Query on Material Ledger

Hi All,
Configuration settings:
1. Movement Type (MT) 201 is assigned to Movement Type Group(MTG) CC to revalue FI/CO accounts
2. MT 202 is not assigned to any MTG
Scenario:
1. Post MT 201 to cost center
2. Post MT 202 to cost center(reversal)
3. Run CKMLCP
4. MT201 revalued to cost center
5. MT202 not revalued to cost center > post to OBYC - Transaction COC
Since we need MT202 to revalue to cost center, we did the following:
6. Reverse the CKMLCP run
7. Change configuration > assign MT 202 to MTG CC
8. Run CKMLCP again
9. MT201 revalued to cost center
10. MT202 not revalued to cost center > post to OBYC - Transaction COC
Looks like if the posting done before the configuration, the settings for MT & MTG is not effective. Can anyone confirm whether faced the similar scenario before and what is the resolution for it?
We need to the "revaluation of consumption" in CKMLCP post to cost center for MT201 & MT202.

Hi Raj,
unfortunately your conclusion is right: The revaluation of consumption is dependent on the info that was collected during the month, when the actual material movements took place. When mvt 202 had no movement type group then, CKMLCP will not be able to revalue the cost of consumption for that. There is no possibility to adjust that after the fact, besides manual correction postings.
best regards,
Udo

Material ledger Conceptual doubt

Dear Guru's,
I have one doubt regarding Activate Actual costing.
What is importance of these below fields.
0              No activity update
1              Activity update not relevant to price determination
2              Activity update relevant to price determination
     If we select "1" what is impact, means whether we have to do month end process at cost center or material ledger. What are the dependencies for this.
or If we select "2", where we have to month end process. in material ledger means where we have to our month end process.
Please explain process. i have read help document. but i am confusing my self.
Thanks,
AK.

Hi Kumar,
You can refer below link related to your query.
Material ledger
Notes: (May be useful)
If you use Actual Costing, you can decide whether (in addition to material consumption) activity consumption on cost centers and process consumption of business processes that are required to produce a material should be updated in the quantity structure in the Actual Costing/Material Ledger.
Depending on which activation type is chosen
Actual consumption is updated in the quantity structure but not considered by price determination.
You can use this setting if you simply want information about the complete actual quantity structure. You can assign variances between the plan price of the cost center/activity type or process, and the actual price calculated at period end to the particular cost object at period-end closing using the function 'Revaluation at Actual Prices'.
Actual consumption is updated in the quantity structure and taken into account for the price determination.
If you choose this setting, the variances between the plan price and the actual price are adjusted subsequently. The cost center or the process is then credited and the material associated with the consumption is debited. In the context of multi-level price determination, these variances can be rolled up through the production structure up to the finished product in the same way that material price variances are rolled up.
If you choose this setting, you cannot use the function 'Revaluation at Actual Prices' at period closing in Cost Object Controlling, as the variances from the cost centers/processes are debited to the material direct. If you do use the function 'Revaluation at Actual Prices' at period closing, the cost centers/processes are credited twice and the materials are debited twice.

Parallel currency in company code require material ledger activation

Hello,
I have a requirement where the company is using parallel currency in NEWGL concept with two different currencies INR and USD.
I want to have a clarification whether I Need to activate Material ledger with parallel currency.
1. Company is using parallel currency with only one legal valuation view.
2. There is no requirement for product costing in the company.
Can the balance in general ledger can be seen in both currency for inventory balances.
Awaiting for your inputs
Thanks

If you don't need parallel currency at present, there's no need to configure it. Why should that be a problem, as long as your Business needs are not relevant to using a parallel currency?
I suspect your actual query is details regarding the future problems that you might face when, faced by changed Business scenarios, you are forced to introduce parallel currency at a future date
If my suspicion is correct, I suggest you look at SAP Note 39919. It's an old note - but one that I've found contains quite relevant tips and tricks about introducing parallel currency in a productive environment.
Remember to assign points if found useful.

WIP Cumulative value(Material Ledger)

Hi,
We have executed the material ledger acutal cost WIP Transaction Code -- COMLWIPDISP. This t.code is reflecting the WIP Cumulative value which is inclusion of WIP Price difference. Cany anybody let me know how this value is calculating and in which t.code. In which table or function module we can see the WIP price difference value and cumulative value.
Regards,
Shree J

Hi SJ,
The below example will help you to understand your query:
SFG product standard cost is 90 ( as per the BOM materials).
Production/Process order is created, released and Raw material are issued to this Production/Process order. The status of this Order is not yet changed to TECO/CNF due to there are still some more operations has to be carriedout. So assume at this stage total cost is 100.
When you run your month activities like WIP/Variance/Settlement Calculation and also CKMLCP (Actual Costing Run).
After the month end activities, if you execute COMLWIPDISP, system will display Cummulative WIP value as 100 and difference 10.
Thanks and Regards,

Material Ledger : Foreign Currencies

Hello CO Experts,
I am working on Material Ledger (ML) and seeking help from experts & SDN.
With the help of few replies on forum, I have understood that ML fulfills two basic objectives: The ability to carry material prices in multiple currencies/valuations, and actual costing.
My concerns :
1. Since multiple currecies (maximum 3), may I know which exchange rate type (M, B, G, etc) does ML relates, when displaying amount in different currencies in the material's master.
2. We have a customized / new exchange rate type "TH", as per exclusive request of the clients. Our clients have a query, if they can view ML amounts as per the rates updated OB52 in customized / new exchange rate type "TH".
Please help me to understand and an advice on my concerns.
Regards.
Hussein.

Hi Hussein,
For ML multiple currecny valuation, Exchange rate type is picked up from Controlling Area Settings. Check the path Controlling-> General Controlling -> Organization-> Maintain Versions-> - Version settings. Selct version 0-Plan/actual version. Choose Settings for each Fiscal Year. Check waht is maintained in exchange Rate Type? Is it M or TH?. If it is M, ML multiple currecny valuation picks values from OB08 for exchange rate type M.
Thanks & Regards,

Select query in materialized view with two dblinks

Hi All,
We have oracle 10g On windows.
We are trying to create materialized view. Scenario is we have base table on other database and we are creating mview on different database.
Basa database have two schema's and i am selecting records from that two schema's using two private db links.
But when i am tryin gto create mview its not getting created. After 15 hrs. its still showing creation command and not finished.
Query is :-
Is it good practice to have two db links in select query of materialized view.

If the former, you ideally want the local Oracle db to send the join to the remote database, and for the remote database to drive the join between those 2 tables. There is a hint (<i>driving_site</i>) that can be used - or the join query can be defined on the remote database as a view, and the local materialised view can then use that remote view.
If you have 2 different db links and joining across these - usually a bad idea to perform distributed database joins. There are lots of limitations as to how the tables can be joined. Worse case, full table scans of both remote tables, pulling all the rows from the 2 remote database tables to the local database, and joining these on the local database.
I have seen some severe performance issues in the past as a result of distributed joins. I'll rather use 2 materialised views for pulling both distributed tables's data locally, and then do the join on local data (using indexes, partition pruning, etc)Hi Billy,
My scenario is i have two database database A and database B. Database A is having two schema's SCOTT AND HR. SCOTT schema have select privileges on HR schema.
DB LINK is between Database B to Database A. name is db.link.B.A.oracle.com.
What if i priovide while creating materialized view, the schema name before the table name in database B for this particuler table so it will pick up the table from that schema using same DB LINK(db.link.B.A.oracle.com.) that i am using to fetch records from SCOTT schema.
Above schnario is like two base schema's and one db link using two schema.

Material ledger is not active in valuation area C002

Dear All,
I have a Scheduling Agreement for a material 'A' with Vendor 'V' with diff prices with validity dates, I did the GR & when i am posting the invoice thro' miro, system is throwing error as above Material ledger is not active in valuation area C002 Why should I activate the material ledger here ? Pls suggest how can i solve this ?
regds,
Kallu

Hi
For a Particular material, Material Ledger is active or not? Can be checked in Accountig view of Material Master.
Why we need Material Ledger?
A fundamental task of the material ledger is carrying inventories in multiple currencies and/or
valuations.
Material inventory values are normally carried by the SAP system in one currency. The material
ledger component enables the R/3 System to carry inventory values in two additional
currencies/valuations. Therefore, all goods movements in the material ledger are performed in up
to 3 currencies or valuations. Currency amounts are translated into foreign currencies at
historical exchange rates directly at the time of posting. Businesses such as those in highinflation
countries can therefore carry their inventories in a more stable currency (such as US
dollars). This reveals inflationary effects on inventory values.
If you use transfer prices to represent value flows in your company in different
valuation views, you must use the material ledger. This allows you to carry your
inventories in three different valuations (legal valuation, valuation for reporting
purposes, and profit center valuation).
Before activating the material ledger, make sure you know which currencies and valuations
you want to use, because you cannot go back and change the setting.
Activating the material ledger is a prerequisite for using multiple valuations.
Thanks
Raman

Material ledger is not active in valuation area S001

Dear All,
I have created a Scheduling Agreement & did the GR. When I am doing invoice posting system is throwing error as Material ledger is not active in valuation area S001
What might be wrong here ? For same material if I create PO then everything is working fine. Problem is only with SA.
regds,
CB

Hi,
Please check your Material Ledger Activation setting for the Valuation AreaC002 in T-code OMX1. The Check box for the ML activation against the Valuation Area-S001 may be ticked. After activation/ticking this box, T-code CKMSTART was not executed to complete the ML activation. If you want the activation of Material Ledger, you have to run T-code CKMSTART to complete this ML activation or Otherwise uncheck this box. I hope this step will resolve your issue.

General Ledger Special Ledger out of balance *URGENT* Material Ledger???

We've activated Material Ledger in a company code in Jan'07.
Accounting document created because of 102 Movement type FI document looks fine but in Special Ledger document dollars against Group currency are posted to Price Difference account? This is not happening for all 102movement type documents but i couldn't establish the pattern! Any help would be highly appreciated.
Some background:
Company code and Controlling Area both got USD as main currency.
This problem is sporadic and with 102 movement type only.
Materials causing issue got Price control 'S' and Price determination '2"

Hi Raghu,
Probably I am mistaken; I was talking about SPL field movements and user exits used there. you can check that through transaction GCB2 where ledger is assigned to a company code and then u can drill down to activity and field movement assigned to the activity and can find if a user exit is used to post to a price difference account.
Let me know if I am talking about relevant stuff here. If it is with SPL then I can help u more.
Thanks,
Kumar

GR/IR account problem with material ledger

Hi,
I just found an issue as effect of material ledger implementation.
after the material ledger is active, when we post a transaction in foreign currency (invoice receipt), the LC 2 amount of GR/IR account is somehow different from the document amount, and the difference is transferred into Material price difference account that we maintain in OBYC - PRD transaction.
because of this, the LC2 amount of GR/IR account can't be cleared.
any suggestion, please?
thanks,
Nasikhin

hi,
It will affect your valuation for the document, which are still open..
You shd run this only after closing all documents and completing whole MM cycle..
Once this is run, you can't go back and make settlements...
So, beware...

Material Ledger Unit Of Measurement different from Material Master

Dear Team,
In my client, there is a difference between unit visible in CKM3N and MM03. The base unit of measurement in MM03 is MT. Other than that, there are some other units maintained (not M3) in additional data tab in material master. In CKM3N, the visible unit is M3. M3 is not present anywhere in MM03.
Why would such unit flow in material ledger table? (CKMLPP has unit M3). Please advise.
One more observation is that when there is some price change document in Material Ledger, the proper UoM (MT) is being captured. Only in the basic price determination structure visible unit for each head is M3. Please check the attached screen shot.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Material Ledger - confirmation in different months

Hi Gurus,
I have a problem as follows:
We are using material ledger for actual costing. When we post partial confirmation for a production order in period t, goods receipt and goods issue is posted for period t. However, in some cases, confirmation is posted although one material has not arrived at the factory yet and that material is not assembled on the finished product in period t, but it is assembled in period t+1. In this case, when we close material ledger, we receive an error as "there are nondistributed rows" in transaction CKM3. How can I solve this problem either in logistics side or financial side?
Thanks and cheers,
Fatih Zenginer

Hi Faith,
Are you familiar with transaction CKMVFM - Value Flow Monitor? You can analyze Not Distributed differences with this transaction. The price limiter is the key.
Thanks,
Greg

Valuation area not yet productive with material ledger

While doing goods receipt at MB1C,i got the below error:
The description of the error is given below
Valuation area XXX2 not yet productive with material ledger
Message no. C+020
Diagnosis
The material ledger has been activated for the valuation area but material data has not yet been converted in this valuation area.
Procedure for System Administration
If you want to work with the material ledger, choose Accounting -> Controlling -> Actual Costing/Material Ledger -> Utilities -> Production Startup.
There you can convert the data for the material ledger by following the instructions in the online documentation.
Note
Setting the material ledger to productive cannot be undone.
See also:
Actual Costing/Material Ledger in the SAP Library.
The implementation guide for Actual Costing/Material Ledger.
Can you kindly suggest me how to fix this error.
Regards
Sabera

Hi Sabera,
The Valuation Area is not activated for your material ledger. Go to SAP Access>>Accounting>>Controlling>>product cost controlling>>Actual Costing>>environment>>Production Start up>>Set Valuation area as productive.
If you already activated Valution area in to Productive Statge.
Then go to T.Code OMX1 and for your valuation area XXX2 tick the ML activation box.
the error wont come

Material ledger Tables

Dear All,
Issue: Not able to post Good receipt due to the error that material does not exit.
Background: we have activated user exit in material master for material type ZROH and assigned a internal number range to it in MMNR. this user exit will append the material group mentioned during master creation in the internal code generated by system.
example PPMM is the material group and the internal code generated by system is 122222 so when we save the material in mm01 our material code is PPMM122222.
we are trying to do GR by 501 and now the material ledger function module is truncating PPMM from the material code and its trying to post document with 1222222. which then goes into error that material does not exist.
Analysis: I have checked in the MARA/MARC the material code is PPMM1222222. but i guess in some table whcih is relevant for material ledger system has stored internal material number 1222222.
So I am looking for tables or solution for this isssue

Hi Expert,
Please refer the SAP Standard Material Ledger Tables:
The following tables contain data that can appear in the material ledger documents:
Table - MLHD - Material Ledger Document: Header
Table - MLIT- Material Ledger Document: Items
Table - MLPP - Material Ledger Document: Posting Periods and Quantities
Table - MLPPF - Material Ledger Document: Field Groups (Posting Periods and Quantities)
Table - MLCR - Material Ledger Document: Currencies and Values
Table - MLCRF - Material Ledger Document: Field Groups (Currencies and Values)
Table - MLCRP - Material Ledger Document: Price Change (Currencies, Prices)
Table - MLMST - Material Ledger Document: Costing Run Header Data

Issue with Standard Cost estimates / Material Ledger

Background:
We have been using SAP for the last 5 years with Material Ledger active. Due to a number of reasons, we have not revised its standard cost estimates from 2001 till now. This means that at month end, we do not mark and release prices as recommended, nor do we mark prices and use dynamic release.
What Happened:
A new material called PFSW3 was made. This is a FERT. Before production
could start my team released the standard cost estimate for this material. Production was now able to proceed without problem. Then, when the time came to sell the material (VF02), SAP again raised the error 'cost estimate not found'. On checking the standard price in MM03, we discovered that the future cost estimate was missing. So we created and marked a new cost estimate in the middle of February 2007.
Problem:
When the first sale took place, SAP released the marked cost estimate and posted a Price Change document to adjust for the new standard cost. I understand this was due to dynamic release. Now, when month end came, the system settled all the production orders of material PFSW3 but did not do multi level costing on it.
Internal Investigation:
My team has determined that the material PFSW3 has price determination 2 set by mistake. All our other production materials (HALB and FERT) are
set to price determination 3 in the material master (accounting view).
Questions:
To sum this situation up,
we need to know why the material PFSW3 was not marked closed in its period status (CKM3) at the time of closing through CKMLCP?
What are the implications of not closing this material in Feb 2007 (current period status is showing 'Quantities and values entered')?
How can we close this material this month?
The future cost estimate is again missing for PFSW3 in March 2007 and I
fear we are going to face more problems as this material is sold to customers.
Please respond this is an urgent issue.

Dear Shumyl,
Please, have a look at Note 645083 - Material period status set to "Closing Entry Completed" that might help to closing your material in previous period.
Hope it will be useful.
Regards,
Flaviano.
