Valuation Class - Transaction

Hi
I want to know clear about link
Valuation Class - Transaction - Movement Type - Account
Could you please explain me about that.
Thanks and Best Regards,

Hi,
Movement Type
Transaction key
Valuation class
G/L account
1. Transaction/event key is linked with movement type in T code OMWN.
2. Valuation class and G/L account are linked in OBYC.
when you post any goods movement ,say,Post goods receipt with ref to Purchase order.first system look for valuation class in accounting view (material master).Based on this,system searches for G/L account in OBYC.Now,I know movement type is 101,system look for transaction event key (BSX in case of 101 ) in OMWN to post the accountings.Hence,Account postings at the time of GR wud be
Stock account Dr -Transaction key BSX
GR/IR account Cr-Transaction key WRX
Hope it clarifies your doubts...
Please revert if you stil have further query.

Vineet

Material groups-valuation classes combination

Hello,
I have material groups which are created for services, and they don't have a material code. When I purchase these materials, I enter the cost center as account assignment type, and the service I'm purchasing and the material group I mentioned for these services.
Below, it asks the GL account. In order to avoid entering this GL account every time I purchase services, I want to combine these material groups to the valuation classes. And then those valuation classes and GL accounts will be combined in T030 table.
Where could I do this combination through customizing this matching of valuation classes and the material groups?
Thanks in advance
Irem

Hello forum!
I customized a specific material group with a valuation class (transaction omqw).
During a PO creation, the GL account is displayed by default when i enter a blank material and the material group that i previously customized.
However, if I enter a material code with the specific material group, the field of the GL account is empty.
Do you have any suggestions in order to have a default GL account at PO in the case that the material has a code but it has no valuation class?

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.

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,
Murukan Arunachalam

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.

Alvon Sibarani

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

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.

How to change the value of Valuation class.

dear friends:
i want to change the value of Valuation class in the material master .but system warning info occurs .
The valuation class cannot be changed
Message no. M3 368
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.
Procedure for System Administration
In Customizing for the Material Master, you can switch the check for open purchase orders and/or for production orders to a warning. You do this in Define Attributes of System Messages by assigning the message type Warning to message MM 326 and/or MM 327 respectively. However, first ensure organizationally that further processing of the open purchase orders or production orders cannot result in inconsistencies.

To resolve SAP error message M3 368 I would suggest that you refer to SAP note number 1967543. This note outlines the issue and a resolution to it:
Please have a look at the description of the error M3 368. This error may occur if one or more of the following already exist for the material:
1. Valuated stocks in the current period or in the previous period
2. Open purchase orders or delivery schedule lines
3. Production orders for which a goods movement has already taken place
Resolution:
If you have valuated stocks in the current period or in the previous period, you will get message "Stocks already exist.". You have to clear all the stocks both in current period and previous period. Please have a look at SAP Note 30656, it shows an example on how to clear the stocks in
previous period. You can use transaction MIGO to execute this step.
If you have open purchase orders or delivery schedule lines, you will get message "Purchase orders already exist.". You can find related purchase orders after you click 'Display Error' button. Please delete them in transaction ME22N.
If you have production orders for which a goods movement has already taken place, you will get message "Production orders already exist.". Please archive these production orders. You need to set deletion flag for these orders firstly and go to SARA, use archiving object PP_ORDER to archive
these orders.

Valuation Class - Movement Type - Account

Hi,
I´m not yet that experienced in SAP but I´ll try to explain as good as I can.
Is there any easy way to display all accounts that are used within a specific valuation class?
The specific accounts per valuation class I have found using se16 in table t030.
But this table is not telling me which movement type are using the accounts.
So I currently go to spro -> MM -> Valuation and Account Asignment -> Account Determination -> Account Determination without Wizard -> Purchase Account Management -> Configure Automatic Postings -> Simulation
- first problem: I do not know how to find a material for a specific valuation class (no filter criteria?)
- second problem: no complete list I have to click through each movement type to see where a specific account is used -> a complete list over all movement types within a selected/used valuation class would help a lot!
Best regards,
F.

Hi,
You can get the material list per valuation class through table MBEW (Valuation).You can use MB51 t.code to get the document list based on movement type.
The movement type and valuation class relation is through transaction event key. Movement type will determine the transaction event key through value string (the same you can find in OMJJ t.code, here select movement type and enter any movement type and click on account groupign > You can find the relation).
Transaction event key is assigned with G/L accounts based on Chart of accounts/Valuation grouping code/valuation class/account gouping(only for GBB,PRD & KON).

Dear,
Valuation class is a combine combination work of MM and FI during integration.
Valuation class is the g/l accounts to be posted automatically (Ex Raw materail or Finised goods) during movements which effect the valuation.
In material master we specify valuation class:
- for valuation class, we assign g/l accounts based on nature of transaction,
- at the time of goods receipt/ issue, stores person enters movement type,
- our a/c's will be updated automatically based on account assignment to valuation class which is specified in material master.
We can group together different materials with similar properties by valuation class. Eg Raw material,Finsihed Goods, Semi Finished. We can define the following assignments in customizing : All materials with same material type are assigned to just one valuation class.
Different materials with the same material type can be assigned to different valuation classes. Materials with different material types are assigned to a single valuation class.
Check the below extract:
Valuation Class
In normal business, every material which is being procured, stocked or consumed needs to be valuated and all the records of such valuation needs to me maintained.
In SAP all such records are being captured in stock account of respective material. Since all most every business deals with a high number of materials and it is not possible for them to maintain separate stock account for every material. Hence there was a strong need of grouping the materials based on the properties they have. Hence in simple words, valuation class is a grouping of materials having similar properties and assignment of these materials to a group of G/L accounts.
Since we are grouping materials based on some properties/attributes known as material type, hence which valuation class a material can be assigned to depend on the material type it belongs. An assignment with the following combination is possible in Customizing:
u2022 All materials with the same material type are assigned to just one valuation class.
u2022 Different materials with the same material type are assigned to different valuation classes.
u2022 Materials with different material types are assigned to a single valuation class.
When we create a material master records, based on the above setting the systems checks whether it can be assigned to the valuation class specified. If not system will not permit to save the records. Once the records are saved, the system refers to the valuation class of a material to determine which stock account to be posted in case of any transactions in IM or LIV.
Valuation Class along with following components forms the valuation structure of a material. During valuation process each of these components is being taken into consideration by the system.
u2022 Valuation area
u2022 Valuation category
u2022 Valuation type
u2022 Material type
u2022 Movement type
Configuration setting for defining New Valuation Class
u2022 create account category reference
u2022 define new valuation class
u2022 Link it with material types via account category reference
u2022 Create an account determination for each material class in the step configure automatic posting
If you want to create / delete existing valuation class, study the dependencies and requirements and consult with FI people also. Usually Valuation classes are created by MM and FI people.
