Copy Standard Cost to Moving Average Price

Dear All,
We are maintaining the materials with price control as Standard Price and moving average price is updated and used only for statistical purpose.
I have a requirement of copying the standard price to moving average price field just after the standard costs have been released.
We have used CK40N to complete the calculation and release of standard costs.
Please let me know which SAP standard transaction can be used for the purpose.
Regards,
Manish Gupta

Hi
Whats the need to copy std price to moving price?
I dont think there is any such t code to copy it.. But a weird work around is, if u r on ECC 6.0, you can change the price control from S to V and again V to S.. In this process, your price will get copied from S to V
However, not a recommended way of doing... If you do, you shud do this at a shot and blocking all others users

  • Product Costing using Moving Average Price of FERT & HALB

    Dear Experts,
    My client wants to use Product Costing functionality by using Moving Average Price instead of Standard Price on Finished Goods & Semi Finished Goods and as per my understanding, SAP recommends to use Standard Price on FERT &  HALB.
    I know if we use moving average price instead of standard price than there will be no concept of variances. Can anyone tell me more about what are the pros and cons of using moving average price instead of standard price in Product Costing?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Zain Bashir

    Hi Zain
    Let's take an example
    You have V for Mat A
    You create 3 Prod orders in a month
    Order 1 - Qty 10 - variance 100
    Same for Order 2 and 3..
    At month end, you sold 20 pieces and 10 is in stock..
    When you settle order 1, system will compare order qty and stock.. It will match I.e. 10 = 10... Hence variance of 100 will be posted on stock
    Same will happen for Order 2 and 3... Ideally, only 100 should have posted on stock... but in this case 300 of variance will be posted on stock...
    This is what the note mentioned by Arturo tells, but not so clearly
    Hope this helps

  • Difference between Standard Pricing and Moving Average Price

    Hi,
    Would like to seek some advises on the difference between standard price and Moving average price.
    also, how does it affect the account postings differently?
    Thanks

    Standard Price
    Materials whose price control indicator is set to S are valuated in Financial Accounting (FI) at standard price.
    This is recommended for semifinished products and finished products.
    The moving average price is shown as a statistical value in the material master record.
    The standard price is normally calculated using a standard cost estimate for the material. The standard price can also be calculated in a mixed cost estimate.
    Moving Average Price
    When materials whose price control indicator is set to V are received from in-house manufacturing processes, they are initially valuated with a value you defined (such as the standard price). When you settle, the material stock account is debited with the variances. This results in a new moving average price.
    Valuating semifinished products and finished products with the moving average price is not recommended.

  • Product Cost under Moving Average Price

    Hi Sapians,
    Please guide me how to configure Product Costing & the users steps to test the same. Here client wants to work in Moving Average Price.
    Regards,
    Vikas

    Hello Viki,
    This question can not be answered in this forum simply because its not issue based and we can't help you with each step. Yes product costing can be done using moving average price and you can do so in the Valuation and Account Assignment section in materials management. However, moving average is not a recommended approach for internally manufactured goods and it may result in allocation of the previous period's variance on the valuation of the products in the next period. You can find more on this on SAP Library and you can download the SAP's best practices configuration guides from the SAP website for help on configuring.

  • Standard Cost vs Moving Average

    Hi all,
    I'm wondering if someone can explain with a bit more detail how SBO handles standard cost.
    I know how to set it up and why it's there, but I'm curious how some clients use it and their procedures around managing it.
    How do auditors react to it, does it require more work to maintain, is there anything in SBO to help manage the adjustment of variances?
    If I switch some finished BOM inventory items to standard cost will there be any long term negative effects such as over/understated revenue?
    TIA,
    Mike

    Hi Mike,
    Revenue is not affected by the type of valuation method you choose for the Item, the Gross Profit as reported in the Sales Analysis might be affected if there is a large deviation between the standard and tha actual cost.
    Either way, if you have set your accounts correct (= P&L accounts in the right place), in the long run the Gross Profit as it is reported in your income statement (profit and loss) will be correct (the same) with both Standard or Moving Average.
    There might be a slight variance between the 2 depending on the cut off point and on the actual variance. You could expect a larger amount of the COGS (= variance being a part of COGS) being posted at the time of the purchase than when dealing with a Moving Average Item.
    I hope that was somewhat clear...
    Anything unclear, ask again.

  • Product Costing with Moving Average Price

    Dear Experts,
    Please guide me solution of my below scenario :
    - FG Material (500013) Process Order Created of 1000 units at 1st August.
    - FG Material (500013) Process Order confirmed and GR posted at 3rd of August.
    - All stock of FG Material  (500013) sold at 25th of August <Stock Out>.
    - Now at month end, when we execute actual activity price calculation, what would be the impact of revaluation of actual activity price where no material existed in stock ?
    Please guide?
    Regards.
    Zain Bashir

    Hi
    Probably I am not getting your question exactly. Based on my understanding of query I would like to state as under. If I missed your concern, kindly revert.
    Based on actual activity prices when you will revalue process order the activity cost on that order will come on actual prices and when you will calculate variance and settle it, the same will be settled to production variance account. Please check and verify in test system.

  • MTS variances with moving average price

    Hi expert,
    Is it possible to satisfy this requirement for cost estimate and variances in make to stock scenario ?
    -Actual cost at Moving average price for all article
    -Calculate cost estimate for articles and write it on standard price field with strategy that read also standard price
    -Calculate planning and production variances for all the Make to Stock PP order?but stock must be update with Moving average price.
    My doubt is how can i have variances detailed if i manage article with Moving average price.
    How can I have variances as "statistics" otherwise I would have double costs.
    thanks

    HI
    If you manufacture some thing, its price control should never be V, else it ruins the inventory valuation forever
    Consider the eg below if your price control is V
    1. Your moving price in mat master is 100 USD
    2. You Mfr on Jan 1 @ Actual cost = 110 in Prod order and Qty = 1.
    Upon GR, GR will happen @ 100 and at period end if Qty is lying in stock, 10 variance will also be inventorized
    BUT, now consider this
    1. Your moving price in mat master is 100 USD
    2. You Mfr on Jan 1 @ Actual cost = 110 in Prod order and Qty = 1.
    Upon GR, GR will happen @ 100 and variance lying is 10 in prod order
    3. You Mfr on Jan 10 @ Actual cost = 110 in Prod order and Qty = 1.
    Upon GR, GR will happen @ 100 and variance lying is 10 in prod order
    4. On jan 15, you consume Qty 1 and qty lying in stock is 1
    5. In period end, when you do settlement, following will happen
    a. For prod order 1: Qty Mfd 1 and Qty lying in stock 1 - Result: variance 10 will be inventorized.
    Mvg Avg price will shoot upto 110
    b. For prod order 2: Qty Mfd 1 and Qty lying in stock 1 - Result: variance 10 will be inventorized.
    Mvg Avg price (MAP) will shoot upto 120
    System wont check whether the qty lying in stock pertains to prod order 1 or 2... It will simply check if the Qty of prod order matches with qty lying in stock. hence, it will keep on inventorizing variance in this case.... and your MAP will touch the sky

  • SAP allows release of Standard Cost for Material with Moving Average Price

    Hi
    We set our Raw Material to use Moving Average Price (V) and price determination 2 (single level). And we activated material ledger.
    During mass calculation of standard cost (CK40N), If user accidentally forgot to restrict the Raw Material for being included in calculation, the system calculate standard cost anyway, even though I set it as Moving Average Price. And user is able to release it too without any problem.
    Why the system does not restrict it? By giving error maybe. Although as for now I can not find the wrong effect from releasing standard cost for MAP material, by your experience, is there any side effect that I should be aware of?
    Thanks

    CK40n is mass release of all materials. The release is not dependent on price indicator of the material in the master. It will calculate standard cost of all the materials.
    Releasing standard cost estimate of raw materials does not have any side effect as long your calculation is based on moving average price.

  • Moving average price of subcontracted material not picked for Cost estimation

    Hi Experts
    I have the below scenario:
    Finshed Product A has components B, C.
    C is a subcontacted material and it has its own BOM with components D & E.
    We are maintaining moving average price for the subcontracted material C, (because the subcontracter is adding X & Y in addtion to the components D and E, which are sent from us).
    In the mateial maste of C, Procurement type is F and Spl. procurement type 30 are maintained.
    When i do costing for the Finished product A, moving average price of C is not picked up (where as system calculates the std cost for C by adding the values of D & E and purchase info record price).
    Is there any way to Calculate Price of A by using the mvg avg price of C.
    I maintained the below valuation variant settings.
    If i remove the spl. procurement type 30 in the material master of C, it picks up the mvg. avg price. but it affects the MRP planning of  items D & E.
    Please advice.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards
    Bala

    Hi Big choi
    Thanks for your response.
    I understand.
    1. if we maintain spl. procureent key 30, system calculates standard cost based on raw material and service charges.
    2. If we don't maintain spl. proc key, it considers the material as purchased and picks the mvg avg price from material.
    But, is there any way to pick the moving avg price from material master eventhough i maintained the spl. procurement type 30?
    Thanks

  • Standard and Moving average Price

    Hi,
        What is the Difference between Standard and Moving Avg Price, What are the Cases will we use Standard  Price ,and what are cases shall we use Mov.avg Price, Please Explain me with Example.

    Hi Lakshmi,
    Moving average price is maintained for all the outside procured materials and standard price is maintained for all inhouse manufactured materials...
    We need to run standard cost estimate monthly to update the prices of all the materials with price control S... Prices of materials with price control V will get updated as soon as we do GRN for the materials on the weighted average method...

  • Standard  vs  Moving Average Price

    Dear SAP Gurus
    Can anybody pls explain the significance of Moving avg and Standard price of Material.
    Thanks & Regards
    Shalini

    The standard price or moving average price in material master is used to  determine the value of the inventory.
    Standard price are used for products that do not fluctuate frequently.  It is mainly used for FG or semi finished products.
    Moving average price are used mainly for raw materials that are purchased externally.  The advantage of using moving average price for raw materials is that the inventory costs will always reflect the current market price.
    If the material is valued at a standard price,
    the difference between the purchase order price and the standard price will go to a price difference account.
    If the material is valued at a moving average price, the difference between the purchase order price and
    the moving average price will NOT go to a price difference account. The moving average price will simply be adjusted.

  • Moving average price for Standard price estimation

    Hi All
    We have 3 Costing variants for Legal valuation, Group valuation and Profit center valuation which has a valuation variant with strategy 1. Planned price, 2. Moving Average Price and 3. Standard price. When Planned Price is missing system is supposed to pick up MAP as the standard price. But I am not able to understand, when MBEW holds, old MAP, where from system is picking up the latest Periodic Unit price for calculation of Standard price for PV and GV, whereas for Legal valuation it is picking up the MAP as in the material master or MBEW table.
    Please help
    Regards,
    VB

    Thanks a lot praveen for your quick reply,
    we have kept MAP and STANDARD  PRICE for all materials wheather it is V or S,
    and kept costing variants active for both standard as well as moving average price.
    Standard value will be picked for planned and actual from MAP.
    But what we have done that as i told earlier for all materials we have updated with MAP and Standard price.
    so my question was will it get any reverse effect on material valuation.
    Waiting for your quick and valuable reply

  • Costing material having moving average price

    HI
    My client is having business where prices fluctuates a lot and he wants to use moving average price for all materials including semi-finished and finished material.
    My question is in this senario how to do configuration of product costing and how will i be able to calculate cost as far as product costing is concerned. client doesnt want to use material ledger.
    Regards
    Invin

    Hi,
    You can not carry out period product costing activity if the material has moving average price control.
    If you set moving average price control to material master, the following activities control the moving average price
    1. GR (if the value is different from PO price) Entry in MIGO
    2. IR (if the value is different from PO price) Entry in MIRO (invoice posting)
    3. Price change using (MR21 Tcode)
    4. Debit/Credit Material (MR22 Tcode)
    Prerequisited for Product costing with quantity structure
    1. Material ledger should be active
    2. Product should be allowed for cost estimate (setting in Material Master)
    3. The master should have Standard price Control in the material master.
    If you want to change the price of the semifinished product with moving average price (due to price fluctuation) use MR21 or MR22. But this activity involves lot of human effort.

  • Is it possible to maintain moving average price u201CVu201Dfor HALB & Costing ?

    Dear Gurus,
    is it possible to maintain moving average price u201CVu201Dfor HALB Material which can procured from vendor & produced from plant in-house & costing the same ?
    Kindly help

    1. Yes, you can have price control as "V" for HALB material.
    2. Split valuation is required to be maintained, if you want to use the same HALB material for procurement as well as inhouse production.
    3. You can have standard cost estimates with price control as "V'. But, the same is not recommended by SAP.  It can give a wrong picture in scenarios like settlement of a production order having GR quantity more than the Stock quantity.

  • Refurbishment WO - exclude moving average price from WO's costs

    Hello Experts,
    We have following problem. In refurbishment WO costs contains also moving average price of component which is under refurbishment.
    From our point of view it is not proper since such a costs are not costs of repair.
    We would like to exclude moving average price of component which is refurbished (moved to REPI storage location).
    In SPRO there is only a possibility to exclude costs from WO which are assigned to particular cost elements or their group but it is not a case here, since we cannot assign all repairable materials to cost elements group defined in advance.
    Do you have any idea how to do that?
    Regards:
    Łukasz Kurlit

    Hi ,
    In MM for split valulated material we can maintain cost /stock for each valution type of the material ..if a material has valuation V1,V2,V3 .. new material is bought at V1 valuation price and after usage it is valuated to V3 and then refurbished to V2 .. now for V1&V3 you can maintain Standard price or Moving average price as per MM02 accounting tab by changing the price control in that tab and maintaing price unit .. but for V2 i think we should have Moving Average Price because everytime refubishment takes place at different refurbishment costs ..  finally you need to follow as per your clients requirement ..
