How to Cancel Marking Allowance?

[Former Member]

Hi friends,

By mistake we have done the marking allowance in CK24 tcode for wrong version and then released the cost estimates.

Know when i tried to cancel the marking allowance i am getting a message "Company code 1000: Release already carried out, cancellation not possible" message no CK797

We tried CKR1 also, but of no use.

Can any one tell me any SAP notes or programs through which we can cancel marking allowance.

All your valuble thoughts will be highly appreciated and rewarded.

Thanks & Regards

When you removed the cost estimate by re-organizing run, did the cost estimate go out the material master?

If have removed it, then, when you click the Marking allowance, the icon with an arrow pointing to the left down direction within a square, it should ideally permit you to cancel.

Once you relese the cost estimate , the system will update the current price, and you can Reorganize in CKR1 , but you are saying it is not allowing you to do that, But ideally it should work , try one more time choose the plant and choose "current cost estimate" in control parameters.

Hi Sridhar & Parthu,

Thanks for your time & inputs.

In the SAP Help it is clearly saying that

"If a standard cost estimate has already been released in the company code, you cannot cancel the allowance for marking and marking. Otherwise, you receive a message telling you the number of materials for which marking was canceled."

Do any one know any SAP notes or programs which can be used in rare circumstances like we are in.

Request all to participate and give their valuable inputs.

Warm Regards

Any Ideas from any one?

Hi friends,

Because of the above problem, we are getting problems in profitability analysis as we gave differnt version in "Setup valuation using material cost estimate" than what we set in Marking allowance for this period.

The problem in profitability analysis is that the values from cost estimate are not flowing in to profitability analysis when billing is done.

Can any one suggest even round around solution to come out of this problem.

Hi Ravi,

table FVMK stores the marking allowance, the only way I think is to clear this.

Its FVMK-FREIG that you would need to adjust in SE16(N).

Thanks Elaine Fitz,

When i checked in SE16N for FVMK table in the initial selection screen there is delete option but in the contents screen there is no option to clear or delete an entry.

Can you explain in detail how to clear entries in FVMK using se16n.

Wanted to know on any problems in doing so like this.

Warm Regards

Hi Ravi

you would have to have correct authorizations as this is a little "cheat".

If you had an abap'er they could write a program to do this. SAP used to provide this in a note but its not something they support.

With SE16N on the selection screen if you type (removed)in the ok-code box and press enter, if you have the correct authorization "maintain entries" becomes checked. You can now edit the table entry.

Its like using debug edit mode in the old SE16.

Like i said this is a cheat as technically the system is correct.

Hope this helps somewhat.

Thanks Elaine for your valuable inputs.

Since there can be other problems coming in by doing like this, we are thinking for round around solution of passing manual JV's or changing COPA configuration.

Any further thoughts are highly appreciated.

Hi Ravi

From what i can gather you have released an incorrect costing. You need to delete the costing via CKR1 or use the REDO function in the same transaction(see note 410619).

So long as the period is not in the past you could now do a re-costing.

If though the marking allowance is incorrectly set the only workaround I know is as described.

I can't comment on JV impacts but in terms of COPA the recosting would pass the correct information into PA.

Best of luck with it.
