clearing the GR/IR - for experts !

[Former Member]

Hello,

We have a problem in clearing the GR/IR

The scenario is this:

We entered a PO with invoice based GR and posted good receipt,

Then we changed the valuation class of the material.

In the new valuation class the GR/IR GL is different from the one poseted in the good reciept.

After changing the valuation class we posted the invoice, this created

a situation where the good receipt is on one GL and the invoice is on another.

In MR11 we cannot automatically clear these lines.

The lines are not shown.

And we cannot clear these lines manually because they are GR/IR accounts.

and we cannot cancel the invoices because they are already payed. and the posting a a few years ago...

Have you got any idea of how to get rid of those lines?

Thanks,

Shachar

dear Kedar Kulkarni

thanks for your replay

but changing the current valuation class will not change the old posts to different accounts.

do you know of any other way then MR11?

Thanks

Hi,

to close this issue change valuation class to earlier one and carry out transaction and after closing this matter change to new one.

in future before doing any changes in valuation class follow the following

If you want to change the valuation class, there may be because of one or more of the following already exist for the material:

1) Valuated stocks in the current period or in the previous period.

2) Open purchase orders may be there.

3) Production orders which a goods movement has already taken place.

For this first you have to do the following:

If valuated stocks already exist, you can change the valuation class only:

a) Post the stocks of the material to an interim account.

b) Change the valuation class in the material master record.

c) Post the stocks of the material back to their original account.

If open purchase orders already exist, you can only change the valuation class if you first flag the corresponding purchase order items for deletion.

If production orders exist for which a goods movement has already taken place, you can only change the valuation class if you first set the status of the production orders to deleted
