Price Difference during GR

Hi,
I have a material on Moving Average Price which was extended to a new plant that was configured. During GR, some amount of significant value is posting to the Variance account. This is the first GR for the new plant and also the first material to be posted. How can a variance account be hit during the GR process ? There is no differnece is quantity between PO and GR. Also the amount is correct. The question of shortage of stock does not arise in this case at all.
Is there any reason why Variance account is hit during GR other than Price and quantity differences?

Hi
The reason for price difference is the price difference between PO price and Mvg avg price.
If this is not the case, in the extended plant if the price control is std cost, the price difference between the price mentioned in the price control and the PO might be the variance.

Suraj

  • Price difference during MIGO

    Dear All,
    Can advise me under what circumstances, migo will happen price difference for both standard price and map material.
    Thanks

    Standard Price - During MIGO, when price is $10 and the PO price is $12, then the difference of $2 will go to the price difference.
    MAV price - During MIGO, the price difference will go to the stock account.

  • Expense for the price difference by reversing entry of goods

    Hi Experts,
    There is an Expense for the price difference by reversing entry of goods.   Conceptually is this correct?
    Thanks in advance.
    José Luis

    Hi 
    Price difference during reversal of GR may be correct due to the change in price between GR & reversal.
    It depends on price control whether S-Std price or V-Moveing average price in the Material Master accounting view.

  • Price difference on cancellation of production order confirmation

    Hi,
    We are having a material which is maintained at price control "S". We have created a production order for the material. In due course of business, we did confirmation for say 100 pcs of the material. However, immediatly on confirmation, we realized that we do not need to do the confirmation & hence we did the cancellation of the production order confirmation using CO13.
    On doing the production order confirmation cancellation, we observed that the system has posted some amount to "price difference account"
    We also observed that once in a while this kind of entries do get posted.
    It is requested to please let us know in why system is behaving this way?
    We have checked SAP Note no 216080 "Price difference when reversing GI for S-Priced material" & SAP Note no 215980 'Price difference during GR for the production order". However we are not convinced that these could be the reason for the price difference.
    Thanking you in anticipation
    Regards

    Hi,
    Yes, you are correct in the understanding that the system creates quants in 914 when the production order confirmation is cancelled. But, it does not generate any TR or TO in the background to post the stock back into the original storage type.
    Can we not use the put away strategies so that the system determines where to place the material? My query is that despite all the configurations for automatic TO creation and confirmation for movement type 262, it does not generate a TO (or TR) in the background when a production order confirmation is cancelled using CO13.
    However, if I manually post a material using MB1A for 261 movement type and reverse it using 262, it generates a TO and confirms it as per the setting in configuration.
    The same thing does not work when we run it through PP (CO11N and then CO13).
    Any suggestions on how to approach this and where to check for missing configurations?
    Thanks and Regards,

  • How to change price differences account during subsequent debits only

    Dear all,
    Has anyone succeeded in changing the price differences account during invoice posting (MIRO) according to particular customer specifications like having it changed only in case of subsequent debit invoices (this is a current requirement which we would like to solve)? Is there any BADI which influences the price difference account determination or is there only the PRD-related setup via account-determination-customizing?
    Thank you for your feedback!
    Kind regards,
    Klemens

    They don't want to control the "PRD accounts" - they just need a solution to have different accounts available for the situation in which the usual PRD account assignment triggers. They need this because they get subsequent invoices (very late in the process) after the whole stock is already moved away and hence, the whole subsequent invoice amount would go to the price difference account; which they don't want to have.

  • Price Difference GL During MIRO

    We have  a scenario where we receive Invoice for a material (with MAP) after some time of GR for e.g., 10 to 15 days of GR. Mean while we consume some of the stocks already received. When we post invoice (MIRO) with some price changes to PO price, system checks the stock overview and posts the proportionate amount to Material account and Price Difference account (PRD), which is a standard behavior of SAP. But, we dont want the amount to be posted to PRD. We want to post the entire amount to material account only.
    Can anybody suggest the workaround solution for this.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Bharathi

    Hi
    Another process, though manual would be, to activate the Material Tab in MIRO. There after, what ever, quantity is available in stock you can pass a debit or credit to material. However, it is not the suggested correct way as MAP will not be in propotion to existing stock quantity.

  • Price difference in MAP material

    Hi,
       I am taking a material which is managed Batch wise and split valuation is active, while valuation type is moving average price.
    when doing the goods issue for the material, it is hitting the entry in Price difference account..
    But when I am reversing the same GI document, it does not hit the Price Difference account. It loads the Price difference on inventory.
    but requirement is that, during reversal of goods issue it should post the PRD account by whatever amount was posted in PRD account during Goods Issue.
    Please help me out, how to solve this. By any means, can we post the entry in PRD when material is managed by MAP.
    Thanks,
    Varun

    Hi,
      Material A is batch managed with split valuation active. In the material master valuation type  MAP is maintained.
    When doing the Good Receipt of this material with quantity 1, with 475 $, MAP changes to 475$ for newly generated batch valuation.
    When doing the Goods Issue at 300$ with quantity 1, inventory account is credited by 300$, and 175$ is debited to Gain/loss account.
    When reversing this GI document, material account is debited by 475$. But my requirement is that, it should debit material account by 300$ only and 175$ should be credited to Gain/loss account.
    Hope, now I am able to clear my requirement.
    Thanks,

  • 0.01 price difference local currency amount (not due to forex)

    Hi All,
    I have this strange system behaviour.
    In foreign currency, it has no issue. But when see in local currency, it has price difference which is not due to forex.
    The exchange rate used is 7.79594
    ithe 4 GR lines in foreign currency
    14,006.00
    9,870.00
    14,194.00
    3,948.00
    where the total foreign amount is 42,018.00
    the 4 GR lines in local currency
    109,189.98
    76,945.96
    110,655.62
    30,778.38
    where the total calculated by system is 327,569.94
    BUT, if you calculate yourself, it should be the below where total is 327569.81.
    109189.94
    76945.93
    110655.57
    30778.37
    Both amount giving the difference of 0.12. (line item of GRC cannot set off due to difference of 0.12. GR 327,569.94 and IR 327,569.82).
    Now, during IR, the foreign amount is same which is 42,018.00 and exchagne rate also the same 7.79594 but the GRC amount is credited 327569.82.
    But if you see in PO history in me23n, the amount at IR line is 327569.81.
    When I see the document in local currency, it throws out credit of 0.01.
    My question is,
    1) why during GR, the amount calculated manually and system different by 0.12?
    2) why during IR, the local amount with addition of 0.01, which is 327569.82 whereas in PO history in me23n, it is showing 327569.81. Why FI document figure and PO history tab IR line different by 0.01?
    Thanks

    Hi Calesta,
    While the currencies have decimals exceeding 4places, then system would many times dismayed while converting and displaying between the local and the foreign currencies. Pls check if you have defined decimal places for the currencies as per your requirement.
    Finally the concern is in the acc doc entries either in MIGO or MIRO. If the difference you are getting is affecting your accounting due to exchange rate differences etc you can configure automatic posting by TE key KDR in OBYC

  • Miro hitting inventory and price difference

    Dear All,
    I would like to seek advice of the posting during MIRO on point 4 and 5 why there is a hitting on inventory account and price difference of the amount given? How system get the amount in inventory account and price difference account?
    Really need advice.
    1)
    GR - qty 20
    dr inventory $1500000
    cr GRC $1500000
    2) GI - qty 1 and now remained only 19 qty
    moving price = $75,000
    qty = 19
    price unit = 1
    value = $1425000
    3) MIRO
    dr GRC $1500000
    cr vendor $1500000
    4) MIRO say qty is 21 and amount no change
    dr GRC $1571429
    cr vendor $1500000
    cr inventory $64626
    cr price diff $6803
    5) MIRO say qty is 20 and amount i enter $1507500
    dr GRC $1500000
    cr vendor $1507500
    dr inventory $7125
    dr price diff $375
    thanks

    refer my remarks in BOLD
    4) MIRO say qty is 21 and amount no change
    This scenario is not possible as you have taken GR for Qty 20 only.
    *still you have added $ 71429 in GRC so this should be uploaded on Inventory ($71429 / 21 = 3401.38) hence Inventory account will get updated with $3401.38 * 19 (available stock)  ie $ 64626 & diff of 21 - 19 = 2 * 3401.38 ($6803) will be updated in  Price Diff account*
    dr GRC $1571429  
    cr vendor $1500000
    cr inventory $64626
    cr price diff $6803
    5) MIRO say qty is 20 and amount i enter $1507500
    * Goods receipt is posted with 1500000 but vendor has presented invoice of 1507500 hence the additional cost ie 7500 has to be loaded on inventory but available inventory is 19 as 1 qty is already issued from stock hence (7500/20 = 375) for 19 qty inventory account will updated with $7125 (375*19) & for material which is already issued prior to taking invoice receipt ie 1 Qty (375 * 1) = 375 will hit to Price Diff Ac.*
    dr GRC $1500000                                  
    cr vendor $1507500
    dr inventory $7125
    dr price diff $375

  • Foreign Exchange difference posted to price difference account at MIGO

    Hi,
    We have a problem regarding posting foreign exchange rate difference at the time of GR.
    We are costing materials at the beginning of year, and purchases made during the year as per PIR will result in legitimate price difference which is posted to price difference account.  Thatu2019s working alright.
    Now, due to new business requirement, we maintained PIR in MXN (Mexican peso), & standard cost is converted in local currency USD as per exch. rate maintained in OB08.
    Now, when we do GR, the difference of foreign exchange at the time of Std. cost & GR date is posted to Price difference account instead of foreign exchange account.  For eg. Std .cost of material A is 1000 MXN, and GR cost of material X is also 1000 MXN, however corresponding USD is different because of different foreign exchange rate.
    Will appreciate if someone can suggest on how can we post it to exch.rate diff.account instead of price diff. acct. ?
    Thanks,
    Nirav

    Hi,
    Thanks for your replies.
    We have already maitained exch.rate GL OBYC-KDM, which is successfully posted with the exch.rate diff.arising out of GR & IV at the time of IV.
    I'm talking about price difference in Std. cost & GR value because of exch.rate diff.
    For example, Std cost for Material A is 1000 MXN converted to $100 with exch.rate of 10. Now, GR happens with 1000 MXN converted to $200 with prevailing exch.rate of 5. Please note that std. cost and GR is the same price 1000 MXN, but USD amount is changed resulting $100 gets posted to PRICE DIFFERENCE Account, whereas we want to post it to FOREIGN Exch. diff.A/c becuase it's arising out of exch,rate difference.
    Please let me know if it makes sense.
    Thanks,
    Nirav

  • Change Multi-Level Price Difference Process Category

    Hello ML Gurus,
    We have a situation
    Our I2P team has certain process orders that are recursive -- header material the same as component.  (These are NOT rework order types, but standard process order type PR01).  In the beginning, they posted GR as process category "Receipts", and GI as process category "Consumption". This resulted in cyclical error during CKMLCP.  When we cut off connections and ran, it left a huge price difference as "Not Allocated".
    To circumvent this problem, I2P used a BADI to change the process category for the consumption to "Receipts".  Everything was ok, until the monthend.  When we do the Multi-Level Price Determination, the price difference gets posted to Consumption only, and since the original consumption is moved to "Receipts", the entire price difference is now "Not Allocated".
    We think we can fix this by changing the process category for the multi-level price difference to "Receipts" also.
    Is there a way to do it?  Any BADI, User Exit, Enhancement -- anything?
    Also, this is not a pretty design....do you have a suggestion for improving the overall process?  We used to have a Product Cost Collector and post these consumption and then settle them monthly, but we lost traceability for the batches so we cannot and do not use them.
    Appreciate your help.
    Cheers,
    TD

    Hi,
    Basically single level price determination calculates periodic unit price based prices differences for that material alone is considered
    Multilevel price determination considers its own differences as well those of the input materials.
    Hence single level price determination is a prerequisite for multilevel determination

  • MAP / Standard GRC and inventory unit price used during MIGO

    Hi,
    I want to seek advice of the below.
    The value is quantity x unit price where I would like to ask on unit price.
    MAP - during MIGO
    1 debit inventory - price refer to PO or material master
    2 credit GR/IR - price refer to PO or material master
    Standard - during MIGO
    3 debit inventory - price refer to PO or material master
    4 credit GR/IR - price refer to PO or material master
    Thanks alot

    > Cr-Gr/IR - ?
    Hi Cal,
    Obviously it is the PO price. GR/IR is the offsetting intermediary entry that is to be paid to the vendor with respect to the price you have mentioned in the PO, it is acc payable to the vendor depending on PO unit price. In real time you are buying the goods from the vendor at the price which you mention in the PO, hence system has to take account how much worth material in coming to inventory and how much outstanding to the vendor (GR/IR).
    In case of MAP, market price keeps varying and the same is updated in the material master on averaged base as and when the procurement price keeps changing, but that will not stop you from buying material at lesser or higher price everytime you order your vendor.
    In case of standard price (usually for FERT, HALB) it's your business decision to keep the material price standard and fixed for various resons (such as costing and cost sales price) hence any price differences in S are to be mapped to separate G/L acc to track the differences. Nevertheless if your standard price is say $10 and your PO price is say $8 or $15, inventory is debitted with the PO price ( $8 or $15) and the same is creditted to GR/IR as acc payable to vendor.
    Hope its clear

    Hello,
    I think While crdeit memo system will hit Price differe account, Please clarify how the Subsequent debit/Credit works.
    Suppose you have ordered 100 kg of a material. The vendor invoiced you $1 a kg, being an invoice of $100.
    After a while he notices that he should have invoiced you too much or not enough. He tells you he made a mistake and agrees with you he can send you an additional invoice/credit memo for the invoiced quantity with the price difference. This will be posted as a subsequent debit/credit.
    The subsequent debit/credit is an additional invoice/credit memo where only a price difference is posted for a certain quantity without influencing the invoiced quantity in the system.
    After the posting of the subsequent debit/credit, you still have 100 kg invoiced but for a unit price of $1 +/- the additional correction.
    Suppose you have ordered 100 kg of a material. The vendor invoices you 105 kg. You don't agree. He should send you a credit memo for 5 kg.
    With a regular credit memo, you'll end up changing the invoiced quantity.
    After posting the credit memo you'll have an invoiced quantity of 105-5=100.
    In short:
    - a subsequent debit/credit will be visible in the system as an invoiced price difference for an existing invoiced quantity. The invoiced quantity is not touched. The quantity you enter during posting is to indicate to what quantity the price difference relates.
    - a credit memo is a correction of the invoiced quantity

  • Invoice verification price difference

    Hi,
    During the point of invoice verification, we'd like to capture the
    price difference of some items related to certain item category to a different account (Provision or Price Difference account) instead of posting to the Cost of Sales. Currently under the transaction OBYC, there seemed to be no such functionality. Does anyone know how to configure this?  Must it be made through CMOD?
    Cheers,
    Gimmo

    Dear Gimmo,
    Following is my thought on this.
    1) Since you want to post price diffrence is Price diffrence account , basic requirement is that in Material Master record price control to be standard i.e "S".
    2) If you want to post this amount to seperate GL account , you can achieve this through automatic account determination using account modifier group for this transaction event key.
    For ex.
    Client   C acct    Trans   Val Gp  " AG "     V class  G/L a/c
    400       INT        GBB     001       " BSA"      3000    400000
    Please check is it useful to you?
    If so reward points,
