Change of Price Control indicator.

Hi,
Under what conditions a maerial price control indicator can be changed from 'S' to 'V" and vice versa.
Regards,
R. Dillibabu.

Hi,.
If the material is split valuated you can ONLY change the V to an S on the accounting views that have a valuation type specified.
You CANNOT under ANY circumstances change the V to an S on the "higher level" accounting view of a split valuation managed material (the higher level accounting view is the one where you do not specify a valuation type.).
The reason you cannot is due to the fact that each valuation type below this higher level can have a different price and different stock quantities and so the higher level HAS to be an AVERAGE of the lower levels, managed by the system.
There is no reason why you would ever want to change the higher level view from a V to an S because this view is not used for anything. It simply stores the average price and total value of stock across all valuation types. It is not used in any business transactions.
Why do you want to change it from a V to an S?

  • Change price control indicator from standard price to moving avg price.

    Hi All,
    There is a material which has a negative stock for the previous period and the previous period is already closed.
    When i want to change the price control indicator from S to V for that material in the current period, it shows an error that "negative stock is there, unable to change price indicator".
    Kindly help me to solve this issue.
    Thanks,
    AK

    the price control indicator can be changed  from standard price to moving avg price at any time .......with some restrictions.
    And one of these restriction is the one you see.
    You must not have negative stock.
    Hence you have to make the negative stock zero
    Since your negative stock is in the previous period, you either have to allow posting into previous periods (trx MMRV , of course Finance has to allow this as well)  first. Then you can post e.g. a 202 movement with previous period date  which has a quantity that equals your negative quantity. then you change your price control, then you do a 201 movement (again with previous period date), finally you can restrict posting into previous periods again in MMRV.
    or you just wait a few days, then with the month end closure your curent period becomes previous period and hopefully you will not have negative stocks again. then you can change the price control without any problem (I usually take care that moving average and standard price are equal befor I change the price control)

  • Changing price control indicator and posting difference to sperate account

    Dear Guru's
    Need your advice on how to handle the following scenario. Company wants to change the Price ontrol indicator in a material from V(moving price average) to S(Standard cost).However there is stock in the inventory for this item.Additionally they also want to change the price of the item with the difference posted to a seperate balence sheet account.

    Hello
    While changing the price control, the moving average price becomes the standard price, which is then used for valuation.
    You change the type of price control by overwriting the price control indicator in the material master record with the new indicator.
    Changing the type of price control for a material does not change the value of the material stock, since in both cases the current price becomes the new price.
    For changing the material price, use revaluation MR21.
    At the time of price change, for a material subject to standard price control, the material debit or credit is posted to a price difference account. The offsetting entry is made to an income or expense account. Consequently, a material debit or credit for a material subject to standard price control does not lead to a revaluation.

  • Change of price control in material master

    Hi, SAP experts,
    We have  business scenario where the procurement type in MRP-2 view of material master gets changed from F to  E that is an externally procured item will be manufactured inhouse.
    In such case in costing view the price control needs to be changed from V to S. If both MAP & std. price  are not identical, system is not allowing to change. Secondly since the item will be manufactured inhouse from now onwards, I have to run the cost estimate & update the master.
    How do I deal with the situation.
    Valuable advice is awaited.

    Hi Shankar,
    When the price control indicator is "V", system will allow changing the Standard price manually through Transaction code MM02.
    Similarly when the price control indicator is "M", system will allow changing the Moving average price manually through Transaction code MM02.
    Hope this clarifies

  • Price Control Indicator

    Hi,
    We noticed that one material with wrong price control indicator as "S" instead of "V". It's impacting the overall Inventory valuation. We intend to update the MAP prices for these part no at our end to reflect the correct Inventory but can proceed only once the price control indicator is corrected appropriately.
    How can i acheive this issue?
    Note: Material contains open po's and stock.
    Thanks & Regards

    Hi
    The price control indicator in the Material master can be changed any time if it is allowable to change.
    As previously you had price control S - & standrda proce maintained
    when you change it to V  - The Mocving average proce will be overwritten by the Standard price thus keeping the valuation same

  • Price control indicator and valuation class

    All SAP Gurus,
    Is there any relationship between price control indicator (V and S) and valuation class?
    We want to change the price control for certain materials from V to S and for certain materials from S to V.
    Regards,

    HI ,
    There is no direct releation between valution class and the Price control.
    Yes but a indirect relation.
    it is by the maeterial Type .
    in OMS2--we define the default Price control indicator.
    in OMSK -we define the Material type and the Valution class linkage.
    Know the Price control Indicator always triggers your value .and the way it has to be posted.(on a default value or a Purchase value on a weighted average basis)
    and valuation class triggers ..where it has to be Posted.( GL account)
    so it is how.
    But there could some other implication of the chase of the Price control..becoz.your Previous period price and current period would implact.
    you stock valution would impact.
    so check all these before you Proceed
    hope so it helps

  • Change of price control from "s" to "v" in the material master

    Dear All,
    Due to business requirement, we would like to change the price control for FERT items in the material master from "S-Standard Cost" to "V-Moving Average Price". This change we would like to do only at sales plants (Non-Manufacturing Locations). Very few materilas are having the stock on the date of the price control change
    I would like to know is there any SAP Note / Any of you are having such experience? Please arrange the same.
    Regards

    Hi,
       i am not sure about any program but through MR21 you can change tthe Price in material master.
    If stock is available system will hit to closing stock of the material for price change in case stock is not available it will hit price difference gl account.

  • Price Control Indicator inconsistant

    I am getting this error message at time of Goods Movement (Transfer Posting store to store two step Mvt 313) for a particular material.
    M7315 - Price control indicator inconsistent:
    The problem is I have not created Accounting views for material i have only enabled accounting view in back end configuration.
    I have also checked material twice in MM03 accounting view is not created. I cannot understand why sap is giving this message if accounting view is not created.
    Any help would be useful.

    Hi,
    Before transfer posting store to store, 1st check material type of material master in t.code:OMS2 and find price control in it.
    Now use t.code:MM03 and search material status with views for each storage location individually with plant.
    If material properties are same for two storage locations- why cannot you try with 311 movement type-Transfer posting storage location (one-step)

  • Price control indicator for finished material

    Dear Experts,
    Any one can please clarify on this..
    Can we maintain price control indicator for Finished Product <b>V</b> as well as <b>S</b>
    Out of the above two either one may be statistical.  Considering <b>S</b> as a statistical I need to update price which is having control as <b>S</b> by releasing the std.cost estimate.  Is there is any configuration for this.
    Please help on this.
    Thanks and Regards
    Sivakumar Subramanian

    Hi Siva Kumar,
    Generally we maintain Finished material at Standard price . In turn system will update also moving average price for the same material . so both can be achieved by maintaining standard price in material master.

  • To change the price control of a material from "V" to "S"

    Dear all,
    I am facing an issue regarding Master's change.Actually ,In Material master i have to change the price control of a material from "V" to "S"& the standard price too. But when i am trying to do the same ,system is showing me an error as "Standard cost estimate exists in period 03 2007 "
    Plz suggest sol !!

    Hi,
    To clarify one point,
    You do not make the change via material types. As long as you are not using standard costing you can change the S to a V or the V to an S at any time even if stock and Open POs exist.
    The material type config merely controls which is defaulted (an S or a V) and can be set to block changes if you don't want it to be chnaged.
    But in most material types it is open for imput.
    If the material is subject to split valuation then you cannot change it to an S, it MUST be a V if the material has a valuation category (i.e. is split-valuated).
    Cheers

  • Price Control Indicator in Material Master Record (Accounting View1)

    Hi,
    Is there any way to make the Standard Price (S) or Moving Average Price (V) automatically SET in Material Master Record? So that everytime we create a material, there will be no need to enter which price we prefer.

    Hi,
    Go to OMS2. select material type- goto detail- Tick 'Price control Mandatory".
    Also if you maintain "ext pro allowed i,e,2" ,system will pick price control V automatically.
    For price control S, maintain Int proc allowed as 2.

  • Default Price Control in material type

    While creating a material in particular material type is there any way that price control type i.e V or S can be configured for a particular material type.
    Edited by: amitekum on Nov 3, 2010 1:00 PM

    Hi,
    You can maintain default price control indicator at the time of creating material master record.
    If you user needs to change this indicator, they can change.
    If Client is saying, don't want to allow these indicator change - You can control by maintaining material type settings.
    Transcation : OMS2
    Select your material type abd click on the details icon
    In the Valuation block, maintain Price control field default as per ur requirement.
    Price control = S or V
    If you activated   Priice ctrl mandatory  check box, which is in the same block then Price control indiactor filed becomes displaymode in the material master record. No one can change default price control indicator.,

  • Change price control V to S

    Hi there:
    We wanted to change price control type from V to S and also need to input 20 usd as standard price, so I went ot mm02 to change price control V to S, after that,I used mr21 to update standard price, then I saw price change document posted, do I need to change other area? Please advise.

    Hi,
    From standard price to moving average price
    You can make this change at any time. The moving average price (which until now has been updated for informational purposes only) replaces the standard price and is used for valuation from now on.
    From moving average price to standard price
    You cannot make this change in the following two cases:
    If the material master record is set up as a valuation header record for a material subject to split valuation For more information, see Split Valuation.
    If the standard price comes from costing and is not equal to the moving average price
    If the change is possible, the moving average price becomes the standard price, which is then used for valuation.
    You change the type of price control by overwriting the price control indicator in the material master record with the new indicator.
    Changing the type of price control for a material does not change the value of the material stock, since in both cases the current price becomes the new price.

  • Price control change

    Hi Experts,
    How to change the price control for a Raw material from Standard to Moving Avg Price (Material Ledger Active Status).
    This Raw materials having last year in Standard, now wants to change as per the requirement to MAP. Please advice.
    Regards,
    Raghav

    Hi Experts,
    My scenario is our company using ECC6.0, and the material ledger is activated.
    Wrongly last fiscal year for one plant nearly 50+ materials created under standard price with price determination as 2.
    (ROH - with Price control 'S' + Price Deterimination = 2) and all the materials having stock and values, transactions is going on.
    Now we realized that the raw materials created wrongly in standard price and want to change the price control and price determination. If we change the materials determination and control in CKMM what is the next impact for calculating next prices through cost estimates (CKMLCP or CK40N) and is it suggestable to do?
    We need your valuable inputs / advices....
    Thanks and Regards,
    Raghav.

  • Price control cannot be changed (cost control split exist)

    Hi FI Experts,
    When changing the  price control field in material master through MM02 from "V" to "S" , the following message is displayed.
    "Price control cannot be changed (cost control split exist)".
    What should i do to avoid this?
    Regards,

    Hi Sudharshan,
    Before changeing the Price Control from V to S please check the Moving Price and Std.Price is equal or not.
    This is one of the reason for that.
