Variant Config. stock valuation.

Hi all,
We have implemented variant config with controlling. Finished material is valued at Sale order stage (Sales order costing). While uploading the stock, some of the materials are valued at std. price maintained in the material master instead of sales order costing. These materials are not valued at Std. cost estimate (CK40N).
Can anybody suggest how to rectify these values? One option is to recost the material in VA02 but it will not overwrite the stock value.
I am also looking for a functionality whereby I can recost these materials in one screen instead of going into VA02 for individual Sales order.

Hi Bhaven,
Your problem is that you have "some of the materials are valued at std. price maintained in the material master instead of sales order costing".
I think it is important to understand the following concepts and test with your logistics folks:
If you are using material type KMAT for VC, then there should not be any standard price as KMAT does not allow Accounting views, only costing views.
The lower level BOM of FINISHED KMAT may or may not be KMAT. BOM may have dependent requirements or independent requirements. Please check with your planning folks. Dependent requirements are generally MTO stock valued from sales order cost. Independent requirements are generally MTS stock valued from material master cost estimate.
If BOM is structured in the above way, then when we load inventory, it will take the value depending on the settings in material master, whether it is MTS or MTO material and whether the requirements are dependent or independent.
Valuated sales order stock must be linked to a sales order. Just because the material is marked as MTO in planning strategy, it will not have sales order COST.
I think we have to load open sales order and do the GR receipt as part of cutover, so it takes the sales order cost for MTO Inventory. (Test with your logistics folks)
OR
If you are doing 561 for MTO material, then it should ask for sales order.(Test with your logistics folks)
One of the two above should work.
You can reach me [email protected]

Actuals for stock valuated materials in a valuated project stock

Hi friends!
Iu2019m working with materials in the project, and we are going to do direct external procurement from the project. The material we are using are valuated stock and in the project I have valuated project stock.
The requirements are that the vendor give us the material prices, and the material will not be consumed by the project(WBS/network). All the material will be collected to the special project stock until we decide to move the material to the unrestricted stock to be consumed by another department in the company. All the actual cost must follow-up in the project.
This is what I do:
From the project I create material components and I create the PO requisition I got the same price as in the project. Thatu2019s ok.
When I convert the PO requisition to the PO I got no price but if I save I got the latest used price for the material and this could varied and it´s ok but should not work like this for this scenario.
My doubts are when I do the goods receipt (MIGO) and the price of the material in the PO are not the same as the stock valuated price I got the difference as actuals in the project and the valuation of the material are in the project stock. If the price of the PO is the same as the valuation price I got no actuals in the project.
When I register the invoice from the vendor (MIRO) I got no actuals either so I cannot do my project follow-up costs. When I check the cost they are in accounting (balance sheet account).
When I do the material movement with 411Q to unrestricted stock I donu2019t get any actuals in the project either.
Is this a normal behavior when using stock valuated materials in a valuated project stock?
I SAP help I found this information for non valuated project stock:
u201CAll the actual production costs appear in the project because no price variances can occur and all external procurement follow-up costs are debited to the WBS element.u201D
But if the best practice is to use valuated project stock why follow-up costs cannot be done in the project?
Please give me some ideas of this,
Best regards
Jose Marin

If the mateiral was created using the no stock material material type then yes you can see this material in MM60. Search using material type 'NLAG' for non stock.

Inclusion of indirect material costs in the finished stock valuation

Gurus,
I need to include the costs of the indirect materials (such as fuels, consumables) etc. to the finished stock valuation. I want to treat these costs as overheads and include them to the finished stock valuation through cost sheets. Initially I would post these materials against the cost centers, but I am not sure how to include those costs to the finished stock valuation through the cost sheets. Request your advice on the same.
Thanks in advance!
Snigdho.

Hi
Attach this costing sheet to your valuation variant / costing variant
Release the std cost based on this costing variant... Your std cost would include Overheads as well... hence, your inventory value would include overhead

MI31 - Phy Inv. - how to exclude Variant Config Materials

For our Variant Cofiguration Materials (parent materials) we don't have stock to count for the physical inventory (MI31). The company would like to exclude these items from the material selection automatically.
I've looked around in the IMG for material master and in physical inventory but I didn't find anything that looked like a "exclude from Phys Inv." indicator or anything that could be used on one of these materials.
The site could "exclude" the individual material #'s in the selection screen of the MI31 transaction and save a variant or something...but it would have to always be monitored when new materials were created, etc. Company would like to know if there is a configuration setting of some kind that can exclude a Variant Material from the phys inventory run.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jason

what is wrong with ACC TO STOCK settings?
Does it exclude to much? more than you expect?
Unfortunatly you have not done anything in your design to distinguish Variant Config Materials from standard materials.
Same material type mean probably the same number range as well.
I have other ways to select, but it depends on the number of materials that are in this material type.
How many do you have in that material type, how many do you want to exclude.
How often will you count?

Variant Config - Changing char value on Prod Order component

Experts,
We have a situation where we need to manually add Material Variants as components on a given Production Order's component list. This is in cases where stock for the material variant is available & can be used.
We use ECC 6.0 with certain features of DIMP (SDUD) turned on for Mill Products (along with Variant Config). After adding the Material Variant on the Production Order, we want to edit/change/add characteristic values to the Class 300 characteristics. I've tested this & while it is possible for a configurable material, system does not allow to change char values on the material variant.
Does anyone know of a way to enhance the system in order to achieve this?
Thanks

Just a thought.
let's assume the characteristic you want is called CHAR.
Then create a dummy characteristic called DUMMY. Create values 'ASSIGNED' and 'BLANK' for DUMMY.
Create a dependency for the values of DUMMY
for 'ASSIGNED':
CHAR SPECIFIED
for 'BLANK':
NOT SPECIFIED CHAR
Then go back in each value of characteristic CHAR and create another dependency as follows:
DUMMY eq 'ASSIGNED'
that way the system should only display those values of CHAR for which DUMMY has a value...
It's a bit of a circular thought I know... Not implemented anything like it myself but it just might work

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).

Stock valuation down to Storage location level

Dear all,
System setup for stock valuation is till Plant level. And understand that's how data stored in table MBEW and MBEWH until plant level only.
Eventhough that is system standrd, is that possible to get the stock valuation until Storage location level?
For eg: In MB5B, there is opening stock, closing stock and the material movement posting. I need to get opening and closing stock for each storage location.
Could you please comment if there are tables store these data? Kindly comment.

Hi Afshad Irani,
Thanks for your reply. Understand from the previous post that stock valuation for storage location can be done via table MARDH or report MC.9, but this tools are excess base on period/month basis.
My case, i need to report storage location stock for both (1)last month 06.2010 and (2)yesterday's stock 06.07.2010. So i can use MARDH table to report (1)last month stock for each storage location. While for (2) yesterday stock, table MARDH isn't help.
Could you please advice further?

Stock Valuation - Inventory Management Cube

Dear Sap Gurus,
We have implemented the Inventory Management Cube in BW.
Quantities are correct, but we have difference on the stock valuation.
For some material stock value are correct, for some other they are not correct.
A saw a lot of OSS notes and how to on this subject, I am trying to solve this issue using these documents, but based on your experience could you explain me how you solved this issue ????
Thanks,

Hi
Did you follow the correct steps?
Initialisation of BX data in the first step.(Loading of Opening Stock)
Then The request in which the opening stock was loaded must always be
compressed with a marker update
Init load of BF And UM in the second step
The request in which the historical material documents were contained
must always be compressed without a marker update and
Successive delta uploads must always be compressed with marker
updates
Check this whether you have done this or not.
Because of missing the steps here also would give you wrong values,
Regards
Ram

Storage location wise project stock valuation

Hi all,
I am tying to generate a report for storage locationwise project stock valuation. MBBS is giving the data valuation type as well as WBS element wise valuation.That is fine. I want to show the data storage location wise. So, I have taken MSPR table where I am getting data storage location wise. For this stock, i am picking up unit price from QBEW table. My user says there will be cases that the material comes in with different prices in a same financial period.Here I am facing issue when there are two prices for the same material with same Val.area and same WBS element .Pls tell me how can I pick up the correct price.

Hi,
If stock with different price under 1 plant and 1 WBS Element put into different storage location based on the material price then in table MSPR we can have LGORT (storage location) as indicator there. Otherwise, since valuation type is not implemented, there is no other way you can differentiate stock based on price as you mentioned before.

Stock valuation Report problem in crystal

Hello
I have created Stock Valuation report on crystal & give parameter For Selection 'from Date' To 'To DATE'
I maintain 'On Hand' field for quantity available in between selected period
But Suppose I have Item code 'X01' having actual balnce qty 67 between 1 Jully 2011 To 31 jully 2011 when i run the
report by same date it display 67 qty it right but the Item 'X01' Sold out 5 Qty on date 2 Augst and i again run the report
between date 1 Jully 2011 and 31 jully 2011 it Show 62 qty but upto 31st Jully i have 67 Qty remaining but it show 62 this is wrong
so how i brought 67 qty upto 31 Jully in Crystal Report
In Inventory audit Report it show perfect qty on date selection but i want right value in my crystal report

Hi,
The on hand balance is dynamic. You can not get it from any table for historical balance.
You have to create a temporary table to calculate from day one of inventory transaction for the item.
Thanks,
Gordon

Stock valuation at store level

Hi Experts
I've added the charactaristic 0STOR_LOC to cube 0RT_C36 to have stock cost by store, however, it's not working as expected, totals for any other characteristic (plant, material, month, day .. ) and ratios quantity and stock value are working fine but when I drill down to plant->store the quantities are ok but the stock value is not.
the question is, it's possible to have stock valuation at store level?, i understand that the valuation in R/3 is at plant level not store, but in infosource 2is_03_bf we have 0STORE_LOC, so it makes sense to have a finner grain isn't it?
I compare data from bw with transactions MC.5, with transaction RWBE its not possible have stock value at store level.
thanks for any help

Thank you for your quick reply
I've checked the link, which is just what I was looking for ...
by the way, do you know where the these how to papers have gone?, I used to get them in
http://service.sap.com/bi -> service & implementation -> HOW TO ... Guides -> BW 3.x (or something like that)
now there is a list under
http://service.sap.com/bi -> service & implementation -> HOW TO ... Guides -> Guide List Sap BW 3.5 - part of NW 04
a list like this appears:
Cross-Component Technical Scenarios
Portal, KM and Collaboration
Web Application Server
Business Intelligence
Master Data Management
Exchange Infrastructure
which is almost empty, so where the howto papers are gone?
thanks again

In Project stock valuation during GR MAP is picked up from VMVER field

Hi!
We are facing an issue during the GR of Material in Production order.
I will explain the scenario:
The main material is valuated in MAP (Moving average price).
On creation of the production order the planned value is coming ok ( summation of components).
As it was a project valuation, the MAP values are getting stored in the table QBEW.
The point of concern is at the time of doing GR the actual value is getting picked up from the field VMVER (=MAP/Period unit price in previous period)
and not from the field VERPR (= MAP/Period unit price).
As per the scenario the system must consider the latest MAP value that is from VERPR and not from VMVER.
Can't find out what setting is affecting this selection.
Abhra

Hi,
I am still having problems with this issue. The material is extended for plant 1200 and a valuation class and project stock valuation class have been set.
Is there a configuration setting required?

BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2 is not carrying out pricing for variant config materials

Hi Guys
I need to create a BAPI to create sales orders coming in through a web service from an external system, for normal materials all works well, but for variant config materials the pricing is not happening, like the way it does when I manually create an order, I don't want to manually pass the pricing condition in BAPICOND as I want the BAPI to dynamically determine the conditions from the access sequence.
While debugging VA01 I found that the control goes to the 'PRICING' function module twice, ones for the main material , and next for all its config materials, the second time it calls the 'PRICING' fm with pricing type 'O'. Here it selects the price for all the variant materials and loads into an internal table vkomv and displays in VA01 the variant materials that we select while creating the order, but in the case of the BAPI call, the control is going only to the 'PRICING' fm call for the header.
I have passed 'V' in the application parameter and the variant material in the varcond parameter of the BAPICOND structure.
Any idea what I might be missing ??
Thanks
Sameer
