Hi,

Generally for each valuation area (plant) there will be allowed valuation categories at spro.Each valuation category will have its own valuation types.

When you create the material you can give the valuation category for the accounting view.If you provide system will allow to provide valuation type.

Please check wheather the split valuation is properly defined at sprommvaluation--split valuation and if proper valuation categories and types have been defined for your valuation area.

If every thing is fine there , please check the accounting view at MM02 and provide the category if not there (supposing accounting view is available intially for this material )and save.

Now create the accounting view at MM01 for the valuation type you require and save.

you have to archive the batches using SARA with object MM_SPSTOCK

DEAR SIR,

CAN I USE THIS SAME ARCHIVE BATCH AFTER ATTACHING THE VALUATION CATEGORY????

If the batch is archived, then it is physically deleted from the database.

if you are allowing external batch number assignment, then you can create the same batch number again after you have done your changes.

However, if you archive this bach some day in the future, and you use an archive information structure to read archived data, then you will get this batch twice and you might not remember why.

archiving is a process rather than a transaction, it requires customizing and good process understanding.

Archiving means KEEPING date outside of SAP production tables, it is not jsut deleting, as the data may still be needed for internal and external audits. maybe for ten or more years.

Before you can archive a batch, you may have to archive other objects, where this batch was used.

This can be seen in SARA. Enter MM_SPSTOCK then click the network button.

If you still do not give up and create a new material, as this is certainly the quicker solution, then you need to define where you want store your archived data and then customize the logical and physical paths and file names. Best you do this step together with your basis team.

The customizing can be done via the customizing button in SARA transaction.

Further you have to define how big your archive shall be, and if you want delete immediatly after writing the archive automatically or if you want do that as extra step manually.

You have to define your test and production variants in customizing too.

Next is clicking the write button, give a variant name and continue to maintain your selection screen.

Then schedule the job and execute it.

Check the spool for messages, it tells you whether it could archive or not and if not why not.

Hi,

Please create a duplicate material with batch management activation. Now you transfer the stock with batches from old material and new material using mvt type 309 and your old material stock will be zero and no open POs or any other documents for the material should exist.

Now you include the valuation category for your material and do tranfer posting from material to material again and bring the original stock and batched with valuation category.

Hi

If your material is batch specific, then you can have different valuation for different batches, then I dont thin you require split valuation again in this case.

Thanks

Dear Praveen,

I think that You saying that If material does not assign the split valuation than,you can also assign this split valuation at Batch Level.

If i am maintaining valuation type at Batch Level than system make a accounting document correctly?

Thanks for your reply.

pls reply me urgently,This issue is very important for me.(High priority For me)
