Raw Material and Semi-Finished Goods . ...When we calculate the actual costs of finished product .. we can find out the actual costs of raw materials and semi-finished goods. ML will find out the actual cost of raw material , semi-finished goods and finished goods. This concept is know as multi-level determination ... In Single level.. only one level of material cost is computed as actual.. not rolled back to the lowest level.
2. Revaluation of consumption during ML run means .. the COGS ( which was at standard earlier) is now being revaluted and becomes actual..
3. WIP Calculation calculates the WIP costs on actual.
4. Post Closing Step will put the new GL entries.. where variances will be nullified and COGS and inventory will become actual.
5. Price Update is optional.. you can make the actual costs computed as standard cost for the next month..
Production Order WIp Calculation = Actual Qty X Standard Rate
ML WIP Calculation = Actual Qty x Actual Rate
Please revert back for any further clarifications

Sarada

Material Ledger - Closing Postings

Dear Material Ledger Experts,
I need to clear my concepts regarding Material Ledger Closing Postings :
Standard Price of Finished Goods : $10
Produced Units via Process Order: 1000 Units
Variance Settled to P&L Accounts : $1 Per Unit
P.G.I Units : (300 Units)
By the end of the month, I have executed end to end Material Ledger Closing Run and it updates all materials involved in the production of Finished Goods:
Date : 30.06.2014 (End of Month)
Raw Material Inventory : Increased.
Packing Material Inventory: Increased.
Revaluation of COGS of 300 Units : Increased.
Date : 01.07.2014 (Start of Next Month)
Raw Material Inventory : Decreased.(by the same amount)
Packing Material Inventory: Decreased.(by the same amount)
System updates Inventory held which is 700 units as well as inventory sold which is 300 units.
Now my cause of concern is regarding revaluation of COGS of 300 units sold on which already variances were calculated at the time of process order settlement:
Variance Settlement @ Process Order Settlement : 1$ X 300 Units.
Revaluation of COGS at month end : 1$ X 300 Units (again)
Which causes duplication of cost on P&L Accounts.
Please guide me regarding this issue and work around to solve this
Thanks in Advance !
Regards,
Zain Bashir

Dear Bulut,
At the time of variance settlement, following entries were posted :
Production Efficiency Variance (Dr) <P&L>
Inventory Change (Cr) <P&L>.
and at the time of COGS Revaluation, following entries were posted :
COGS (Dr) <P&L>
Material Ledger Clearing Account (Cr) <P&L>

Zain Bashir

Run CKMLCP (material ledger cockpit) for closed period in MMPV

Hi,
I would like to run CKMLCP for period 12.2008, however MMPV was run in 02.2009, and only january and fabruary 2009 are allowed for material postings.
How can I settle material ledger in 12.2008? I know about note 361236 (CKMLCP: No period-end closing operations after period shift), but don't know if this will do all the proper postings or only close 12.2008 technically.
Regards,
Karol

Hi Carol ,
Please remeber costing Run i.e CKLMCP is a closing activity so it should be done only at the time of closing a particular period .A syou said two periods are open for MM but costing also post some Accounting enteries if FI period is closed the its not possible.
And its not recommended to run costing any time in middle of the period.
Thanks
