Valuation Method

Good Morning.
may somebody help me please?
I have a problem with the stock value method.
I need to change the method from some items, from standard to weighted average.
I followed all the step mentioned in "Help Sap".
All warehouses are in zero, and there are not open documents like purchase orders, production order, deliveries without invoice, etc.
I have done the same with several items, some allow me to change the method but not in others, and i do not know what is the cause
thank you very much in advance

  • Data Import error - Valuation Method (ODBC -1029)

    Hello all, first post on the SCN. I did some search for similar problems, but nothing seemed to help here.
    We are using Business One, two different companies and databases. We were at the time of the year to update the price list, so we used the Administration -> Data Import/Export -> Data Import -> Import from Excel.
    One company (US only) imports perfectly, but the other database (Canada + US) gives me the following error message on 91 / 1036 entries.
    Row Number xxx : [Items - Valuation Method] , 'Field cannot be updated (ODBC -1029)
    Since the errors only appears on one of the two databases, I ruled out that the excel sheet we used to be the problem.
    The excel sheet only has 4 columns : The item identification, the price list that it needs to update, the price, and the currency (USD or $ for us).
    Neither of the two companies use any valuation method. In fact, neither companies have the field at all in Item Master Data, and its grayed out in the Company Details.
    We also made a dump of the entire item database, and compared what items were imported successfully and those that generated the error, and while the column Valuation Method either had nothing or A, there was no pattern to it. Some errors had nothing, some had A in it.
    I checked for any other differences between items that were imported and the ones with error, and cannot see any visible differences, so all I can think here is that its either an invisible setting when the item was created, or there's some character that is creating a fault somewhere (like an empty space).
    One of the topics found on this error message (ODBC -1029) said that we might need to request a script to fix the database, but that topic was back in 2006, I'm not sure if it still applies, 8 years later.
    Essentially I ran out of things to try on my end. Now I can only ask to the experts.
    Thank you for your time!

    The company that has troubles importing does not allow us to change the Valuation Method for each item. The field is missing entirely from the Item Master Data. I included a screenshot.
    The field is grayed out in the Company Details, but its set as Moving Average. The other company uses Moving Average by default as well, from the looks of it (the field does appear in Item Master Data, but its grayed out).
    We used the same excel sheet to import data in both companies, just need to figure out why its 100% on one side and not on the other side.
    Just to be a bit more clear, we cannot select or visualize the Valuation Method on the items that are not getting imported. Its invisible.
    When we exported the full list of items, there was no pattern between the items that are not imported and those that are imported properly.
    To be clear, the Valuation Method for :
    Items that are imported properly are A or blank.
    Items that are not imported and generate an error are A or blank.
    There is no logic between those that work and those that do not, which is why I can't figure it out on my own.
    Thank you!

  • JE Passed in case of Standard valuation method in 2007B

    Dear All,
    I am bit confused---
    The scenario is i have done one transaction for A/P invoice.The JE passed in case of A/P invoice  & in case of item having valuation method standard  & procurement method make is hitting material variance account instead of hitting inventory account since the tax say cst is inventoried.This issue is occurring only in case of standard valuation method.In case of other valuation method the accounting entry is correct, so what might be reasons behind it.
    Also, if anyone could provide me sap portal link which will help me out to identify the changes which took place in different PL's.
    Regards-
    Mona.

    Hi Mona ,
    The quick thing is to check :
    1. What is the standard price of the item
    2. Is your GRPO  price is difference than AP invoice
    Everytime you purchase it will check against your standard price and if it is different it his variance account .
    Hope this helps

  • Valuation Methods - foreign currency valuation

    Hello
    I am trying to understand the concept of different valuation methods. could you explain using examples please ?
    Say for instance, a goods receipt is raised in USD for 100USD on 2 Jan 2009 and local currency is EUR. Exchange rate is 1EUR : 1,5USD. On 4 Jan 2009 invoice received at rate of 1EUR : 1,6USD.
    What are the implications of the options lowest value principle, strict lowest value principle, always valuate and revalue for such a transaction?
    tks

    Those are different ways of valuating your Foreign Currency Operations depending or the country regulations:
    1- Lowest value principle means that the Valuation will be posted only if it is giving a negative result.
    2- Strict lowest value principle will be post valuation only if two conditions happened:
            A - The valuation is negative
            B - The new valuation has a greater devaluation and/or a greater revaluation for credit entries than the previous valuation
    3 - Always Valuate: No matter if it is possitive or negative, the valuation will be posted.
    4 - Revalue only: The opposite of the first one, valuation is only posted when possitve.
    5 -Reset Valuation Run: In this case open items are valuated at the acquisition price. This way the valuation difference is set to zero. This is useful to reset previous valuations

  • Customizing Valuation Method

    Hello Experts,
    I want to do a Foreign Currency Valuation. The valuation shall include general ledger accounts with and without open item management. For that I need to customize a Valuation Method.
    I am unsure if I have to activate the field Balance valuation for Open items. Does this field has any consequences for the valuation of accounts which aren`t with open item management? In the F1 help it`s explained that this field is not activated that the open items are summarized and valuated per reference number. Which reference number is meant here?
    Thanks for your help.
    Regards,
    Tobias

    hi,
    this setting has no impact to account without open item management, as which only keeps the balance.
    the reference number is the reference document number in document header INVFO-XBLNR
    please correct me if I am wrong.
    Best regards, Lawrence

  • Differance amoung the Valuation Methods for Result Analysis

    Dear All,
    In SAP Product Cost Controlling ther are 3 types of Cosings
    1. Production Cost by Order
    Path:- Production Cost by Order ---> Period end Closing ->WIP->Defind Valuation Method for( Actual Cost)
    2. Production Cost By Period
    Path:- Production Cost by Period ---> Period end Closing ->WIP->Defind Valuation Method for ( Target Cost )
    3. Production Cost by Sales Order
    Path :- Production Cost by Sales Order ---> Period end Closing --->Defind Valuation Method for Result Analysis.
    Note:  Here the point is Valuation Methods ( 1 to 17 ) availabel in Production Cost by Sales Order only.  The Valution Method is very important to Calculate WIP.  Different Countries follows different methods, but in the By Order and By Period we can get these Valuation Methods.  What would be the reasno behind this.

  • Sub Contracting in FIFO Valuation Method

    Dear All,
    I am facing one serious problem while using Subcontracting Addon.
    We have developed Sub Contracting Add-on based on Standard Valuation Method and it is working fine.
    But when we use FIFO Valuation method then it will not allow.
    So could you please guide me the process/procedure how to implement Sub Contracting in FIFO Valuation Method.
    Means what are changes needs to make it success in FIFO.
    Thanks
    Vikas

    Hi
    Yes its right not to change the earlier valued items on one costing method to another.
    Imp. to note that, for manufacturing/sub-contracting the best costing method is Standard. Because, in manufacturing processes, its very much impossible to track the exact in and out of material as per FIFO; costing method comes into picture as you made some inward and outward or some movement of material, i.e. in case of purchasing material FIFO starts acting as you start consuming the materials or you transfer the material from one warehouse to another, other than in which you have received the material. When you have material on floor, its quite impossible to track the exact movement of material, means which material is actually being processed on the floor. So, If we use FIFO for such items, then actual costing will be always different from executed/system costing, Also, FIFO is suggested for only those business practices who are following the JIT principle. But, by having Special as costing method for manufacturing items, we avoid such problems to have actual costing, though it may again differ from actual costing, but overall as per the business experience we come to know COGS to actual basis.
    In Special Costing method, it's recommendable to revise the Standard cost of the items, periodically.

  • Error in "Inventory Valuation Method using Moving Average"

    Dear Sir,
    Here I am using moving average as inventory valuation method at one of my client. I want to know that in SAP Business One, in case of F.G. valuation we can only get the valuation of Raw Material and not the direct expenses cost.
    Can you please tell me how should i put the Direct Expense Cost (e.g. Labor Rate) in F.G. inventory Valuation?
    Please reply ASAP.
    Thanks & Regards
    SS

    Hi,
    Only the raw material cost will be added to the Cost of the FG based  on the Quantity and price in the BOM.
    Ex:
    To make Parent Item FG 1 nos , you required 2 nos of Child Item of Rs 10 each,
    Create Bom for the same and refresh the cost of the FG (will find a refresh arrow in the Bottom of the BOM -Screen)
    Once you Issue child parts to the respective production order and make  a receipt for the Parent Item the cost of the FG will be posted as RS 20
    If you want to add the labor cost to the FG there is no direct provision to add the cost in SBO, we have give a work around only as follows.
    Create a Service  Item ex.Labor Cost and give the Standard cost for that Item in inventory tab For example for Rs 200/Hr
    Now add the Service item (Labor Cost) in the Bill of material and in the Quantity field  give the Time for the labor required is if the Labor Time taken is 30 min to make 1 FG give 0.5 ie (convert the cycle time to Hours and give the decimal value)
    then refresh the BOM,
    Now the cost of the FG will be 20+100( labor cost) = 120
    The above method can be used only if you have determined a standard time of labor to manufacture,

  • Results analysis: Valuation method 15 (RRB)

    Hi experts,
    Can i have a detailed example for posting lines for RA valuation method :
    15 - Derive revenues from resource-related billing of dynamic line items
    warm regards
    ramSiva

    Hai Mikhail
    As u mentioned u set the RA method for POC3 in OKG3.
    Assuming maintained in OKG3 - the status control ,profit Basis,Valuation Level and its Minimum Values.
    Is the RA version been maintained in  OKG2 ?
    In OKG2 - need to maintain the RA version with respect to the Controlling Area like 0 or 1.
    Is OKG8 has been maintained on the Posting Rules - means where the RA version should have the corrsponding Profit & loss account number and Balance sheet account number.
    Kindly check and verify according to the relevant RA used/picked using OKG1 in Config - OKG2(maintain RA versions), OKG3(valuation methods for RA), Define Line ID's , OKG5 ( Assignment of Cost elements for WIP and RA) , OKG4( update of WIP calculation and RA) , OKG8 ( Posting rules in WIP and RA) .
    If all these maintained u will definetelu get the KKA2 result.
    ENJOY SAP PS

  • Foreign Currency Valuation Method

    Hello Friends,
    In the System,there are some documents which they were valuated with different valuation method from the Delta valuation method. I tried to reverse the valuation but system show difference totals..
    How can I do about that? (any OSS etc)
    Thank you !

    Hi,
    Not sure were to start, but I would go with  BSEG-BDIFF field in the document with problems.
    Also take a look at SAP notes 1344731, 1365940; they might not solve the problem but they could give you some insight.

  • RA thru Valuation Method 07 and its inexplicable settlement

    Hi,
    I have run RA and Settlement with Valuation method 07 and seen the results. But postings to COPA is perfect but Finance postings are in reverse. Let me explain and request you to support me with your valuable inputs.
    The Actual costs is 1000 whereas the planned estimate is 2000. The Actual revenue is 1200 whereas the planned revenue is 3000. The POC is 45%. Hence, while doing RA, the system has given the result that the calculated costs is 900 and hence WIP is 100. In the case of Revenue, the calculated revenue is 1350 and hence 150 is revenue in excess of billings. This is quite ok.
    But when it comes to settlement, the change in WIP accounts is debited and WIP account is credited with 100 instead of change in WIP account is credited and WIP(BS a/c) is debited. In the same way, the Rev in excess billings(P/L ac) is debited 150 and Res for excess billings(BS a/c) is credited.
    My copa postings shows the revenue of 1350 and cost of 900 and a profit of 450. But the income statement shows loss of 50.  The 250 goes to the debit side instead of credit side of the income statement. It is quite inexplicable.

  • RA with Valuation Method 7 with POC %ages

    Hi,
    Highly appreciated, if you can detail the steps involved in carrying out RA with Valuation Method 7 with progressive value analysis. Here, we can give a percentage of POC into the system as certified by the Engineers unlike Valuation method 3 where the POC is calculated on the basis of actual costs incurred.
    In the case of valuation method 3, only revenue is analysed by the system with reference to the POC and necessary entries are posted as Revenue surplus or Revenue in excess of billings. Whereas in the case of valuation method 7,  both the revenue and costs are analysed and necessary provisions are made both for revenue and costs.

  • Result Analysis Valuation Method 3

    Hi PS Experts,
    The building block document on Profit Realization 'I58_BB_ConfigGuide_EN_DE' says that as per IAS 11 and 18, we need to configure Result Analysis Valuation Method 3 only which is cost based. Is it right and whether you are all having this valuation method in your SAP system where IFRS standards are applicable.
    Then, in addition to this cost based Revenue Recognition through this valuation method 3, we would like to input realistic POC(Engineer's certificate) into the system. Whether it is possible and if so, how and what other valuation method we need to use with or with changes to a particular valuation method. Appreciate your valuable inputs on this.
    Regards!

    Hello,
    Cost based POC i.e Method 3 is compliant with IFRS requirements. Other methods also are so.
    The choice of RA method depends on value/risk/duration/revenue plan of the project. We use this method for high value projects running for a long time where there is a need to recognise revenue before actual billing.
    Completed contract method is also used and very much in accordance with accouning principles.
    For POC calculated through progress determination- say Engineer's certificate- you can use method 7.
    Thanks,

  • Urgent. [Items - Valuation Method] error when creating documents

    I have recently upgraded one of my customers databases to the newest 2005 sp: 01 pl: 45 version
    Before that, they were running 2005, but with no service pack.
    However, after the upgrade they cannot any longer create salesorders, invoices etc!
    They allways get 'Items - Valuation Method' when pressing the add-method.
    Every item is checked as Stock Item, but not purchased Item. I cannot change any of this, it seems.
    But they do NOT use any logistics, they only use SBO as an invoicing system. And they will not use it for logistics in the future either. 'Response to Release of Stock below the Minimum level' is set to 'Without warning'.
    How can I quickly make salesorders/invoices work again? Does anyone know what might have happened during the upgrade?
    Help is highly appreciated!
    Regards, Runar

    Hi Runar,
    I realize that this is a very late response, if you have not already logged a message with SAP support you should do that.
    When releasing 2005 SP01 a lot of the logic of the Inventory transactions where corrected to avoid inconsistencies. Among these changes were certain settings on Items that could no longer be changed.
    Hope it helps.
