Change costing method from Moving Average to Standard costing

Hi Expert
I need to find out the prerequisites for changing the valuation method of an item from Moving average to Standard costing.
(In the forums i found a note which discusses the change of costing method from FIFO to Moving average.)
It would be greatly appreciated if i can get a reply ASAP
Thank you
Regards
Apsara

Hi Son
Let me rephrase my previous question as i have asked it incorrectly.
Step 1. Make all quantities of the stock zero and also close all Open PO, SO etc
Step 2. change the inventory valuation method
Step 3. Enter new stock prices for the standard cost through stock revaluation. My question is can this be (step 3) done through DTW
Thank you
Kind Regards
Apsara

  • How I can change Valuation Method from Moving Average to Standar

    Hi Experts:
    How I can change Valuation Method from Moving Average to Standar for an item that has bookings. We running Sap Business One 2007 A, PL 45...
    Thanks very in advance.

    Hi
    You can change the valuation method, but for that you need to have zero physical stock for that item.
    Make a Goods issue entry for that Item for all the warehouses, change the method and make goods receipt entry for that item for all the warehouse.

  • Change valuation method from moving average to FIFO

    We have incorrectly given valuation method for our raw materials to moving average instead of FIFO. Now, we have a lot of transactions and cannot change the method after a transaction is done for any item. I want to know if this solution will work:
    1. create new database with item and business master data, chart of accounts, item groups as before
    2. change valuation method of all items
    3. Import GRPO, Excise and A/P invoices from old database
    Does step 3 create its own JEs?? If it does, then my problem will be solved.

  • Is it possible to change the costing from moving average to standard??

    hey all,
    i wana know is it possible to change the costing from moving average to standard or vice-versa in the item master??
    cheers

    Hi Satish
    Please look at the documentation from SAP for using this function. I just looked on my drive and can't find the document I used to have for this.
    Just setting quantities to zero will not work as all open P/O, S/O, etc must also be closed before you can run the Inventory Valuation Method function. This is all detailed in the document.
    I have done this successfully before for a client with over 4000 items, so I have been through the process. Please let me know if you need assistance.

  • Shifting from Moving average to standard price

    Hi all
    Presently we are following for all our Inhouse produced materials with Moving average price,we want to change all the materials to Standard price,is it possible to change & if in case if stock is there we will not be able to change,Shall we have to create New material codes with price control S.
    whats the best solution
    Thanks

    Dear,
    ML is meterial ledger.
    It is used in following cases.
    - You have mutliple currencies and to see the stock in differnt currancies.
    - You want to see the variances to be carried to different levels of BOM and see the periodic price of the product even though the price control is S.
    Hence system will count all the variances and during ML closing steps calculate the variances and send to the higher level of BOM after chaning the periodic price of that raw materil. Hence at higest product level you will come to know exact production cost as well as level by level subassembly cost.
    With this cost you can revaluate the material so that the S price will change to this periodic price.

  • Moving average and standard cost

    Hi All,
    I purchase raw material and trading item. assuming that my raw material is based on standard cost and trading item based on moving average.
    1) if both item have no more inventory, the difference price between migo and miro will charge to price difference?
    2) if raw material which base on standard cost still have inventory, may i know if there is a variance for migo and miro, the difference will go to where? if inventorise then what would happen to the standard cost.
    3) if trading item which base on moving average still have inventory, the variance (between migo and miro) will be added to moving average. right?
    4) for raw material which base on standard cost, may i know if freight cost, custom duty and some other miscellaneous cost need to add in, how possible it can add to the standard cost?
    5) for trading item which base on moving average, may i know if freight cost, custom duty and some other miscellaneous cost also will be added in moving average price?
    thanks

    Hi,
    1) if both item have no more inventory, the difference price between migo and miro will charge to price difference?
    Yes, this is correct as per Accounting Standards
    2) if raw material which base on standard cost still have inventory, may i know if there is a variance for migo and miro, the difference will go to where? if inventorise then what would happen to the standard cost.
    Any difference between the Standard Price in Material Master and Purchase Value (PO Price) will debit or credit the Price Difference A/c no matter whether stock exits or not.
    If Material Standard Price = 100 INR
    And PO Price is = 120 INR
    During MIGO;
    Stock Account - Dr - 100 INR
    Price Difference A/c - Dr - 20 INR
    GR/IR Clearing A/c - Cr - 120 INR
    3) if trading item which base on moving average still have inventory, the variance (between migo and miro) will be added to moving average. right?
    Yes, it will debit or credit Stock Account and will update MAP of Material accordingly if enough Stock coverage is there.
    4) for raw material which base on standard cost, may i know if freight cost, custom duty and some other miscellaneous cost need to add in, how possible it can add to the standard cost?
    No, all will get posted to Price Difference Account as following;
    If Material Standard Price = 100 INR
    And PO Price is = 120 INR and Freight = 10 INR
    During MIGO;
    Stock Account - Dr - 100 INR
    Price Difference A/c - Dr - 20 INR
    GR/IR Clearing A/c - Cr - 120 INR
    Price Difference A/c - Dr - 10 INR
    Freight Clearing A/c - Cr - 10 INR
    5) for trading item which base on moving average, may i know if freight cost, custom duty and some other miscellaneous cost also will be added in moving average price?
    Yes, it will get added to stock and will update MAP accordingly if enough Stock coverage is there.

  • 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.

  • Error in "Inventory Valuation Method using Moving Average"

    Dear Sir,
    Here I am using moving average as inventory valuation method at one of my client. I want to know that in SAP Business One, in case of F.G. valuation we can only get the valuation of Raw Material and not the direct expenses cost.
    Can you please tell me how should i put the Direct Expense Cost (e.g. Labor Rate) in F.G. inventory Valuation?
    Please reply ASAP.
    Thanks & Regards
    SS

    Hi,
    Only the raw material cost will be added to the Cost of the FG based  on the Quantity and price in the BOM.
    Ex:
    To make Parent Item FG 1 nos , you required 2 nos of Child Item of Rs 10 each,
    Create Bom for the same and refresh the cost of the FG (will find a refresh arrow in the Bottom of the BOM -Screen)
    Once you Issue child parts to the respective production order and make  a receipt for the Parent Item the cost of the FG will be posted as RS 20
    If you want to add the labor cost to the FG there is no direct provision to add the cost in SBO, we have give a work around only as follows.
    Create a Service  Item ex.Labor Cost and give the Standard cost for that Item in inventory tab For example for Rs 200/Hr
    Now add the Service item (Labor Cost) in the Bill of material and in the Quantity field  give the Time for the labor required is if the Labor Time taken is 30 min to make 1 FG give 0.5 ie (convert the cycle time to Hours and give the decimal value)
    then refresh the BOM,
    Now the cost of the FG will be 20+100( labor cost) = 120
    The above method can be used only if you have determined a standard time of labor to manufacture,

  • Moving average price/standard price via iDoc

    Hi,
    I would like to distribute moving average price and standard price on price change (price changed via transaction event or MR21) to external system.
    Is there a way to accomplish iDoc (MATMAS) triggering on price change?
    Any idea on how to track changes?
    Searching through forums I found that MATMAS will not trigger on MAP change via transactional event, GR, GI...
    Thnx

    Dear Amit,
    yes - I understand how the system calculates the MAP. However, the receiving system is a SAP WMS - In WM there is no inventory management nor FI/CO. The valuation would always be zero. So I'm interested how can I update it via ALE?
    It works for the first time if I have no valuation (accounting) view in the material and I send an IDoc with the view definition segment and a value for VERPR. But updating isn't possible.

  • Moving average price & Standard price

    Hi every body
    For one material some times we use moving avareage price and standard price for that material
    Which scenerio we use this & why we have to use this,can any body explain me
    Thanks

    Hi Tarun
    Both, Moving average Price and Standard Price are Price Control Indicators.
    It Indicates the price control used to valuate the stock of a material.
    Standard Price : It is a constant price at which a material is valuated without taking goods movements and invoices into account. It is normally used for finished Products - Fert ( Vlauation Class - 7920)
    Moving Average Price : It is a price that changes in consequence of goods movements and the entry of invoices, and which is used to valuate a material.
    The moving average price is calculated by dividing the value of the material by the quantity of material in stock. It is automatically recalculated by the system after each goods movement or invoice entry.
    It is Normally used for Raw Materials -- ROH ( Valuation Class -3000)

  • Show both Moving Average and Standard Price of an item in Report Composer

    Hello
    I do follow all my items at standard price. But i wish to get on the same report both the standard price and the moving average price.
    How can i do so :
    1 - either by a default report
    2 - Or by using report composer
    3 - By using a SQL Query
    Thanks
    Stéphane

    Thanks but is there a way to get both data on the same report ?
    The solution you gave me allows me only to output two different reports....I don't mind working with a vlookup from time to time but on a daily basis, this is a bit laborious
    Thanks for your continuous support

  • Moving average and standard price both maintained

    Hi,
    I have maintained both moving average price and standard price in material master, price control is V
    is there any impact of standard price any where in the system.
    Regards,
    Ali

    Hi,
    The system considers only the price maintained in price control V or S.So Which ever price is maintained it will consider only that. As an example if you maintain price control as S and give standard price, So when you do GR against PO with different prices, You can see that system even calculates moving avg price for statistical purpose and same can be seen in material master. For for the transaction purpose only standard price will be considered.
