Default Price Variance to Sending Plant

Hi Friends,
When stock is transferred from one plant to another at a difference in the material cost, the variance defaults to GL Acct 525360(Transfer price variance). This variance defaults to the receiving plant. The question that I have is: could we have the default post against the sending plant?
Is it possible? How can i full fill this requirement?
Thanks
Sunil

Hi Sunil
Neither it is possible nor it should be possible... Let me explain how it works
This case would arise when you have price control S... Suppose Plant A has std cost of 100 USD and Plant B has 90 USD
When you send stock from Plant A, inventory would reduce by 100 in plant A.... In plant B, this 100 worth of stock becomes 90 USD due to different valuation price in that plant... Hence, inventory gets 90 USD in Plant B and 10 goes to price difference....
This way, the 100 USD value sent by Plant A is adjusted 90 usd in stock and 10 usd in PRD....
If you wish to adjust 10 USD in sending plant it will be wrong because the inventory is worth 100 USD in sending plant and not 90 USD..  You cant credit inventory in sending plant with 90 when the value is 100 USD

  • Configure GRIR account and Purchase Price variance

    Hi,
    Please explain steps involved in GRIR configuration and Purchase Price Variance
    Thanks for help. Points will be given

    You need to set up the automatic postings:
    IMG \ Materials Management \ Valuation and Account Assignment \ Account determination \ Account determination w/o wizard \ Configure Automatic postings
    In particular you need to ensure there are settings for the Transaction Event Keys PRD (price differences) and WRX (GR/IR).  Drill through and set per:
    Valuation Grouping Code (these are set per Valuation Area which is normally Plant level and you can see the settings one step back in config.), General Modifier (if applicable) and for all possible Valuation Classes.
    This link is very good,  read the top bit for an overview then go to Transaction Event Keys (about half way down) for further info. on these.

  • Price variance in STO

    Hi All,

  • PROCESSING INVENTORY PRICE VARIANCE

    Hi everyboby.
    I have this problem. I'm looking (without founding it) a standard method to shift inventory price variance account values in the inventory values. At the moment when there is a case of invoice price higher or lower than the purchase order one and consequently the inventory price variance account is used, we don't find any way to transfer that amounts into the inventory to correct the value of material.
    I hope the problem is clearly descripted. Is there one that knows the procedure to transfer from inventory price variance the lower or higher value of material ?
    Thanks a lot !

    Cost management Documentation talks about Transfer Invoice Price Variance - following the text for documentation ...

    Transferring Invoice Variance
    You can transfer variances between purchase order price and invoice price back to inventory, from your user-defined adjustment account, usually an IPV account. This enables you to value your inventory at costs as close to actual as possible.
    The transfer process picks up only invoices that have been posted to GL to ensure that the invoices are approved for payment, and that variances can be added back to inventory.
    Note: Support for Project Manufacturing: If the IPV transfer is for material belonging to a specific project, only that project's inventory will be revalued and its item costs rearranged.
    For any open period, you can specify the date of the IPV transfer. You can override the default date for each transaction on the Transaction Open Interface form before submitting them for update.
    You can only run the transfer process for one organization at a time.
    You can only specify one adjustment account when running this transfer process. You can make changes to the material account for each adjustment transaction on the Transaction Open Interface form.
    Note: The Invoice Variance Transfer is listed as an average cost update in the Item Cost History or View Material Transaction inquiry.
    Navigate to Transfer Invoice Variance:
    1. Select Transfer Invoice Variance to Inventory Valuation.
    2. Select following parameters:
    Transfer Description (Optional)
    Item Range
    Specific Item
    Category Set
    Specific Category
    Invoice Option
    Specific Project
    Adjustment Account
    Invoice Cutoff Date
    Automatic Update
    If you choose Yes, the process automatically updates the inventory.
    If you choose No, the process creates cost update open interface transactions and submits them to the Inventory Interface Manager. You can then run the Invoice Transfer to Inventory Report, review it, and submit transactions using the Inventory Transaction Open Interface manager. See: Viewing and Updating Transaction Open Interface Activity.
    3. Choose OK.
    4. Choose Submit.

  • Price Variance hitting PPV account even when there is stock.

    Dear Experts,
    We have scenario where stock is transferred from one plant to another within the same company code. However the price difference between invoice and PO price is being posted to PPV account eventhough there is Material Stock.
    Your advice is highly appreciated.
    Regards
    Adithya 

    Hi Aditya,
    Sorry for interupting between, please let me share some views on ML, anyhow consider Ajay's input as final.
    Let us assume this way:
    Present your RM price as 100 Rs.
    Your PO is raised for 150 Rs and the stock is 20 KG
    When you have your GR, the entry you might see is...
    Dr. RM stock account (20*100)                        2000
    Dr. Purchase price variance ((150-100)*20)    1000
    Cr. GR/IR                                                        -3000
    Still stock has not been issued to any production order or any cost center etc, so RM stock left with you is 20 KG
    So this might be your scenario, and you are expecting the purchase price diffference should be posted to stock, instead of purchase price variance. Since price control you have made as S (that understood from earlier talk), it is the right behaviour of the system.
    If you want to make the system to consider the difference to stock, then obvously you need to have ML.
    Please have a look at ML process, how system is going to roll up the difference.
    Again assume that inorder to manufacture a particular FG, you are using the above RM of 15 KGs.
    So the RM left at stock after issue will be 5 Kgs
    If you maintain all the settings related to actual costing (ML), at the month end we will be performing ML process, where we will be having different steps to go, among those for the time being these two are important as you want to see the diffence updation to stock.. (explaining only for purchase price differences, but in real system is going to have preliminary value, purchase price difference, production variance and exchange rate differences also)
    single level price determination: by this system is going to calculate what is the amount have to be considered for the respective level (here it is RM) and how much amount to be distributed to next level
    Since 5 Kgs of stock is left out, system is going to allocate at RM level (total difference amount * inventory remaining/total inventory) i.e. (1000*5/20) = 250
    This amount of 250 will be added to RM stock
    at the same time system is going to calculate what amount to be distributed to higher level also (becuase already we issued 15 kgs to FG manufaucturing and at the time of issue system has considered 100 Rs as issue price, but in real it should be issued considering PPV also)
    so system is going to calculate and specifies what is the amount to be rolled up to higher level here it is (1000*15/20) = 750, but in this step system will not add 750 Rs to FG value
    The adding of rollup actual costing is done in the next step i.e. multi level price determination
    I hope you understand.....
    Regards..

  • Hard to believe: missing report on purchase order price variances ...

    dear all-
    Happy New Year to you all and all the best for this new 2008!
    Traditionally the procurement to pay process is an area that really can benefit from automation. However more important than automation (efficiency), tools that support a process have to be effective first! And provide good understanding of business process at hand by providing information on essential key-figures of the process at hand.
    That brings me to the topic of this post: purchase price variance. In my opinion the SAP functionality effectively handles PPV (purchase price variances): variance between purchase price and standard cost (let's call this one PPV1) and the variance between the invoice price and the purchase price (let's call this one PPV2). A good understanding of both PPV1 and PPV2 are useful for potential process improvements ... PPV1 relates more to the efforts of the purchasing deparment and/or determination of pricing in purchase orders while PPV2 brings in the efforts of the vendor.
    Anyways, in order to obtain understanding of the variances mentioned, information is needed. E.g. a purchase price variance report or -analysis. I can't find such a report!
    I did look on various forums and when I find something that relates to a PPV-report or -analysis, people are discussing ways to create an ABAP-report or query ... Much to my surprise: no clear answers. It looks that such a report even does not exist! That's what I find hard to believe!
    Does anyone of you know about a report or analysis-tool on purchase price variances? Or is it really true that such a report is just not there!
    thanks,
    Ben

    Hello Ben,
    i have been checking the whole Forum and also asked around collegues and it seems that it is really still true there is no simple report that is showing PPV details (PO price, Invoice price, Standard price and the quantities and values)
    I think the solution to get such a report is to programm it Starting point would be the line items on PPV account.
    To get such a report with connection between Delivery and Invoice, GR based IV is helpful.
    It is unbelivable that this never has been setup !
    We are currently using FBL3N on the PPV accounts by current monthe with 2 variants subtotalling on matarial and sorting by high value
    Let me know if anybody find a report
    Cheers

  • Invoice price variance

    Hi gurus,
    Can anybody please let me know where to look for the settings for invoice price variance. The PO was created for material A for 26.01 USD for 1EA for 6EA. Therefore the GR amount is 156.06 USD (26.016). We received the invoice for 48.41 USD for 1  EA, therefore the total is 290.46 for 6EA (48.416). accounting have blocked the invoice. Where can we check in the system for the invoice tolerances so that it explains why the invoice is  blocked. I also want to know whether the invoice was blocked manully or system atuomatically did it? Now how can accounting correct this anamoly?
    Thanks
    Anusha

    I guess your invoice has automatically been blocked for payment because either the upper absolute or the percentage limit has been exceeded by the amount specified in customizing for key PP
    Go to OMR6, key PP and check the settings
    Accounting can release the invoice for payment through Tcode MRBR
    See following wikis for some additional information:

  • Invoice Price Variance Report

    Hi,
    When the IPV report is run for a particular month , I find a variance value of -759 against an account. But when I look in Payables entries for this account, I find an additional -1329 , in addition to -759 and when I drill down these are identified as Invoice Price Variance. Why isn't the report picking up this entry ? For these entry lines the source is "Cost Management". Please provide me with some pointers to this.
    Thanks,
    Meenakshi

    hi
    thanks for your reply. assume that PO total is 150. invoice is created of 100. in this case should i see an amount in Invoice Price Variance? im not seeing any change in Invoice Price Variance. for me what happens here is Transaction Amount - Accounted is shown -50 as its still to create an invoice of amount 50 which is in fact the accrual balance. pls give me a feedback on this. i want to produce a scenario which will make the invoice price variance more or less than 0.
    thanks

  • CST amount is debit in the purchase price variance

    Hi
    We are maintaining std in the materials master
    and price procedure as taxinj
    While doing migo, the CST amount is debit in the purchase price variance and credit in the GR/IR RM,
    We need to debit the CST amount in the in the Raw material account
    what are the settings i need to carry out Plz give suitable suggestions.
    in tax code we are not maintining any G/L account for the CST

    Edited by: K. Raghuram on May 19, 2009 1:02 PM

    Hi Raghuram,
    I think,the only possiblity for this to happen is due to the standard Price in the Mterial Mater you are using.
    Means in the Material Master ,the Price key is a standard pricing.
    So ,when ever you do a GRN ,the PO value will go and hit the Material account upto to the Standard price maintained in the material Master.
    if the amount is more than it ,then amount difference will hit the Price variance account.
    so in your case ,the CST is inventorised one ,i believe.. so that is the reason it is behaving so.
    if there is somethig else required.provide a clear insight of the Problem.

  • 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

  • Report for Purchase Price Variance

    Hi,
    Is there any standard report for finding Purchase Price Variance between Purchase Order and Material master
    regards,
    Mallik

    Hi Mallik,
    There is no std report for Purchase price variance .
    But you can check KSB1 , where you can find the Price difference which is going to your PRD account .
    You can find out your PRD G/L account .
    Now go to KSB1 . In the cost element field give the PRD G/L account .
    After executing change the layout as per your requirement .
    Now you can see the Pur Price variance for the particulat material for the PO .
    Otherwise you need to develop a customised report .
    Hope this helps .

  • Purchase price variance line item - not to be posted in Parallel currency

    Hi All,
    Scenario:
    Transaction currency - SGD
    Local Currency - INR
    Parallel Currency 1 (LC2) - Group currency - USD
    Parallel Currency 2 (LC3) - Global Company currency - INR
    Import PO - MIGO - MIRO
    PO is raised in foreign currency.
    Material master price control is maintained in 'S'.
    While doing MIGO, I am getting following accounting entries:
    Stock a/c Dr.
    GR/IR a/c Cr.
    Price variance* a/c Dr.
    *The price varaince is because of difference in my material price as per material master and PO.
    If I go and check in FBL3N, I can see all the line items in Transaction, Local currency and 2 Parallel currencies.
    My query is, In SAP is it possible to avoid Price variance line item posting to Parallel currencies.
    To my knowledge I know that it is not possible to avoid a single line to post it to Parallel currencies.
    Thanks in advance.

    This is the answer from OSS
    Dear Customer,
    the system works as designed.
    When Material Ledger is activated, price differences are always
    generated under the circumstances you have described. The reason is
    that when material ledger is activated, price differences must not be
    included into the stock changes value, otherwise the system would
    not be able to calculate an actual price.
    When Material Ledger is activated, the customizing setting
    for handling price differences in the subcontracting process has no
    effect.

  • Moving average price variance in Invoice verification

    Hello,
    I set in sys that the moving average of price variance will be check in tolerance of x% (lower & upper limit) BUT the system ignore it , when I save an Invoice (MIRO) with price that change the moving average price for more than X% the invoice was saved with no W/E massage . I set all massages that seams to be relevant with E but nothing was happened .
    What is the way to set the system that in Invoice verification stage it will check the moving average price variance and give an alert or will not let the invoice to be post ???
    Best Regards
    Idit

    Hi,
    You can block Invoices using transaction code OMC0
    (a) Use Tolerancy Key VP for your company code
    (b) Fill-up Lower and Upper check tolerance limit %
    When a stock posting line is created as a result of an invoice item, the system calculates the new moving average price that results from the posting. It compares the percentage variance of the new moving average price to the old price using the percentage tolerance limits defined.
