Valuation class change

Hello Experts,
we have a crazy situation. When materials were loaded they were loaded as Raw materials and costed. Later they realized that it was a mistake. So user changed the valuation class to semi and recosted with different price. Because of the price difference we had accounting documents. When we run F.01 it shows semi finished values. In the MB5L report it shows raw materials. Is there any way to get these perpetual inventory reports back in synch?
Thanks in advance.

hi venkat,
Valuation class are based on MATERIAL TYPE A/c Cat Ref,  not like user can assign directly any valuation class on material master
Please revisit your account determination and do more analysis on your issue.
thanks

  • Material Valuation Class Changes

    Hi All
    For the Material Valuation class changes it is showing one open IMPORT PO.
    For the Import PO the GRN & INVOICES are completed for the total qty. During the deletion of this PO it is giving error message Invoices pending for delivery costs (function not possible)
    Because there is difference of Rs 1800 through IR.

    Thanks in advance

  • Valuation class changes for open orders

    what are the reason SAP doesn't recommend to change the Valuation class for open orders or when the  material is in transit.

    Hi,
    System will not allow to change the Valuation classes of a Material in the Following cases:
    1. Material Stock should be zero. If any stock is there it wont allow to change vc.
    2. Material should not have any open Purchase Requisitions/ Purchase orders/ Reservations etc.
    So, If if you want to change the Valuation class Transfer allthe stock of the material to another plant and delete all the related Transactions.

    Hi,
    it is not possible, to change the valuation class for any material, once a stock entry is passed in the system.( even thought the stock you have made zero )
    if you try to change it in MM02,  an error log shows, please go thr' it. it shows open items or transactions, due to which we can't
    change valuation class.
    please check other option, instead of changing valuation class.

  • Valuation Class Wraning Message - ME127

    Hi All,
    As per our business, particular material is maintianed for valuation type Z01 (In-House production) and not maintianed for Z02 (External procurement). During creation of STO accroding to customization the valuation type Z02 gets defaulted in the PO. we implemented the User exit EXIT_SAPMM06E_016 so that the Valuation class changes to Z01 (for STO Process) automatically.
    Inspite the valuation class is changed, we get the massage that the Valuation Class Z02 is not maintianed for the Material "Message ME127".
    Is there any way to suppress this.
    Thanks for good replies.

    Hi
    As you are using split valuation, & you have maintained the valuation type Z01 - this will not allow for External ptrocurement ( Such as raising the PO).
    You need to extend the material master to the Valaution type Z02 (external procurement).
    You will not be able to suppress the message.
    Or else in the customization of valaution types for Z01  - make the setting in Global types as for Ext. Purchase Orders to 1- External purchase orders allowed, but warning issued
    This will allow you to use the Z01 valuation type, No requirement of using the Enhancement also.
    Thanks & Regards

  • Changeing Valuation class-what happens to deleted open docs.

    Hello,
    we are planning to change the valuation class for material. In order to change the class we would have to delete all open items that trace back to the material (PO, GR, IR). I run me2m to identify the open documents for that material.
    My issue is when I reverse or delete the IR, GR, and PO what happens to the those documents.? We have documents that go back to 2007.
    Do we have to recreate the PO, GR, IR after we change the class.?What are the long term effects when doing this change (Audit)?
    Please advise.
    Thanks.

    You don't need to worry about old documents as long as they are not open.
    You just need to invoice out all the open GRs or cancel all those GRs. In case of POs, you have to ensure the GR qty is equal to IR qty for each PO line, then you can mark the line as deleted so that the system will allow you to change the val. class. You also need to make the stock to zero.
    Once val. Class is changed, you can undo all the above.

  • Change Valuation class

    We have a need to change the valuation class of the material master with tcode MM02, and the material has a lot of open Purchase Orders and Sales orders, and many batches created for this material.  This material use by many countries, and we cannot replace it with a new material number for my plant.
    System issue message Valaution class cannot be changed because of a lot of open doc and batches exists,  in this situation how to change the Valuaiton class, it will be quite impossible to delete all those open doc and batches. ?? What can we do in order to change the valuaiton class of the material master MM02.??

    Hi,
    You have to eliminate those problems that is reported by SAP.
    E.g.:
    - no stock in current and previous period has to exist (eliminate stock: MB1A201posting date in the past; reset stock level: MB1A+202)
    - transactional data has to be deleted
    - if there are goods movement in current period you have to cancel all of them or you have to wait till the first day of the next period
    If you want to change valuation category as well, you have to archive batch master records.
    This is not an easy thing to do, you may face several difficulties...
    Mass transaction can be used if you have several transactional data to delete (check transaction MASS)
    You can search for threads on this forum or for OSS notes too.

  • Mass change of material's valuation classes

    Dear all,
    Our client has an incorrect MM accounting determination because the customizing for the OBYC was not properly definied initally. This issue is causing many problems in accounting since the accounts are not being correctly determined,
    After being analyzed the situation we have concluded that the best way to correct the problem is to define a new classification of valuation classes and link it to new valuation grouping code which will be assigned progressively to all the plants in the system, activating immediately the new accounting determination.
    Since the system is already live,the change will need to be done directly in production environment. As you all know, in order to change the valuation class of the material we need to post the stocks of the material to an interim account in order to be able to change the valuation class of the material.
    Since it would be very complicate at this point of the project (we are running out of time) to flag for deletion all the existing open purchase orders/production orders, we will switch the error message for them  to a warning in the material master as suggested by the system.
    And here it comes my quetion, many of the plants have WM and we are not sure which the required steps are to allow as to post the stocks to the materials to an interim account and either how to do it technically (we are talking about 50.000 materials).
    Any suggestion will be very appreaciated.
    Thank you very much for your help!!!

    not sure of PM, you might want to ask that in the PM forum ... but i should think, that if you stopped all posting during that process there should not be any impact with your equipments ... or do you have something special going there with BOMs/configuration?
    special stock: i would do it that way.

  • Valuation class of material master to be changed

    Hello,
    My master data team has insereted a wrong valuation class in the material master record. Purchase order has been raised and a GR has been done for the same. SAP gives following steps to change the valuation class:
    The valuation class cannot be changed, choose 'Display error'
    Message no. M3368
    "Diagnosis
    You wanted to change the valuation class. However, this is not possible because one or more of the following already exist for the material:
    Valuated stocks in the current period or in the previous period
    Open purchase orders or delivery schedule lines
    Production orders for which a goods movement has already taken place
    System response
    Your change is reset by the system.
    Procedure
    If valuated stocks already exist, you can change the valuation class only as follows:
    a) Post the stocks of the material to an interim account.
    b) Change the valuation class in the material master record.
    c) Post the stocks of the material back to their original account.
    If open purchase orders already exist, you can only change the valuation class if you first flag the corresponding purchase order items for deletion.
    If production orders exist for which a goods movement has already taken place, you can only change the valuation class if you first set the status of the production orders to Deleted."
    My question is how do I post the stocks to an interim account since stock accounts are configured to post automatically?
    If anyone knows how to manage the posting, please let me know.
    Thanks
    Keyur

    Hi,
    Make the movement with a movement type in MIGO  that posts to the same account in FI for all Valuation classes.
    After changing the Val. CLass then reverse the above movement.
    Kind regards

  • Change of Material Valuation Class - What Approach to Consider?

    Dear SAP Expert ...
    In OSS notes # 160970, it mentions that starting from release 4.6B we
    can use Customizing Transaction OMT4 (Change System Message) to change
    corresponding check from error to warning.  With this function, the
    system won't check if there are existing document (e.g. = PO, SO,
    etc.) for respective materials (which we want to change the valuation
    class from), thus we only deals with stock on-hand.
    However, the same notes also recommend the customer need to ensure that from
    organizational point of view there are no inconsistency occured after the change of valuation class.
    We're doing investigation of the automatic account determination which
    is driven by some valuation class and ensure that it won't introduce
    any inconsistency in Financial Statement (Balance Sheet and Income
    Statement). 
    Basically there are 2 (two) aspects we need to adjust:
    (1) Make sure there are no stock available for respective materials during the change
    (2) Adjust the error to warning message for system message using OMT4, thus the system won't check any existing document (so we don't have to delete thousands of existing document)
    We'd like to clarify with you (if similar experience available before) if the following approach we take has been according to the standard practise and NO
    inconsistency will ever occur in the future.
    The approach we take is as follows:
    (1) Identify the FROM valuation class and TO valuation class
    (2) Identify automatic account determination from each FROM an TO
    valuation class (IMG path = OMWB)
    (3) Determine the G/L account used when the changes happen, e.g. :
        Consignment Expense/Revenu (AKO)
        Expense/Revenue from Stock Transfer (AUM)
        Change in Inventory Account (BSV)
        Materials Management Small Difference (DIF)
        External Activities (FRL)
        Incidental Cost of External Activities (FRN)
        Purchase Offsetting Account (FKG)
        Purchasing Freight Account (FRE)
        Materials Management Exchange Rate Diff (KDM)
        MM exchange rate rounding differences (KDR)
        Gain/Loss from Revaluation (UMB)
    (4) Determine the implication of (different) G/L account posting to the Balance
    Sheet & Income Statement reporting
    We'd like to say huge thanks in advance for any input or advise.
    Regards,
    Alvon Sibarani

    Gopala ...
    That's an interesting approach you provided below.  Really appreciate for the input.
    Just for your background:
    1. Our company is also using global instance system (located in US), where all business unit around the globe connects to.
    2. With global instance, we have to standardize majority of the system setting & configuration into a common design.
    3. The common design includes the valuation grouping code, which we use single code (e.g. = ABCD)
    4.  I supposed the single valuation grouping code is introduced for ease in corporate reporting tree.
    5.  The issues we experience on the valuation class is basically happen for only 1 business unit (in China)
    6.  Adjusting the valuation grouping code might solve the 1 business unit issue, while on the other hand we must also consult with the global finance group on the implication to the corporate reporting tree with introduction of the new valuation grouping code (e.g. = WZYX)
    Again that's a valueable input we have here and we'd like to discuss it first with the finance group on the implication.  I personnaly doubt the global finance will agree with such approach, not to mention it approaching the year end thus no "major" modification be introduce.

  • Change the valuation class of material [Stock transport order scenario]

    Dears,
    Client would like to change the valuation class of material.
    There is no open Purchase order/Process order/Purchase requistion and stock in plant.
    Scenario- One Stock transport order is created.
    For same goods issue (351-issuing plant) and goods receipt (101-receiving plant) is done.
    When we are going to change the valuation class of said material, message is "purchase order is open
    and it shows the no of STO [for which receipt and issue is done]"
    To resolve this issue we had first delete the STO line item no(ME22N). Then change the valuation class.
    (this allows). and then undelete the STO line item. Through this we can change the valuation class of material.
    Please advise in such business process that this is right way or there may be other option.
    Thanks & Regards
    Rajan

    rajanshah219,
    Here's my take on how to fix:
    *Manually change Config TCode OMT4 - change message MM 326 & 327 to type "W"   (if open order exists...now you can enter through warning messages)
    *If inventory exists, then issue out of stock to a cost center
    *Change valuation class
    *Put stock back into inventory (reverse to that same cost center)  Note issue out and reverse back into inventory must happen in the same posting period.
    **Valuation class should be changed as expected
    **Manually change config  TCode OMT4 - change message MM 326 & 327 back to type "E"
    Thanks,
    Jason

  • Change GL account for the valuation class

    Hi,
    Currently I have a valuation class SUPP which is assign to GL account 14800, now the customer have the request to change it to GL account 14100. There is an option to change it in Config OBYC, but there are a lot of materials involved and a lot of material cost that exist is booked under GL account 14800. Can I just change it OBYC, what's the impact?
    Anyone experienced that before?
    Thanks!

    Hi
    This is normal Phenomenon since under that material type you must be having other valuation classes other than SUPP, and you must have assigned lot other G/L accounts , i.e for G/L recon you need to consider lot of Inventory accounts. Now if you change, during the next recon you just have to add the old entry details along with the new G/L account. No issues at all other than informing and co-ordination with FI guys after you new assignment of the G/L acct for SUPP.
    Best Regards
