Valuation class regards

Hi
in our customisation setting it is observed that some of the finished goods item is being assined with valuation class 3100(RM) in their master records.Now my doubt is what is the effect of that on your stock valuation.please provide the details on that.
Thanks
shivaji

HI,
Valuation classes are a part of the Material Master data and are used (among others) to determine GL accounts, whenever a material related posting is made in the SAP R/3 system. In this way, we are able to make a distinction between the stock values.
The link between GL accounts and valuation classes
As explained above, the determination off stock accounts and GR/IR accounts is based on the valuation class of a material.
Ideally, when a product changes , the valuation class is changed to reflect this. In practice,
If you assigned wrongly, the value of finished goods will be updated in Rawmaterial account, which is incorrect.

Regarding Material valuation class

Dear Guru's,
How can we find out that the valuation class of a material is assigned to which G/L account.
Thanks in advance,
Cherukuri

Go to OMWB.You will get a valuation area window.Just cancel it. and press tab G/L accounts.Then enter your CC and execute.
You can see the G/L accounts for which all valuation classes are assigned.
In this window for finding G/L acct for your val class. press CLR+F and give your valuation class and system will give you G/L accts assigned to it.

De-linking (Valuation class & GL A/c) automatic posting in Invoice booking

Experts,
I have a issue regarding link between FI & MM
From what I understand,
there is a link between Service & Valuation class
& also a link between valuation class & GL.
This link enables automatic FI line item posting while invoice booking.
My question:
1. Can we break the linkage between valuation class & GL i.e. we want to stop the automatic posting
2. What is the effect of above
3. Would you advise to do this .. ? Why?

Hi,
SAP standard process are the best business practises and it should changed only when we have genuine business problem and not for people issue.
There are several scenarios will occur during MIGO and MIRO. For each scenario system should determine a correct Inventory account, GR/IR clearing account, Price difference account and etc. First you need to prepare an excel sheet with all your possible business scenario, valuation area/valuation grouping code and their respective GL accounts. Once you have listed out all the scenarios and correct GL accounts, you can configure the system as per your requirement. Initial home work is needed to avoid any difference in account posting. Hence try to fix the source of your problem rather than changing the best practise. Account determination is vast and it cannot be explained here but please refer the below link.

Problem with project stock valuation class

Dear All,
We have an issue regarding the Revenue Inventory and Capital Inventory. There is a certain balance amount which should be in capital but system is showing in Revenue and vice versa.
The reason for this is that when the material was created, in some materials the main valuation class was 3032(Project) and in some it was maintained as 3030(revenue). But project stock valuation class was not maintained.
Now the problem persists in the G/L balances, the G/L of project stock (132006)displays some amount of revenue(132000) and vice versa.
We tried to maintain the project stock valuation class (3032) for materials for which the main valuation class is 3030 (Revenue),but still the G/L for revenue (132000) is getting hit.
At the end, the requirement is that G/L for revenue (132000) should hit when revenue procurement is there and G/L for capital (132006) should hit when capital procurement is there.
Kindly suggest the way forward.
Regards,
Harsh

Thanks Venkat, we have thought of the same as a last stop but there are hundreds of materials which has this problem and there would be many open documents for them.
If anything could be suggested other then this, and I wanted clarification on one more point that the materials for which main valuation class was 3030 and later we added 3032 in project stk Val class but after maintaining it. When we procure(Capital procurement), it is still showing the balance in G/L 132000(Revenue).

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.

GR/IR clearing per valuation class

Hey all,
I was trying to post the GR/IR clearing account per valuation class, so i changed the rule in OBYC in WRX to be per valuation class and account modifier, i entered the correct combination (WRX + VBR + V.Class + G/L a/c) but it's not picking the correct G/L in case of service purchasing, it's doing it with material purchasing only not service purchasing. even in the error the valuation class is not mentioned as it's saying ( WRX Z000 is missing ) and it's ignoring that there is a valuation class assigned to the service master, it works fine with material master records.
Does anyone have a clue ?
Thanks and regards all...

Hi Jitesh,
I believe, that though there are several debit and credit line amounts pertaining to GR/IR Clearing account. System will do clear with transaction F.13 based on sort key information at GL Account.
If the GL Account Sort Key gets changed, then to be cleared manually with T.Code F-03. Here you will not be in a position to clear if the debit and credit items are huge.
Then go to FBL3N, match the both credit and debit with same information at Assignment field and do Clearing with F.13
As we know, it is very big taks. You have to struggle for which the mistake was happend and ensure that the sortkey should not be changed where there are line items to be cleared.

Split GR/IR accounts by Valuation Class (PO without material master)

Hi Experts,
I've an issue here, when I'm tried to do GR posting (PO without material master), system doesnt able to post GRIR account by valuation class.
Scenario: PO issue without masterial number, enter description and with material group.
In the configuration, I've configure "Entry aids for item without material master", assign material group "Asset" and material group "Services" into 2 different clearing account. However, when GR posting, system prompt error message and not able to do posting.
Kindly advice.

Yes , you can post to different GR/IR accounts based on the valuation class . In OBYC for WRX , you can choose your rules . In the Rules , select valuation class . Then the system will allow you to choose different GR/IR accounts for each valuation class .
During the GR , the system will pick the corresponding GR/IR account based on the material grp valuation class .
Regards,
Hari.

How to shift valuation class from one material type to another material type ?

I have came across following weird scenario:
We already created huge no.of materials of material type say ZABC with two valuation classes say 1100 and 1200(GL accounts for these VCs for different posting keys in OBYC settings are same). Account category reference for this material type is 0010.
After that we created new material type say ZPQR with new Account category reference 0025, and valuation class 1200 is linked with this ACR 0025. Because of this, valuation class 1200 disappeared from material type ZABC. In order to avoid inconsistency, we need to have valuation class 1200 linked with older material type i.e.ZABC.How we can do this ? What impacts must have happened in this period (from MM/FI) in the system, where valuation class get shifted from one material type(ZABC) to another material type(ZPQR)....please help us in this scenario.

Thanks Sana,
We are also looking for the solution provided by you i.e. reassign ACR 0010 to Valuation class 1200.
Your are also correct in terms of statement "config doesnt allow me to assign same valuation class to 2 different AREF (Account reference number/Account category reference).
I wanted to know, what are the possible impacts in the system during this re-assignment of ACR to old material type ZABC.

Sudarshan.

Valuation Class not appearing in Material Master (Finished Goods)

Hi Friends,
I am facing problem with Valuation Class not appearing while creation of Material Master especially in Finished Products
when i give the Valuation class it showing the message like below
*Valuation class IBM2 not allowed for material type Finished product*
*Message no. M3180*
*Diagnosis*
*The combination of values you have entered is not defined in the system.*
*Procedure*
*Check your entries, and choose a valid value or combination of values with F4.*
*If you want the value(s) to be defined in the system, contact your systems administrator.*
and When i press F4 in Valuation Class area it is not appearing
Can any one give me the solution
Regards,
Ram

Hi Ram,
Go to Transaction Code OMSK. You will find three tabs there.
Go to the second tab i.e, valuation class, note the account category reference assigned to the valuation class "IBM2".
Come out of that screen and access the third tab ie., Material Type/Account Category reference.
Check whether Account category reference related to the valuation class "IBM2" is assigned to ther material type "Finished product" or not.
If not, assign the same. It should work.
Warm 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.

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

Valuation class regards
