How to check split valuation change log

[Former Member]

Hi All.

Issue is when user is going to change the material in related field  valuation category that is 'S' to 'V', system is throwing error "valuation category for the plant  S missing".

My analysis is , I checked for the  plant  how many materials are with valuation category S, I found more materials with S and same passed into purchase order history, I found document also.

Why user is changing the material with S to V is, while doing goods receipt with respect to PO system throwing error because of valuation category.

I  think recently activation for the valuation category "S" got deactivated in split valuation configuration.

My question is.

1) How to  check the change log who has made the deactivation in split valuation configuration.

2) What is the impact if we activate now.

Please help me.

Thanks

Dear Mahesh,

I hope there is a confusion in what you wanted to share.

Can you tell me, in which field are you changing the valuation category in material master. because the keys you refer to are the std keys for price control & for a material with split valuation, this always needs to be V.

Split valuation configuration is in SPRO & normally no users will have access to SPRO in the production system.

Can you explain further more, to understand your problem.

Thanks,

Kalai.

Thanks for the reply Dear Kalai. May be, you are correct, but we have global consultant, is there any possible to deactivate this, is it possible to check me the change log. This is my assumption. And one more my  thinking is, may be it is updated through LSMW and selected the valaution catogoty (filed name BWTTY) with S and not with V.  and in SPRO valuation catogory is active with V. Now when he is going for changing the Material in accounting view, field BWTTY valuation catogory pop up will show with  "V" only but not the "S". and when u try to add this "V" system is not allowing throwing message "valuation catogory for the plant S missing". Please let me know how to correct this. And user is do not know how this material got updated through LSMW, he is saying it is extended. If extended how it allows, that is why my assumption is two, one is deactivation the configuration what was "S" may be and one more is LSMW. And I have checked the material change log there is no information available related to field BWTTY. Thanks Mahesh

LSMW can do mass processing but not do wonders.

You usually have the same checks as it is done in only transactions, no matter if you use BAPI import method, IDOC method or batch input  in LSMW.

Change log is written even for changes done with LSMW.

a valuation category cannot be changed, you have to create new materials, this is certainly the easier and quicker task than going through archiving etc etc., you can compare this with the other 1500 discussions about valuation category change . see as well OSS note 30656.

I wonder that your user can even access this field as it is usually gray once maintained.

or are you still in the creation process? and have not yet maintained the valuation type specific data?

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

Yes we do have maintained the valuation type, but for this material valuation type is not there without this PO got created, if the user make the goods receipt definately it will also ask valuation type, and point is here how this material got created with valuation catogory S, if I can say create new material to user he will ask answer for this material.

Thanks

in the material master, next to the material description you find a blue info button.

After clicking it it will show you who has created which view and when. Then just call this person and let explain how it was created.

The OSS Note 155874 - Change valuation category in material master explains all checks that are done before a category can be changed. And explains as well what would happen if you change the category despite of this transactional data.

If you do not have access to download SAP notes, then ask your basis team or another consultant to do it for you. Maybe you will find it in the Internet, even its publishing violates copyrights.

As changes to customizing are usually done in development client, you can certainly find its transports in the system

I do have access for the  sap note and I have reviewed the note it is very useful, thanks for this.

I want to convey one more thing  from SPRO  path  split valuation ----local definition--- Cat >Organization unit ID -- when you do allocation of valuation category related to plant activate or deactivate it is not creating any TR.

Please let me know if we have change log for the split valuation configuration,

Yes I agreed i will not suggest to change the valuation category and I will advice to crate the new material with valuation category "V".

But My knowledge is to understand how this material got update with valuation category "S" that is not at all there when I  pop up the valuation category (BWTTY) filed. And who has changed this configuration part.

I am seeing material  Master accounting view got created with date by whom but i am not seeing each filed when got updated.

Thanks for supporting me until the end of the issue.

the customizing tables are

T149

T149A

T149B

T149C

T149D

T149E

T149T

what I could see is that all have a flag for change log.

if you want see the change log, then go into the IMG and place the cursor on the split valuation activity  (do not go into this activity)  and then click the button for the change log.

you get a pop-up to specific the date range for the selection. enter a date range and activate as well the box for include table changes. then execute.

You get a report but it can take a while as this change log table is usually big.

if you see the report, then it may look as if there was no change, dont forget to scroll down.

execute it in development and production system.

HI Jurgen.

Sorry I could not reply back after working on change log.

Thanks for the supporting, based on change log I have found who has changed this, on which date and time.

when material got created both "V" and "S" valaution catogory were active in the plant, and in month of october  2012 valution catogory  "S" got deactivated  in production system whithout seeing the subsequent document generated based on the material with valution catgory S .

Once again Many thanks for supporting.

Hi,

Your thread subject line is differs from your thread entire contents.

Check t.code: CKMPCSEARCH  for Price Change Documents for Material with your valuation type.

Give some more business background and detail about your requirement.
