ML activation in one plant

[Former Member]

Hi

We do valuation at plant level.

We have to activate Material Ledger in one plant, the company has 5 production plants. I need to know that whether there will be any impact on others plants where ML will not be activated. Some materials are extended to all five plants.

regards

Chris

Hi Chris,

The issue is that you cannot reconcile ML with FI, if a plant is activated in ML and other plants in the same company code are not ML active.

Please, check attached note 596558, which provides recommendations on Material Ledger startup, specially the following:
...
    b) Always activate the material ledger for a complete company code and copy all currencies from FI. This is the only way to ensure the reconciliation with FI.

    c) In addition, it is recommended that you activate the material ledger for a complete company code because the invoice verification can neither store invoices that contain materials from plants the material ledgers of which are active nor more materials from plants the material ledger of which is not active.

You get the info message BL 001, when the program CKMSTART as long as not all plants of a company code are ML productive.

If these plants which are not active in Material Ledger are unused and have never had any transactions, there should be no problem to balance with FI but this should be controlled by the user.

Notes 596558 and 398949 provide complete information about

Material Ledger startup.

Kind regards,

Maria
