Reports in Material Ledger

Hi,
Is there a report in Material Ledger showing:
- consumption of all raw materials in actual price in selected month
- value of production of Finished Goods in actual prices in selected month
Is there a way to see the value of production of Finished Goods without production of Semifinished Goods (Semi finished goods are included in Finished goods).
Best wishes,
Karol

Hi Karol,
You can have a look at many SAP std reports under Controlling->Product Cost Controlling->Actual costing/Material Ledger->Information system->

Material Ledger Report

Hello All,
Is there any report available in Standard SAP Material ledger which shows the openening quantity, purchase, consumption and closing stock by material wise.
This is required for audit purposes.
I just wanted to know how other companies solving this problem.
Thank you,

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

Cost of goods manufactured vs COGS+ Material ledger

Hi Experts,
My company is implenting Material Ledger. They want to see the actual cost of goods manufactured. We are able to develop the actual cost of goods sold in COPA. The required report is to show:
1- Direct material used at standard + variances (price + usage) to give the actual.
2- Direct labor (standard + variances = Actual)
3- Manufacturing overhead ( standard + variances = Actual)
Attached excel file is showing the requirement.
Your guidance to develop this report by any means (Report painter, BI, other).
Regards
Ahmed Zain Hassan

Hi Ahmed / Ajay.
1. In order reports KKO0, you dont see the revaluation of ML, as you said Consumption and Activities are revaluated at Material level, and as far as i know, theres no way to add records that represent the revaluation.
2. The easy way to have a Order Report revaluated at actual cost is with LIS(Logistic InfoSys), creating a Z infostructure (eg copy lis S027) that store consumption and activity QTY, and a user exit that read the actual cost of consumed materials (depending if this is V, S2, S3) and activities and revaluate. In LIS, there are standard way to "re-post" or repopulate the infostructures. This LIS can be reported with the standard functions (ReportPainter, quers on SQ01), or create a Z tcode that show the info stored in the way you want. Problem: Not all know how to customize LIS, and also you need code in the exit.
3. In my country (Peru), there are lots of companies that develop a Z Kardex valuated at actual cost (because, is a legal requirement), and also create Zprograms that calculate the order at actual cost (indeed, i create this reports twice). Its a bit complex, but not impossible and depends on custo EG if you have multiple valuations, you need to write code in order to get the infor for this specific valuations.
4. About COPA, you can post to copa the Actual Cost Component Split calculated by ML. In this CCS, you can identify the Labor, Direct Materials, and overheads. You have 2 options, You can post the delta to the original field or have an aditional field that store the difference. This stuff is done in KE27, i see 1 example in the SCN (i guess i bookmarked). Its important to understand you dont have the detail of the delta per consumed material, just an agregated value.
Here is the link
http://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/ERPFI/KE27+Periodic+Valuation
5. There is a new ML DrillDown report functionality. Indeed, i couldnt spend time analizing the solution (my test system is with EHP5 and dont plant to upload the OSS), but i guess this is the future. You can look for info with tcode KKML0 in the marketplace, also check this oss 1639462 - ERP accelerators: enhancements in ML drilldown reporting
My questions:
What you want?
+ Order Report, i mean Cost detaild per Order? The Actual CCS por order?
+ Material Report? I mean, the monthly average of a Fert, and its CCS ?
+ a PA Report, that show Sales (Incomes), and Costs per matiral , split by Direct, Labor and OverHead?

Variance between Material Ledger and General Ledger of

There is again a variance between Material Ledger and General Ledger of
7.026,64 (Tcode MB5L) as it was already in $$100036500(G/L).
The strange thing is, that there is only a difference in the GL Account
Balance report (FS10N) for S240077000(G/L ). In the Line Item report (FBL3N)
all documents are available. This issue impacts at least the Balance
carry forward negativ at the year end, because the system will forward
the the amount of the balance for S240077000, which is now 7.026,64 to
less.
Ther first investigations results:
- all Material- and FI documents are available.
- the variances in June refer to FI-documnets 4900015286 and 4900015293.
- the documents, e.g. 4900015292 and 4900015287, are correct and was
posted at the same day by the same user and with the same transaction
MI07.
- there are no differences for the posted materials identificable from
the other materials

Material Ledger/Actual costing MLAC
MLAC is used where the FG cost varies every month due to external procurement variation.
Ex: Jan 2011
FG cost of manufcature internally = 100
FG cost of procurement externally = 120 ( Company procures due to capacity constraint)
FG Standard price at the end of month = 110...This is standard price of FG
Due to heavy fluctuations in the month of February 2011 in procurement...
Ex: Feb 2011
FG cost of manufcature internally = 140
FG cost of procurement externally = 460 ( Company procures due to capacity constraint)
FG Standard price at the end of month = 300...This is standard price of FG.
The variance is very high in Feb 2011 and company want to absorb this variance in Feb 2011 iteslef hence they will use MLAC.
So if the variance is within reasonable limits company usually do not follow MLAC.
Where as if the variance is very high company usually follow MLAC.
In Pharma Industry usually the variance is very high on month to month basis hence they follow MLAC.
Where as in Industrial Mahcineery Manufacturing Company the variance is with in reasonable limits hence they do not follow MLAC. Ofcourse they can use MLAC as well.

Group and legal costs without Material Ledger

I was wondering is there a way we could have both the group cost and the legal cost in the system without having to configure material ledger. Currently we have Group cost in the system and no legal cost.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi NIK83,
There is no other way to have multiple valuations w/o having ML in SAP
ML is the only solution... If you want to upload the legal values, you can use the tax price or commercial price fields and take out a report comparing the 2 values using T code MRN9
but, you will have to uplaod these values.. these cant be calculated w/o ML

Material ledger (ML) price analysis, LACCS & CKMLLA return err. CKMLLA001

Dear colleagues,
We're experiencing problems analysing actual cost component split on material level after Material Ledger closing and need some help.
OSS-note 872421 "Cost component split display for activity types" comes with two transactions for the purpose of analysing prices. But both transactions LACCS & CKMLLA don't work in our system, returning error message "Header not found: message № CKMLLA001" after trying to view ML prices (F5) or get Price report from LACCS as well as on Price report (F8) in CKMLLA.
There's no further info available on message CKMLLA001. Did anyone here happened to get this message? What could it mean, what should we check?
We need for analysing ML prices because the values in cost components split (according to CKM3, Itemization) differ greatly from what was expected on the basis of price analysis in Cost Center accounting (e.g. S_ALR_87013611).
OSS-note note 880217 "Cost component split and price do not match" is implemented in our system, as well as recommendations from the corresponding note 1090144 "Preventing rounding errors in prices" are taken into account. For activity prices number of significant digits is set to 10, "no optimization" not selected. Though we don't get any warnings # 204: "Split and price of cost elem./activity type &1/&2 not consistent" during multi-level price determination, the totals are close to equal in ML costing compared to CC costing.

Material ledger close period best-practice

Hi experts:
I am thinking about the model when you actívate material ledger actual cost. During the period we will be valuating our COGS according to the standard cost. During the close period, I understand that you can allocate the differences (for material already sold) directly to COPA. It means that we can allocate posting to accounts from account determination 'COC' directly to the cost object that were allocated in the origin. Is that correct?
Then, It would be only necessary to use COPA post-valuation if you need to break down the differences according to product-costing. is that correct?
Thanks in advance for your help
Best regards
Jose

Hi,
It is possible to reopen a previously closed period. This is at your own risk.
However, it is not something that we can recommend because there is a possibility that inconsistencies occur. If you decide to proceed with the process please review the documentation of program RMMMINIT (SE38)
Please refer to the notes 487381 & 369637 in relation to this program. Also review note 70545
You should make sure that you intialize the period via program RMMMINIT as soon as possible to make sure that you will
not create more inconsistencies. I understand that you may encounter error MM017 when running this report. You should bypass this message via debugging.

Material Ledger Postings - Contradicting IAS 2?

Hi All,
Material Ledger captures both Price Differences and Exchange Rate Differences and allocates these according to Stock and Consumption.
During the month, when we encounter Price and Exchange Rate differences, these are held on the P/L. At month-end, when we close ML, the Price and Exchange Rate differences 'attribuatable' to Stock are moved from the P/L to the Balance Sheet (or "Capitalised").
This is seemingly contrary to IAS 2, which clarifies that Exchange Rate differences cannot be capitalised on stock. Is that an acceptable accouting treatment for (say) external reporting. Certainly SAP does follow IAS, so I'm probably just missing the point?
Reproduced Verbatim:
"Inventory cost should not include: abnormal waste, administrative overheads unrelated to production, selling costs, foreign exchange differences arising directly on the recent acquisition of inventories invoiced in a foreign currency and interest cost when inventories are purchased with deferred settlement terms."
Can anyone shed light please?
Regards.
Venky.

Dear Ram
Thanks for your reply.
Both the production orders are for the same material, same BOM was used and the only difference is the goods receipt was not made for one productin order. We need to hold that order for 2 weeks. Fortunately this happens in the month end and the BOM is very small by which we could able to find this difference.
In CKM3 w.r.t actual cost copmponent split the value of one number is 4500 instead of 4800. The total consumption difference for the two orders are shown as the price difference and the price is calculated for 1 EA of the finished material in stock.
My requirement is since we have given to stock only one number the consumption difference has to be posted to 1 EA. and the consumption difference for another one should be loaded to pending production order.
or is there any way to post the price difference to pending production orders.
Thanks
Soundar

Material Ledger Active Historical GC Tables

Material ledger is activated. We use Mr21 for standard cost estimates. For some reporting purposes I will need to find the current standard price, previous srandard price in GC (type 30).
MBEW does not show the GC price. I found the current month's GC price in CKMLCR.
But I have difficulty in getting the previous month's standard cost from this table, because this talbe doesn't have the material number.
I tried going through MBEWH History table that gives Prices in Local currency, not in GC. Also this table does not have the cost estimate number. CKMLCR does not have reference to Material. But it refers the cost estimate number. How to bridge these two? Is there any other table?
Any help most appreaciated.
thanks

HI,
This sort of implementation in the live system happens every where and there is no risks involved.
There will be some challenges might be.
1.a)We need decide, are we going to have raw materials with pricing control S or V.
b)Are we going to have actual price of last month is going to be new planned price of new month or not?
c)Is it only for reporting purpose or more than that? like inventory control sort.
d)User training
2.Ususally, this will be considered as separate procject
3.refer point 1.

Material Ledger Active - K088 Settlement doesnt use Actual Cost Comp Split

Production Order quantities are all scrap (in confirmation) thus order balance contains Consumed Materials and Activity Allocation
When KO88 Settlement is run, the system uses Standard Cost Component Split to allocate the residual to Cost Components instead of the Actual Cost Component Split
When we run the flow trace, the message says:
"Splitting according to output material S-Price CCS"
Expectation was that costs would flow according to Actual Cost Component split.
There is note 756167 - This note activates the update of the actual cost component split information in the material ledger document when you perform the order settlements.
However current release is 604, so its expected that this is already applied.
Any help or insight on how to settle using Actual Cost Component split is appreciated.

The second option you mentioned of using separate value field for transferring the standard cost component split from the actual cost component split is the way SAP designed this integration between CO-PA and the Material Ledger. But 40 value field for cost component split is excessive. CO-PA allows up to 120 value fields maximum, so I agree it does not seem prudent to use 80 of them for this purpose.
I suggest you reexamine the level of detail you think may be needed in CO-PA and try to use CO-PC reports at the cost element level to report on more detail. Keep the CO-PA view more aggregated and you can stick with the standard solution for comparing standard to actual costs in CO-PA.

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

Tables used for material ledger

What are the standard tables used for material ledger

Hi,
All req. configuration i have defined in last thread...
The following tables contain data that can appear in the material ledger documents:
·        MLHD      Material Ledger Document: Header
·        MLIT Material Ledger Document: Items
·        MLPP      Material Ledger Document: Posting Periods and Quantities
·        MLPPF    Material Ledger Document: Field Groups (Posting Periods and Quantities)
·        MLCR      Material Ledger Document: Currencies and Values

·        MLCRP    Material Ledger Document: Price Change (Currencies, Prices)
·        MLMST    Material Ledger Document: Costing Run Header Data
The following types of material ledger documents are available, differing by transaction type:
·        CL     Material Ledger Closing Entries
·        UP    Material Ledger Update
·        PC    Price Changes
·        ST     Single-Level Price Determination
·        MS    Multilevel Price Determination
·        RE    Material Ledger Data Repairs
USE :
Material ledger documents are data that is recorded during each business transaction that is relevant to valuation. You can archive documents for closed periods when they are no longer needed for material price determination or reporting purposes. Archiving the documents deletes them from the database.

Material ledger configuration documentation

Dear Gurus,
Pls provide the Material ledger configuration document. We are in emergency. Pls any body help me out.
Thanks in advance.

Venkata Reddy.Mudda

Hi ,
The Material Ledger(ML) is a tool within the CO Module that collects all transactional data for materials whose master data is stored in the material master. It acts as a subledger for selected materials that captures all goods movements, invoice values, transfers and price changes. On the basis of this data, the material ledger calculates and maintains the actual cost for these materials. This actual cost can then be utilized to valuate the material stock accounts.
Functions of Material Ledger:
-     Cost accounting using actual prices.
-     Storing values of stock in three different valuations (legal valuation, group valuation for reporting purposes, and profit center valuation) in multiple currencies.
   If you need any furthr docs let me know ..i will send docs ,,

Material Ledger Value Flow Monitor CKMVFM question

Hello,
I am researching the Value Flow Monitor report CKMVFM. On my test material, it is showing a balance in FI, and a red indicator on the FI/ML status. I assume this means there is a discrepancy between FI and Material Ledger, but I don't know how to go about researching this. I have completed all steps in the Closing Cockpit. How do I explain the difference between FI and ML, or go about reconciling the two? Thanks in advance for your assistance!
