Cost of material charged to project but qty remains in stock

[former_member553855]

Dear Gurus,

I have a scenario, we have project systems PS. We have valuated projects and valuated project stock. Once project is over and if we have material left over, then my client want to charge the cost of the material to the project but he want to keep the stock at zero value in inventory, and issues it next time on zero value.

I have tried to transfer material using 415 Q, but system does not allow to transfer materaial from valuated project to non-valuated project.

kindly suggest any solution.

Hi,

To change the valuated project stock to non valuated project stock The Non-valuated project stock indicator must be set in the project definition. In the material master, the Individual/Collective indicator on the MRP 4 tab page must be set to Individual (1) or Individual/Collective (). Please refer below link for better clarity. Thanking you.

Dear,

my client wants to charge the leftover material cost to project but want to keep the qty in stock, so this is why we have a nonvalauted project. otherwise my client projects are valuated. i have not find any solution to charge the cost of material to project from project stock and keep the stock in inventory on zero value. and next time when this leftover is issued it will be issued on zero value.

hope u have a solution.

Hi,

You can issue the materials to the project and upload at 0 value using 561 movement type in the same project. This should solve the problem.

Hi,

You can transfer valuated project stock to non valuated project stock using the movement type 309 Q in MB1B transaction. Thanking you.

Dear

This movement type is used transfer material from project stock to plant stock. We want to trasnfer material from valuated project to non-valuated project.

Kindly suggest some other solution.

Hi,

You have already costed this material in the project and hence there is no question of transfering stock to same project at 0 cost.

Also, once project is over you will not be required to keep stock in that project. You customer must be asking to keep stock at 0 value in inventory only so that for any future project it can be issued directly.

There is no such transfer in standard SAP.

You might want to create another plant and same material that is non-valuated. Then you do plant to plant transfer or inventory adjustment.
