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.

How to enter initial balance for material with moving average price

We have an issue where the customer wants to split one material into three materials. We are thinking of posting goods issue for the original material and post goods receipt for the new three materials. But how to enter the initial balance since these three materials must have moving average price.

Hi,
If you create material first time in system with the help of MM01 then specify the price this will gets affect on moving price.
and if the material is created with ZERO price then use the option MR21 which is said by Jürgen

How to distribute exchange rate difference to material with moving average price?

Hi community,
Exchange rate differences are not distributed into the items based on the shipment (per article/material). Is there a workaround available based on the GR/IR exchange rate difference and the material that was purchased?
Thank you and best regards,
Barbara Dörr

Hi Lokesh,
thanks a lot for the quick answer, but I
had read this documentation and only found this documentation of exchange rate
difference posting:
GR/IR clearing uses the exchange rate of
the goods receipt. The GR/IR clearing run completely clears Unbilled Payables
and Purchases in Transit. The run calculates price differences of EUR 155 and exchange rate differences of EUR
135. The price differences are posted to the price difference account and the
exchange rate differences to the exchange rate difference account.
Therefore I guessed that the exchange
rate differences are NOT distributed to the material with moving average price.
Best Regards,
Barbara

Material with moving average price ,while posting grn act as standard price

hi gurus
i have a material with a moving average price , according to moving average price during grn posting no price difference account should be created at any circumstance , but while i posted grn , i am getting stock account - wip 14407.98 , GRIR - DM 16800 -
Price difference matl trns - 2392.02 WHY THESE PRICE DIFFERENCE CREATED i have maintained only moving average price in accounting view
regards
Leo

hi
In SAP we have two price control moving average price and standard price
In MMR if u using Moving average Price if any difference in price it will post it to stock account
but in case of standard price it post it o PRD account (Price diff Account)

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.

Stock of material and moving average price for each valuation type

Hi
Is anybody aware of any standard report which will show the stock of material and moving average price of the material for each valuation type.
M5BL is one report but would like to check if there is any other report.
Regards
Vaibhav Mahajan

Hi,
Check MB52, select 'Display batch stock' option.
Batch is nothing but your valuation type.
You can see those details there.

MIGO - cancel material document - moving average price

Hello,
When using MIGO to cancel a 101 movement, referring to the original material document, the correction on quantities is correct but the correction on value is incorrect.
Material is valuated with moving average price, and the price of the material has evolved in the meantime, which could explain the problem.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
Regards,
Sergei

Hello Jürgen,
Thank you for your quick reply. I read the note -- it describes the symptom perfectly, and gives example cases which match our situation. However, no solution or recommendation is given. Does it mean that this way of valuating cancellations is not seen as a malfunction, and cannot be changed?
Thanks in advance.

Sergei

Updating Material Master Moving Average Price using BAPI

Hi,
We need to create a program using which we can update material master moving average price for a specific material.
For this we are using BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA.
when we are executing this bapi with inputs, it is showing data updated or created but when we are checking it in MAterial Master the data (MOving Price ) is not getting updated.
Please advise,
Thanks.

I am trying to use BAPI_MATVAL_PRICE_CHANGE to change the price of a material in material master
(The moving average price [MAP] in Accounting View 1)
Using the BAPI, I enter
--> RFC target are
-> Material No.
-> Valuation Area
--> Prices table (I enter the new price that i want)
when I run the BAPI, i get error message (This can be seen in the returns table)
ID --> CKMLSENDPRICE
MESSAGE NUMBER --> 701
DETAILS --> No customizing data for Valuation Area XXXX found
PLease advise.

How to get Material Master Moving average price into Purchase Order

Hi,
How to get Material master moving average price into purchase order instead of Purchase Info record.
Thanks,
Sridhar

Hi,
        I cannot understand whether it is necessary .
       How about as following step?
             1. create Purcahse requisition
                            Price come form moving average price in material master.
             2. Create Purchase order reference Purchase requisition
                            There is a setting from the unit price of P/R onto the unit price of P/O.

Production costs for material with price control V

Dear all,
Can anyone pls tell me, how will the costing occur for a material produced in-house and having price control 'V' ? I am not able to see the target costs.
Also kindly tell me the settings to be done in CO, like target cost version, valuation variant, costing variant, etc.
Thank you,
Shrenik

Rather than giving my own versions I have compiled here SAP inputs. Pl let me know if you require any clarifications:
Costing variant has the following components:
<b>Define Costing Types
Define Valuation Variants
Define Date Control
Define Quantity Structure Control
Define Transfer Strategy
Define Reference Variants</b>
<u>Costing type:</u>
In the costing type, you define the purpose of a material cost estimate by specifying, for example, which field in the material master record the costing results can be transferred to:
Update Cost Estimate
Standard price Standard cost estimate (01)
Tax-based price Inventory cost estimate
Commercial price Inventory cost estimate
Price other than std price Modified standard cost estimate or
current cost estimate
No update Any cost estimate
Define Valuation Variants:
Define Valuation Variants
Here you create a valuation variant containing the parameters required for valuation of a cost estimate.
You also specify which costing sheet should be used to calculate overhead.
Valuation Strategies
Material valuation
Here you define the sequence in which the system searches for prices from the accounting view or costing view of the material master record to valuate materials. You can also access prices from purchasing info records and condition types.
For material cost estimates, you also specify whether additive costs can be added to the selected price.
With configurable/configured material components and with procurement alternatives, the sequence defined here is ignored if the strategy "price from purchasing info record" was selected, in which case that strategy is always executed first. For more information, refer to the SAP Library in the component Product Cost Planning under Raw Material Costing or Mixed Costing.
Activity Types / Processes
Here you define the sequence in which the system searches for prices in activity type planning or actual activity price calculation in Cost Center Accounting or Activity-Based Costing to valuate the utilized activity types and business processes.
You also specify which plan/actual version is used.
Subcontracting
Here you define the sequence in which the system searches for prices in the purchasing info record. In purchasing, quota arrangements are used to create a mixed price for materials that are manufactured with external vendors with parts provided by the customer. You can specify whether the quota of the individual vendors that are entered in the source list for the material to be processed should be determined through the planned quota arrangement or the actual quota arrangement.
External processing
Here you define the sequence in which the system searches for prices in the purchasing info record or routing operation for valuation of the external activities.
Strategy Sequence
You define the individual valuation methods for the valuation variant as strategy sequences. For the valuation of the material components you define a strategy sequence that reads the fields of the material master record in a particular sequence such as:
1. Planned price 1
2. Standard price
3. Moving price
The first price that is not zero is used to valuate the material component.
Target versions:
Target cost versions are used in the following ways:
In variance calculation:
To control which variance (total variance, production variances or planning variance) is calculated
To valuate unplanned scrap( scrap variance)
Unplanned scrap is valuated in the period-end closing activities when the variances are calculated. You can specify in a valuation variant for WIP and scrap which cost estimate you want to use to calculate the target costs for the valuation of unplanned scrap. You assign the valuation variant to target cost version 0 if you want to include it in the valuation of scrap.
When you are using a cost object hierarchy with active distribution, you use the target cost version to control which cost estimate the system uses to calculate the target costs, which are used as the basis for determining equivalences for actual cost distribution.
The actual costs collected at the level of the hierarchy are distributed across the orders in accordance with these equivalences. This distribution is proportional to the target costs for the cost element under which the actual costs are written. Actual costs for material costs are distributed in proportion to the target costs for the origin group, such as for the material, if you have entered an origin group in the costing view of the material master record and have set the indicator Material origin, for example.
If no target costs were calculated under this cost element, enter a cost element group in the target cost version. The actual costs are distributed in proportion to the target costs for this cost element group. This cost element group should be complete. If costs were updated under a cost element that is not in this cost element group, no distribution is possible.
You can calculate equivalences on the basis of SAP standard target cost versions 0, 1 and 3.
The standard system supplies the following target cost versions:
Target cost version 0 ( total variance)
The amount of the total variance generates a posting in Financial Accounting during settlement.
For this version, select actual costs as the control costs and standard cost estimate as the target costs.
Target cost version 1 ( production variance)
For this version you choose actual costs as the control costs and planned costs as the target costs.
Target cost version 2( planning variance)
With target cost version 2, the costs from the preliminary order cost estimate are interpreted as control costs.
For this version, select planned costs as the control costs and current cost estimate as the target costs. You cannot calculate planning variances for the product cost collector.
Target cost version 3 (production variance of the period)
You compare the planned costs of the period calculated on the basis of an alternative material cost estimate (such as a modified standard cost estimate) with the actual costs of the period on the basis of the yield delivered to stock in the period.
The base quantity for variance calculation is the yield.
For this version, you choose the actual costs as the control costs and the alternative material cost estimate as the target costs. To determine the alternative material cost estimate, enter a costing variant and choose a costing version.
The target cost version specifies which data is to be compared. The target cost version also specifies which variance variant is used and therefore which variance catagories are calculated. You can define a different target cost version for each controlling area

Split valuation for material with two different price indicator S and V

Hello Gurus,
Is it possible to maintain split valuation for same material with two different price indicator S and V.
For Ex. Material A is manufactured can be manufactured in house , procured from outside vendor and can be purchased from subcontracting vendor by providing raw material.
We want to keep Price control V for same material " A" which is procured from outside vendor.
And price control S for inhouse produced same material " A".
Besically this material is semifinished and having BOM for subcontracting.
Please advice.

Hi
When the material is split valuated, you maintain the accounting view for the material 1st with valuation category, here the price control should be V.
When you will extend the material to valuation type "Inhouse mfgd" maintain the price control as S, for valuation type "Procured form outside vendor" maintain it as V.

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.
Regards
Rajneesh

'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.
