By the end of this course, participants should have a deep understanding of the Product Costing. Material Ledger and COPA functionalities, in SAP S/4 HANA. They should be equipped with the knowledge and skills to configure, analyse, and optimize the Material Ledger in various business scenarios.
The Material Ledger functionality in SAP is used for various purposes, including tracking material movements, actual costing, and working in multi-currency environments. In S/4 HANA , Material Ledger becomes even more central as it becomes a mandatory feature for inventory valuation. Here's a comprehensive understanding of each point mentioned:
Material Ledger Configuration with Multiple Currencies:
Material Ledger allows you to manage up to three currencies: Company Code currency, Group currency, and a third (hard) currency.
Configuration starts with activating the Material Ledger for specific valuation areas.
Define and assign currency types for each valuation area. Currency types could be legal, group, or hard currency.
Set the update types for parallel valuation in Material Ledger, specifying how the values will be updated in each currency.
MM Cycle Flow to Material Ledger:
Material movements from MM (like GR, GI, transfer postings) have financial implications.
When goods are received, their value is posted in all the currencies configured in Material Ledger.
Price differences arising from purchase price variances, for example, will also be reflected across the multiple currencies.
Production Cycle Flow to Material Ledger:
The production cycle includes raw material consumption, labor, and overhead costs.
As production orders or process orders are executed, the costs are captured in Material Ledger in multiple currencies.
This ensures that the inventory value of finished or semi-finished goods is accurately portrayed in all currencies.
Sales Cycle Flow to Material Ledger:
Upon the sale of goods, there's a reduction in inventory value.
Material Ledger reflects this change, adjusting the value of inventory in all configured currencies.
Transfer Posting Cycle Flow to Material Ledger:
Transfer postings, like stock transfers between plants or storage locations, involve changing valuation or ownership of stock.
Material Ledger captures these changes, ensuring accurate valuation in all currencies.
COPC - Month End Closing:
The period-end process in Controlling (COPC) involves activities like assessment, distribution, etc.
These postings impact costs and, hence, the Material Ledger. It's important to ensure that these activities are properly reflected in the Material Ledger for an accurate valuation.
CKMLCP - Actual Costing Execution:
CKMLCP is a central step in Material Ledger’s actual costing run.
It determines the actual costs of materials for the period, considering all receipts and issues of the material.
Once the actual cost is determined, it can be compared with the standard cost to find variances.
This actual cost, then, becomes the starting point for the next period.
Work in Process functionalities in Material Ledger:
If a product is not fully manufactured by the end of a period, its cost is determined as Work in Process (WIP).
In Material Ledger, this WIP is valued in multiple currencies, ensuring a consistent valuation across all reporting perspectives.
CKMCCC - Manual Change of Actual Cost Component Splits:
Sometimes, it's necessary to adjust the breakdown of actual costs manually.
CKMCCC allows users to manually adjust the cost component split of actual costs in the Material Ledger.
This could be due to reasons like adjustments for extraordinary items or corrections.
This overview provides a foundational understanding of Material Ledger with multiple currencies in S/4 HANA 1909. However, the real depth and intricacies come out during hands-on configuration and daily operations in the system.
