Valuation View In CO

[Former Member]

Dear Expert,

My client already used SAP Ecc 6.0 with standard cost.

Now they want change primary currency from IDR to USD and Controlling area still want to use IDR. Then activate ML and Actual Cosing.

1. For this Request i able to use pararell currency in FI but in CO should i use Legal Valuation for Company Code and Group Valuation for CO Area in this situation where company code and controlling area user different currency ?

2. For CO Area can i use old CO Area or Create New One ?

3. For Chart Of depreciation can i use Old COA or create new COA ?

4. If i use several valuation, can i only use Legal and Group Valuation without Profit Center valuation active ? what is the impact ?

5. If i use several valuation should i run cost estimate in each Valuation (Legal and Group ? )

6. In maintain currency and valuation profile should i assign currency company code currency (10) and Group Currency (30) to each Valuation or both i assign to legal valuation ?

7. My client want transaction in Company Code currency will translate using rate in OB08 to Controlling area in transaction Production Order, Coste Estimate.

8. In CKMLCP is there function for running ineach valuation ( Legal and Group ? )

Need advise from expert.

Thank You,

Iwan

Dear Iwan,

1. For this Request i able to use pararell currency in FI but in CO should i use Legal Valuation for Company Code and Group Valuation for CO Area in this situation where company code and controlling area user different currency ?

Once if ML is productive, you could not change currencies.

You set the primary currency per country in the IMG settings in the following menu path

SAP Netweaver >General Settings>Set Countries-->Define Countries in mySAP Systems.

If you wish to reconcile with FI, you have to configure currencies in FI using OB22 screen.

Coming to co, you can configure currencies in currency and valuation profile and assign it to controlling area using 8KEQ ,8KEM

In ML , you will be having 3 valuation views

Company code currency legal valuation

Group currency Group valuation

Group currency Profit center valuation

Although if you are using different company code currency and controlling area currency and wish to use the same in ML, they will get transferred directly to ML.

Here your question is little bit unclear, could you explain more

2. For CO Area can i use old CO Area or Create New One ?

You can use old CO area and why would you want to create New

3. For Chart Of depreciation can i use Old COA or create new COA ?

You can use Old COA and why would you want to create New

4. If i use several valuation, can i only use Legal and Group Valuation without Profit Center valuation active ? what is the impact ?

No impact if you are using legal and group valuation . Once if PCA is active you have to activate profit center valuation view otherwise not necessary

5. If i use several valuation should i run cost estimate in each Valuation (Legal and Group ? )

    No need  to run for each valuation

6. In maintain currency and valuation profile should i assign currency company code currency (10) and Group Currency (30) to each Valuation or both i assign to legal valuation ?

In C and V profile, you should assign company code currency 10 to legal valuation , Group currency 30 to group valuation .

7. My client want transaction in Company Code currency will translate using rate in OB08 to Controlling area in transaction Production Order, Coste Estimate.

It wont translate using rate in ob08 to controlling area in transaction production order, Cost estimate

8. In CKMLCP is there function for running ineach valuation ( Legal and Group ? )

No need to run separately for each valuation view and you can view the results in Accounting 1 TAB of material master

Dear Hemanth,

Thank you for your detail exlpanation.

For paoint :

1. There are 2 company code which is assin in same CO Area, in this situation CO Area Should using currency tyoe 30 as group curency. and your explanation in this point makes me clear

2. CO Area. in Old CO Area using currency type 10 which is same with company code currency. since the company code will change to USD ( it means i will create new companycode in this step) then its not possible to change currency type from 10 to 30 because in this CO Area already contains data from old transaction.

Please correct me if i'm wrong hemanth or you have another solution.

3. For COA. in old COA using IDR and now have to change to USD, i think this is same with CO Area, where there already data from old transaction with IDR.

Please correct me if i'm wrong hemanth or you have another solution.

4. its clear for me since the PCA active and Operating Concern active. i should use legal valuation, group valuation and profit center valuation.

5. How to configure this in CO so that only run Legal valuation in cost estimate ? in my client i configure Maintain Version for each valuation (Legal, Group and PC ), also in costing variant i create each valuation, also in costing type i create for each valuation.

because if i run cost estimate only in legal valuation when i display material master FG in MM03, there is an error when i click accounting 1 view.

Is there any missing configuration i have done ?

6. its clear for me.

7. If not using OB08 for rate that use in production order and cost estimate in CO Area so what kind of rate does this transaction takes rate ? since Production Order using USD and i should able to see in Group Currency as IDR even in Cost Estimate ?

Please correct me if i'm wrong hemanth or you have another solution.

8. its clear for me.

Thank you,

Iwan

Hi Iwan,

Your stance for questions 2 and 3 is correct.

Coming to 5th, If you are working with single valuation, you need to configure costing type for that valuation and if working with multiple valuations need to configure costing types for the relevant valuations for creating cost estimates

check whether the indicator Currency from co indicator is flag or not in transaction OMX2 i.e,, Assign currency type to ML type , if not set it and configure the currencies in currency and valuation profile in 8KEM and assign it to controlling area in 8KEQ . Now you could be able to see different valuations in Accounting 1 Tab of Material master .

Coming to 7th, If it is invoice verification you need to configure exchange rate translation and calculation . It is not possible to see the cost estimate in multiple currencies.kindly understand to avail the functionality of Multiple currencies, we are using ML-Actual costing.

Hi Iwan

Few important points: In 1:N situation must be  share same chart of accounts and same fiscal year variant (FYV)

If some of the companies follow a diff FYV and still you want to have single co area, in that case you have to use parallel ledger. The companies will have to have same FYV as others. But, can report in parallel ledger on the basis of local FYV.

Iif your companies are spread across globe, separate controlling areas are always best option as that provides better control. You can have period lock settings in CO only at the co area level. So, it would be better managed at 1-1 basis

A single controlling area may easily consolidate your CO reports, however your cost center hierarchy and other master data hierarchies would also become huge if contr area is one..

The above points are very important to understand while taking decision.

Hi

Your questions are mixed up with so many things....You must put your question based on definite requirement.....

1. If your CCode and CO area is 1: 1 relation then always CO area currency is same as CCode currency

2. If your CO area and CCode having 1:N relation then it is better to maintain CO area currency as Group currency and CCode currency as per local currency though you may have other option also

Now in regards to ML :

1. ML / Actual costing ha 2 special benefits

    a) Multiple valuation approach where you will get legal Valuation ( CCode currency), Group Valuation (Gr Currency) and PC valuation (as per PC Currency)

   b) Actual costing

Based on the above basic parameters you have to define whole structure..please revert back with specific requirements

Hi Kamal,

For point

1. In CO Area and Companycode using 1 : N. so clear for me sholud use Group Currency in CO Area.

Regards to ML

1. ML/Actual Costing

a. Multiple Valuation

I should use Legal, Group and Profit Center in parallel Currency FI and should using Legal, Group and Profit Center Valuation. Where Legal using USD, Group Using IDR and Profit Center Valuation Using same with legal Valuation USD.

b. Actual Costing

Could you give me detail explanation what should i do in Actual costing for this to define whole structure ?

Thank you,

Iwan

[kamalkumar_biswas2]

Hi Siahaan

Yes..you have to configure whole structure of Actual Costing...and then activate
