Hi Mam,

Thanks for the reply.

Could you plz tell as to whether we can maintain stock position for Operating supplies?

Also, do we require Cost center or Profit center or G/L for the same.

Thanks,

CG

hi,

you use the valuation class defined in MMR which ultimately finds the G/L account internally...these numbers are generally defined by FI consultants...

Hi,

If you want to maintain stock of material but value should get expensed out during GR then use Materials with material type UNBW (Non-Valuated)

Also you require an Expense nature of GL A/c for the Cost Center which can come automatically in PO if you have maintained Valuation Class in the material master "Accounting 1" view and done necessary account determination in OBYC for GBB-VBR.

Process Flow: -

1. ME21N - PO with Account Assignment Category (For e.g. K - Cost Center), In Account Assignment tab, maintain GL A/c and Cost Center

2. MIGO - GR w.r.t. PO; it will post following A/c entry;

(GBB-VBR) Expense A/c - Dr
(WRX) GR/IR Clearing A/c - Cr

3. MIRO - LIV for the PO; it will post following A/c entry;

Vendor A/c -Cr
GR/IR Clearing A/c - Dr

hi,

Operating supplies (HIBE)

Operating supplies are procured externally and required for the manufacture of other products. A material master record of this material type can contain purchasing data, but not sales data. Use XXX(3030) valuation class which is normally used....

Make and save master data...

Do PO from ME21N from the same material...

Do GR from MIGO

And DO IR from MIRO....
