Hi all,

We have several company codes in same system, only one with production and the other in other countries but only Market companies. Now should the production company have plants abroad to another country. When we create the invoice from our plant abroad to their customer we got following error message:

Error message KE350 - valuation with material cost estimate; error with product XXXX.

We don´t have production in the plant abroad. We want standard price in the plant abroad with price calculation through MR21. How can we come through this?

Best Regards Lisa

Hi

You have 2 options - One to avoid this error msg and the other to resolve it..

1. Create a special procurement key (This will resolve) in OMD9....

Assign it in the mat master of the selling plant... I am assuming the selling plant abroad is in the same company as mfg plant...

With this, when you run CK11N in selling plant, it will fetch the std cost of the production plant....

if the plants are not in same company code, then you need to activate cross comp code costing in your costing variant

However, this will increase your activity of releasing the cost in selling plant...

2. Second option is (To avoid the error) and I would prefer this as it is logical also

I think You have assigned costing keys to your mat types in KE4J... Thats why you get this error for all plants

If you dont want to get this error for sales plant and also dont want to release cost estimate there, then remove costing keys from KE4J

Instead, use KEPC...

a. CLick on create

b. Choose "Assignment"

c. In the source fields, choose chars PLANT, MAT TYPE along with BWFKT VRGAR VERSI

d. Now click on "Maintain Rule values"

e. Maintain your costing keys for the combination of PLANT/MAT TYPE just as you did in KE4J for MAT TYPE alone

This will resolve your issue

There is a busness issue in here as well - Surely getting the material into a different country is going to mean extra costs incurred in moving the goods, which costs should be included in the carrying value of the stock. In such a case, you would need to do a new cost estimate in the marketing plant, reflecting the carrying alue of the stock.

The technical solution will work provided that the carrying cost/cost of goods sold s identical in all the plants in all the countries.

Hi

Lisa already said that she wants to use MR21 in the selling plant.. So, MR21 would cater to Mfg cost of the original plant + transportation cost and taxes etc

Hi Ajay

I have a related question. Even after doing MR21, is it not required to re-run costing to get updated std cost .

Thanks

Hi

Its a choice... If you want to have COGS breaked up into Cost components, you need to run cost estimate

Else, MR21 price would update into VPRS condition type and the same flows to COPA as one single value of COGS w/o break up
