Not able to change the valuation class

[Former Member]

Dear All

I am not able to change the valuation class for a material in particular plant.

It is not split valuated

No stocks exist in this plant

But, when I click on 'display errors' (in MM02 transaction), it is showing some open POs for this plant for this material. But these are not open POs in real. I have confirm the same with ME2M for this material and plant selecting seleciton parameters as WE101. Here, i am getting message 'no suitable purchase documents found'.

What can be the cause of these open POs (which are not acutally open, as for full quantity GR and IR is done for all POs)?

Because of this error, I am not able to change the valuation class I suppose. Can you please help me out of this issue.

Thank you

*You cannot change the valuation class until,

1. Valuated stock exists in the plant.

2. Open P.O's exist.

So to overcome this, you need to make stock as zero and this can be done by posting to interim account.

if it is for a few material numbers you can do it through Tcode MM42, accounting View

if you need to change many material number, so you have to use Tcode MM17

You have to eliminate those problems that is reported by SAP.

E.g.:

- no stock in current and previous period has to exist (eliminate stock: MB1A201posting date in the past; reset stock level: MB1A+202)

- transactional data has to be deleted

- if there are goods movement in current period you have to cancel all of them or you have to wait till the first day of the next period

If you want to change valuation category as well, you have to archive batch master records

For open PO's mark PO item as deleted. Then it is possible to change the valuation class.

Goto ME2M, give the selection parameter as open target quantity, you will get the list of Open PO's. Also ME80FN is the good report to get the open POs.

Hi

Did you check for any open Production orders in COOIS? Please check again for the OPEN PO.

Use SE11 and table EKPO and inside use the material to find out for any PO existance, this is the best way to close the issue, you will find it here for any PO if at all it is there.

Changing the Message setting will not slove the issue as you might get the same error again for some other material again.

you have to flag the POs for deletion. If SAP still complaints, then you have to archive the POs.

Hi,

Check in MMBE, there you can confirm the reason for open PO's, even if stock in transit also you cannot do it.

Hi

Check for open purchase orders or schedulling agreements. If nothing you find, then remove the error message (warning) message MM326/327 and try. But give this last priority if you do not find any open documents.

Hi

I forgot to mention one thing in my query. All POs are with item category L. But for all these PO items both GR and IR is already been done for full quantity as per the PO history. Also at header level status tab, still to be delivered quantity is zero.

I suppose, the item category L is not considered in arriving the message while changing the valuation class with MM02. While with ME2M with selection parameter WE101 no open documents are found.

Thank you all for your quick reply.

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
