Material Ledger Actual Costing - Multi-level not finding entries

[Former Member]

Hello,

I am experimenting with Material Ledger Actual Costing and am using the IDES elevator example.  I have posted PO's, goods issues, goods receipts, and have gone through several production orders for the finished good.  When I go through the Closing Cockpit to do Actual Costing, I'm able to select the materials, sequence them, and do single-level price determination.  But, when I do multi-level price determination, no records are found.

The only thing I can think of is something I saw during selection.  There was a filter table indication of 6 entries being stored.  Looking online it appears this is table CKMLMV0LLF, but I'm not sure about that and I couldn't find anything online about this.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions.  Thanks!

Tony

Hi Tony,

1. have you activated actual costing in the configuration?

2. Do your materials have price determination 3?

Hi Udo,

Yes, actual costing is active.  My materials have price determination 3 / S.

Thanks,
Tony

please go to CKMLCP and change in the lower part of the screen the view to muli-level an level and cycle number.

Some level greater than 0 should appear. If not, something is wrong with your postings to and from production orders.

Hi Udo,

When I do that, I get messages stating multi-level price determination not necessary next to my materials.  What I did with the Production Orders was post the GR and IR with a posting date into a previous period.  Will that not work?

Thanks,

Tony

Hello,

I found that my issue was not configuration, but data.  Reviewing the SAP Press book, I found that I did not have sufficient consumption to require multilevel variance.  All the variance was absorbed at the raw material level.  When I increased consumption by executing a higher quantity Production order, multi-level price determination worked fine.  Udo, thanks for your help.

Cheers,

Tony
