Stock but non-valuated material with FOC flag in PO but system asking for..

Dear all,
We have create a new material type which is stock but non-valuated material masters which measn in the "Qty Updating" checkbox is checked, while the "value updating" checkbox is unchecked.
Our process is when we create PO of this item, we will flag the "FOC" checkbox in the PO line item in ME21N.
However, when I perform the above step, i hits the following error message:
Account assignment mandatory for material 40000010 (enter acc. ***. cat.)
Message no. ME062
Diagnosis
There is no provision for value-based inventory management for this material type in this plant. Account assignment is thus necessary.
Procedure
Please enter an account assignment category.
Question, why system still want me to key in an account assignment category and with GL and cost center? this is suppose to be a Free of Charge item with the above setup and procedure?
Please advise.
Thanks.
Tuffy

Hello Kate,
Our goal is the user does not need to key in any GL account and cost center as it is FREE. which is why we have a customized material type solely for material like this (see my previous writing).
Does it means, I need to create an customized account assignment category with consumption posting using "V", and checked the Goods receipt checkbox, and checked the GR Non-Valuated checkbox ?
thanks.

Non Valuated material accounting posting

Hi friends ,
While reading the help of NON Valuated material ...I come across the below statement.
"The stock of a given material is only managed on a quantity basis, an account assignment must be defined in the purchase order. However, this account assignment does not result in the goods receipt being posted to consumption/usage. Instead, it results in the costs being debited to the account assignment object."
From this statement , my expectation was ...
In case of VALUATED MATERIAL (like spares etc) and Account assignment K in PO , system will automatically determine the GL from OBYC against GBB / VBR keys , but here at my end system is not picking this GL in PO line item and asking me to enter the GL along with Cost center and other account assignment details.
Similar details like GL and account assignment is asked by system for NON Valuated material also.
In both cases , entered GL is getting debitted ... therefore looking for the perfect explaintaion of SAP HELP statement given above.
Regards
Shrey

Ok ...
Now my understanding is like
In case of VALUATED MATERIAL with Account Assiged PO (say K) , system will pick the GL automatically from GBB / VBR and in case of NON VALUATED MATERIAL with Account Assigned PO (Say K) , system WILL NOT pick any GL and You have enter it Manually in PO line detail (Account Assignment Tab).
AND IN BOTH CASES GL in PO Line item ( Account Assignment) will get debitted and GR/IR gets Credited at the time of MIGO.
The Only advantage of using NON VALUATED material is ...... system will also update Qty and which can issue to any cost center in future ( to track Qty ) ........
BUT IN CASE I remove "QTY UPDATE" tick from NON-VALUATED Material type ( for my valuation Area) , then I am expecting system will not update any Qty and in THAT CASE BOTH material type (VALUATED AND NON VALUATED) will behave in similar manner , except (automatic) GL determination at PO level.
is this right ?

Shrey

Initial entry stock (561) is valuated for non-valuated material

Hi Gurus,
I am doing initial entry of stock balance (MvT 561) for several non-valuated material. But when I check the table MSEG, I got status of "X" in the field MSEG-WERTU, which mean the material is valuated. The consequence is the value is updated, so I get inconsistency in stock (stock value is updated, table MBEW)
So how can I can get valuated when I done my first initial entry of stock balance for non-valuated material?
How can I trace, where did I go wrong?
I have checked these:
- I checked the material type, and it is properly configured (quantity update only).
- No changes have been made in the material type.
- No changes have been made in the material master data.
Please help, and thanks!

Total Stock in Accounting View for Non valuated material

Hi,
There is one plant 1050 which is non valuated (only Qty updation ).I maintained accounting view with value 0. I will do 501 movement.
It is showing me in MMBE tcode.
But when I go to check in accounting view it is zero.If it is non valuated whether stock gets updated in Accounting view of material master or not.
This problem we are facing at client location.
Please help me in understanding.
Regards
Raghavendra Pai

Hi,
It is not a problem, this is standard SAP, since the material is non valuated, you could not see the stock in Accounting view.
Normally for non valuated material, no need to maintain accounting view. Even if you maintain stock will not be reflected in that view.

Prabu

Stock Transport Order for non valuated material

Hello,
I am creating a Stock Transport Order for non-valuated material. I posted GI for STO mvt 351 and it decreases stock from issuing Storage Location, however when I am posting GR for STO mvt 101 the Storage Location field is not there in MIGO and after posting the quantity does not increase in receiving Storage Location which is not expected. Note that both issuing and receiving Plants are the same and the material type has quantity update in the Plant.
Also in the STO the system is asking for Account Assignment Category which I do not need because there are no transportation costs. Can i overcome that ?
Thanks,
Wael

Hi,
The quantity update is set for the material type in the plant as I mentioned. Also since both issuing and receiving plants are identical and there is stock in the issuing SLoc this means quantity update is active.
Thanks

Stock transfer requisition for non-valuated material

Dear SAP gurus,
We are using non-valuated materials extensively in our company; and we are having scenario where people in one plant would need to request material from other plant. We will use Stock Transfer Requisition for this.
However I found one strange thing. When we create Requisition for stock transfer (item category U) for a non-valuated material, I got error message asking me to put valuation price. This puzzle me because this is obviously a non-valuated materials where we dont even have accounting view for this material.
Please help.
John.

Hi,
Think on suggestions given by other expert.However till that time you check whether it takes "Zero value".If so put it .Any way its non valuated material.At least your work will strart.

Account determination for non-valuated material

hi,
I have configured account determination for non-valuated material when I try to post the Invoice then error come that GR/IR account required for posting. but my GR is Non valuated so GR/IR account would be ignore then why required GR/IR account by system at the time of Invoice.

You have to understand the difference between GR non valuated and non-valuated stock
Non- valuated stock has following attributes
1. Value update should not be flagged in the material type and valuation area combination (OMS2)
2. That means the stock will not have inventory values and further good movements after GR would not have accounting document
3. Non- valuated stock material can have GR valuated or GR non valuated ,depends on tick /untick of GR non valuated field in the purchase order under delivery tab.
4 . Material type does not have any control on GR non valuated .It is controlled by account assignment category or item category or manually in the purchasing documents.
Scenario 1:
in your case if you have created PO with non-valuated material and without GR -non valuated flag ,there must be an accounting document in GR as follows
GBB     - Consumption account - Debit
WRX - GR/IR account - credit
and if you do invoice ,you would have following accounting entries
WRX - GR/IR    - debit
vendor-           - credit
Scenario 2:
IF you have created PO with +non- valuated material + and flagged + GR non- valuated+ in PO, then GR will not have any accounting entries and MIRO will have following accounting entries
Vendor -     credit
GBB - consumption account - debit
let me know if you have any concern

Moving Average Price for Non-Valuated Material

Hello Experts
The question may seem to be quirky but need your advice for the below.
My client is buying non-valuated material against a cost center, they do not want to keep the stocks valuated. No value update only quantity update. The accounting documents are the following when the GR is done by receiving folks
Qty of material XYZ goods receipted = 10
Debit     Consumption GL   12345678       10 USD          Cost Center ABC123 (This is a warehouse cost center)
Credit    GR/IR account                            10 USD
Qty of mateiral XYZ issued = 5
The goods are later on issued to Production cost center and the client was the below entries to be passed with MOVING AVERAGE PRICE.
Debit    Consumption GL 12345678           6 USD          Cost Center ABC456 (This is production Cost center)
Credit   Consumption GL 12345678           6 USD          Cost Center ABC123 (This is warehouse cost center)
I am aware that as this is a non valuated material the above entry is not possible. Maybe, I will use BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST for the generating the accounting document when the goods are issued from warehosue to production center.
My question is how can i get the moving average price.
Regards
Chokkalingam Pillai

you can have an accounting view for non-valuated materials, this helps for example with purchase requisitions as they could take the valuation price from the material master and the user does not need to enter a valuation manually.
But the material master moving average price cannot be calculated and updated automatically, as it is not foreseen in any standard program to do this for cost center procurement, since SAP only calculates a MAP for valuated stocks.
Further it is not logical to issue non-valuated stock valuated (even with a different price) from cost center to cost center.
It looks like you want to have a kind of internal billing for warehouse services, as you end up with a negative amount in the warehouse cost center which is then the profit.
Why don't you just create a report to run at the end of the month, listing all goods issue movements with their cost centers and taking the price from last PO (or from material master if you decide to maintain it manually) and use this for a manual cost center posting in CO module

Sales - Dummy Plant for Non-Valuated Material

Dear Gurus,
I have a requirement for SD implementation where the business involves non-valuated material.
The sales scenario does not required data on stock to be captured in the system.
There are 5 sites to where the same material is supplied from.
Hence, the sales documents to be configured are sales order and order-related billing.
However, the following requirements are also included in the sales scenario:
1. Generate a sales report, with sales order data extracted by sites where the material is supplied from.
2. Product price for the same material differs, because it depends on the site that the material is supplied from.
I have thought of using a dummy plant to cater for this scenario.
Seeking your advice whether this is a good practise for this case.
Batch management has also been suggested to me.
However, per my reading, batch management is closely related to goods issue (which is not in scope).
I would appreciate your advice on this matter.
TQ,
HJMY
Edited by: HJMY on Apr 13, 2011 6:38 PM

Hai,
To involve Non valuated material in SAP, instead of creating Dummy plant, create a Non valuated material type NV0102003. Through material master it can be easily achieved by creating a material type without Accounting tab.
So in SAP system the stock will be shown but without any financial impact, and stock also can be monitored thro system.
In MM01 every thing is common between the finished goods and Non valuated goods.
Automatic batch management will be determined in Delivery order creation.
Since you created the material you can maintain the rate with the plant combination.
and sales report can be generated with the delivery plant combination

Non valuated material and free materials

hi,
friends
pl provide me the difference between non valuated and free materials.
thanks
durga prasd

Hi Durga Prasad
Free material: These materials are valuated ,but we procure it free of charge.So while creating a PO for free materials then in the PO we can check the Free of charge indicator.Then if you do a GR aganist this PO,there are 2 scenarios ie
If the material is valuated at moving average price,then there will not be any accounting documents at the time of GR.But the moving average price gets recalculated since your stock level increases.
If the material is valuated at Standard price,then accounting documents gets generated at the time of GR even if its frree of charge delivery.
If we dont have a PO,then also if we want to do GR for free material,then this can be donr using the movement type 511.Transaction code is MIGO.Goods receipt with reference to others
Non -Valuated Material:This type of material is not valuated in any valaution areas.
(But if you are refering to non valuated material type(UNBW) then its different scenario)
Hope this will help you
Reward if useful
Thanks and Regards

Non valuated material GR

here i have to receive the goods from the customer and i have to give Receipt for that, the material is non valuated, i have to just do job work on that material.
for giving receipt i tried considering the customer as vendor and i made the material as non valuated, and i extended the purchasing view for non valuated material.
i thought of creating the purchase order for that material with separate document type and taking the printout and giving to the vendor(Customer).
But here i am not able to create PO system is throwing this error
Account assignment mandatory for material CxXXXXXXXXX (enter acc. ***. cat.)
Message no. ME062
Diagnosis
There is no provision for value-based inventory management for this material type in this plant. Account assignment is thus necessary.
Procedure
Please enter an account assignment category.

Hi
For Non-valuated material type, only quantity-updated indicator is set ie. once GR is posted, the account assignment that you have defined in your account assigned PO will be debited with the costs ie. a valuated goods receipt for a purchase order with account assignment will generate a posting line for the consumption account 'Account-assigned purchase order' (KBS) and for the GR/IR Clearing Account WRX and in this case the goods receipt is posted to the warehouse and increases the unrestricted-use stock of the material. Hence a goods receipt of non-valuated materials directly to the consumption is not possible.
So Maintain Account Assignment Category as "K" and then create Po and do GR.
Regards
Anand

Account assignment for Non valuated Material

Dear All,
Please guide how to create PR & PO for non valuated material.
Regards,
Manish Jain

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-valuated goods receipt
At the time of the goods receipt, postings to the consumption account do not take place. The posting to the GR/IR clearing account is therefore not applicable. With invoice receipt, the consumption account is debited with the invoice amount. The offsetting entry is posted to the vendor account.

Pardeep Malik
