Valuation of material

hi,
I want to value my RM at purchase cost.
There are 2 purchases for same material for Rs. 10, Rs. 15 for quantity 1000, 1100.
When we issue the same for consumption against process order as follows
from 1st lot 1000
2nd lot 750
then at what price material will be issued to satisfy my aim?

Dear Sayujya,
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/0b/2a64af507d11d18ee90000e8366fc2/frameset.htm
If valuation of the material is based on the moving average price procedure, then the value of the material in the sales and shipping system has to be the same as the value of the goods received in the purchasing system.
Note the following:
Standard price: price differences can be avoided if the price in the invoice is the same as the valuation price in the sales and shipping system.
Moving average price procedure: the price in the invoice has to be the same as the valuation price in the sales and shipping system.

During the production process, product cost collectors and manufacturing orders are debited with actual costs. Each time goods are received into inventory, the system valuates the receipt and credits the product cost collector or manufacturing order accordingly. The actual costs posted to an order can be more or less than the value with which an order was credited when the goods receipt was posted. When you settle, this difference between the debit and credit of the order is transferred to Financial Accounting (FI). Settlement also feeds data from Cost Object Controlling to other components.
The following can happen during the settlement process:
The order balance can be reduced to zero by transferring to Financial Accounting (FI) the difference between the preliminary inventory valuation (goods receipt) and the actual costs incurred. The price difference can also be transferred to Profit Center Accounting (EC-PCA) and Actual Costing/Material Ledger (CO-PC-ACT).
The total variance can be transferred to profitability segments in Profitability Analysis (CO-PA). This enables you to see an additional contribution margin in CO-PA. You can transfer the individual variance categories of the total variance to value fields in CO-PA in combination with certain cost elements or cost element groups
Hope this will help.

Error in quantity translation in CO-PA valuation using material costing

Dear SAP Gurus,
While releasing the billing document to accounting I am getting the following error:
Error in quantity translation in CO-PA valuation using material costing
Message no. K/821
Diagnosis
In Profitability Analysis (CO-PA), the system tried to use a material cost estimate to translate the unit KG for the material KG into the base unit of measure EA for that material.
The system could not do this.
System Response
The document cannot be processed further.
Procedure
Check the quantity entered in the affected CO-PA quantity field &V4 .
If necessary, change the material master to allow the unit KG as an alternative unit for the material 970000000000000016.
Can anyone provide me with a solution to the said problem.
Regards
Nikit

Hi Piet,
That does not seem to be the solution as i cant define for all the materials how many units EA = how many kgs. Thanks for the reply anyway

Valuation with material cost estimate: error with product

Hi Experts,
Message no. KE350, Valuation with material cost estimate: error with product "2286940000". Please suggest me to resolve this issue.
Points will be provided for good solution.
Regards,
Jay

Hi Jaya
This means that your customization is wrong then...
In KE4J or KEPC you have assigned costing keys to your material types or some other combination... You should have done this config in a way that costing key is not called for in the case of non valuated materials...
In Ke40 you have defined costing key where in you have specified "Issue error msg if no cost estimate found".. This costing key is assigned in KE4J or KEPC in a way that it is getting called even in case of non valuated materials...
Do you have a separate mat type for non valuated material? If yes, remove this mat type from KE4J/KEPC..
If you dont have separate mat type i.e. in the same mat type if you have both valuated and non valuated, then you have a problem.. You would get stuck in that case

Valuation using material cost estimate

Ciao a tutti,
We have create a material cost
estimate without standard structure(unit costing) not FOR ALL MATERIALS, but only for ONE
VARIANT of generic material (retail solution) (because the other variant have the same price, and because we have to reproduced 5000 BOM in unit cost for just
one variant with transaction KKPA LSMW)
So, now we have to valuated the material cost estimate when the customer create the billing document and put the split of the cost estimate in co-pa
Our prolem is : we have calculate standard cost estimate for 5000
variant not for all variant (because our customer crete the BOM in unit
costing with transaction KKPA and LSMW, and they refuced the idea to
calculate 30000 cost estimate with lsmw) so when we crete a billing
document with a variant that haven't cost estimate created the system doesn't
valuated the cost estimate (the system works well), but how I can change the variant in the valuation and put the variant that have the cost
estimate calculate?
Wiht the transaction "Assign Costing Keys to Any Characteristics" I think
is not possible.
I must to use enhance COPA0002?
Thank you very much

Hi All,
I am also facing the problem for Sales Order Cost Estimate. and the Costing Status is VO(Marked without errors).
I have done the following
created the Costing Key (sales order cost estimate)
assigned costing key to the material type.
assigned to the respective value fields
sales order cost estimate,
Run the RA
Settlement done.
But in COPA, cost estimates are not being split up based on the cost component (like Material, Labour and Over head) and it is getting posted to COGS only.
Do we need to change the costing status to FR, if yes, but how to do ?

Valuation with material cost estimate: error with product "117122"

Hi people,
We have the error:
=====================
Valuation with material cost estimate: error with product "117122"
Diagnosis
In Profitability Analysis (CO-PA), the system tried to valuate a line item using the current standard cost estimate.
In order to determine the current plan period, the system needs to read the valuation segment of the material master.
The system has found that the current plan period is not filled forproduct "117122" in plant "UBE1".
We have the follow configuration in trans.: KE40:
. Determine material cost estimate
   . Transf. Standard Cost Estimate
. Costing Variant
. Control Data for Standard Cost Estimate
   . Period Indicator = "Current Standard Cost Estimate acc. to entry in mat master
. Addiitonal data CO-PC
    . Transfer cost estimate in controlling area currency "activated"
We think the reason about our error is because the field above is activated and some configuration more is necessary for this case. For examplo: Trans.: OKYW and this one was not configurated yet.
Do you know what happend?
If we need to configure some transation, or sonly process the cost estimate?
Thanks,
Rosana.

Hello Guido
Thank you very much for your return.
It is happenning in a Client that some people are doing the configuration.
Before we didin't have in KE40, the fiel "Transfer cost estimate in controlling area currency" activated.
And now, the people activate that in this new Client and I don't know the impact about that.
I think we have to make the configuration in OKYW.
The other transation you told me, we don't have any information.
Could you tell me some other idea what happend?
Message error is just "Message no. KE350"
Abou claculate the cost:
It was calculated by trans.: CK11N for future planning and the real wasn't not possible to release because this material already have moviments.
Could you tell us is there is some thing more to do?
Thanks,
Rosana.

Parallel currency valuation for material management

Dear all,
My comapny is maintaining parallel currency in company code in new GL, does this impact material management also.
Should we need to activate material ledger for parallel valuation in material management, but the company is not actually into production but it still require activation of material ledger.
Regards,

Hi Shilpa,
How I understand it using the U.S as my example:
In the first transaction code, in other words, F.05 or FAGL_FC_VAL are used if the currency in the transaction is not the same as the local currency of the company. For instance, U.S GAAP mandates companies to report their financial statements in local or functional currency. So let's say the transaction currency for a U.S company code is/was GBP. However, GBP is not the local currency of the U.S company code so you would to have perform foreign currency valuation with any of the above named transaction codes using the exchange rate of the key date specified at the time of the valuation. This valuation will then give you a gain or loss as a result of differences between the original amount and the revaluated amount.
The second transaction code FAGL_FC_TRANS valuates the balances or additional currencies. But to be able to run this second transaction code, you would first have to perform FAGL_FC_VAL or F.05 first (this is a prerequisite).
So even if you are to perform currency translation, you will still need to run FAGL_FC_VAL first.
Regards,
Elias

Hi,
As you said there is no data in material master for this material. this may be the reason for this. Try loading this material master and perform attribute change run. This should solve the issue.

Different Valuations for material under a Plant

Dear experts,
I have created the a plant & assigned different storage locations under the plant. Is it possible to have MAP (Valuation) at storage location level?
Is it possible to have split valuation at a plant level or is it at the Company code level?
If it is possible can you send the configuration to my ID vskrishna#gmail.com
Useful answers shall be duly rewarded.
Useful answers duly rewarded

Hi,
It is not possible to have split valuation activated at storage location level. But yes, it is possible to activate it at plant level.
In Material Master Table, at the time of creation of master data, there is a field in Accounting-1 view. The field name is "Valuation Category".
OMWC & OMW0 are t-codes for configuring & activating split valuation.
Specify the valuation category (u can create user defined category also as per your requirement) when creating material at plant level and goto organizational level tab. Select valuation type created through above t-codes to split valuation of material.
Also please note and ensure that if you want to have split valuation of a particular material then it has to have price indicator "V" at header level. And only at split level you can have indicator "S". Bocs if you put indicator "S" at header level you can not have split valuation activated.
please revert in case of any doubt.

3 valuations in Material ledger

Hi,
My client's requirement is as follows:
1) Legal valuation has to be in Local currency but on Actual Costing
2) Profit Center Valuation in Local currency but on standard costing - same as Group valuation
3) Group Valuation in Group currency in standard costing - Group valuation
Is this possible when, Actual costing Material ledger implemented?
I imagin, Legal valuation field in Material Master will be updated by periodic unit price when we run CKMLCP. Then Profit center valuation field in the Material Master will be updated when we run CK40N in standard costing PC valuation costing run. Then again we will run ck40n in standard costing for Group valuation to update Group valuation in Material Master.
If my client opts to run ck40n for legal valuation, then he should also be able to mark and release standard cost new price, in Legal valuation field of material master and actual costing will not release standard price for new period.
The requirement is typically complicated, as my client wants to maintain his Global template, though one country comes under actual costing requirement.
I would like to dig out answers from real time experience please.
Cheers,
Ashok

I can give you some information but not everything. I have gone through the deployment of material ledger using 3 valuations, but not the ones you are using. We used Local, Group and Group at Group. All 3 are at actual costing. What this means is that the local currency is the currency in the country where the plant exists. The group valuation is a straight conversion to US dollars from the local currency based on the currency conversion tables M and P rates. Note that both of these first two currencies can include intercompany profit if reflected on the transferring sales order between companies. The Group at Group is the US dollar conversion without the intercompany profit. We find this works for our business.
The other thing about material ledger is that you need to have a standard cost estimate so that material ledger can keep track of the cos component structure. The way it works is as follows:
Say the standard estimate shows labor=$100, materials=$200 and overhead=$300 for a total cost of $600. All transactions in the month using this material use the $600 standard. Now, when material ledger is run at month end, the PUP (periodc unit price) is calculated and let us assume the PUP values are labor=$150, materials=$250, overhead=$350 for a total PUP of $750. Material ledger already has tables with the details of the standard components against every transaction. Now it will apply the remaining adjustments totalling $150 to the proper cost components for COPA purposes. This is pushed to COPA using transaction KE27. Think of it like this...Actual cost is equal to standard ($600) plus/minus variances ($150).
Therefore, you always should have a standard cost estimate when using material ledger. At least that is my usage and understanding. I hope I provided useful information for you in some way.

Split valuation in material master

Hi all,
I am using val category B. After I create the parent material with val cat B, I am extending it to val type (inhouse prod and externaL proc). But in MM01 >> ORG LEVELS >> VALUATION TYPE, when I do F4, I am getting message 'NO VALUES FOUND' even after I have created it.
Please let me know what would be the possible error ?
Regards,
Yogesh

Hi
For splitting the valuation of material ypu have to maintain first the valuation category H and price control V in Accounting 1 and then split valuated it with the price control S for SFG and FG
These are SPRO setting for Split valuation
1.SPRO> MM>VALN AND ACC ASSIGNMENT> SPLIT VALUATION> Activate Split Valuation
2.SPRO> MM>VALN AND ACC ASSIGNMENT> SPLIT VALUATION> Configure Split Valuation

Change Material non-valuated to material valuated

Hi experts,
I have created a material before doing settings in transaction OMS2, so this material was created as non-valuated.
After that, I have changed the settings in transaction OMS2 (I have marked qty updating and value updating).
I'd like to change the material master - accounting 1 from material non-valuated to material valuated.
Is it possible to do it?
Thanks.

Hi Osmar,
You may change your non-valuated into valuated material, by doing following steps:
1. create new material type for valuated material
2. change your material with the new valuated material type using MMAM
But ensure that new material type should be extended into particular Plant that has been assigned for respective material master.
Cheers,

FIFO Valuation with Material Ledger !

Hi,
How do we accomplish FIFO Valuation using Material Ledger ?
We have activated the Material Ledger, with Single - Level Determination; Standard Price S. On execution of Single-Level Price Determination, we get the Periodic Unit Price -- which is the Weighted Average Price for the Receipts for the period involved.
I came across SAP Forums, which claim that Material Ledger is the FIFO Valuation on real-time basis. However, this doesn't seem to be true. The Goods Issued are assigned the Periodic Unit Price (calculated above -- i.e the Weighted Average Price ).
In addition, we have Configured the FIFO Balance Sheet Valuation Procedure, through the MM menu. The FIFO Value for the Material is giving weird results. Adding the total Inventory for all the Receipts till date and over-riding the period selection for Single Receipts. For monthly receipts, the system just gives the Weighted Average Price again.
The Business is expecting the FIFO valution for the Inventory Balance on Monthly Basis. ( We are using Material Ledger, so that we can roll-up this FIFO Valuation of the Raw Material ito Gross up into the Finished Product
-- Thanks

Hi Kenny ,
BASIC STEPS THAT CAN BE FOLLOWED FOR ENDING INVENTORY VALUATION :
Ending Inventory is valued as per FIFO calculated through following steps:
     Run the price calculation (Txn: KSII) u2013 check that all      auxiliary Cost centers are zero
     Run Txn:MRF3 (summarization of documents for the      FIFO calculation.)
     Run MRF1 (calculation of FIFO)
     Check if the FIFO calc. is correct via MR35
After ML run the ending inventory value should be equal to the value in MR35 and so balance amount not yet loaded to ending inventory through FIFO valuation is posted to consumption
Exception: If total receipts for a period is less than ending inventory quantity .In this case the EI is valued at weighted average
Please check wether the steps have been properly followed and the execption doesnot exists..
Also, hope your Price Determination is "3" and price control is "S" in Material Master..
Regards
Sarada

Split valuation - Header Material - Price det. 3 - Matl. ledger active

Hi,
We have split valuation along with Material ledger and Actual costing active.
My client wants to keep price determination 3 / V for Header Material as it defaults 3 / S while creating subbordinate materials i.e., by valuation types.
Per SAP, the requirement is Price determination 2 and Price control is V for Header Material.
My client questions, what is wrong in keeping 3 in Header level?
Do you have any input for this? as I have only answer, as it's the standard configuration and impact unknown.
Ashok

Hi Ashok ,
The materials with split valuation are there in the MM valuation tables MBEW, EBEW, QBEW with the field 'valuation type' BWTAR filled . The header segment (with field valuation type blank) is only for intermal use of the system .
For such materials with valuation type blank (the header segment of material with split valuation) in Material Ledger only the table CKMLPR contains information, the rest of the tables are empty .
The header segment has always price control V. However, the price of the header segment is NOT a moving average price. It is the weighted average price of all valuation types.
Therefore with a Split valuation scenario the materials are recorded in the system with the field BWTAR not blank and with its own price control independently of the header segment
Hence , i think its immaterial of what ever Price Determination you put in Material Master for header material and hence SAP has recommended "2" for the same . Having Price Determination "3" will not have any impact.. i believe...

Sarada

Valuation Class is determines your type of matrial Following are the some example of valuation class
3000---WP Raw material
7900--WPSemifinished material
7920--Finished material
These are the some exmaples.
Please set material type - valuation class settings in:
SPRO > Material Management > Valuation and Account Assignment > Define Valuation Classes

Material Type
Movement Types
Movement type is to differentiate between the various goods movements.
Some of the goods movement are
261 Goods Issue for Prod Order
101 Goods receipt for Prod order/Purchase order
Goods movement has many control functions attached to it
Material/Accounting documents are generated
It updates the quantity fields
It updates the stock & consumption accounts
T-code to create Movement Type: Transaction OMJJ
Value String is a Tool which is used in Automatic acc.Determination to Trigger the Transaction Event Key....based on Movement Type,Special Stock Indicator,Qty.Updating of the material,Value Updating of the material,Movement Indicator and Consumption Indicator of the Transaction.
Hope this will clear you about your querries
