MR21 differs when stock treated as project stock and from production order

[Former Member]

Dear Ajay,/ Sap gurus,

when we run the cost estimate for the current FG materials at the end of the month and for new materials individual or collective in (CK11n & CK40N) respectively and when comparing it with stock valuation in cost sheet(CK13N) we found difference between them, then we use to take the same material to MR21 so as to display the WBS cost which were attached to any material

any material can contain more than one WBS, and the cost should be the same for all WBS of this material and it should match the cost estimate and stock value

now there are numbers of WBS where we have to correct the standard cost

Is there any standard or proper guidelines or any SAP notes which can solve this issue ?

Please help

Hi

Let me reconfirm my understandinf 1st of all - Are you saying that Value as per CK11N and Value of Project stock must be same??

No standard way exists for this,,,,, You need to do it manually with MR21.. At best, you can develop LSMW or a BDC for the same

Cost calculated from Ck11N is for MTS and where as Stock @ WBS level is Project stock which is valuated separate from MTS inventory

If your requirement is to have same valuation - Then you should modfy your Requirement Class Settings...

Acct Assgn Catg in Req Class: Copy M Acct Assgn Category to a Z and change the Stock indicatror from E to P or Q

Valuation Strategy in Req Class = A

... In this case, your stock will be tagged to WBS, but valuation will be as per CK11N cost

I dont know whether your scenario would permit this or not... you can discuss with your PP/SD/PS consultant

Dear Mr.Ajay,

Many many thanks for the reply but I need more help from you.

MB5L stock report where standard price not matching with Inventory valuation of CK11N. Client is changing the sales order price and WBS in MR21 everytime to match the said report with CK13 inventory valuation price. Now because of this manually adjustment in MR21, revaluation comes, now 1000 of materials is coming like that , the impact will be huge on Inventory and COGS.

SAP has replied the root cause why the differences is coming, i,e, due to project stock pricing is coming diffetrently (some Q and M for normal inventory pricing) but it has not given what the procedure Client will implement.

Client want WBS element's cost should not differ from standard cost. I am unable to present you the detailed scenario as it consists number of screen shots but I think many Organisation is facing the same issue. My client is in Steel industry and 2010 they have implemented SAP ECC 6.

Can you give me from your experience what the client should do so that they dont have to correct the price difference manually everytime MR21 where lots of materials is coming in that way.

Thanks

Hi

In your Requiremetn Class, use the Valuation indicator as A and not M

Hi

Work in conjunction with your PP &SD guys...

Identify the Req Class being used with their help and modify it in IMG > Contr > Prod Cost Contr > Cost Obj Contr > Prod cost by SO > Control of Requirements ........

Dear Mr.Ajay,

I think that is all related to Configuration change. I am showing the problem in a different way.

Here when we are treating stock as project stock/reserved for a particular project, the price will flow from production order, otherwise, price will flow from material master.

Now Production order consists of Mfg.cost selling OHGen.OH, so Is there any way to eliminate overheads from Production order, then How? and if possible what will be the impact in Financial accounts ?

I need your esteemed knowledge regarding the issue in a more simple way if possible.

regards,

Hi

I think we are unnecessarily beating around the bush.... If you want GR from Prod Order attached to a Project, but valuation same as the Ck11N cost, then what I asked you to do above is the ONLY way out

If you want to eliminate overheads from prod order, you can do it by eliminating Costing sheet from your Valuation Variant assigned to prod order type...
