Restrict issue of non valuated materials

dear experts,
Is there any way to restrict issue of non valuated materials against a production order.
Regards,
krishna mohan

sir ,
After discussing with u about the issue again i discussed with my pm and got the exact requirement,
what exactly he want is the price of the material is 0 zero , it should not be allowed to be issued against a production order.
please tell me if we can do with configuration which is the best way or else we have to use any exit.
if we use exit we will check in MBEW table and field verpr, if the verpr field value is 0 zero then we will not allow else we allow the material to be issued.

Transfer of non-valuated materials from ECC to SRM

I kindly request your help with an issue that I am facing.
The scenario is as follows :
1. There is a non valuated material X (material type UNBW).
2. MRP run happens and generates a PR with account assignment U.
3. Transfer report BBP_EXTREQ_TRANSFER is executed in order to transfer the PR to SRM.
4. The PR reaches SRM, but the SC is not created instead in SLG1 there is an error thrown, "No account assignment exist. Enter an account assignment".
5. In the backend now If I try to change the PR i get the error " 6Q204 (Procurement profile 36 cannot be changed).
Is this scenario supported ?? i,e, transfer of non-valuated materials from ECC to SRM.
Kindly let me know if you have any idea on this.

Non-valuated materials

Hi,
We have non-valuated materials in master data. We are using account assignment category K (Gl account and cost center purchase) while creating PO for non-valuated material. Hence, the material should get consumed at the time of GR. But we are observing that the material's qty. gets accumulated in unrestricted stock instead of getting consumed at the time of GR.
If we issue the material again using MB1A then issued qty gets deducted from unrestricted store.
Kindly explain.
With Best Regards,
Rajkumar

Hi Rajkumar,
The system is working fine in this case. Please, note the following:
1) If the material is set to make value and quantity update and it is included in a Purchase Order with account assignment, a goods receipt will increase the consumption.
2) If the material is set to quantity update but no value update and it is included in a Purchase Order with account assignment, a goods receipt will increase the stock.
The reason is the following one:
In the case 2) the account assignment is mandatory when the purchase order is created.
In the case 1) the account assignment is not mandatory. We enter the account assignment as we need, but it is not compulsory. Therefore, in this case, the presence of account assignment is used to decide whether the goods are posted to consumption or to stock:
- If there is account assignment the goods go to consumption.
- If there is not account assignment the goods go to stock.
In the case 2) this logic cannot be used, because the account assignment is mandatory, so the system "does not know" if you want to post the material to consumption or to stock.
In this case 2) the material always goes to stock.
If then the material is to be consumed you can do your consumption posting for a non-valuated material just as you mention: with MB1A and the movement type 201 for example.
I hope this information helps!
Best regards,
Esther.

Issue of Non Valuated Material

Hi Friends,
We have non valuated stockable material UNBW. We made material master, PO along with cost centre accordingly did GR. Value booked to consumption account & stock get updated. The material is issued to dept. / cost centre. How to do this in SAP, when I am trying with 201 mov. type, it is saying the field cost centre is mandatory. If we didn't do / issue we see the stocks.
If we want to reduce the stocks how to do ? In case that material want to destruct how to do ? I mean the movement type / t. code / process ?
We see the stocks but actually it has ben issued to cost centre how to do ? If we want to see the with whom the stocks are, I don't this is possible.
Does we need to make a new mov. type (copying 201) in which we say cost centre is not mandatory.
I have gone thru below links, but didn't get any answers.

241 in standard SAP is GI to asset and hence has the asset field mandatory. 291 is GI to account assignments - none of the account assignments is mandatory.
Sai Krishna, if you want to distinguish between the different reasons for goods issue, e.g. consumption, sampling scrapping, etc. Then you can either specify the corresponding G/L account (no posting to accounting will be done anyway, but you can make a report on the table MSEG and the account no.) or create reasons for movement for each purpose (IMG for MM > Inventory mgmt > Movement Types > Record Reason for Goods Movements).

Split valuation for non-valuated materials

Hi dudes,
We are implementing SAP for our Subcontractor.
our SC receive all components from our company ( on free ) but sometimes they purchase the same material themselves for other uses. so we decided to use split valuation to separate valuated and non-valuated materials.
I did configuration and created 2 valuation type ( valuated - nonvaluated )
when I create Purchase order it askes for valuation type but even when I use non-valuation type in PO it asks for price!!!!
do any of you have used split valuation for this target?
have the same problem?
what should I do actually??

Hi,
Is someone in the subcontracting plant going to do a process order on the materials you send them? Or are you only going to track the finished inventory once it reaches your plant?
In the first case:
1) Create a STO to the SC plant. This stock will have to be priced.
2) Inventory reaches SC plant. They perform production process.
3) finished inventory is sent using another STO.
2nd Case:
1) Create a SC vendor using the SC plant as a vendor.
2) Create a SC PO to this vendor using this vendor and transfer goods to him. In this case, goods are transferred for 'free' as they really belong to you and not to the SC
3) Once the production process is over and the finished product is sent back to you, do a GR. The raw material sent to the SC will be consumed.

Best Material Type for Handling Non-valuated Materials in Distribution

Our distribution business will soon be handling non-valuated material and I am trying to determine the best material type to use. I am considering material type UNBW but would like to know if anyone has advice. We are strictly providing a service to the vendor for handling these non-valuated materials (for example, wood products). We will not purchase or sell the product. Our service consists of receiving the product into inventory from the vendor, tracking the inventory, (in Warehouse Management) and then shipping the material to a customer of the vendor's choosing. For these non-valuating materials, we are paid strictly for our service of warehousing the material and shipping to a customer.
Up until now, our distribution business has distributed only valuated materials, i.e., materials we purchase at a price and sell at a price. We also use vendor consignment. NOTE: This is not a vendor consignment scenario because we never buy the product.
Here are our requirements:
- We don't own the non-valuated product.
- We need to be able to ship these new non-valuated products on the same shipments as the valuated product we own.
- We use handling unit and warehouse management for all of our finished goods.
- We would like to use our existing processes and HU/WM RF transactions to receive and pick the non-valuated product. This means:
1) Creating inbound deliveries and packing into HUs. And applying our HU bar code labels.
2) Physical inventory counts by HU.
3) Creating sales orders that have both the non-valuated materials and valuated materials we own.
4) Creating outbound deliveries and picking via transfer orders in WM.
5) Assigning the outbound deliveries to a shipment.
Questions:
1) Can a UNBW material that will be stocked but not valuated be received into inventory via a PO? Any way to receive into inventory with an inbound delivery without using a PO?
2) Are there any problems with putting a non-valuated material on a sales order with a zero price?
3) Any challenges that other have run into?
Thanks in advance.
Rob

I must be missing something regarding the use of material type UNBW. When I post the goods receipt for a PO with a UNBW material, no inventory is created. When I create the PO, an account assignment is required. I tried both a cost center account assignment (K) and balance sheet account assignment (Z - using a Profit Center). In both cases, I am forced to check the "Free item" checkbox to avoid entering a price; which also seems strange since the material is UNBW.
I have searched everywhere for a "Best Practice" for my scenario with little results. Again, we are simply managing the inventory for a vendor and shipping the inventory to our vendor's customers. So we are acting as a third pary warehouse and shipper for the vendor. We do not buy or sell the inventory - we are paid a monthly service fee by the vendor for warehousing their product and shipping it to their customers. We may ship the product on sales order deliiveries that include both the "non-valuated" product (i.e., free goods we manage for this vendor) and goods that we actually own.
As an alternative, I am wondering if I should look into somehow using vendor consignment with a settlement price (consignment info record price) of zero. Vendor consignment is nice because you can track the stock by vendor. However, we would never truly "settle" with the vendor because we would not be paying the vendor for the inventory and would never own it.
Our business refers to this as "reload business" but I am not sure this is an industry standard term.
Any other thoughts out there?

GRN of Non Valuated Materials

Hello Experts,
Please explain me the inventory management of Non Valuated Materials.
How the GRN of such materials is done.
What are the documents generated for goods movement related to non valuated materials.
Regards,
MM

Dear,
Please explain me the inventory management of Non Valuated Materials.
Non-valuated materials are managed on a quantity basis, but not by value
How the GRN of such materials is done.
GRN of these materials will be done in normal way with mvt 101, only difference will be there won't be any accounting document generated at the time of GRN.
What are the documents generated for goods movement related to non valuated materials.
Once you do GRN for Non Valuated Materials then there will be only material document created, there won't be any accounting document generated.
Hope it helps.

Non-Valuated Materials Purchasing Process

Hi,
Can some one please explain step by stem the process of purchasing for non-valuated materials. From PR to PO e.g. Account Assignments etc the whole works. If any one has any documents or screenshots that would be greate to just email them to me.
1)When Creating a requsition it asks for an Account Assignment why?
2)It also asks for a valuation price it doesn't accept 0 why? This is a non-valuated material and free?
I am having problems as I have approval levels setup via classifications for all indirect purchasing from account assignment K if for all non-valuated materials I have to create reqs via account assignment K they will require approvals. I don't want that.
please help points will be awarded
thanks

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NON-STOCK AND NON-VALUATED MATERIALS

HI ALL,
I WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NON-STOCK AND NON-VALUATED MATERIALS. WHY THESE TYPE OF MATERIALS ARE COMING UNDER COST CENTER AND WHEN CREATING PO FOR THIS TYPE PARTICULAR MATERIALS WHY WE ARE NOT MAINTAINING PRICE, MEANS WHY WE ARE DEFINING THE PRICE FOR THIS PARTICULAR MATERIALS?

Hi,
Hi,
non-valuated material (Material Type UNBW):
This type of material is managed on a quantity basis, but not on a value basis. This makes sense for materials of low value, stocks of which nevertheless have to be monitored (for example, operating manuals).
Non-stock material (NLAG) (Material Type NLAG):
Inventory management is not possible for these materials either on a quantity or value basis. For frequently required consumables, the use of this material type nevertheless enables you to store the information required to create
purchasing documents (such as texts and units of measure).
When a material is procured directly for consumption, no material master record is necessary. In connection with consumable materials, you can distinguish between the following cases:
Consumable material without material master record
Consumable material with material master record that is not subject to
inventory management (on either a quantity or value basis)
Consumable material with material master record that is subject to inventory management on a quantity, but not a value, basis

Intrastat - Inbound/Outbound of non valuated materials used in production.

Hello everyone,
I've found several threads and very useful posts (ex: Re: PO Creation of free goods for intrastat reporting) regarding similar issue, but the solution proposed was manual input, therefore not answering totally to my client requirement.
I am actually performing maintenance activities and there is this new business process, I have been searching for the correct understandind of this process regarding intrastat here and I haven't found.
So i will describe the process hoping that someone can give me some hint:
Vendor A
Customer B
Raw Material R
Finish Product P
Service S
1. So we ( Vendor A ) receive raw material from our Customer B (+mov.type +)
2. We ( Vendor A ) with a production order process the Raw material R into Finish Product P.
3. We ( vendor A ) send the Finish Product P back to the Customer B.
4. We ( Vendor A ) then issue an invoice for the Service S to the Customer B.
5. It can occur that we Vendor A, can send back the Raw material R which was not manufactured back to Customer B (with a mov type.)
So thiswas the scenario and how the process is beeing done, and the client understanding is:
- As far as i understood, (please correct me if i am wrong) the Raw Material R must be declared (Quantity and statistic value) in Purchasing Intrastat, in the transactions where the Vendor A receives the raw material and as well in the case that they send it back to Customer B.
- Regarding the Invoice from the Vendor A to Customer B, the Raw Material R is incorporated in the Finish Product P, therefore I've been told that, the Statistic Value determined in the invoice in this situation has to include the cost value of the raw materials R.
My issues in MM are the following:
1 - If Raw Material R is non valuated, how can i maintain its statistic value to be declared, in inbound as well outbound? as an Info-record?
My issues in SD are the following:
1 - If the Statistic Value GRWR can be for example 102% calculated over the net value, and if the cost value of Raw Materials R are to be included, so i would have to add them somehow to the statistic value.
In this case the question comes up, where do i maintain the value of the raw materials R, and how to add it to the statistic value automatically ?
Regarding what is implemented in this client, they have SD intrastat running, but not MM intrastat was implemented.
Feedback would be highly appreciated!!
Thank you in advance.

Hi Sergio,
I have this exact same requirement but on a bigger scale.
The complexities are:
1. The raw material which client use, that can be either supplied by customer or can be procured by client. Remember, customer's raw material and my externally procured raw material is exactly same in all properties.
2. There are many customers who send same exact raw material.
Requirements:
1. Client wants to use same material codes (for raw materials and even for finished products) for normal production cycle and for Job work cycle. Master data needs to be the same, and data need to be separated at transaction level.
2. Whatever raw material client gets from customer, its statistical value should be entered at the time of goods receipt.
Please suggest if preference processing can handle this.
Thanks & Regards,
Vishal

Procurement of non valuated materials Problems at PR Conversion time

Dear Gurus,
I need a hand on defining settings for non valuated stock materials procurement.
1-> Am using a copy of non valuated material type UNWB to which i added Accounting views )for GL acc determination through valuation class).
2-> In OPPQ, "Account assignment unknown" value is set to "9" copied from standard "K" (cost center) but with consumption posting set to "U".
3-> PR is generated through MRP with this account assignment "9".
4-> PR to PO conversion is where i have a problem since i get message "Unknown account assignment not defined for use here".
At PO creation time we need to populate a cost center so we need the account assignment tab to appear.
Now we have to change manually the account assignment category from "9" to "K" to enter the cost center (GL account is defaulted from OBYC)
-> The ideal for us would be to generate the PR with the right account assignment "K" but it is not possible since OPPQ only accepts an account assignment category that has consumption posting value set to "U" and not "V".
How can i customize this flow with minimum user interaction ??
Thks for your help
Olivier

Hi Rag, thanks for your answer !
What am dealing with here is not an issue related to customizing point "Define Combination of Item Categories/Account Assignment Categories". In OPPQ customizing when defining non valuated material account aasignment of non valuated material, R3 asks for an account assignment that has a special setting. This setting is done in customizing step "Maintain Account Assignment Categories", value for consumption posting has to be set to "U" (usually it is "V"). The PR is generated OK, the problem arises when i want to convert the PR to a PO where the use of this account assignment is not possible anymore because of the consumption posting value "U". The PO needs an exact account assignment. Check be low the error message :
"Unknown account assignment not defined for use here
Message no. ME 069
Diagnosis
You have entered the account assignment category "unknown account assignment" for the item. However, in the case of purchase orders and scheduling agreements an exact account assignment is necessary.
Procedure
Change the account assignment category to one for which an account assignment is defined (for example, cost center etc.)."
Thanks

Valuated and Non valuated materials ...

Intercompany STO for Non-valuated materials

Hi,
we a scenarion Intercompany STO with Non-valuated mateiral. In which we are doing. STO, Delivery, GI and GR.
After GR, its creating account documents. As the material is non-valuated in both of the plants, why this Acconting doucments are being created. One of the suggestions is there should'nt be any accounting documents.
Please advise.
thanks in advance to all of you.

Hi Rajendra,
When you checked "GR Non-valuated": As the term is self-explanatory, the goods item will not be valuated at the point of GR. If this box is not checked, then the valuation will take place at the point of invoice verification. As such, no Accounting documents will be posted.
When you removed the checked box "Inv. Receipt": This indicator will determine whether you want an invoice receipt to be linked to the line items. If it is checked, then an invoice verification will follow. However, as you have done (by removing the check box), the goods for this line item will be treated by the system as free-of-charge delivery instead, hence no Accounting doc is posted.
Hope this clarify your doubts..
Thanks.
Rgds.

Hi
Adding to what STEVE mentioned would like to add something( as it is very intersting) so want some feedback also from STEVE.
you can automate G/L account entry for non valuated material if u r entering K as account assignment.means u can define G/L account for a cost center infact i should say u can default a G/L account to a cost center so that in PO whenever u enter that cost center system will fill the G/L account attached to this from SPRO.
