split valuation

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

I have activated split valuation for material XX. For that the stock which was present in XX material transferred(movement type 309) to YY material with batch. Now stock is zero. when i am going to activate split valuation in material master it displaying error that

material XX 1030 3500

Batches already exist.

WM stocks (quants) already exist.

Can any body explain me why this error is coming though stock is zero in warehouse also.

Thank you

Hi

Please check if is there any posting change notice, TR and TO open for the material (LU04, LB11, LT24). I guess it gets created when u transfer material in IM with movement 309.

Hi

Please chek with LU04 for the material any posting change notice created. If so for that create TO and confirm.

Check from LB11 any TR for the material. If so crate TO and confirm.

Check from LT24 any TO pending for confirmation , if so please confirm.

Please check from MMBE and LS24 and no stock should be there in both tcode for your material.

I checked in t code LU04 there it is showing open TO items for movement type 321. How to clear this one?

Thank you

I guess LU04 screen shows you for your material only . Please select the line and click on 'Create TO button'. This will go to TO creation screen. Create TO and confirm.

LU04, LB11 and LT24 screen shoulb be blank for pending item for your material in WM.

What about MMBE stock? Is that nil?

in mmbe current stock is zero. in t code lu04 material documents related to movement type 321 are showing. when i clicking on create TO error coming that no quant exist. But in t code mm02 when i entering valuation category error coming that at plant level stock exist.

Select the line from LU04 and click on display. get posting change no and go to change mode. Fill the field "Post.Chge Status" with "U" and save it.

What is the status in LS24, LB11 and LT24 for your material and warehouse combination ? These all should be blank.

also try with MM01 instead of MM02.

But change mode is not coming. It is showing in display only.

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

get the posting change no and use tcode LU02.

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

Yep. Posting change i have made as U. Still i am getting error in material master accounting view that

The valuation category cannot be

changed for the following reasons:

Stocks already exist at plant level.

Material Plnt SLoc

40000051 1030 3500

Batches already exist.

I checked ls24 lu04 and lt24 all are blank.

Thank you

Maria -

From MM02 i guess you are entering valuation category 'X' and then getting the message. In this case click on 'Display error' button. It will show what are the pending items to be cleared for this. e.g PO, sales order, delivery also needs to clear or delete. After clearing all this try to assign 'X' in accounting view.

No PO sales order or delivery exist.

In MM02 I am getting error that for plant and storage location stock exist.

I checked every where no stock exist.

Thank you

Maria,

No stock should exist in previous and current period. In MB5B you can check the stock level in previous period...

You can eliminate stock in the past by MB1A + 201 + posting date in the past. Later, after change you can use MB1A + 202 to reset the stock level.

Batch masters should be archived to be able to execute the change.

You can find many threads in this issue on the forum...

How to archieve the batch master. If batch master is not archieved what will be the problem?

[csaba_szommer · Accepted solution]

Hi,

If your material is batch managed and you do not archive the batch masters you won't be able to set split valuation for your material.

As for archiving batches please check SAP online help:
