change non valuated material to valualted material

[bharathi_ponnusamy]

Hi All,

I hope it is possible to change the non valuated material to valuated material via MMAM. But is there any procedure or instructions which we have to follow before changing the same.

Because when we have to change the valuated material to non valuated material, we have to make sure that the stock of the material is balanced to be zero and no documents (Purchasing Documents) have been exist for the same material.

Thanks in advance for your help by answering the above query.

But after clearing the stock, when i am trying to change the material type, it is giving me the error that purchase documents have been exist.

I have done the goods receipt and i have posted the invoice also. Still it is showing that Purchase orders exist. Please advise me what can i do in that case.

Thanks in advance for your help.

do you see the purchase order in Me23N? if yes, then the SAP is correct with this message, isn't it?

You have to archive the purchase order, using transaction SARA for object MM_EKKO.

This requires some customizing for the archiving object, the storeage of the archives and for the residence times of purchasing documents.

There should not be a trace of any documents in the system to change the material type. You need to archive the material and also see that it will not be pulled back into the system as this could back give conflicting reports in future.

it does not make sense to archive the material if the material shall be changed from non-valuated to valuated, you only need to archive those documents that are listed in error log in MM02.

Hi,

Following pre requisites should be met to convert the material type -

1. The configuration of both the material types should be similar. Check OMS2.

2. There should not be any open Purchas order against this materail type

3. There should not be any valuated stock

4. There should not be any open vendor line item. This can be checked in FBL1N.

Once you execute MMAM you get to see if material type conversion is successful or not. In case it is not successful, you get to know the details of failure as well.

Hope that helps.

Regards,

Sushant
