T030 DIF transaction : Missing Rule for Valutation Area

[claudio_carrara]

Hi

In my system few different companies located in different country share T030 setting using Valutation are as rule (key).

I need to customize DIF transaction (small differences during GR/IR process using MIRO transaction), but is not possible to chose the "Valutation Modification" as rule, to assing different accounts to different companies.

I've tried to modifi the T030R table too by set XBWMO=X but the field Valutation Modification can't be selected anyway as key for DIF transaction.

I've looked for a solution on OSS without any result.

Has someboby an Idea to solve the issue ??

Thanks for your help.

Hello Claudio,

just to be sure, when you say "but is not possible to chose the "Valutation Modification" as rule", you mean that you cannot change the rules in OBYC?

    

    

Or you change it but it does not have any effect?

BTW, is the Valuation Groupping activated at all? (transaction OMWM, SPRO path: Materials Management -> Valuation and Account Assignment -> Account Determination -> Account Determination Without Wizard -> Define Valuation Control)

Kind Regards

Hi Tomas

Valation Groupping is activated of course, I use valutation modification for other transactions (EIN in example).

I can set the VM as rules as you can see inteh picture.

I run ECC 6.00 but my system is very old (it was created in 1998 in 31.I later migrated to 4.0, 4.6. 4.7, 6.0 during these years).

I've tried to set T030R-XBWMO to X but the screen doesn't change.

Do you think is an error and I have to open a OSS message ??

Thanks for your reply.

Ugh, I just realized that I am working on modified system...

...in include DFKB1INT there is a change in field "dif" initial value:

• old line  "DATA:   dif (9)   VALUE 'X    1   '."
• new line "DATA:   dif (9)   VALUE 'X XXX1 34'."

So it seem that standard really contains only the "Debit/Credit" indicator on screen for rules of operation DIF, and this change has to be achieved by modification (or enhancement) of SAP standard.

My apologies for confusion, Claudio.

Hi Tomas

Thanks for info.

I'll try to modify DFKB1INT as suggested.

IMHO this need is very common and SAP should provide to set it as standard.

When rules are available you can decide if use or not.

I don't think this modification can be dangerous for the system.

Are you agree with me ?

Thanks for your help

Well, Claudio, thinking about it, it is perfectly reasonable that DIF "Small Differences" is not allowed with Valuation Modification -- since this is the difference occuring only in LIV between the sum of all items / open amount and total header amount entered, and since different items can be posted within different Plants / Valuation Areas, how could the system split this difference between plants? Hm, I will try to check the modification in detail.

Hi Tomas

I'm perfectly agree with your reasoning.

I'll propose to use the same accounts across all companies.

Thanks for help.
