Reg: Material Ledger Account posting

Hello Everyone,
We have Material Ledger active for a plant with transaction based price determination (Price Control V). I have posted a GR & its creating 2 Accounting docs. One with Transaction keys BSX, WRX & PRD.
WRX is calculating correctly based on the PO price. But, I am not sure how BSX is calculated as its not picking the Periodic Price unit in the current period.
Could you please guide how account posing (GR & IR) will happen for a material with Price control V & Material Ledger active.
Thanks in Advance,
Uswin

Hi Uswin,
if you look at the second FI document generated upon the GR, I'm pretty sure you will find that in this document, the price difference from the first document ist "reversed" and the amount added to inventory value, correct? So the end result is the same as it would be without material ledger (GR valued at PO price), it just happens in two steps. Therefore, what Frederick said is not 100% correct, as only the end result is the same with and without ML for V/2 materials, but not each single document.
Secondly, as to why the PRD arises on GR.
In my system I found the same case. A GR with a PRD posting for a material with price control V and price determination 2.
In my case I found the PRD to be in fact a rounding difference, which arose in the following way:
Price in PO was 57,78 u20AC/10 pieces. The price unit in material master, however, is 1 unit.
Now what the system seems to have done is:
(1) round the price in PO to the price unit from material master: result: 5,78 u20AC/piece
(2) Post 5,78 u20AC * pieces received to stock value, the difference (5,778 - 5,78)*pieces received to PRD account
(3) POst a second document reversing the PRD and addig it to stock value
Perhaps, the reason for a "price difference" arising is similar in your case

  • Material ledger accounts range

    Dear Experts
    can you please explain ,
    1]What is " Material ledger accounts Range " were it is created ,
    2] what is its use
    3]How to run material ledger
    regards
    bhaskar

    Hi,
    Material Ledger is created to follow the transaction posted through various movement types and check for any price changes.
    The configuration for Material Ledger is done in Controlling > Product Cost Controlling > Actual Costing/material ledger.
    The number ranges for material documents are based on the nature of transactions and transaction groups.
    You have to create the Material ledger documents under document type ML and for passing on the entries to accounting
    use document type 47.  Material price valuation is a periodic activity done through CKMF and CKMH.  You have the
    analysis of the material prices through CKM3.

  • Material ledger accounting entries

    Dear All,
    i need material ledger related all accounting entries. I am confused with some entries.please do the needful urgent.
    regards
    K S Rangarajan

    Hi
    Material ledger/Actual costing updates the MM master at actual costs at period end.
    Let us give an accounting entry by way of an example
    Beginning inventory= 10 KG at $10= $100
    Goods receipt=15 kg at $11          = $165
    Total value         25 KG at $265 (unit price =10.60)
    However Inventory is valued at $250 because of Price control indicator S, thus there is a price difference (Dr) of $15
    On revaluation at period end, Dr Inventory $15
                                               Cr Price difference $15
    This is a simple case. Add to that exchange fluctuations, Invoice value resulting in price difference, etc. Assume a Goods issue of 12KG in the same period, it will be initially valued at $10, however on material price determination, this price difference of  $0.60 per unit is assigned to consumption as well.
    Hope you understand better

    Hi All,
    Please any body Guide me the following Issue & Please give me any Cofig Doc for Commitment Management.
    Valuation area 1101 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.

    Hi,
    It seems you had not done costing activities on materials soon after its creation.
    Remember one thing if *material Ledger* is active in your company code then you will have to perform some costing activities soon after the creation so that at the time of PUP (Periodic Unit Price) costing run all material s will be costed and if some variances are there will get settled.
    I think u had not done CKMM soon after creation and u had done some postings thats why system is not selecting your material.
    Thanks

  • Reg. Stock account posting instead of consumption account

    Dear Experts
    Pls consider my below senario
    As per SAP the material goes to consumption account when GR is made. but our concern wants to keep the material at unrestricted stock and that is to be used as and when required for production. how to configure the same. Our implementation team has done like I said in our production server. And in our ECC also we want the same settings.Pls help me
    Thanks in advance

    The first thing is that whenever GR done against any PO it is not necessary that material always go to consumption it is dependent on Acct Assignment Cat used in PO.
    If Acct Assignment Cat. is blank in PO then material must go in unrestricted stock. You need to check the same in SPRO.
    IMGMaterials ManagementPurchasingAccount AssignmentMaintain Account Assignment Categories--double click on any acct assignment cat
    Details will be displayed for this acct assignment cat: there check field Consumption posting in Detailed Information. If you want to post material in unrestricted stock then make the field blank.
    Hope this will help you.

  • Reg General Ledger Accounting(New) Business content

    Hi,
    I would like to know if we can migrate the standard queries based on 0FIGL_C01 and base the queries on 0FIGL_C10. Also, is it advisable to migrate the queries based on 0FIGL_VC1 and 0FIGL_VC2, to be based on 0FIGL_C10.
    any pointers to the same, would be helpful.
    Regards,
    Sainath

    Its good to use the queries based on the infocubes standard content to be used rather than migration.
    Also the OLD and NEW gl depends on the R/3 config ,if they have configured the NEW GL then use 0FIGL_C10 and if they used the old use the other infocube.

  • Material Ledger for Stock Transfer Postings

    Hi All,
    I have a question about the way material ledger is calculated for stock transfer postings (movement type 641). I will give an example to illustrate this issue:
    Material A has a Standard cost of $10
    Material B has a Standard cost of $8
    During the month 100 units were transferred from material A to Material B. This created a financial posting as follows:
    Credit Material A -          $1000                               
    Debit Material B -           $800
    Debit Price Difference    $200
    This price difference of $200 was used in the calculation of Actual cost for material B
    However, the Actual Cost for Material A was $9. I would have expected the system to use this actual cost to calculate the difference to be posted to material B. Hence the difference used in Material B should have been $100 {(9 – 8) X 100} and not $200.
    Has anyone had a similar issue, or know how the system resolves this (if at all)?
    Points will be rewarded for relevance.
    Thanks

    Dave, I see that your process is slightly different to mine. We do not revalue inventory at month end, instead the material ledger program posts the revalued amount to a reserve account and the actual cost is only a statistical entry. The material ledger calculation is reversed automatically in the new month and the standard price is used for valuation.
    I think this might make it difficult for the system to value STO's at actual. I may need to check with SAP.
    Thanks

  • 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

  • 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 activity rate revaluation account determination modification

    Scenario:
    SAP ECC 617
    Material ledger activated with activity rate revaluation (i.e. cost center over/under absorption posts to ML and not to production orders)
    Standard SAP setup has PRV transaction key used to post both multi-level price differences to inventory and to capture the offset to the cost center clearing entries (GBB-AUI) causing the values to get comingled in the same account
    Question:
    For reporting purposes I would like to determine a unique account for the activity rate revaluation entries.  There is no relevant general modifier available for transaction key PRV. Is it possible and practical to modify table T169A for a specific value string / field name combination that represents this material ledger transaction?  If so, what is the combination?  Or will this cause major issues with ML processing?
    I'm trying to find a creative way to fill this gap without account substitution.

    Hi Eric,
    This is an interesting one.
    Modifying value string might be an option but in my opinion is quite a serious "brain surgery" on the system :-).
    You may want to try another option.
    In SPRO -> Controlling -> General Controlling -> Organization -> Maintain Versions
    for version 0, Controlling Area Settings, Settings for Each Fiscal Year in tab Price Calculation there is field Revaluation.
    One of the options there is 'Own business transaction'. With this option posting to sending Cost Centre resulting from actual activity price revaluation will be posted with different Business Transaction (although same secondary cost element as original activity allocation).
    In reports you can separate postings based on Business transaction.
    It definitely works for Activity Update 1 (revaluation of production orders).
    I'm not sure if it works for Activity Udate 2 (no revaluation of production orders).
    Please let us know the results of your investigation.
    Regards,
    Szymon

  • Material Ledger : Actual Cost settlement to Consumption Accounts

    Dear CO Experts,
    We are aware that when we run CKMLCP, all variances (in the Price Diff GL Account) due to Material Prices flutuation, diff in Standard & Actual Cost of Production, etc. would finally get settled to Consumption or Stock Account in its appropriate ratios.
    Consumption Acount GL is a Cost Element with Cost Category as 1.
    There can be cases, when there are diferences in Production Order, due to fluctuations in Prices or Actual consumption is more than standard consumption.
    When a Production Order is settled the difference is posted to Price Diff Account.
    When a Material Ledger (Actual Costing) is executed, Price Diff Account is targetted to be Zero. The Price Diff is then splitted in Stock & Consumtion Account in its appropriate ratios.
    Main Question :
    Since, Consumption Acount GL is a Cost Element with Cost Category as 1, what shall be the CO Account Assignment Object, when the ML value is settled to Consumption Accounts.

    hi merchant..
       1. Price diff between stnd and act is initially goes to PRD a/c through OBYC setting at the time of GR/Invoiceing/Issue if mat is set as S&3.
       2. In case of mat set as V&2 idially there should not be any diff but may arise some small amount due to "no or less stock qty" at the time of invoicing.
      3. When CKMLCP is run these price diff & order settlement diff splitted to cons and stock as you mentioned.
    Now your question :
      " Since, Consumption Acount GL is a Cost Element with Cost Category as 1, what shall be the CO Account Assignment Object, when the ML value is settled to Consumption Accounts"
        Cons GL is cost element cat 1 for capturing mat mov for Issues to orders/cost centres,oth co obj for primary posting at stnd price.
        Now at the time of CKMLCP run you revaluate the materials and price diff are splitted to cons & stock and goes to mat to calculate act cost (stnd +/- prd).
    I think this will give you some light on your issue.

  • Posting Material Ledger

    Hi SAP Gurus,
    I just finish to execute the Material Ledger by tx CKMLCP but I have some doubts about the accounting.The posting of ML only show me accounting from level and multilevel price differences to materials, but what about accounting complementary for example the consumption of material was costed before the ML a standard price, but now that i calculate the PIP (Periodic Internal Price) the ML does not no have to make accounting in the comsumption between the differences standard price and PIP??
    Whats the configuration in the transaction OBYC in PRD, PRY and PRV? I only configurate the account Differences Prices, it is correct?
    I will appreciate your help as soon as possible.
    Regards
    Antonio Rivas Plata

    Hi
    Thanks for you answer, but I have three doubts:
    1. The Material Ledger after I execute the CKMLCP is going to make a complementary accounting? because all the  movements for example consumption, cost of good sales at the beginning was costed by standard price and now I calculate the Internal Price Periodic, is going to account the differences between the Internal Price Periodic and Standard price for the same movements consumption, cost of good sales ??
    2.When I was executing the posting for Material Ledger CKMLCP the system ask me for a account to define in OBYC operation PRY, PRV and PRD, I only put an account Price Differences, but what about account Real Cost for example (the difference between PIP and Standar price in the first question)??
    3. Which is concept about T156 of your email??
    Thanks for your cooperation
