Raw materials on MAP with split valuation used in standard cost estimate

We have a few raw materials which are purchased from different vendors and of different brands. We have opened split valuations for these raw materials. These raw materials are later used in manufacture of different finished goods. We use MAP for raw materials and Std. for finished goods. What configuration and processing steps will be required to run standards cost estimate and what will be standard price for a finished good considering the following example:
Material X is finished good
Raw Material A with split valuation @ USD 5 (brand aplha) & USD 10 (brand beta)
Raw Material B without split valuation @ USD 1
It is expected that we used brand aplha 60% of the time and brand beta 40% of the time and production batch size is usually 100 Kg.
Please reply

hi chris
Hope you have configured the material A for split valuation. while calculating standard cost estimate for the material C. through ck11n, the system will pick up the header price from material master.
But here you are saying that you have chances of using the material A, 60% of brand alpha and 40% brand beta
Instead of using split valuation use mixed costing concept. create the material A with separate Ids and create two boms one with alpha and the other with beta.
create procurement alternative in CK91N and mixed ratio with Ck94 and release the mixed cost estimate
please go through this thread also

Automatic STO for materials with split valuation

Hey Gurus,
Our client uses plant-to-plant STO to do transfers among internal plants. The current process: Run MRP in receiving plants --> MRP generates PReq --> Release PReq --> Assign Preq and create STO(from here, buyers manually check stock at issuing plant to see if there are "New" or "Rebuild" stock available, Rebuild stock always take the priority. Buyers manually assign Rebuild or New to ME21N).
The client tries to automate the STO process, ie, using ME59 or ME59N instead of ME21N. The problem is how the system does stock check and automatically enters"Rebuild" or "New" for materials with Split Valuation, which are done by buyers manually?
Thanks
JM

Hello,
Your client's request can be met with an user exit i guess. I have not used this but this is a suggestion that you can try if you wish.
The following things need to be done.
1. New PR type needs to be created and assinged to the STO document type.
2. When running a MRP at receiving plant, the system uses the special procurement key to create the STO requisition, hence we can write the relevant code in user exit in the MRP program. (please find the user exit for MD01)
3. If the special procurement key is 40 in the material master (MRP view), then system has to create the PR using the new PR type for STO. Also for those PRs the default batch should be "Rebuilt" entered while creating the PR.
4. As the batch is already entered in the PR, converting them to PO automatically will not be an issue.
if you feel that the above solution is little tough to implement, then please write a program to fetch the STO PRs and update the PRs one by one using the BAPI PR update or BDC with the batch "Rebuilt". This program you can ask the users to run before using ME59.

Sakthi

High volume of batches with Split valuation - impact on system performance

Hi!
I have a client that is intending to load a new material type from their legacy system which will be automatically batch managed with split valuation. So, Valuation category will be 'x' and the valuation type will also be the batch number as automatically created on GR.
The concern of the client is the impact on system performance. Having up to 80,000 batches per material master record (so, 80,000 valuation types will be mainatined with a unique price in the Accounting 1 tab of the MMR) and overall around 1 million batches a year. I'm not aware of any system performance issues around this myself but there seems to be anecdotal evidence that SAP has advised against using this functionality with high volumes of batches.
Could you please let me know of any potential problems I might encounter, having 1 million batches with split valuation may cause? Logically, this would increase to tens of millions of batches over time until archived off via SARA.
Many thanks!
Anthony

I currently have about 1.5 million batches with split valuation in my system (but it is not the X split), and we archive yearly.
having many batches for one material ( lets say 1000) causes dramatic performace issues during automatic batch determination.
it took about 5 minutes until a batch was returned into a delivery. if the user then wants a different batch and has to carry out batch determination again, then he just works for 10 to 15 minutes on one delivery.
This is mainly caused by the storage location segment of the batches. if one batch gets movedd within a plant thru 3 different locations, then the batch has 3 records in table MCHB. But SAP has a report to reorganize the MCHB table that have zero stock.
The X split has more effect, it is not only the batch table that makes issues in this case. With the x-split SAP adds an MBEW record (material master valuation view) for each new batch.
However, if the design is made to get a certain functionality (here valution at batch level), then you have to get a proper hardware in place that can give you the performance that is needed.

Valuation Type Wise Standard Cost

Hi SAP Experts,
I can not update the valuation type wise standard cost. It is going updated only at the Header level in the material master.
We have activated the batch valuatin and also the split valuation for materials.
At the header level in the material master there is a varialble price control and at the lower level we have defiend the valuation type with the standard price control. But when i am running the standard cost system update the cost only at the header level in the material master and not at the lower level.
Can any one help on this issue?
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Trushit

Hi thank you for your answer.But if we maintain the valuation type default in split valuation then for all materials valuation types becomes mandatroy field, if we are going to open the batch but there may be the cases where batch is only going to be opend but not the valuation type.

Trushit

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.

Can we use two costing variants for standards cost estimate release.

Hi,
We have 2 plants (plant 5100 and plant 5200) under company code 5000.
We have run standard cost estimate(CK11N) for material 98001000027 at plant 5100 using costing variant ZG01 and at plant 5200 using costing variant ZG02. First, we released standard cost estimate (CK24) for this materia at plant 5100 and set (in marking allowance) costing variant ZG01 and costing version 01. Next time when we are trying to release the standard cost estimate for the same material for plant 5200, it is automatically picking ZG01 as costing variant in marking allowance and it is not allowing to change the costing variant to ZG02 saying Company code 5000: Release already carried out, cancellation not possible, Message no. CK797.
Is it possible to use two different costing variants for release of standard cost estimate for a material at two different plants at the same company code? If so how?
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Bijay

Hi,
Thanks for your reply again.
What is the benefit of assigning "Single Valuation Variant same to different Plants" ? In costing variant also we can assign maximum only one valuation variant and this valuation variant will default for all the plants, and hence I dont think it is necessary to assign same valuation variant to different plants.
My issue is :
Example: ( Standard Cost Estimate for material 98001000027)
Plant - 1
Material Cost                                             Rs.100
Labour Cost                                               Rs.50
Overheads (10% of Labour Cost)                  Rs.5
(say ,through costing sheet - 1)
Total Standard Cost Estimate                      Rs.155
Plant - 2
Material Cost                                             Rs.150
Labour Cost                                               Rs.100
Overheads (20% of Labour Cost)                  Rs.20
(say, through costing sheet - 2)
Total Standard Cost Estimate                      Rs.270
Now, Please explain why we cannot have two Standard Cost Estimates for a material at two different plants? If it is possible to have two standard cost estimates for a material at two different plants, how to take care of overheads (rate of which varies) at two different plants (plant - 1 > 10% and plant- 2>20%) as we can assign maximum one costing sheet to a valuation variant variant?
How to map the system so as to meet the above requirement?
Thanks,
Bijay

Can we use two costing variant for standard cost estimate

Hi,
Can we use two costing variant for standard cost estimate of two different materials in the same period ? e.g. Costing variant Z001 for Material code 1000 and Costing Variant Z002 for Material code 2000.
Here the system is not allowing to change the costing variant in Marking Allowance (t code CK24) for marking and release of Material cost 2000 if the standard cost for Material code 1000 is already marked and released.
Thanks,
Bijay

For a material in a period only one price can be released. Though you cn have two separate costing variants and then calculate standard estimate with that. U can release based on one variant only for a month. Or use MR21 and update the price as per the other variant
Thanks and Regards

Problem with rounding in standard cost estimate.

Hi All,
Happy 4th of July!
I have a problem with the standard cost estimate where the system try to calculate overhead costs (from costing sheet) with a fix percentage (9.7%) to the value coming from material consumption costs element.
Let say I have $1.71 material consumption and the overhead rate of 9.7%
The real calculation should be (1.71*0.097) = $0.16587
But at CK11N screen, it shows only $0.16 (two decimal rounding)
Is there a way that I can bump the rounding to at least 3 decimal point to make it more accurate?
Very appreciate any input you guys can share. Thank you.
Charitha

Hi Chari ,
My experience says that you can use only 2 decimals ..
Moreover , please have a look into SAP Note : 639410 - CK11N, CK13N: Message CK869 due to rounding
differences.
There a some source code corrections also on rounding differences- check if it helps you also...

Backflush with Prel cost estimate still considering standard cost estimate

Hi,
Trying to do back flush with Prel cost estimate . Flagged in REM profile " Post Activities " / Using Data from Preliminary Costing".
However, FG rate is considred as per standard cost estimate and not as per preliminary cost estimate.
Kindly advise whether any other specific setting is needed.

Canu00B4t use two step transfer with split valuation ?

Hi people , i´ve activated split valuation for MaterialX , it has two Valuation types ( Production and Purchase ) . The problem arose when i tried to do a two step transfer between plants ( mov 303 ) and i got the following error msg :
Use one-step procedure for transfer posting to mat. subj. to valuation
Message no. M7048
Diagnosis
In the receiving plant, the material is subject to split valuation. For this material, a stock transfer cannot be carried out using the two-step procedure.
Procedure
Use the one-step procedure (movement type 301) or a stock transfer order for the stock transfer.
The message is very clear itself , but... i just wonder if there`s actually any way to avoid this, considering that having to create a transfer order for each movement will duplicate work and using a one step transfer won´t be practical. I tried to change the error msg into a warning but couldn´t find it in customizing. Thanks for any comments on this !

First of all , thanks everyone for the help.
Csaba Szommer, Kunal ingale , i read the OSS note and the pdf and indeed everything confirms it´s not possible to do the two step movement. So , i tried the stock transport order and something else appeared here. When creating this type of order , the system first ask for a Supplying Plant , then you can populate the material , quantity and the destination plant. But then it asks for the Valuation Type of the material involved, and it seems this field is Mandatory . Is it possible to make this field on the transport order as optional ? I couldn´t find this field at SPRO-MM-Purchasing-Purchase Order-Define Screen Layout at Document Level .
I need this field to be optional for the following reason. In my company there´s a relation between two plants , Plant A ( from where products are dispatched to the customer ) and Plant B ( where the material is produced with valuation type "Production" and sometimes is buyed from vendors with valuation type "Purchase" ) . The idea is to run an MRP which will generate the material needs on Plant A considering the Sales Orders. This need will be then transformed (automatically by MRP ) in Stock Transport Orders with Supplying Plant "Plant B" and receiving "Plant A". The problem here is that , at the moment of the transport order creation it´s no possible to know which will be the valuation type of the material that will satisfy the need. I mean , Plant B ( production and buying plant ) will check the list of needs for Plant A and then will decide which material ( with which Valuation Type ) they will provide considering the actual stock levels at the time of the MRP run.
In a few words, i see the only way to do a two step transfer of a split valuated material is using Stock Transport Orders , is there a way to make the field "Valuation Type" optional ?. The idea would be to choose the Valuation Type of the material at the moment of the Good Issue. Thanks a lot , once again.

Material Ledger with Split Valuation Type 'X' with FIFO

Hi,
The requirement from the customer is to have Raw Material, Intermediary and Finished Products valued at Actuals and on a FIFO basis. According to me, this is possible only if we activate Material Ledger, have batch split valuation u2018Xu2019 as the valuation type and have a batch search strategy which does a FIFO. Are there any technical issues with this solution? Or is there a better solution? Is any organisation ever using this solution for a similar requirement? As an extension of this requirement, how does commodity trading companies running in SAP handle their inventory and COGS valuation?
Thanks and Regards
Shivram.

Hi,
Using Material Ledger with batch management and split valuation of each batch ("X") leads to most aaccurate FIFO valuation result, however, depending on how many material and batch the customer has, huge number of materials will be processed and it will affect the performance issues. You should check the number and expected period-end time frame scheduling at least.
Financial responsible tell you to need this kind of solution (detailed FIFO calculation)?
They usualy needs to get simple FIFO valuation, meaning they don't care each individual logistic material movement as FIFO, but only care of periodic FIFO. I know, it depends on Finacial responsibes or their auditors, so it's also not general.
Please double-check the new FIFO valuation function for Material Ledger with using Periodic Closing and AVR. Some information is in SAP Note 1431829 and 1247053. Related transactions are there, CKLMBB_xxxx under Actual Costing/Material Ledger -> Balance Sheet Valuation Procedures. I couldn't find any official documents for Material Ledger + FIFO valuation (like Release Notes).
Hope this will be an additional option to yours.
Best regards, Takashi

GR for a STO with SD delivery and Batches with split valuation X

Hello,
We have a problem with the Goods Receipts for Stock Transfer Orders between plants for materials subject to batch split and split valuation with valuation type X.
The scenario is very similar to the one explained on this thread: STO:problem with batch valuated material
When creating the the STO, it automatically sets a valuation type that is not be the appropriate one, we cannot use only one valuation type per position because we can use more than one batch (and valuation type). The outbound delivery has the correct valuation types for each batch and material but when doing the GR at the receiving plant, it only takes into account the valuation type indicated in the STO with no chance to change it.
I have seen the Note 212532 but we are not working with active ingredients.
Does anybody know a useful EP to use?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Javier.

Well, we can change the valuation type before Posting the goods issue of the delivery, but in most cases we need more than one batch (each batch has a different valuation type) for each item (material) in the purchase order.
We can do this at delivery level but the GR only takes into account the valuation type of the purchase order.
Thanks.

VPRS shows no Value with Split Valuation - Valuation Category X

After configuring Split Valuation - Valuation Category X (http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=193693045)
VPRS is no longer showing any Value in the Sales Order. I have assigned a Batch in the Sales Order and tried to Deliver and VPRS still shows as 0.
VPRS is working correctly for Material that are not maintained at Valuation Category X.
Also, I have the Price maintained as Moving Average Price for the Materials with Val Cat = X.
Does anyone have any ideas? Please I would appreciate the feedback.

Thank you for the quick response.
After check MBEW i was able to see that my new Batches were being assigned a Standard Price instead of MAP.
I changed the settings in the Attributes of my Material Type to set the Price to MAP instead of Standard.
Now it works perfectly - Thanks!

CK11n with split valuation

hi,
Here in MM split valuation is being used for raw materials. Mean local and imported.
When I run the cost estimate system does not picking the price of raw material. I check raw material have two prices according to valuation type.
What setting needs for cost estimate, please advise in detail.
sapian

Dear,
If you use split valuation, then for releasing the cost at valuation type level, you will need to activate mixed costing configuration. You will also need to maintain procurement alternatives specifying the sourec for each valuation type and also the mixing ratio i.e. weightage for each alternative (t code CK94).
Please refer this link,
[Mixed Costing|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/34/f4af26be4411d1898f0000e8214595/frameset.htm]

Error when doing two step transfer between Plants with split valuation

Hi,
What do you mean with "inconcistent to my storage type definition?", is that mean i can process two step transfer without using PO/delivery process or one-step movement? coz according to business requirement, we must use two step transfer considering to the distance between plants is so far and we want to make it the simple way so that PO/Delivery process isn't better solution. I think, this is an standard procedure all company over the world can use but just the reason of split valuation the system can't execute the transaction.
Is there any config i miss to? is there any user exit i can use for this requirement? please help me..
thanks,
AJ
