Account determination for entry AUM not possible

[Former Member]

Hello,

I am trying to understand why the error message M8 147 "Account determination for entry AUM not possible" is displayed when I try to post a transfer posting reversal. I have seen this information in the SAP Library:

"There are various types of transfer postings. A material document is created for every transfer posting. An accounting document is only created for transfer postings that lead to a change in value. These are:

• Transfer Posting: From Plant to Plant
• Transfer Posting: From Consignment to Company-Owned Stock  
• Transfer Posting: From Material to Material
• Transfer Posting: From Valuation Type to Valuation Type

However, in my case, the transfer posting is from project stock to project stock. If, it is another case, do you know how I can check the stock valuation at project level and how reproduce that error?

Thank you in advance.

Best regards.

Please, first consider the documentation about the AUM posting key
that you will find in the IMG under the path:

Materials Management
-> Valuation and Account Assignment
   -> Account Determination
      -> Account Determination Without Wizard
         -> Configure Automatic Postings

Here, please, do not execute the transaction, but click in the 'IMG
activity documentation' icon next to it. Then, scroll down till you
can see the information related to the posting key AUM. Please, also
find it below:

"Expenditure/income from transfer posting (AUM):

This transaction is used for transfer postings from one material to
another if the complete value of the issuing material cannot be posted
to the value of the receiving material. This applies both to materials
with standard price control and to materials with moving average price
control. Price differences can arise for materials with moving average
price if stock levels are negative and the stock value becomes
unrealistic as a result of the posting. Transaction AUM can be used
irrespective of whether the transfer posting involves a transfer
between plants. The expenditure/income is added to the receiving
material."

You need to maintain the account entry for AUM in transaction OBYC.

For project stocks valuation, please check table QBEW.

Hello all,

yes, I know that I have to maintain a new entry in the OBYC, but I needed to understand why the difference was generated.

I have found some examples in the table QBEW and I can simulate it again and then understand the problem. The OSS note 180503 explain how the goods movement value is calculated too.

Thank you for your answers!

Best regards.

the difference is most likely due to rounding

[ajitkumar]

if you go for the long text probably you will find a detailed explanation.

one reason can be that there is no GL assignment in OBYC.

pl check in OMWN, for the movement type + stock indicator used in reversal document, whehter there is an account modifier, and if so whether a GL is maintained in OBYC for the combination of val mod+ general mod + valu class

Hi!

If you do not want to check the data in QBEW directly you can use the transaction MBBS.

Project stock valuation is kept in table QBEW. you have there an individual  valuation for each material/project combination
