Material Ledger - Actual Costing Congratulation
Material Ledger - Actual Costing Congratulation
Material Ledger - Actual Costing Congratulation
1) All goods movements within a period are valuated preliminarily at the standard price.
2) At the same time, all price and exchange rate differences for the material are collected in the material
ledger.
3) At the end of the period, an actual price is calculated for each material based on the actual costs of the
particular period. The actual price that is calculated is called the periodic unit price.
4) Periodic unit price can be used to revaluate the inventory for the period to be closed. In addition, you can
use this actual price as the standard price for the next period.
5) Actual costing determines what portion of the variance is to be debited to the next-highest level using
material consumption. With the actual BOM, variances can be rolled up over multiple production levels all
the way to the finished product. Additionally, you can choose to have variances from cost centers and
business processes also taken into account.
6) Work in Process (WIP) is not included in Actual Costing, in other words all materials consumed for a
production process within the current month are processed in the withdrawal period, even if part, or all of
the delivery of the material to the warehouse takes place in a later period
7) The WIP account is still valuated using the standard prices for the materials and activities consumed. A
revaluation using actual prices does not take place.
8) Revaluating inventories at the end of the period with the periodic unit price is optional. Therefore, the
functions of actual costing can not only be used to run actual costing itself, they can also be used for
informational purposes in conjunction with other cost accounting systems
9) If you just want to use the Actual Costing/Material Ledger component to carry material inventory values in
multiple currencies/valuations, you must activate the material ledger. In addition, you can choose
transaction-based price determination(indicator 'price determination' in material master record = 2). If
you do this, you still have the option of deciding between price control standard price and moving average
price for your materials
10) If you want the system to calculate a periodic unit price for your materials based on the actual costs
incurred in a period, you will need to activate actual costing in addition to activating the material ledger. In
addition, you must choose single-level/multilevel price determination for your materials (price
determination indicator in material master record = 3). In this case, you must use price control standard
price for all materials that you want to use in actual costing.
11) If you want to include variances from cost centers and business processes in addition to the material cost
variances in actual costing, you must activate activity consumption update in the quantity structure in
addition to activating actual costing
12) If you use the Actual Costing/Material Ledger component, you must also use Logistics invoice
verification because ordinary invoice verification does not support the Actual Costing/Material Ledger
component.
13) Valuation using a standard price has the following features:
15) If the material ledger is active, the material prices of materials whose price determination
indicator is set to 3 can only be changed at the beginning of the period before all price-
relevant transactions. If the material ledger is not active, you can change the material
prices at any time
16) In Customizing for Actual Costing/Material Ledger, activity update can be activated so
that the consumption of activities can be updated in the quantity structure. If the activity
update option relevant to price determination has been selected, price differences can
arise on the material after actual price determination.
17) With price determination control 3, the material ledger data is divided into the following
categories:
• Beginning inventory
• Receipts
• Cumulated inventory
• Consumption
• Ending inventory
18) With price determination control 2, valuation-relevant transactions are listed in the price
history. If these transactions are displayed in the price determination structure, then the
category Price changes also appears in the display.
19) Multilevel price determination is used for materials that are part of a production cycle and
are in level 1 of the costing sequence. In addition, prices are determined for the materials
produced in this period that are in level 2 or higher.
20)
21) Closing Entry :
If you have specified that the system should revaluate the material stock in the previous
period, it does the following:
The system changes the price control for the material in the previous period from
Standard price S to moving average price V and updates the periodic unit price (that it
calculated for the material price determination) as the valuation price for the previous
period.
In the Accounting 1 view of the material master record, the periodic unit price for the
previous period is displayed as the moving price (price control V).
The preliminary valuation price (standard price) remains unchanged and can continue to
be displayed.
The system posts the price differences and exchange rate differences that are assigned to
ending inventory to the material stock account. You can see these amounts as well as the
closing document in material price analysis.
If you specified that the system should not revaluate the material stock in the previous
period, then it does the following:
_ The system does not change the price control.
_ The system does not post the price differences and exchange rate differences that were
assigned to ending inventory to the material stock account, but rather to the Accrual
Account (Material Ledger) account (transaction key LKW in Customizing).

Functionality
Material price determination calculates the periodic unit price for a material. The standard price
and the cumulative single-level differences of the period are taken into account. The material
price calculated in multilevel price determination can be used for stock valuation.
The actual cost component split is used to analyze actual costs over multiple production levels.

Transfer prices from the legal view represent valuation approaches (also sales price here)
of goods or services transferred between legally independent member companies in the
group. These valuation approaches are reflected in the individual financial statements of
those companies.
Transfer prices according to the group view represent the costs of goods manufactured,
which can be used for the allocation of goods and services within a group of companies. For
these prices, group-internal profits are eliminated from the prices of the legal view.
