Split valuation and price control

Dear all,
Case :the price control for mat'l type MAIN is defined as S in IMG,
mat'l no.A with mat'l type MAIN,
test 1:
In plant 01, A with price control S
In plant 02, A with price control V, valuation category X, problem is when I create a PO in plant 02 with mat'l A,when goods receipt, the accounting docs is wrong(D:price difference, C:GR/IR), the debit should be inventory account, it should not hv price diff with price control V under this situation,
test 2,
In plant 02, A with price control V, without valuation category,the acounting document when goods receipt is correct.
test 3,
changed the price control for mat'l type MAIN to V in IMG,
In plant 02, A with price control V, valuation category X, when goods receipt , the accounting document is correct also.
I doubt why this happen, do the split valuation or valuation category X effect?or there's any priority abt price control?
Urgent, can anyone instruct me? thanks in advance, will assign points, thanks.
kathy

Hi, Kathy:
The price control in master data of material have the priority.
Besides, I guess the error happened is due to the incorrect valuation area configuration. If your valuation area is set to company code level, the system will use the same valuation method within a company code.
In this case, you need to set the valuation area as plant level to differentiate the valuation methods between different plants.
Hope it's helpful for you!

Split valuated material price change at header level (without val. Type)

Hi All,
Need to change Split valuated Material Price at Header level (without val. type).
In MR21 valuation type is mandetory for split valuated material.
Please suggest on changing Material price without val. type.
Thanks

You have to advise the users who create accounting views to enter a valid price when they create a material master. Maybe you need to make use of the user exit to prevent saving when no price (or a dummy 0,01) is entered.
It is not possible to change the header price with any SAP given transaction, as it could cause inconsistencies if you dont take care about the stocks at valuation type level.
you may have to deveope an own report on own risk. I personally have the opinion that it is more secure to post stock and reverse it again (which just creates to accounting documents that equalize each other, no remaining value anywhere) than going the risk with an own program to screw up the valuation of a material in general

Material maintained in split valuation and batch management

Dear Seniors,
I have maintained a material with both split valuation and batch management. If i check in MMBE, only batch management is getting preference. Valuation type is not coming. Why is it so ? why maintaining both is not possible in SAP ??? kindly explain me please.
Regards,
JanaMM

If you Mantain both Split valuation as well as batch mgmt for a material, then all stock reports will show "Batch " and Not valuation type since batch is relevant to inventory mgmt and split valuation is relevant for account determination and valuation. , the only report which wil show you both is BMBC(batch info cockpit).
You can however run MB5B w.r.t valuation type in the input screen.
In such cases , The Valuation Type forms a part of the batch master which you can see in MSC3N .

MATERIAL LEDGER AND PRICE CONTROL V

Hi Gurus.
In a Plant I've activated material ledger and some materials have price control V. how does price control V works with material ledger? the average price is uptated at the end of the month or is updated with every receipt?
Kind Regards.

Hi Andres,
What is the price determination indicator in material master? is it 3 or 2?
Materail ledger during the Actaul Costing Run consider only the price determination indicator 3 material masters.
Generally all BOM component material masters, we should maintain price determination indicator 3 and price control S.
All other materials you can have price determination indicator 2 and price control V.

Material split valuation and costing

Hi All,
We are using ECC6.0.
We have activated split valuation for some matetrials and have
maintained valuation category {"E"} as per requirement of the customer.
Valuation Types that are maintained are : INH for Inhouse Production
and "SUB" for Sub Contracting.
We are facing following Problems:
(1) We are not able to activate the Costing Views at Valuation Type
Level and hence the requirements of the customer to do the valuation
based on Price Available at Valuation Type Level( i.e. at INH & SUB )
is not possible and so to meet the requirement we must activate costing
view at Valuation type level.
(2) As recomonded by SAP all Semi finished goods are maintained at
price control indicator "S". We have activated split valuation for some
of the semi finished goods also and hence we are not able to create the
Semi Finished Goods having Price control indicator as "S" at header
level. The system is throwing the message saying: Only price
control "V" is possible for split valuation;Message no. M3185. But the
customer wants to create all Semi Finished Goods having price control
indicator as "S" at header level.
<b>(3) While running standerd cost estimate(CK11N or CK40N) the system is
not picking the rate maintained at Valuation Type Level i. e.
either "INH" or "SUB". It is picking the price from the header level of
the material master which is basically average of all the prices
available at Valuation type Level (The price appearing at MAP field at
higher level) .</b>
Your Early reply is awaited.
Thanks & Regards,
Bijay Kumar Deo

(1) We are not able to activate the Costing Views at Valuation Type Level
True - Costing view will associate with the header level only. The ONLY material master views that will associate with valuation type is Accounting 1 and 2 - to allow inventory valuation at that level.
(2) As recommended by SAP all Semi finished goods are maintained at price control indicator "S".The system is throwing the message saying: Only price control "V" is possible for split valuation.
True - only moving average is available at the header level because inventory is value only at the Valuation Type Level. The header represents the "Total qty" of material on hand (for ALL valuation types) and the standard price you see is the average value of that quantity, it is for reference only, not use in inventory valuation.
3) While running standard cost estimate(CK11N or CK40N) the system is not picking the rate maintained at Valuation Type Level i. e. either "INH" or "SUB".
True - CK11 and CK40 work with "header data" You were unable to activate Costing 1 and 2 for Valuation types - therefore there is no "place" for cost estimates.
Cost estimate data is maintained it the tables KEKO and KEPH - these tables do not have the key field "valuation type" - there for you cannot create it.
In standard Costing - you must pick one method as the standard by which to procure and value the inventory and the other method of procuring inventory creates values at standard and generates variance.

Split Valuation- Net Price Problem in Po

Dear All,
       The Split Valuation confiigured for Material as
       Val Type(A)- Ex Procurement
       Val Type(B)- Internal House Production.
assigned Valuation Category(C) with A & B and with Plant.
In Material Master Accounting view enter all the reqired inputs
First i Created PR and its ok and go for PO, it asking " net Price" and entered the Net Price, again it showing error msg " net price greater than 0.
Note: for this material PIR, Source List require or not.
       so what i done a mistake? and can any one explain it.
Thanks

net price always remains exclusive freight/delivery cost.
the freight/delivery cost gets added on the net price
so going by logic the calculation which ur system is showing is perfect.
"Re PO: As per you, only net value will be displayed in PO and effective price will not display . why?"
this is becoz it shows the price of that particular material per unit.

indranil

*How to change the Valuation Category & Price control in material master*

Hello SAP Gurus,
I have a requirement to change the valuation category from 'X' to ' ' in accounting view of material master.
-> I have cancelled all the open PO's & SO's for the material
-> I have ensured that there is no stock for the material in that valuation area.
But still I get an error message that batch already exists for the material. When I check entries in MCHB I find that there are previous entires in MCHB with zero stock.
I have gone through the SAP note 155874 which recomends the archiving the effected objects.
Please let me know is there any work around to change the valuation category from 'X' to ' ' & price control 'V' to 'S'. I also need to change from ' ' to 'X' for a few materials.
Thanks for your advise.
Best Regards,
Narayan.

Note 155874 cleary describes what has to be done to be able to change.
There is no workaround, and if you change anything in the tables directly, then this will cause inconsitencies, as described in this note as well.

Split Valuation: changing price

All SAP gurus,
We are maintained split valuation for raw materials.
For this we have created two separate valuation classes namely 3000 and 3001 for domestic and imported materials.
While creting material master record, we have entered valuation category as split valuation in accounting 1 view, but wwe have not maintained moving average price here.
Then we extended the same material for two different valuation categories, and also maintained their respective prices.
But we have not uploaded the stock for this material so system is not picking up the price.
Now we are unable to change the price as moving avg price field becomes gray.
Also in MR21 system ask for valuation category.
can we change the material price without uploading the stock?
Please reply.
Regards,

hi,
You can't chsnge it till you move the stock to other place or remove the stock...
For spplit valuation mostly MAP is only used....
hope it helps...

Split valuation for material with two different price indicator S and V

Hello Gurus,
Is it possible to maintain split valuation for same material with two different price indicator S and V.
For Ex. Material A is manufactured can be manufactured in house , procured from outside vendor and can be purchased from subcontracting vendor by providing raw material.
We want to keep Price control V for same material " A" which is procured from outside vendor.
And price control S for inhouse produced same material " A".
Besically this material is semifinished and having BOM for subcontracting.
Please advice.

Hi
When the material is split valuated, you maintain the accounting view for the material 1st with valuation category, here the price control should be V.
When you will extend the material to valuation type "Inhouse mfgd" maintain the price control as S, for valuation type "Procured form outside vendor" maintain it as V.

Split valuation - Header Material - Price det. 3 - Matl. ledger active

Hi,
We have split valuation along with Material ledger and Actual costing active.
My client wants to keep price determination 3 / V for Header Material as it defaults 3 / S while creating subbordinate materials i.e., by valuation types.
Per SAP, the requirement is Price determination 2 and Price control is V for Header Material.
My client questions, what is wrong in keeping 3 in Header level?
Do you have any input for this? as I have only answer, as it's the standard configuration and impact unknown.
Ashok

Hi Ashok ,
The materials with split valuation are there in the MM valuation tables MBEW, EBEW, QBEW with the field 'valuation type' BWTAR filled . The header segment (with field valuation type blank) is only for intermal use of the system .
For such materials with valuation type blank (the header segment of material with split valuation) in Material Ledger only the table CKMLPR contains information, the rest of the tables are empty .
The header segment has always price control V. However, the price of the header segment is NOT a moving average price. It is the weighted average price of all valuation types.
Therefore with a Split valuation scenario the materials are recorded in the system with the field BWTAR not blank and with its own price control independently of the header segment
Hence , i think its immaterial of what ever Price Determination you put in Material Master for header material and hence SAP has recommended "2" for the same . Having Price Determination "3" will not have any impact.. i believe...

Advantages and disadvantages of Activating Split Valuation

Hi,
Can anyone tell me about the advantages and disadvantages of activating split valuation and how it impact in CO module.

hi,
You need to do a split valuation for a material when you come across any of the below mentioned scenario
1> when there is a difference in country of origin for the material
2> when there are different grades of quality( 1st quality / 2nd quality ) for the same material
3> when the material has to be differentiated between in-house production and external procurement
4> to differentiate between the different deliveries......
when you don activate split valuation ,,
under any case the material will be priced with the same standard price even if its an external procurement at a higher cost.. the values are fetched automatically from the material master,.

Transport of Number range and release proceure and split valuation

Dear Gurus,
Can we transport number ranges from PRD server to Quality Server?
Also, how will we trasport split valuation and release procedure?
Kindly suggest..

Hi
Number ranges you have to create directly as it is not transportable.
For release Strategy details, all your Release config details are transported Except for the below details
1. Characteristics & values assigned to it ( master data)
2. Class & assigned characteristics to it (master data)
3. Values/ranges inside the Release strategies ( classification details).
These three details are to be recreated/assigned in the client you intend to work upon.

Estimation process while split valuation is active

Hello friends
Is there other configuration required when materials valuated using split valuation .. ?
while estimating the cost of finish product , other components like semi-finish materials , and raw materials are valuated at split valuation . how system will know which price it has to pick .
Examlpe :- one semi finish material valuated at 3 levels 01, 02, 03 .
in material master without valuation type price control is V      233.00      procurement type X
IN valuation type 01 price control V                                               250.00
but in valuation type 02 price control is S                                     150.00
and in valuation type 03 price control is S                                    180.00
now while estimating cost for finish product , which price system will consider .
i think i have to use valuation price with user exit - setting available in okk4 valuation variant
Thanks in advanvance .

HI,
the main question (from your first posting) is: "how system will know which price it has to pick . "
As BOM does not contain the information which split-valuated segment of a material should be considered during plan cost estimation (only the material is known, but not the batch) its up to you to define the rules for which valuation-segemnt price has to be picked.
Best regards, Christian

Activating Split Valuation

Hello SAP Experts,
What is split valuation and whats is the use of split valuation .
Also can we use split valuation at Material Code level.As we have some material codes that has already been created and which we pocured Localy and import as well.
Also what are the configuration required and once activated how do the system identify that material is local or imported material , while posting any goods movement (101 and others etc.).
Also while creating the new material with split valuation what are the steps to be followed.
Best Regards,
MM

Hi gollu,
Please find process for Split valuation
Valuation category is used if you want to have a split valuation i.e. you have an option of differentiating partial stocks of material according to particular criteria & handling them differently regarding valuation within a plant.
Why Required? : 1)Your valuation of in-house & external procurement may be different
2) Distinguish based on Quality so value
3)Different batches have different value
Valuation category could be In House/External , Indian / Imported
Following configuration reqd.
1)In global setting we have to define Valuation category( Say P-Procurement) & Valuation type( Int. / Ext)
2) Active split valuation in MM
3) Assign valuation type to category in customizing
5) In Material Master enter valuation category in accounting view & choose price control V
6) Extend Material Master view for both valuation type
7) valuation category to be active /assign for plant
8) In local definition Define Valuation category to Valuation area.
Then for every transaction (Valuation relevant) may be GR, GI, and Phy. Inventory you must mention valuation type during transaction to get your material valuated separately.
This is all about split valuation configuration.
create a valuation category as orgin H
In our case you can create two valuation class
1.LOCAL
2.IMPORT
