Error: moving average price negative while doing MIRO

Hi Experts,
I am doing MIRo for PO where its giving me error while posting the Invoice that:
Moving average price for material is negative: XSEPSNPW045CX 1044
The MAP maintained in material master is 39,979.71 and in the invoice and GRN is 69,049.58. 
Can any please help me to resolve this.
what would be the implications if the price difference is too high b/w MAP in Invoice amount.
and
what happen when we paintain the amount in mr21.
Regards,
Sonali.

Hi,
Pls check your price in MMR (MAP price) and then check the IR price of material ....
Example:
MMR MAP Price = 5.00 EUR
If IR price = 30 .00 Eur
IN YOUR CASE:
The MAP maintained in material master is 39,979.71
and in the invoice and GRN is 69,049.58.
So MAP PRice defined in the MMR is lesser than the IR price...
so the MAP will get negative...
Hope it helps...
Regards

  • Moving average price of material is negative - MIRO

    Hi,
    We are trying to create an invoice using MIRO and we get this error"Moving average price for material is negative..."
    Could you please provide some inputs as to why this might be happening and how to resolve this.
    Please do not suggest that we change the moving average on the material.
    Thanks,
    Venkat

    Hi,
    The answer is to change the moving average!!
    Calculate your new price as -
    Difference/Current stock holding(/1000) + current moving average

  • Difference between Standard Pricing and Moving Average Price

    Hi,
    Would like to seek some advises on the difference between standard price and Moving average price.
    also, how does it affect the account postings differently?
    Thanks

    Standard Price
    Materials whose price control indicator is set to S are valuated in Financial Accounting (FI) at standard price.
    This is recommended for semifinished products and finished products.
    The moving average price is shown as a statistical value in the material master record.
    The standard price is normally calculated using a standard cost estimate for the material. The standard price can also be calculated in a mixed cost estimate.
    Moving Average Price
    When materials whose price control indicator is set to V are received from in-house manufacturing processes, they are initially valuated with a value you defined (such as the standard price). When you settle, the material stock account is debited with the variances. This results in a new moving average price.
    Valuating semifinished products and finished products with the moving average price is not recommended.
    Regards,
    Indranil

  • Affects on moving average price

    Let's talk about the affect on the moving average price please.
    Does my MM, and Contract and PO and Invoice price all have to match in order for the moving average price to be accurate?

    if you till have stock when the invoice with a different value is posted, then the difference is posted to stock and  the MAP is adjusted. If you have no stock anymore, then the difference is posted to a difference account.
    about which goods issue and payment  are you talking?
    goods issue to a delivery to a customer? payment from customer?
    No you dont necessarily need a goods issue to collect payment. depending on customizing of your business processes you can do order related billing and collect the money as precondition for a goods issue.

  • MIRO : Moving average price for material is negative

    Hi,
    i post an invoice but the system gives me this message : "Moving average price for material is negative: 120462 M411"
    i tried to change the average price (MR21) but really it is not a solution.
    is there any other solution to post this invoice?
    Regards
    Edited by: jehade el aoumari on Oct 22, 2008 2:06 PM

    Moving average price negative error comes when the correction in price of material made in MIRO is more than its moving average price in material master.  There are three ways to solve this error,
    MR21 as you said, or
    Reverse all previous transactions like GR in the sequence they were made, amend the PO and make fresh GR. or if this is not possible,
    Complete the MIRO with wrong amounts and pass FI jv to rectify the wrong FI impact....
    Hope this helps you..

  • Moving average price for material is negative: M8 783 while credit memo/MR8M

    Hi,
    We receive an error message :M8 783- "Moving average price for material is negative". This is while we do a credit memo or MR8M.
    This is the screens shot of MB51:
    Below is the PO history for the material in question:
    While cancelling the IR above, the error message apperas as "Moving average price for material in plant is negative".
    Not really clear how this situation should be handled.
    The MAP of this material has not changed.. Its 500$.
    Read the oss notes as well, but would like to get some response from the forum to proceed.

  • Moving average price for material is negative while MR11.

    Hi
    Encountered "Moving average price for material is negative"  error while performed MR11 transcation.
    GR alerady done but not IR. Few months later, now GR/IR clearance having this issue.
    I could found the material price is being revised (price reduced from earlier GR time).
    Now while performing one time clearance though MR11 (there wouldn't be any IR posting in P.O) having this error.
    Appreciated if any one can advise in steps how to clear.
    Thanks
    RG

    Hi,
    You should define the GR/IR clearing mantenance which will not  update the material stock account! Had better assign another G/L acccount (non-material stock account) to GR/IR clearing!
    Good luck

  • Moving average Price for Material is Negative

    HI Friends,
    I am doing MIRO for PO where its giving me error while posting the Invoice that
    Moving average price for material is negative
    Can any please help me to resolve this.
    what would be the implications if the price difference is too high b/w MAP in Invoice .
    Thnaks
    Purna Nalluri

    It is ofcourse bcoz there is price difference in the between PO and IR....
    so as per the calculations the MAP becomes negative....
    The formula for it is :
    Difference/Current stock holding + current moving average...
    Pls check you price entered at PO and IR....
    There are no any implecations...excepts the price differece is reflected in the MAP of MMR....
    hope it helps...

  • Moving Average Price does not get updated for Project Stock

    Hello Experts
    We have an Engineer-to-Order implementation for our client. Accordingly procurement is done per project. Each Project issues its PRs which are then converted to POs and recieved into Project Stock.
    While assigning the material to the Network activity in Project (using material component) the system uses the price found in the material master (MAP or STD) as a planned cost appended to the project.
    Problem:
    while procuring the material, when we receive it into Project Stock (Mvt 101 Q + ) the Moving Average Price in the material master does not get updated. this way all newly created material master will never have a moving average price, thus whenever we try to assign them to the project we receive an error message (Cost for Material Component ###Mat.Num### cannot be determined.
    Question:
    How can I get the system to update moving average price (for all types of stock) based on procurement for project stock.???
    Your help is kindly appreciated.

    I'm sorry for the confusion
    Case:
    The T-code is CJ20N Project Builder in PS module
    we are assigning material components to network activities under a certain WBS element in the project.
    there is a function in the Project Builder to calculate the cost of a network. it uses the costing variant assigned to the network which is PS02 (We get the error here)
    The costing variant has a valuation variant which lists a series of strategies  to get the material price. Planned 1 if not then STD if not then MAP. (you can choose between many options via a drop down menu) you can choose 5 consequent options.
    The MAP that the valuation variant is coded to get is the Plant Stock MAP -- Or the Project Stock MAP but only Per WBS element.
    The MAP that the Actual postings update is the Project Stock MAP only Per WBS element.
    This means that if you use a material component to purchase material 123 Acc.As. Q for WBS X for 10 $ then you try to assign a new material component with the same material 123 to WBS Y, the system will not get a MAP. because it's stored in QBEW per WBS element.
    This way the system will never get the MAP right.
    However, we don't always use project stock to procure for projects, for some requirements we can assign and use plant stock as well for Projects. that way we need the MAP from plant stock.
    In the Valuation Variant you can use a User Exit Strategy. The user exit's name is COPCP005
    My Suggestion is:
    Use the User Exit COPCP005 to calculate the { Total value / the total quantity (MAP) from QBEW + Total value / total quantity (MAP) from MBEW } / 2
    which is the MAP for both plant and project stock together, since that we are going to use both.
    Q: Is this correct !?

  • 'Moving average price for material is negative' calculation

    Hi Gurus,
    I would like to ask for your assistance regarding Invoice having error of 'moving average price for material is negative'.
    How is it being calculated that it goes to negative value? Can you also please give a scenario on why it became negative?
    We have the following scenario:
    MAP: 0.30
    Total Stock: 9
    Total Value: 2.74
    PO raised and GR was done:
    Quantity: 240
    Value: 2.95
    Would appreciate your assistance on issue.
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    Please check that price of that material is increased or decreased by using transction MR21. after GRN.
    You posted a valuated goods receipt for a purchasing document for a material with moving average price control.When the invoice was posted (invoice item with price variance for goods receipt), the system generates error message M8783: 'Moving average price for material & & & is negative'.
    Between the posting of the original goods receipt and the entry of the invoice, the system already posted additional valuation-relevant transactions/events (goods movements, invoices and so on, can be displayed with Transaction MR51).
    The invoice verification tries (for stock coverage) to credit/subsequently debit the difference between the value of goods received and invoice item value for the stock.However, the material total value must not become negative by this stock posting.
    Solution
    Before you post the invoice, you must first increase the stock value.
    The amount by which the stock value must be increased at least can be calculated from the following values:
    1. Transaction MM03, accounting view material master, field 'Total value' (MBEW-SALK3)
    2. Invoice item value according to invoice
    3. In the invoice verification (Transaction MR01, MR1M, MIRO), change the invoice item amount to a value which is high enough and simulate the invoice to receive the value which would be posted for this item to the GR/IR account.
    In the invoice verification, the value (3) minus (2) is posted to stock. It must be larger than (1).Post a subsequent debit with the amount (3) + (1) - (2) for the affected material/plant (Transaction MR22).
    You can post the invoice afterwards.
    Regards.

  • Negative stock ('moving average price for material is negative')

    Dear all,
    I have a question with regards to negative stock.
    Does it means if I configure my system (i.e. OMJ1) by allowing the negative stock for a particular plant, the problem of Invoice bumping the error (i.e. 'moving average price for material is negative') WILL NOT happen at all again?
    If not, how can I solve this problem?
    thanks.
    tuffy

    Hi,
    As Jürgen said price can't be negative. You need to correct MAP first before posting the invoice. Try running consistency check (Tcode: MB5K) you might know the reason why system is showing -ve moving average price and then you can correct.

    Rakesh
