Creation of a Worklist

For objects that the system has registered as relevant for the period-end valuation, you can create a worklist on a particular key valuation date for certain company codes. The system considers relevant goods receipt items within purchasing and delivery items with goods issue in sales as long as no final invoice has been posted.

When creating a worklist, the system calculates the respective valuation result for each relevant item using the current data.

Prerequisites

The system calculates the valuation as long as no final invoice exists with a posting date on or before the valuation key date.

For more information, see the prerequisites for the individual processes:

Features

Selection Criteria for Relevant Objects

You can use selection criteria to select the relevant objects that are to be calculated.

You can create a worklist for relevant goods receipts, deliveries with goods issue, or for both. The system also considers goods receipts and deliveries with goods issue if the underlying purchase order or sales order refers to a trading contract belonging to the Global Trade Management industry solution.

Processing Criteria

You can define various criteria for processing the calculation:

The standard process is to have a productive run at the end of the period.
You can create the worklist for the valuation results in simulation mode and then verify the simulated valuation results also in simulation mode. The system stores these simulated valuation results on the database. They are then overwritten during the productive run.
You can choose to have the system recreate a worklist. The system then overwrites the worklist created during a previous run for the same valuation key date.
If you select the Display Log checkbox before the calculation, the system then displays a log when the calculation is finished.
As a packet size, you can specify the number of index entries for which the system is to execute a database commit. The system processes these index entries collectively within one logical unit of work (LUW).

Activities

You can create a worklist in Sales and Distribution or in Materials Management:

On the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Logistics Sales and Distribution Environment Period-End Valuation: Creation of Worklist (transaction CMM_PEV_CALC).
On the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Logistics Materials Management Environment Period-End Valuation: Creation of Worklist (transaction CMM_PEV_CALC).

Enter the selection criteria and processing criteria you require and then choose Start of the navigation path Program Next navigation step Execute in Background End of the navigation path or Program Execute .

Note Note

You can schedule the background process for report MEV_CREATE_WL as a job.

End of the note.

Note Note

The report MEV_CREATE_WL_PTASK enables automated parallel processing of the report MEV_CREATE_WL by dispatching the data to several background jobs. Depending on the number of background work processes, the background jobs run in parallel. In addition, you can use the Simple Job Selection transaction (SM37) to distribute background jobs that are waiting to be processed across several servers. The total runtime is therefore reduced. For more information, see the documentation for report MEV_CREATE_WL_PTASK in the ERP system.

End of the note.

Completeness Check

You can check the completeness in Sales and Distribution or in Materials Management:

On the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Logistics Sales and Distribution Environment Period-End Valuation: Completeness Check (transaction CMM_PEV_CC).
On the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Logistics Materials Management Environment Period-End Valuation: Completeness Check (transaction CMM_PEV_CC).

Enter a valuation key date and at least one company code. If you have selected the checkbox Select open GR/Delivery Items and then choose Execute, the system lists all open goods receipt items and delivery items with goods issue that are registered for period-end valuation on a certain valuation key date.

These items have not yet been transferred into a worklist. Use transaction Period-End Valuation: Creation of Worklist (CMM_PEV_CALC) to create a worklist for these items.
