3559102 - Migration of Material Valuation Data Does Not Create Entries in Migration G/L Account

Symptom

A change in Inventory cost in one or more Materials was executed through Migration of Material Valuation Data.

When checking the Journal Entries created for this transaction, it is noted that it hasn't posted to the Migration Account mapped to Migration Clearing Accounting in Charts of Accounts.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1.  Go to Business Configuration workcenter.
  2.  Open Overview view.
  3.  Search and open Migration of Material Valuation Data Activity.
  4.  Select Migrate material valuation data using the migration tool.
  5.  Fill the template for Migration of Material Valuation Data and follow the steps for Migration.
  6.  Once completed, in General Ledger workcenter -> Journal Entries view, search and open the recent created Journal Entries of Type: Manual Change of Material Cost regarding Material ABC.
  7.  There are no lines posted to the Migration G/L Account.

(ABC stands for the Material ID).

Cause

Migration G/L Accounts for Inventories will only be used to register amounts in Materials when they are created through the first migration. Further changes in the inventory cost of materials through migration will trigger G/L Accounts mapped in the Inventories subledger on the Charts of Accounts.

The mapping can be checked through the path:

  1. Go to Business Configuration workcenter.
  2. Open Overview View.
  3. Search and open Activity: Charts of Accounts, Financial Reporting Structures, Account Determination.
  4. In Account Determination, click on Inventories subledger.
  5. For the respective Account Determination Profile, below on the screen the G/L Account mapping can be found.

Resolution

This is the expected system behavior.
