Moving average price for article is negative

Hi gurus,
We are facing this error during invoice verification,
Moving average price for article/material  is negative : article/material  155521 4001
I have searched the forum and got the transaction S_P00_07000139 to track how it went to negative,
but i am having difficulty to identify which column i have to look into to see what caused the negative price.
If i am in a wrong direction, please advise me gurus how to get rid of this error and measures to avoid in future.
Thanks in advance,
Kind regards,
Gopio.

  • Moving average Price for Material is Negative

    HI Friends,
    I am doing MIRO for PO where its giving me error while posting the Invoice that
    Moving average price for material is negative
    Can any please help me to resolve this.
    what would be the implications if the price difference is too high b/w MAP in Invoice .
    Thnaks
    Purna Nalluri

    It is ofcourse bcoz there is price difference in the between PO and IR....
    so as per the calculations the MAP becomes negative....
    The formula for it is :
    Difference/Current stock holding + current moving average...
    Pls check you price entered at PO and IR....
    There are no any implecations...excepts the price differece is reflected in the MAP of MMR....
    hope it helps...
    Regards

  • MIRO : Moving average price for material is negative

    Hi,
    i post an invoice but the system gives me this message : "Moving average price for material is negative: 120462 M411"
    i tried to change the average price (MR21) but really it is not a solution.
    is there any other solution to post this invoice?
    Regards
    Edited by: jehade el aoumari on Oct 22, 2008 2:06 PM

    Moving average price negative error comes when the correction in price of material made in MIRO is more than its moving average price in material master.  There are three ways to solve this error,
    MR21 as you said, or
    Reverse all previous transactions like GR in the sequence they were made, amend the PO and make fresh GR. or if this is not possible,
    Complete the MIRO with wrong amounts and pass FI jv to rectify the wrong FI impact....
    Hope this helps you..

  • 'Moving average price for material is negative' calculation

    Hi Gurus,
    I would like to ask for your assistance regarding Invoice having error of 'moving average price for material is negative'.
    How is it being calculated that it goes to negative value? Can you also please give a scenario on why it became negative?
    We have the following scenario:
    MAP: 0.30
    Total Stock: 9
    Total Value: 2.74
    PO raised and GR was done:
    Quantity: 240
    Value: 2.95
    Would appreciate your assistance on issue.
    Thank you.
    Jih

    Hi,
    Please check that price of that material is increased or decreased by using transction MR21. after GRN.
    You posted a valuated goods receipt for a purchasing document for a material with moving average price control.When the invoice was posted (invoice item with price variance for goods receipt), the system generates error message M8783: 'Moving average price for material & & & is negative'.
    Between the posting of the original goods receipt and the entry of the invoice, the system already posted additional valuation-relevant transactions/events (goods movements, invoices and so on, can be displayed with Transaction MR51).
    The invoice verification tries (for stock coverage) to credit/subsequently debit the difference between the value of goods received and invoice item value for the stock.However, the material total value must not become negative by this stock posting.
    Solution
    Before you post the invoice, you must first increase the stock value.
    The amount by which the stock value must be increased at least can be calculated from the following values:
    1. Transaction MM03, accounting view material master, field 'Total value' (MBEW-SALK3)
    2. Invoice item value according to invoice
    3. In the invoice verification (Transaction MR01, MR1M, MIRO), change the invoice item amount to a value which is high enough and simulate the invoice to receive the value which would be posted for this item to the GR/IR account.
    In the invoice verification, the value (3) minus (2) is posted to stock. It must be larger than (1).Post a subsequent debit with the amount (3) + (1) - (2) for the affected material/plant (Transaction MR22).
    You can post the invoice afterwards.
    Regards.

  • Moving average price for material is negative: M8 783 while credit memo/MR8M

    Hi,
    We receive an error message :M8 783- "Moving average price for material is negative". This is while we do a credit memo or MR8M.
    This is the screens shot of MB51:
    Below is the PO history for the material in question:
    While cancelling the IR above, the error message apperas as "Moving average price for material in plant is negative".
    Not really clear how this situation should be handled.
    The MAP of this material has not changed.. Its 500$.
    Read the oss notes as well, but would like to get some response from the forum to proceed.
    Regards,
    Shilpa

    Hi Jurgen,

  • Moving average price for material is negative while MR11.

    Hi
    Encountered "Moving average price for material is negative"  error while performed MR11 transcation.
    GR alerady done but not IR. Few months later, now GR/IR clearance having this issue.
    I could found the material price is being revised (price reduced from earlier GR time).
    Now while performing one time clearance though MR11 (there wouldn't be any IR posting in P.O) having this error.
    Appreciated if any one can advise in steps how to clear.
    Thanks
    RG

    Hi,
    You should define the GR/IR clearing mantenance which will not  update the material stock account! Had better assign another G/L acccount (non-material stock account) to GR/IR clearing!
    Good luck

  • Negative stock ('moving average price for material is negative')

    Dear all,
    I have a question with regards to negative stock.
    Does it means if I configure my system (i.e. OMJ1) by allowing the negative stock for a particular plant, the problem of Invoice bumping the error (i.e. 'moving average price for material is negative') WILL NOT happen at all again?
    If not, how can I solve this problem?
    thanks.
    tuffy

    Hi,
    As Jürgen said price can't be negative. You need to correct MAP first before posting the invoice. Try running consistency check (Tcode: MB5K) you might know the reason why system is showing -ve moving average price and then you can correct.

  • Moving Average Price for Sales stock and Project stock of a material

    Hiya Gurus,
                     I am developing a report to display inventory details. My requirement is that I have to display the Moving average price of a material for all Valuation type. I also need to display the Moving average price if a material has got Project stock or Sales stock.
                     In MBEW table I can get the Valuation type and its Moving average price, but how can I find the moving average price for the same material if it has got Sales stock and project stock. Please let me know the table and field where I could get the relevant data.
                    Kindly help me on this, it would be deeply appreciated.
    Cheers,

  • Moving Average Price for Batch Maintenance

    Hi Experts,
          I've created material of which stock is maintain in batch (Valuation category = X & Price Control = V).
        Due to batch wise stock, system calculates the moving average price for different batches.
        Can we calculate moving average price at plant level inspite of maintaining material batch wise?
       Is there any other way by defining multiple storage bins for that material so that I can see the stock value differently with single moving average price value?
       Thanks.
                                                   Naimish.

    In MM03, you get the overall MAP for all batches of the material at plant level without mentioning valuation type in org. level. When specific valuation type is given, you can see its MAP / std price.
    Hope this clears the doubt.

  • Moving average price for semi finished products

    Hi
    Could anyone light on this issue,
    Our client maintain moving average price for the semi finished material, need clarification on below points
    1)  What is the advantages and disadvantages due moving average price,
    2) Which price in the material master after the production order settlement,
    3) Is there any impact of this on WIP calcaultions
    Thanks in advance
    Mohan M

    Hi
    there are no advantages of it, ONLY Dis Advantages!!!
    That will ruin your 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. 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

  • Moving average price for finished goods produced inhouse

    Hi All
    How does system caliculate moving average price for a finished product which has BOM, Routing when we do goods receipt for the production order...does MAP change for every goods receipt based on the goods isuues or confirmations to the production order.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    The price will not change during the goods receipt, but when you settle the production oder and there is some danger in it.
    Take the contents of that note into account [ Note 81682 - Pr.contr.V for semi-finished and finished products|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/81682]
