Decimal places values of Moving average price

Hi Experts
Here is scenario: a material having moving average price (V) when transfer posted with movement type 416 (From project stock to Storage location) is creating an extra FI entry in "Stock in Transit" A/C with a minimal value.
After a deep search i came to conclusion that how system is creating a difference amount to post in a "Stock in transit account".
Material X Moving average price = 10
Total stock at Storage location 123= 1500
Total Value of stock at Storage location 123 = 15500
Now upon transfer posting of 100 qt accounting entry will be as follows
Material X 100 * 10(V)= 1,000
Material X 100* 10.333(Calculated as 15,500/1500=10.3333)=1033
Difference of 33 will b adjusted in "stock in transit" A/c
Decimal portion value is in stock in transit account. How can i avoid this & why system is not calculating with Price V & why decimals are in consideration?
Thanx in Advance
Asif Shahzad.

check the posting key in movement type because ideally, stock should be 1600 after you transfer 100 pcs,
MAP should be redetermined.
please also check if price mechanism in material master is having S.
because if price mechanism is 'S', system will also have Moving average price, people get confused because of this.

Materials Valued at Moving Average Price

Hi,
What is the role of product cost planning in case of materials valued at moving average price.

Hi,
When you don't use materials for production planning you can use in MM the moving average price.
When you are using PP it is better to use standard prices, you make a planning in product costing and from there you update the price in MM. For the sales materials it is a total price from different components used in your PP order and perhaps some stistical components
Later with sales you upload CO-PA with the sales price and can upload the information from PC. In PC you can have a version by month / year.
When you use material ledger you can upload the price differences to CO-PA.
Now you can report from Material ledger and CO-PA the differences between standard pricing and the real costs in combination with sales

Moving Average Price - RM

Hi,
For the client, to perform actual costing we have enabled
ML.
Price Control :RM - V & SFG/FG - S,
We have completed the product cost planning, performed GRR .
For the mentioned above scenerio, request to answer the
following queries:
a) How to avoid the updation of standard price for RM?,
b) While performing GRR,
Ex : Last Moving average price : 0.55 Paise / KG,
PO price : 0.90 paise / kg,
system passes the following FI entries:
110001     Inventory -RM     6.600,00
210002     GRIR     10.800,00-
410061     Price Diff-RM-PRD     4.200,00
- can any one explain the same how to rectify the same to get the complete amount in Inventory than in price difference?

Hi,
Your scenario is like this:
RM Price Control - 'V'
Price Determination - '2' (Transaction Based Settlement).
SFG / FG - Price Control - 'S'
Price Determination - '3' (Periodic Price Unit).
for items with price control 'V' and Price Detrmination '2' the system would create 2 accounitng documents together with the GR.
1. The first accounitng document is what you have written.
2. The second accounting doucment will settle the price difference posted in the first document to the mateiral. Thereby ensureing that material is valued with moving average price.
The price determination is '2' which means Transaction based settlement so the system identifies the difference, posts it and also settle it to the material simeltenaously.
You can confirm that the valuatioin is correct by checking transaction CKM3.
Hope this helps you.
Thanks & Regards,

Updating the Moving Average Price

We want to adjust the price of a material to account for storage overhead by adding 10% to the price. We have found procedures to modify the price if the price control is standard, but none for moving average prices.
     As I understand it, the moving average price is re-calculated for a material every time stock is received and the new value is stored in table MBEW (VERPR). Weve pretty well determined that we dont want this to change. Rather, it seems best to simply add 10% at goods issue time (and do a split valuation for the account assignment).
     Ive examined transaction MIGO for user exits and found a couple that look promising: EXIT_SAPM07DR_001 (Customer Function Exit: Material Document Item for GR/GI Doc) and EXIT_SAPM07DR_002 (Customer Function Exit: Acct Assgmt for Multiple Acct Assgmt). I didnt find any BADIs.
     Has anybody used these exits for this purpose? Are there other exits or BADIs that would be more appropriate? Does it make sense to change the price this way at all?
Thanks
Rob
Well, I got about the response I expected. I'll close it in a couple of days if no one has any ideas.

Hi Rob!
I found this thread again and started reading a little bit.
I can't follow your problem.
When you have PO and vendor invoice, then we should talk about goods <b>receipt</b>. Then it's quite usual to add additional values (like freight costs, taxes, customs...), which are not part of vendor invoice, but can be part of goods receipt value (depends on statistic flag).
When you have goods <b>issue</b>, then you have internal movement (to a different company code) or sales process. Then you should not increase goods value above moving average price - otherwise goods receipt of 100 PC and goods issue of same 100 PC won't end up with 0 value. Your revenue (for storage costs, handling fees, packing material...) can be added in an invoice for the sold goods - but that's not part of VPRS (stock value).
The question, if you display something in an outgoing invoice is just related to printing - internal documents can be larger.
Also selling based on saved conditions (not based on VPRS + surcharge) is an option -> free defined surcharge, no possibility for outsiders (personal in warehouse) to follow up the mark-up.
But I guess, your thinking about extension of an existing process: you might have already an unusual starting point for process design.
Work-around? Yes, I've heard of customers, where end-of-year balance is 'tuned' in excel before presentation to officials. There are many ways to solve a problem

Changing of Inventory Valuation: Standard to Moving Average Price

I work at a service-based company and have also been asked to research the impact involved with switching our inventory from standard price to moving average price.
Scenario: Change material type TRAD (trading goods) from standard price to MAP.
Process: Change settings in SPRO at the level of u201CDefine Attributes of Material Typesu201D. Currently, this is set for u201CStandard priceu201D with the indicator u201CPrice ctrl mandatoryu201D set. Upon change to u201CMoving average price/periodic unit priceu201D, Iu2019m thinking I need to de-activate the u201CPrice ctrl mandatoryu201D field so any current materials with an u201CSu201D in the Price control field on the Material Master Accounting 1 tab can be changed to u201CVu201D. Is this correct? Also, is there a program that already exists to mass update the Price control field on the Material Master? If not, I was looking to create a CATT for this changeu2026.any other ideas? In some of the forum posts it was mentioned to use t-code MR21 however, even with the u201CPrice ctrl mandatoryu201D field de-activated, the Price control column is grayed out.
It was mentioned in a previous post that all open documents (PO to IR) need to be completed before changing the price control setting, at what point does this stop the process? Does SAP generate a system error message?
Also, any suggestions as to when this price switch is best to take place like after inventory?
Are the above mentioned areas the only areas I should be concerned about or am I missing some areas that should be addressed?
P.S. We do not use have our ML (material ledger) activated or use split valuation.
Thanks~
Dawn

Hi,
If you want to change material from standard to moving average price, Follow the below process
1)first the material quantity and value should be zero
2)if you want to keep value and quantity and want to change price control in future you have to create new material with price control "V' and lock the previous material for posting.

Wrong Moving Average Price

Hello,
Suppose the price of a material was entered wrong in a Purchase Order and the warnings were ignored.
The goods are received and booked into stock ==> Moving average price + stock value are wrong!!!
What are the exact steps to undo these wrong bookings so the stock value + moving average price will be correct?
Thanks in advance!
Danny

Hi,
It depends on the stock movements in the mean time of these transactions.
1) In case the entire stock taken in using the Gr is stiil in the stores , you can achieve the correction by simply correcting the PO and doing the Invoice verification with the exact prices.
2) In case few issues for consumption are already effected , and the net stock in stores is less than the GR quantity , you can only reduce the error by doing the Invoce verification as soon as possible .In this scenario, some postings will be made to price difference account ,which means that the consumptions that have taken place will not be effected, with the updated MAP. But the stock available in stores get updated with new MAP.

Moving average price in case of goods receipt with free of charge

Hello everyone,
Need some inputs......
Sometimes we receive materials from suppliers free of charge (e.g. warranty replacement) u2013 moving average goes down u2013 worst case 0,01 EUR/piece. This causes problems in government reporting and export documentation EX1 and clearance/pro-forma invoice) for deliveries to field engineers (Order type ZIS1, ZIS3 u2013 item cat. ZICA), because moving average price is used for the values in government reporting and on the invoices. In government reporting and on invoices we need to state a true value of the part.On the other hand, the value warehouse stock is depending on the moving average cost as well.Could you please let me know, how to handle such receipts from the supplier to have a correct stock value and correct values on invoices and government reporting?
Thanks
Deepthi...

Hello Deepthi,
It depends on your company policy. If you want to valuate the material along with the material purchased handled in moving average price, free consignment will bring down the MAP for the material.
In that case, you can revaluate the material to the original price in MR21 transaction.
If you are not going to handle the materials received free of charge along with the purchased material, you can go with another material code, with non valuated material type.
But i guess, no company will be asking for another material code. So go for revaluation after the receipt of free consignment.

Updation of Moving Average Price

Dear Experts,
My MM period is open for 2 months (i.e for July and August Now) . One of our raw material is Limestone.
From July 1st there were several Receipts and Issues of limestone in SAP.
In August 9th our survey team found that in our stock we have 25000 TON limestone excess. (Due to Callibiration error)
i.e If the current stock in system was 10000 TON the real Physical stock in storage was 10000 + 25000 TON.
We have created a Free of Cost PO for 25000 TON to account the excess quantity of Limestone in Stock.
MIGO Goods Receipt for the Free of Cost PO was done on 31.07.2011.
Because of the extra 25000 TON Free of Cost Limestone Receipt the Moving Average Price of the Material got Updated. (But only from 09-August-2011 not from 31-July-2011)
I want system to calculate the new moving average price and update all the documents posted from 31-July-2011. MY MM period is not closed.
Is it possible to do so and how. Please Help.
Thanks

Hi
The physical inventory is carried out on the basis of stock management units.A stock management unit is a non-divisible part of a stock of materials for which a seperate book inventory exists.A stock management unit is uniquely defined by
Material
Plant,storage location
Stock type
Batch
Special Stock
Each stock management unit of a material is counted seperately,and the inventory diffreneces are posted per stock management unit.
The physical inventory process comprises three phases
1)Creation of physical inventory documents(MI01)
2)Entry of Count(MI04)
3)Posting the difference(MI07)
1)In the first phase ,you create the physical inventory documents.SAP systems provide several procedures for mass-generation of PI documents.After selecting the stocks to be counted and creating the PI documents,you print out the documents in order to start the counting process.A physical inventory document cotains data that include
>The plant and storage location in which the count has to take place
>The date on which the count has to take place
>The materials to be counted
>the stock types to be counted
>The status of the item
>The status of the PI document
When creating a PI document,you can specify a physical inventory nuber in the document header.This physical inventory number facilitates selection of the PI documents to be processed during entry of the count data,posting the diffrences, and in evaluations.
2)Entering the physical inventory count:For the physical inventory count,you must print out the PI document and forward it to persons responsible for the count.You can enter the stock figures in the system with and without reference to a PI document.When entering the physical inventory count,you can enter a percentage variance of the count quantity from the book inventory,above which the system issues a warning message.
3)You can post the inventory diffrences either via list of differences or via seperate transactions.When an inventory difference is posted,the system creates a material document and corrects the stock figures,and an accounting document recording the necessary accounting movements.
Hope this will be helpful for you.

Moving Average Price tolerances for intercompany transfers

We are looking to utilize the tolerance limit settings for GR's to prevent entry mistakes from affecting moving average prices severly. I have sucessfully tested this process by triggering a warning/error message at the time of a goods receipt, but have been unable to trigger a warning/error for intercompany transfers.
Is this configuration in the OMC0 settings, in config, or somewhere else?
Thanks very much for any feedback.
Matt

HI Jurgen,
Thanks for your reply.
1. We have maintained the price control as V
2. You have mentioned "However it is as well possible to enter an external value in the movement (if enabled in customizing). then the movement is valuated with this value and the MAP in material master is adjusted."
Where to checl in IMG for the above ?
3. We did goods issue in the previous period 12/2011 but doing the GR in current period 01/2012. Do we need to maintain MAP for both the periods ?
If you can please tell us what is the standard process to carry out such activity ?

Moving Average Price for Non-Valuated Material

Hello Experts
The question may seem to be quirky but need your advice for the below.
My client is buying non-valuated material against a cost center, they do not want to keep the stocks valuated. No value update only quantity update. The accounting documents are the following when the GR is done by receiving folks
Qty of material XYZ goods receipted = 10
Debit     Consumption GL   12345678       10 USD          Cost Center ABC123 (This is a warehouse cost center)
Credit    GR/IR account                            10 USD
Qty of mateiral XYZ issued = 5
The goods are later on issued to Production cost center and the client was the below entries to be passed with MOVING AVERAGE PRICE.
Debit    Consumption GL 12345678           6 USD          Cost Center ABC456 (This is production Cost center)
Credit   Consumption GL 12345678           6 USD          Cost Center ABC123 (This is warehouse cost center)
I am aware that as this is a non valuated material the above entry is not possible. Maybe, I will use BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST for the generating the accounting document when the goods are issued from warehosue to production center.
My question is how can i get the moving average price.
Regards
Chokkalingam Pillai

you can have an accounting view for non-valuated materials, this helps for example with purchase requisitions as they could take the valuation price from the material master and the user does not need to enter a valuation manually.
But the material master moving average price cannot be calculated and updated automatically, as it is not foreseen in any standard program to do this for cost center procurement, since SAP only calculates a MAP for valuated stocks.
Further it is not logical to issue non-valuated stock valuated (even with a different price) from cost center to cost center.
It looks like you want to have a kind of internal billing for warehouse services, as you end up with a negative amount in the warehouse cost center which is then the profit.
Why don't you just create a report to run at the end of the month, listing all goods issue movements with their cost centers and taking the price from last PO (or from material master if you decide to maintain it manually) and use this for a manual cost center posting in CO module

Moving average price becomes negative

Dear all,
I have read several threads about this subject but my scenario is a little bit different than the ones described so far:
1 - I had a GR of 12 Tons for 2000 u20AC for material A
2 - Product A had several production consumptions (movement 261) with the correct MAP
3 - My user has accidently posted the invoice for 2000 u20AC, but for a quantity of 12 Kg. This caused a change in the moving average price, causing the following consumptions (261) to be wrong. This posting was done in January (already closed) but only detected now, unfortunately.
4 - We have found the message when the user detected the mistake and tried to cancel the invoice.
As we have dozens of consumptions of this product and dozens of sales orders of the finished product (for which product A was a component), I was thinking of making a value change in MR21 for component A, so that the following consumptions would be correct. And correct the MAP of the finished products, so that the cost of sales is corrected from now on.
I would also forget about canceling the invoice.
Can you tell me if this is the correct approach recommended by SAP? Has any of you faced similar issues that has a better solution?
Thanks in advance,
JL

Option 1 : You have to cancel all the documents last come First to Nullify the effect.( Which I feel the best practice may be bit tedious). And do the postings as required.
Option 2 : Do Manipulate with Movement type 561, means just Put 1 kg or .1 kg with very high value to mitigate the MAV value.
Option 3 : You can go for MR21.

Moving Average Price for Batch Maintenance

Hi Experts,
      I've created material of which stock is maintain in batch (Valuation category = X & Price Control = V).
    Due to batch wise stock, system calculates the moving average price for different batches.
    Can we calculate moving average price at plant level inspite of maintaining material batch wise?
   Is there any other way by defining multiple storage bins for that material so that I can see the stock value differently with single moving average price value?
   Thanks.
                                               Naimish.

In MM03, you get the overall MAP for all batches of the material at plant level without mentioning valuation type in org. level. When specific valuation type is given, you can see its MAP / std price.
Hope this clears the doubt.
Regards,
SAmeer

here new moving average which systems shows for material 'A' is 2.77
please explain why system shows new moving aveage price as 2.77, also why is not considering old values to calculate MAP(stock already present )
Also please explain what could be the possible reason for this error.

Moving Average Price---Intercompany sales process

Hi,
I have a special requirement in Intercompany process..
I want the Ordering company to be charged with Moving Average Price of the Material instead of the Normal Price.
Can some on help me out with this?
Thanks,
Challa.

Hi,
In general i hope, system will not copy the moving average price from the material master through VPRS Condition. In case its not copied then you need to write the logic in alternative condition coloum to copy the moving averate price.
Please confirm whether VPRS is working for moving average price, if not then develop the logic as below -
based on Material and plant, go to table MBEW with selection as MATNR and WERKS bring the value from the field VERPR where VPRSV=V.
Plese confirm for my knowledge also

Moving average price not calculated properly

Hi,
For a consumable material moving average price(MAP) is getting calculated wrongly.
There are 2 goods receipts taken in Jan'08 and Feb'08 at a unit price of 1250 and 1450 INR.
Then there are around 10 Goods issues for a cost centre, Mvt type 201 taken for next few months.
The MAP value has been calculated properly after the Goods issues.
Again there was a goods recipt in Oct'08 for 1275 INR.
The goods issue done in Nov'08 has created a problem and it has calculated wronlgy i.e. instead of Rs. 800, the system has calculated issue price as Rs.3500.
No value has been changed in MR21. No PO's has been created between these days.
Can anyone help us...??
Regards,
Ramya

Hi Ramya,
You have informed in your thread that "for a consumable material..", If a material is procured for direct consumption, the consumption accounts in Financial Accounting are posted when the goods receipt is entered . The total quantity and value of existing stocks of the material are not affected. There is no Goods Issue.
Now, if you procure the material for stock, then changes in Material Valuation due to goods receipts and invoice receipts are carried out automatically (ofcourse manually also) when the relevant transaction is posted.
The extent to which the stock value changes depends on the sequence in which the goods receipts and invoice receipts are posted. The SAP System allows for both possibilities:
- When goods are received before the invoice, the stipulations in the purchase order are used as the basis for posting.
- When the invoice is received before the goods, the details on the invoice are used as the basis for posting.
So, please look into the Invoices and the relevant GR/IR clearing account details. You may get a clue there.
Regards,
Narayana.
