Change Valuation Class for the changed Material Type.

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

I have a requirement where in I need to change the material type of a material which I eventually did but now need to change the Valuation class & Valuation Catagory as well..

As per my knowledge, following are pre requisites..

a) No stock in present and Previouos period

b) No open Purchase Orders / Prodn Orders or Reservations.

c) No open Sales orders

Now all the above conditions have been satisfied but still the system says that the material is assigned to a sales order. The sales order is complete with its last step of billing too.

Why still this error? What may be the possible reasons? Your Invaluable inputs will be highly appreciated.

Thanks

the problem is that the sales order is still there. you have to archive it.

Hi Jürgen,

I was expecting your valuable response which is most of the time very precise and accurate.

You mean to say, we need to delete or archive the sales order / purchase order to which it was assigned? Merely completion of PO /SO does not suffice?

Thanks

Please read OSS Note 160970 - Change valuation class: production order/purchase order

It gives a solution without archiving, but then you must ensure from an organizational viewpoint that no inconsistencies can occur after a valuation class is changed

Hi Jürgen,

I tried to simulate the scenario in lower clinets and I have one doubt. Why should we need to Archieve the Sales order ( in our case created with ref to service order) when the order is fully complete/ techo done and even the billing has happened for the same? Thanks Shashi

the reason is explained in the OSS note I mentioned earlier
