Accrual account,Variance Account is invalid while PO Requsition Import.

Hi Gurus,
We are working on "How to set up Outside processing - Procure to use in WIP for Standard Costing" concept.While Perform a WIP Move Transaction to the OSP Step we are getting the follwoing errors
Accrual account is invalid
Cause: The accrual account that you entered or that was derived is invalid.
Action: Enter a valid accrual account.
Variance account is invalid
Cause: The variance account that you entered or that was derived is invalid.
Action: Enter a valid variance account.
When we checked the "PO_REQUISITIONS_INTERFACE_ALL" table ,there is Null value for "variance_account_id","Accrual_account_id" columns.
We checked the account setups in the "Inventory" level for "Accrual account" and "Variance Account",everything is fine.
Please provide me solution for resolving this issue.
Thanks
SR.

I think the value you are passed for ACCRUAL_ACCOUNT_ID and VARIANCE_ACCOUNT_ID are Invalid.
Please check
SELECT * FROM GL_CODE_COMBINATIONS WHERE CODE_COMBINATION_ID = < value of Accrual A/c id >
Record should exists in GL_CODE_COMBINATIONS table.

Good Receipt is posted to price variance account instead of Inventory account

Dear All,
My client have a PO with three materials. All those materials have been assigned to same valuation class. Client has posted GR for this PO and one material has been recorded a misbehavior when selecting the accounts. That mean, it has been ignored the inventory account and instead value has been posted to price variance account. So the debit entry in price variance and credit entry in GR/IR.
But other two material has the automatic posting to correct account as Debit to Inventory and Credit to GR/IR.
Could you pls help me to find the reason for this.
Regards
Sujith

Dear Vivek and Dev,
Attached herewith the screenprint of Accounting view of the two material. Material 300000075 has the correct posting while material 300000028 has recorded incorrect posting

Wrongly picking price variance account

Hi Experts,
I am trying to post the Invoice through MIRO related to stock. there is a bit price difference. Hence it is going to Price variance account. But the Account maintained for the valuation class of that material in OMWB is different from that being picked up while simulating invoice(MIRO). How is this possible. Is there any other setting from where it is picking up other account.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply, but OBYC and OMWB are the same. from omwb we go to t.code obyc and many others. I have checked the account maintained in PRD.
What else can be the possibility.

Is variance account needed for moving average item valuation?

Hi All,
My client is currently using SAPB1 ver.2005 and upgrade from ver.2004.
After upgrade, in ver.2005, they want to add A/P credit memo that is copied from A/P invoice they have created earlier in ver.2004.
When they tried to do that, system prompt an error message saying "Inventory account is not defined, 'item code' (message 173-77).
So I defined a variance account in G/L account determination, under purchase tab.
G/L Determination -> Purchase Tab -> Expense and Inventory Account.
Therefore, what is the cause of this as they never encounter this in ver.2004. They didn't change anything in the G/L determination as well.
Please help..

Kevin

Hi Wilma,
Yes, i have tried both scenarios, the JE i've got are the same with what you have got. But could you explain for scenario 2? Why when you do GRN is MYR 110 and in A/P Credit Memo is MYR 100, But in JE is still
Dr Vendor MYR100
Cr Stock MYR100
Dr Purchase Offset MYR100
Cr Purchase Return MYR100
Shouldn't there be a difference capture of MYR10 to be debited to variance account?
Ok, Can you try this scenario
GRN - A001 MYR110 x 100 units
A/P Credit Memo MYR100 x 1 unit
The JE of the A/P Credit Memo is like the above.
After that, you do another A/P Credit Memo,
A/P Credit Memo MYR100 x 99 units,
My JE
Dr Vendor MYR 9900
Dr Price Difference MYR 1000
Cr Stock MYR 10900
Is this what you get? If yes, could you explain why?

Kevin

Purchase price variance account

Hi,
I have a purchase order created in 2007 and movements done in 2007.
I needed to reverse the GR, i created additional line items on the purchase order with returns flag. When i did GR it has hit a price varinace account.
If i do 102 against 101 does it hit a price variance account if the material value in MBEW table has changed.
Let me know your inputs here.
Thanks,
Regards
Raghavendra

Hi,
If there is a change in the MBEW table for the said item, then you will hit the price variance account, even if you do the reversal using 102.

Exchange Rate Variance Account

We are having a problemwith an invoice in payables module. It is crediting the exchange rate variance account in invoice accounting but is not selecting the right gl code due to which we are not able to generate accounting for this invoice. Can anybody tell me where do we define Exchange Rate Variance account?
Note: If your answer is PO Price Variance account in Financial Options then we have already checked it and it has the right gl code so there definitely is some other place where the aforementioned code is defined.
I can also provide screen shots of the invoice or the distribution of invoice.

Hi Nehmat,
this is an intended behaviour ...
Your purchase order is in Foreign Currency ..
Your Invoice matched to Purchase order is in Foreign Currency ...
Difference between the PO and INV exchange rate has caused Exchange rate variance ..
The entered currency in the above case is Foreign currency therefore entered value for ERV line will be zero ... whereas the accounted line would have the computation for ERV done in functional currency....hence ERV line is acceptable for this case.

Variances accounts - for Price variances

Hi,
I have a problem with deciding how many Price variance Accounts I should create.
There are 3 Production divisions and there are 3 types of PP orders.
Each PP order can create Finished Goods or SemiFinished Goods.
Should I create separate variance account for Finished Goods and separate variance account for Semi Finished Goods?
How can I assign these variances account (for settlement) to an order type, if one order type can do both FG and SFG. Maybe the PP order types should be divided into FG and SFG - so that there would be 6 PP order types?
What can you suggest me?
Best wishes,
Karol

Hi Karol
Create two production variance accounts for FG and SFG. These should not be created as cost elements and should have PRD PRF as account determination. You dont have to create as many variance accounts for each PP orde type
Create one more variance account - called Variances in production as cost element.
Order crated for a material and depending on the material type and valuation class assigned to material, different accounts will be hit
You assign PRD PRF for FG and SFG material valuation classes
Hope the above clarifies. Please assign points

GR posted to Price Variance account

Hi Experts,
I have a material whose price control indicator is "V", Moving price is $1, Total Stock is zero, Price Unit is 1, Standard price is 1, Total value is zero in material master.
I have created standard PO with two line items.
Line 10 is for the quantity of 1 PC at the rate of $100 per PC.
Line 20 is for the quantity of 1 PC at the rate of $100 per PC. Additionally line 20 is account assigned Q "Proj. make-to-order". No other differences.
I have posted GR for line 10. Accounting details are Stock account $100 and GR/IR clearing account $100.
I have posted GR for line 20. Accounting details are Stock account $1, GR/IR clearing account $100 and Price variance account $99.
Any guess why the system posted line 20 in price variance account?
Thanks,
Ranjith

Hi,
I have a material whose price control indicator is "V", Moving price is $1, Total Stock is zero, Price Unit is 1, Standard price is 1, Total value is zero in material master.
its indicate that you have two material code price control V and S but situation is that both material don't have stock and price is same 1$
Now when you do MIG) for second material which has price control S and Po price is 100$
means you have price difference of 99$ ( po price -Material price)
so it will price difference account and its SAP standard
check following sap link also with example

Change the price variance account

Hi,
We have an issue here. When we do posting using MB1B, movement type 309 to transfer from 1 material A ($5.00) to another material B($4.00), there is a price variance $1.00 auto post to a GL account C, and the $5.00 and $4.00 will post to the stock account.
But currently we want to change this price variance GL account from account C to another account D.
Can anyone guide me how to do so?
Kindly please advise. Thank you.

Hi,
In OBYC for the transaction event key AUM, change the GL account.

Accounts determination error is coming while create billing.

Hi Experts,
Accounts determination error is coming while create billing for Account Assignment Group A4 . In some cases only this error is appearing . I m a ABAPer I got this case and I m debugging the code . Can anyone suggest me what all the things i need to check to know the root cause . This error is coming very rarely but I want to find the reasons. I saw some of scn post bt it was not clear .
Please suggest briefly what w'd be the probable cause of this error and how to correct it.
Thanks in advance

Hi Dharmkrit,
In one of your earlier posts, you have mentioned that you have assigned G/L accounts by selecting table 1. This is probably where you might be going wrong.
Please follow the below steps to cross check your entries and you should hopefully have a solution.
(1) First of all, start from the account determination procedure and check which procedure is assigned to the billing type.
(2) Check the account determination type that is maintained in the procedure.
(3) Check which access sequence assigned in that condition type
(4) Check which table/tables have been maintained in the access sequence
* In most probability, you would have maintained a different table in the access sequence while you are trying to assign your G/L accounts to some other table
* Also, since you say that this error is only for a particular account determination type, check if you have maintained the correct combination of application/chart of account/Customer account assignment group/material account assignment group/G/L account in the correct table. However, this combination of fields depends on the table that you have used in the condition technique.
I suggest that you write your entries down while checking the flow. This will give you a clear picture if a connection is missing somewhere in the condition technique.
The customer/material account assignment groups are just keys (two digit codes) and their determination has nothing to do with Z1/Z2/A1 or any other code that you have defined in the system. The main determination is purely based on the condition technique and how correctly you have maintained the connections between the tables, access sequences, types and procedures. Just recheck these entries and you should be able to resolve the issue.
Hope this helps

When i try to set up an email account it keeps saying invalid address

When i try to set up an email account it keeps saying invalid address, why is this?

Probably becaue you made an error in one of the required entries for the mail account. It is very easy to make an error. Rather than trying to find the error, many times it is easier to delet ethe account on the iPod and then recreate it.

Err: No WIP Variance Account exists for item, when closing Production Order

I'm sure the 'WIP Inventory Variance Account' property had been set for the Warehouse of the Production Order.
But I can not update this Production Order from 'Release' to 'Closed' status.
Pls help me out.
thanks.

Hi,
Can you confirm whether the,for the item involved, has checkbox 'Manage Inventory by Warehouse' marked or not under the Inventory tab of the item master data?
Check in COPY of the database, by defining the WIP Variance Account for all the Warehouses for the Item involved and check whether you can not set the status of the Production Order to Close.

"Price difference" being journaled to "Variance Account"

Per the online help in B1 8.8, the "Price Difference Account" in the G/L Account Determination: Inventory Tab window "price differences between the base and target documents are recorded in this account."
When I create a Purchase Order for an item, then copy to an A/P Invoice and change the price, the difference between the PO price and the Invoice price is posted to the "Variance Account", not the "Price Difference Account", per the documentation. I have confirmed that the description of the "Variance Account" function is happening correctly, that is, when the price differs from the standard cost the difference is posted to the "Variance Account".
Can someone help with this?

Gordon,
I only put the "Variance Account" here for reference. My issue relates to the "Price Difference Account". Rather than a difference in price from Purchasing documents going to the "Price Difference Account", it is going to the "Variance Account".
This should be what is commonly called "Invoice Price Variance". The "Variance Account" is used for what is commonly called the "Purchase Price Variance". It appears in 8.8 that both variances are going to the same account even though documentation implies differently.
The following exerpt from the online documentation is not how the system is working:
"Price Difference Account
Used in purchasing transactions only. For certain scenarios, price differences between the base and target documents are recorded in this account."
To recreate this scenario (Invoice Price Variance),
1) Put two different accounts in "Administration | Setup | Financials | G/L Account Determination" on the inventory tab under "Variance Account" and "Price Difference Account."
2) Enter a Purchase Order for a Standard Cost Item enter a Qty of 1 and Price of $1,000.
3) Copy the Purchase Order to an Invoice and change the price to $900.
The journal entry that is created includes a $100 entry to the "Variance Account" set up above.
The alternate variance (Purchase Price Variance) can be recreated as follows:
1) Set the standard cost of an item to $1,000
2) Enter a Purchase Order for the Standard Cost Item enter a Qty of 1 and Price of $900.
3) Copy the Purchase Order to an Invoice and do not change the price.
The journal entry that is created includes a $100 entry to the "Variance Account" again.
These two scenarios should post to different accounts as described in the online help under G/L Account Determination.
