Hello,
We are testing Material Ledger WIP/Consumption Revaluation for Joint Products, along with the BADI CKML_COST_SPLIT to post price differences based on actual apportionment structure.
This involves having to post Material Ledger Closing Entries and then evaluate the results.
Since there are several scenarios that are to be tested, Closing Entries have to be posted and reversed and re-posted several times.
This is only possible in the previous month, since I cannot close current month yet.
Trouble is, when I create fresh production orders in the previous month, when they are TECO'd, these post with the current period date.
This results in:
a) GR's for co-products showing up in the co-products (correctly) in previous month
b) Variances showing up as WIP for the previous month (since TECO date is in the next month)
The testing becomes totally useless since variances are not flowing to the co-products in the period being tested (previous month).
Is there a workaround to avoid this problem (except using current month data and then having to wait till end of the month to close)?
Can I manually update the TECO date in any of the tables to force settlement of variances in the previous period?
Thanks,
TD
