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

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

  • Different GL Account for WRX - based on Valuation Class (No Material Master

    Hi Gurus,
    My scenario is as given below.
    1. We do not have any Material Master. We create short text PO's with account assignment category "P".
    2. We are also using Material Group in our PO. We have one Material Group for Domestic Purchases (say M1) and another Material Group (say M2) for Import Purchases.
    3. We have assigned valuation class say 3100 for Material Group M1 and valuation class 3101 for Material Group M2.
    4. Our plant is say RBUP and our valuation grouping code is say 0001 which is assigned to the same plant.
    Objective:
    While doing MIGO we want to have different GR/IR Account for domestic purchases say 108 and different GR/IR account for import purchases say 109.
    Issue:
    1. In OBYC setting GR/IR account is picked from transaction key WRX.
    2. Our entries in WRX are as given below for our Chart Of Accounts say DMN.
    Valuation Modifier Valuation Class GL Account
    0001 108
    0001 3100 108
    0001 3101 109
    3. But even when i am creating the PO with Material Group M2, it is not picking the GR/IR account 109, based on the valuation class i.e. 3101 which is assigned to the Material Group M2.
    Query:
    1. How can I achieve my objective of selecting GR/IR Account 109 for Import PO's and GR/IR Account 108 for Domestic PO's.
    Pl note we will not be maintain material master.
    Will give full 10 points if anyone can help me reslove this issue.
    Pl also do not waste any of your valuable time to address the account assignments for BSX or GBB-VBR. I am fully aware that in VBR this differentiation is possible.
    Rgds,
    Prasad.

    I suggest you to create a Dummy Materials. Lets say,
    material number: 1001
    enter material description as Domestic
    material number: 1002
    enter material description as Imports
    and in OBYC for GBB
    make the following settings:
    val grp      gen mod    val cla      gl a/c dr     gl a/c cr
    0001     VBR     4000     74180040     74180040
    0001     VBR     4001     78020091     78020091
    so that when u create PO u can get default GL (consumption GL )  for the material (u can use the same for material group also) and u can maintain WRX acc determination as follows ..
    val grp   val cla    gl a/c dr   gl a/c cr
    0001      4000     123456     123456
    0001      4001     456789     456789
    Thus u need to create 2 different valuation class for these material group specific and in PO while entering the text u can add the text which is displayed along with material description
    hope this helps

  • 2 Valuation Class - Same Material Type

    Hi ,
    I have 2 Valuation class 9001 & 9003 for ZPAC Materil Type .
    9001 - Packaging & 9003 Casing .
    Where i can find the difference between this Valuation class in Material Master.
    I have 2 Material with different Valuation class with same Material type.
    I Could nt able to find the difference in between this 2 material.
    Like Packaging & Casing where i can find this,
    Pl suggest.
    Thanks
    Ram

    Hi,
    Go to OMWC, there click on "Global Categories", here position cursor on the Valuation category (which is maintained for Material Master) and click on "Change" button, here check have you entered any Valuation type in field "Default: val.type ext.procure."
    This defaults the Valuation Type in Purchasing Documents.
    In MIGO, if you don't want to enter valuation types manually then use concept of Batch Determination if your materials are batch managed.
    Procedure for Batch Determination: -
    1. Go to OMCG and here put Batch Search Strategy "ME0001" against Movement Types 541 and 543 O
    2. Now in MBC1 - Maintain condition record for Strategy Type "ME02" and here keep Selection Type as "O"
    After doing the above settings, system will not determine the batch and valuation type during Subcontracting PO, but at the time of Transfer Posting (MB1B) and Consumption of Components (MIGO), system will determine batches and corresponding valuation type
    If materials are not batch managed then go for "Stock Determination Procedure"
    1. OSPX - Define Strategies for Stock Determination
    Here take a copy of Stock Determination group "0001" and create a new and assign to your plant.
    After maintaining Stock Determination group and rule go to "Stock Determination Item Table", here enter stock type as "F", Storage Location (if required, otherwise keep it blank), enter priority as 1, 2, 3 and valuation types against that in which sequence you want these to be determined.
    Now in SPRO > MM > Inventory Management and Physical Inventory > Stock Determination > Assign Stock Determination Rule in the Applications >  Inventory Management > Here assign Stock Determination Rule to 541 and 543
    Now assign Stock determ. group in MM02, under "Plant data / stor.2" view of material master
    Now in MIGO - Click on "Stock Determination" button to get the valuation types automatically.

  • Define Valuation Class against Material Group through SPRO.

    Hi,
    Can we define Valuation Class against Material Group through SPRO.
    Because we don't want to insert valuation class during material master creation. Reason, User can select easily wrong Valuation class during creation of material master and due to this, valuated in wrong GL accounts...
    During material creation, valuation class should automatically show in Accounting View.
    Pleas guide..

    Hi,
    For your requirement as you have 10 Material Types and you should have 10 new account category reference &10 new  valuation class and link(OMSK)each Material Type with individual valuation class though respective account category reference. Also assign each account category reference in respective material type in OMS2. So when you create material (MM01) with a particular material type, then only assigned valuation class will be defaulted/allowed to enter in accounting -1 view.
    In the standard we have some predefined material type, valuation class and account category reference and a link between them has already established by the system. If we are using these standard setting no additional efforts are required. But to meet any specific requirement, if we have to create a new material type or a new valuation classes or a new Account Category Reference (all the three), then we have to establish this links in bewteen.

  • 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,

  • Valuation class in service master linked with G/L accounts

    Dear Experts,
    In service master what is the significance of Service category & service group? Is it required to assign G/L account like material type is required in material master? Is it necessary to hv 1:1 relationship in  valuation class & G/L account in service master? Is their any way that we can see the G/L account in service master? Pls help to clarify my doubts.
    Regds
    Prashant B.

    Hi Manish
    I assigned valuation class in service master and using same service master for service PO creation, but while doing GR system picks WRX account without valuation class but not the GL account assigned to the valuation class in service master?
    I tried with assigning service group/ material group at PO item over view to same valution class in OMQW but still not able to post to separate GL account in OBYC. Is there anything missing?
    As far as my understanding service PO WRX entries will be posted to the GL account witout valuation class.
    Thanks

  • Valuation Area and Material  master

    Dear All,
    Can anyone explain the relation between Valuation Area and Material Master.
    According to my knowledge,Plant has relation with Material master.
    SAP recommends Plant to be Valuation Area.
    Regards

    Hi Venkat,
    Valuation Area is the level at which u need ur Material to be valuated .
    V have 2 options as :
    1> Company Code
    2> Plant
    SAP recomends aat Plant level.
    If u Company code is used then the Material is valuated at same price across whole company.
    The decission of Valuation Area has to be done at configuration level.
    And once done , it should not be changed ..............as SAP states
    Thanks & Regards
    Hope this helps

  • Valuation class for service master

    Hi Guys,
    I am trying for automatic G/L account determination for Service PO's. My issue i have to enter g/l code for each line item in the PO. I am not sure how the g/l account determination based on valuation class works for Service PO's
    I have assigned the account category reference to the service category and to the valuation class 3200 i have assigned a g/l account for the key FRL.
    Please let me know what I am missing?
    Thanks and regards,
    Siddharth M

    Hi Sidmi
    The account assignment settings made for materials consumption will work for services also .
    You do not need FRL for services (it's for sub-contracting)
    Account category reference decides which all valuation classes can be used for a service category. It does not determine valuation class in a transaction (it's only checks with this setting).
    If you want to determine GL account automatically in your txns, then you have following options:
    1) Spro>Material management>Purchasing>material master->entry aids for items without material master
    For all the material groups you want to use for services , assign a valuation class here.
    2) If you maintain service masters, then you can assign valuation class in service master.
    Best regards

  • Inter company PO is not pulling the valuation price from Material Master

    Hi Experts,
    We have a scenario, Inter-company PO with pricing procedure which pulls Material Price from Material Master (Std Price), similar to intra company PO
    Even after maintaining the std price in the supplying plant , system is not pulling the Valuation price from Material master only for a particular Material
    I checked the Plant level attributes ( for ex: Plant Mat status, client level status and everything looks fine )
    Could you guys please mention what would be the issue ?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    Is there a routine which pulls the value? then you need debug with ABAP help for that routine where its failing to pull

  • Valuation Class in Service Master

  • Relation between Valuation Classes and material type

    Dear all,
    How i can keep relationship between valuation class & material type.
    Can i put many valuation classes & single material type and vice versa.
    Regards,
    Nitin PAtil

    Nitin,
    Valuation class is used for automatic account determination .Valuation class is depend on material type.
    Valuation class is key used to group together material with same account determination.
    Valuation class is assigned to Material type via account category reference.
    Same valuation class can be assigned to differnt material type if they belong to same account category reference.
    However only one account category reference is assigned to one material type.
    For Ex.
    Mat Type         Act Cat Ref             Valuation class(only example)
    ROH                0001                          3001,3002,3000
    HALB               0001                          3001,3002,3003
    FERT                0002                          7900 , 7902
    I hope this will clear your concept.
