Revaluation material using Alternative valuation run

Hi friends!!
My question is the next:
I´m want to use the Aternative valuation Run to do a Revaluation of consumption of several periods.
The issue is that I can´t find the option "Revaluate material" in the Costing cockpit of the Alternative valuation Run.
Do you must run the "Costing Cockpit: Actual Costing·" for each month to do the revalutate of ending inventory with the PIP??.
I would like to revaluate the ending stock with the Periodic internal price using the Alternative valuation run if this colud be possible..
Thanks!!!
Best Regards!!

Hi Manuel,
It depends how you want to use the AVR.
The 'Determine Delta Postings' and 'Post Closing' steps are optional
steps. They are only displayed if the AVR run is defined as a 'posting run' in the settings of the AVR.
SAP recommends to run the post closing with the periodic actual costing and post a delta with the AVR functionality.
This delta is AVR actual price - periodic actual price.
The system post the revaluation amount to the material BSX account and the delta posting calculated by the AVR to
the BSD account.
A different option would be to carry out a total post closing only via AVR according to note   633010. In this case,
the system doesn't revaluate materials with the new actual price but post the total revaluation to a LKW account.
In this case the periodic costing run can never be used. For this new posting logic you should use the parameter
AVR_POSTING_NO_DELTA in the CKMLMVADMIN table.
I hope the explanation helps to clarify the problem.
Kind regards,
MLM
p.s. If you are satisfied with the help please pariticipate in our forum giving points!

Alternative valuation run AVR and "Following run"

Hello,
We are using the Material Ledger (Alternative valuation run AVR) with multiple periods, in the "settings " tab we flagged
- "Posting run"
- "Revaluate Consumption"
- "Relevant for costing".
We would like to use the new costing run as "Following run" (ie we created the costing run for the period 01-2011 (January 2011) starting from the costing run of the period 12-2010 (December 2010); the costing run covers the period 01-2011).
A month later, we would like to create a cumulated costing run for the two periods 01 and 02 (January and February 2011); the correct way is to create the costing run for the period 02-2011 (February 2011) starting from the costing run of the period 12-2010 (December 2010)?
In this way we have
- Initial period '01-2011 '
- Period '02-2011 '. (following run of 12-2010 (December 2010).
A month later again, we would like to create a cumulated costing run for the three periods 01 to 03 (January , February and March 2011); the correct way is to create the costing run for the period 03-2011 (March 2011) starting from the costing run of the period 12-2010 (December 2010)?
In this way we have
- Initial period '01-2011 '
- Period '03-2011 '. (following run of 12-2010 (December 2010).
Is it this the correct way to use the "Following run" functionality?
Are There other ways to use the "Following run"?
Could you please indicates u201Chow tou201D documentation or other documentation?
Thanks in advance.
Mario

Hi Gianmario,
I need to run Alternative valuation starting from the alternative of the last period.
For example: we want to create AVR for the period 01-2015 starting from the alternative of 12-2014 (because my user want to take value and inventory from the last alternative that he run in December)
So :
In January
1)      initial period 01-2015
2)      Period 01-2015
3)      Following run 12-2014
In February
1)      initial period 01-2015
2)      Period 02-2015
3)      Following run 12-2014
And so on…
I need to understand if this is the correct method to use “following run” because I don’t found material or documentation on this aspect, but I found only your post.
So have you found material/Documentation of this aspect? Or if you use “following run” in this mode have you found problems?
Thanks in advance

Alternative Valuation Run

Hi Sap Experts,
In one of our companies, we have decided to use alternative valuation run (CKMLCPAVR) in order to handle the differences between IFRS requirements and Local Requirements. I have two questions:
1-) What is the customization steps of alternative valuation run in order?
2-) Do we need to create a new costing variant for alternative valuatiıon run?
Thanks In advance,
Burak

Dear all,
We have made a test to monitor the postings of AVR. THe following steps has been launched in order.
1-     All actual data for the period has been copied to the plan version *** via t-code KP98.
2-     The report S_ALR_87013611 u2013 Cost centers:Actual/Plan/Variance has been executed in order to compare the actual version (0) with plan version (***). It is seen as equal.
3-     IFRS-Local delta adjusments made on local ledger is from FI reports and these posting has been made in version *** by transaction KP06. For testing, only depreciation cost element in one of the production cost center increased by 10,000 EUR.
4-     Plan splitting (KSS4) has been executed.
5-     Plan price calculation has been executed.
6-     KSBT report for plan prices in each cost center/activity type has been checked. The only difference between the version 0 and *** is in the cost center where manual data updated in step 3.
7-     The report S_ALR_87013611 u2013 Cost centers:Actual/Plan/Variance has been executed and checked again in order to see the balance for all production cost center is 0 and splitting-plan price calculation is succesful. It has been seen that the balance of the cost center where manual data updated in step 3 is 0 and difference in depreciaton cot element has flowed to depreciation activity succesfully. In short, there is a 10,000 EUR balance between version 0 and *** in depreciation cost element (secondary).
8-     Alternavite Valuation Run (CKMLCPAVR) has been launched. Settings in AVR is stated below:
Posting run:selected
Revaluate consumption:selected
Relevant for costing:selected
Credit cost center: Inactive for selection (I will mention this below)
Acc. modification:blank
Accounting principle: ZTR (Local posting to local ledger) which is assigned to Local ledger in New ledger from customizing.
Provisional price:Price for the last cumulation period
Price:Plan price for the period
Price for Cumulation in Legal Valuation:***
Valuation alternative:Blank
Exch.rate diff:Cumulate exchange rate differences normally
After AVR closing document posted, we have realized that there is no posting related to data entered in KP06. The only posting is 0,01 EUR in one cost element where rounding difference occured during copying actual to plan.
What can be the reason why was planning data not taken into account during delta posting? It seems that AVR doesnu2019t take updates in planning data change in KP06 in version ***.
Now, in the customizing step of activate actual costing step, u201CUpdate of Activity Consumption in the Quantity Structureu201D is 0 and u201CControl of Cost Center Creditu201D is blank as it seems below. Although, I changed these selections to 2 and 1, the u201Ccredit cost centeru201D box hasnu2019t turned into active.
Can the problem of planning data be related to u201Ccredit cost centeru201D selection in settings tab in AVR? If it is, how can it be activated?

Alternative valuation run methodolgy for material ledger

Hi Experts
Does someone can explain me how to customize alternative valuation run in SAP and how to use it.
Do I have to run it from CKMLCPAVR or from CKMLCP.
Can I run for same plant and same period the AVR in CKMLCP ?
On the screen of CKMLCPAVR I don't have nothing in Creat Cost estimate ??
THanks and regards
Djamel

Hi Djamel ,
1. Purpose of Material Ledger Run (CKMLCP) is to calculate actual cost of the product .. and you can update material master with actual cost ( optional step).SAP uses weighted average methord when calculating actual cost.
2. Purpose of Alternate Valuation Run (CKMLCPAVR) is to have a actual cost for analysis purpose . You can use weighted average methord or use can use FIFO , LIFO valuation methord also . Ifd you want to use LIFO/FIFO methord .. you have to configure LIFO/FIFO customization and use the standard BADI give in the SPRO menu .
3. CKMLCP and CKMLCPAVR have no depencies and you can run that for same plant .. or you can run anyone of them . Both the purposes are different .
4. On the screen of CKMLCPAVR I don't have nothing in Creat Cost estimate ?? Implement SAP Note 659447 - No process steps in AVR cockpit ... it will solve your issues .
5. For CKMLCP.. OBYC settings are as per transaction key "BSX" ... OSS Note : 908737 - Post Closing in Material Ledger
6. CKMLCPAVR -- OBYC settings are as per transaction key "BSD " .. as if required manual entry has to be done to have actual costs . So , inventory account must have manual updation tick in GL master
7. To sum -up... OBYC settings you have to do for CKMLCPAVR and any valuation approach you use other than default SAP weighted avergae methord ( LIFO or FIFO)
Hope it clarifies ... Do revert bac for any further clarifications..

Alternative Valuation Run x IFRS depreciation

Hi All
Is there anyone here who has implemented this kind of solution by running the CKMLCPAVR (alternative valuation run) to find a new actual price by using a different depreciation method (IFRS) ?
This is one of the requirements for south american companies to report for IFRS.
Regards

Hi Ramos,
yes, I know of customers who use the AVR for this purpose. Currently there is an enhancement in the deveopment queue to better align AVR with newGL. Aim is to direct AVR postings to the ledger of choice.
I could connect you with a colleague if you need more info on that.

Actual Costing: Alternative valuation : "Relevant for Costing" indicator

Hi:
We are using alternative valuation in our Actual Costing
We would like to know the use of the "Relevant for Costing" indicator. (XPCP field).
Documentation said: "If you set this indicator, the results of the alternative valuation run can be used in the standard cost estimate for the material." But there is not a clear explanation in the online doc or other info sites.
How does it works? What is the exact meaning of "can be used in Standard cost estimate"?
How can we get these values from Product Cost planning?
Best Regards:
Manuel

Manuel,
If that Field is checked, it should update the Planned Price in the Costing 2 Tab of the Material Master Record. I did not try this though.

What is the use of valuation class in Finished Material Master?
Thanks of Advance

hi,
this is to inform you that,
generally 7920 - will be the valuation class for the finished goods.
Allows the stock values of materials of the same material type to be posted to different G/L accounts & vice versa.
this is an integration field which identifies the G/L accounts & goods movement types.

Create non-valuated material using MMU1 and MM01

Hi MM expertise,
To create non-valuated material, we need to use standard SAP transaction MMU1.
Earlier on, I created the non-valuated material using MM01. Want to know any impact and different between MM01 and MMU1.
Regards,
sim

mm01 is for creating the material code for all types of materials.
mmu1 is only for non valuated material.
if u want u can check in mmu1 u dont finf the material type selction option, where as u find it in mm01.

VPRS incorrect cost when using Split Valuation

Hello,
We are using split valuation thus each valuation type has a separate moving average price. When creating a billing doc, my pricing procedure is called which includes VPRS. The problem is the cost returned is not for the correct valuation type which is passed in the billing document (Field BWTAR). The cost returned in pricing is the moving average without any valuation type. Does anyone know of any configuration to calculate VPRS based on the batch/valuation type provided in the billing document?
My pricing procedure includes condition VPRS which is set to SUTOT = B, Reqt = 4 and statistical. The condition type is set to defaults (Cond Class = B, Calculation Type = C, Condition Category = G). The article master has field Price Control set to V and split valuation is enabled.
The billing document type being used is FP (POS Interface)
The item category is DLN
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Pierre

Hello Pierre
I am not totally knowledgeable on this subject but want to give my best shot.
I think you need to ensure that the system takes (redetermines) the cost from Valuation segment in the material master.
1) So make the cond category a T (Moving price). Don't change VPRS but copy it and set up ZPRS and then use it in the pricing procedure as an alternative to VPRS.
2) You may also need to work on the copy control- Item cat level- especially Pricing Rules- Probably you need to set up a custom one which says 'keep manual prices as they are, but redetermine cost". Then you need to set up USEREXIT_PRICING_RULE from Program RV61AFZA to make this work. . Use OSS note 24832 to set up your new pricing rule.
3) Also check out 'Price Source' field- in copy control again- to see if it helps you achieve your objective.
Also about VPRS, OSS note 547570 says "If the condition control (KSTEU) is set to 'H', the cost was taken from the goods issue. If it set to 'A', it was redetermined from the valuation segment of the material master, in case of 'D' or 'E' it was copied from the preceding document:. But I don't know how you can use this information.
Go through these OSS notes and those mentioned within for a good idea of VPRS.
372772 - How does the system determine the cost?
547570 - FAQ: VPRS in pricing
24832 - Pricing rules / TVCPF
371844 - Correction of incorrect costs
372760 - Several problems with VPRS
Hope this helps, Let me know.

Alternative valuation for projects

Hello everyone,
We have a multiple ledger set-up, where we copy actual values to a plan version, run distributions and allocations, calculate plan prices for activities and finally run the AVR cockpit. In this way, COGS and stock values for non-project production are determined for this parallel ledger.
However, in addition to discrete manufacturing, we also have ETO projects. These projects collect material and activity costs and WIP is calculated and posted for them. I presume the AVR cockpit takes care of material costs, but how does one go about applying activity plan prices to projects and calculating and posting WIP for them in the parallel ledger?
Thanks.

Hi Djamel ,

Follow-UP Material Functionality into MRP Run

Hi
i wanted to just know anout the Functionality of Follow up material into MRP run .
how it would be help in case of MRP run , if i will use Follow-up Material.

Pankaj Agarwal

Hi
i wanted to just know about the Funtinality of Follow up material into Specialy MRP run.
Whether system will consider the parrallal Material Stock and Open PO if we are considering the
A (1 nos) FG is having X (1 nos) Material is current part and Y is followup material for the Same with Indicator 1.
Suppose X-200 nos and Y -700 nos (Open PO also 200 nos)
then after MRP run suppose for A FG requirment is 1500 than is system will consider the Y-700 + Y-200(Open PO) and give the PR for X is only 400.

I have a MacBook Pro running Lion. I need to use Lion to run my Dragon. I would like to partition my drive to use Maverick for everything but the dictation software. I'm a new pie to apple

I have a MacBook Pro running Lion. I need to use Lion to run my Dragon. I would like to partition my drive to use Mavericks for everything but the dictation software. I'm a newbie to apple

To resize the drive do the following:
1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
After the main menu appears select Disk Utility and click on the Continue button. Select the hard drive's main entry then click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
2. You should see the graphical sizing window showing the existing partitions. A portion may appear as a blue rectangle representing the used space on a partition.
3. In the lower right corner of the sizing rectangle for each partition is a resizing gadget. Select it with the mouse and move the bottom of the rectangle upwards until you have reduced the existing partition enough to create the desired new volume's size. The space below the resized partition will appear gray. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed. (Note: You can only make a partition smaller in order to create new free space.)
4. Click on the [+] button below the sizing window to add a new partition in the gray space you freed up. Give the new volume a name, if you wish, then click on the Apply button. Wait until the process has completed.
You should now have a new volume on the drive.
It would be wise to have a backup of your current system as resizing is not necessarily free of risk for data loss. Your drive must have sufficient contiguous free space for this process to work.
