How to change price differences account during subsequent debits only

Dear all,
Has anyone succeeded in changing the price differences account during invoice posting (MIRO) according to particular customer specifications like having it changed only in case of subsequent debit invoices (this is a current requirement which we would like to solve)? Is there any BADI which influences the price difference account determination or is there only the PRD-related setup via account-determination-customizing?
Thank you for your feedback!
Kind regards,
Klemens

They don't want to control the "PRD accounts" - they just need a solution to have different accounts available for the situation in which the usual PRD account assignment triggers. They need this because they get subsequent invoices (very late in the process) after the whole stock is already moved away and hence, the whole subsequent invoice amount would go to the price difference account; which they don't want to have.

How to determine price difference account for 301 MT?

I know that 309 movement type is used for tranferring a material to another material . If the prices of two materials are different, price difference will go into transferring account determined by transaction key AUM.
301 movement type is used for transferring material A from plant 1000 to plant 2000. Suppose a scenerio:
plant 1000, material A, standard price 115,
plant 2000, material A, standard price 100,
so, if I use MB1B to do a transfer posting, the accounting entry must be:
Dr: stock posting account    100
     price difference account   15
   Cr: stock posting account   115
What I doubt is, in this scenerio, How to determine this price difference account in OMJJ and OBYC? It is also determined by transction key AUM like 309?
Hope you can help. Thanks.

I have checked that price difference account of 309 MT is also determined by AUM. But, from SAP documentation, AUM is described like this: "This transaction is used for transfer postings from one material to another if the complete value of the issuing material cannot be posted to the value of the receiving material. " So I think that AUM is is used for transferring one material to another material, not used for transferring a material from one plant to another plant. It is different therotically, I think. but, in practice, 301 and 309 both use AUM for price difference account.
THis is my doubt.

Price difference account in case of FIFO method

Hi Experts,
One of client has pop up a question:
According the system behaviour the Price difference account is used when the price in the base document is different than the cost of the open layer linked to that base document, this price difference will be recorded in the Price Difference account. Which means if the price of A/P Invoince differs from the price in the Good Receipt PO then the difference will be posted to the price difference account. But how will the balance of the price difference account credited or debited? Should we make a general ledger postings?
At this moment the balance of the price difference account is 40.000 EUR, the balance of stock account is 320.000 EUR. If these items are sold then the cost is 320.000 not 360.000!
So the system collects these price differences but these refers a real FIFO value , so when the item is sold then the system should calculate these price difference values into the real FIFO value to get the real cost of the item.Is it right or not?

Hi Eszter,
Indeed, the Price Difference Account is a COGS (Expense) account.
In Continuous Stock the calculated Expense (cost of goods sold) is booked when the sale is done as we know.
So when a cost is known later then the actual sale was done this also needs to be booked to an expense account, that is what happens when the Price Difference account is used.
Example:
(Purchase) GRPO Qty 10, Price $15 ($150 debited to Stock)
(Sale) AR Inv Qty 10 ($150 debited to COGS, $150 credited Stock)
Now we have 0 Qty and 0 balance on Stock account.
So now you receive the AP Invoice based on the GRPO where the price in the AP Invoice is 17. this means that you have an additional cost of $20 (Qty 10 * (17-15)).
Why is it NOT debited to stock?
As the stock account should always reflect the value of your stock you cannot debit stock (there is no stock left), so in this scenario it is booked directly as an expense (COGS) instead of going the way -> Stock -> Expense.
That makes sense, right?
Hope it helps.

Foreign Exchange difference posted to price difference account at MIGO

Hi,
We have a problem regarding posting foreign exchange rate difference at the time of GR.
We are costing materials at the beginning of year, and purchases made during the year as per PIR will result in legitimate price difference which is posted to price difference account. Thatu2019s working alright.
Now, due to new business requirement, we maintained PIR in MXN (Mexican peso), & standard cost is converted in local currency USD as per exch. rate maintained in OB08.
Now, when we do GR, the difference of foreign exchange at the time of Std. cost & GR date is posted to Price difference account instead of foreign exchange account. For eg. Std .cost of material A is 1000 MXN, and GR cost of material X is also 1000 MXN, however corresponding USD is different because of different foreign exchange rate.
Will appreciate if someone can suggest on how can we post it to exch.rate diff.account instead of price diff. acct. ?
Thanks,
Nirav

Hi,
Thanks for your replies.
We have already maitained exch.rate GL OBYC-KDM, which is successfully posted with the exch.rate diff.arising out of GR & IV at the time of IV.
I'm talking about price difference in Std. cost & GR value because of exch.rate diff.
For example, Std cost for Material A is 1000 MXN converted to $100 with exch.rate of 10. Now, GR happens with 1000 MXN converted to $200 with prevailing exch.rate of 5. Please note that std. cost and GR is the same price 1000 MXN, but USD amount is changed resulting $100 gets posted to PRICE DIFFERENCE Account, whereas we want to post it to FOREIGN Exch. diff.A/c becuase it's arising out of exch,rate difference.
Please let me know if it makes sense.
Thanks,
Nirav

PRD-Auto Post price differences to different price difference accounts

Dear all,
As I know, in Account Automatic Posting, the transaction key PRD is for Cost price Difference.
If I want to post price differences to different price difference accounts in the case of goods receipts for different cost in purchase orders, How can I configure it?
Example, in PO, there is 2 costs: Freight (F) and Insurance(I) are key in as Condition Type.
I would like to post price difference from F to account XXX, and price difference from I to account YYY.
Can I configure like this?
Thank you very much for your support!

Hello,
What is price difference.
Price differences arise for materials valuated at standard price in the case of all movements and invoices with a value that differs from the standard price. Examples: goods receipts against purchase orders (if the PO price differs from the standard pricedardpreis), goods issues in respect of which an external amount is entered, invoices (if the invoice price differs from the PO price and the standard price).
Price difference in genereal will not trigger for the materials with price control V ( Moving average price) but however
Price differences can also arise in the case of materials with moving average price if there is not enough stock to cover the invoiced quantity. In the case of goods movements in the negative range, the moving average price is not changed. Instead, any price differences arising are posted to a price difference account
For you example, you have you are having PO with Freight (F) and Insurance(I), these are called pallned delivery costs, not Price difference,
so create two different condition type for Freight and insurance and assign two different G/L accounts for these condition types in account determination.
While posting system will hit perticular G/L acconut.

Price Difference GL During MIRO

We have a scenario where we receive Invoice for a material (with MAP) after some time of GR for e.g., 10 to 15 days of GR. Mean while we consume some of the stocks already received. When we post invoice (MIRO) with some price changes to PO price, system checks the stock overview and posts the proportionate amount to Material account and Price Difference account (PRD), which is a standard behavior of SAP. But, we dont want the amount to be posted to PRD. We want to post the entire amount to material account only.
Can anybody suggest the workaround solution for this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Bharathi

Hi
Another process, though manual would be, to activate the Material Tab in MIRO. There after, what ever, quantity is available in stock you can pass a debit or credit to material. However, it is not the suggested correct way as MAP will not be in propotion to existing stock quantity.

Price Difference account at the time of Order Settlement

Hi SAP Gurus
While doing Period End Activities in Controlling, Variances are getting posted to Price difference account (P&L account), similarly at the time of MIRO also, any adjusted amount of a material, is getting posted to price difference a/c if the material stock is not available.
Please help me where this Price diffrence account is assigned or mapped in sap, and how it getting affected while settling orders.
Expecting an immediate reply.
Regards
Praveen Kumar.B

Hi Ganesh
Thanks for valuable advice, but in our case when i double click PRD, there is only one account is mapped in our chart of accounts, But there is no field for Valuation class, from Account field and to account field,
only one field is there by nme Account, where in Price difference account is maintained.
I don't have the option of linking Valuation class with GL Accounts of RM & Semi Finished Materials.
How can make those fields to be shown in that Screen.
If i check for other chart of accounts, it is showing 3 fields
such as Valuation class, from account no & to account no.
but for our chart of account only one filed "account" is displayed in the screen.
Please help me out.
Thanks & Regards

Price Difference Accounts

I want to Post my variances created in my Production order settlement in to The Material Inventory accounts , How i can go ahead ?
My Issue on the Production server of MTO scenario with strategy 20 with moving average price valuation . at the end of the settlement i need to post the variances in to the same Inventry accounts instead hitting the Price difference accounts
Kindly help me in this regard
Regards
R.Rajaram

Hi
If the material has moving average indicator V in MM record, then depending on the volume of Inventory in stock, the variances are accounted.
I shall explain by way of an example:
A material has a moving average price of say $45 in MM record and has a quantity of say 80 units.
If the Production Order produces say 100 units at a price of say 50 and transferred to Inventory. Now we have 180 units at a total price of $8600, thus Moving average price is 8600/180=47.77. Goods issue is say 120 units ,Balance in inventory is now 60 units . Variance on the Production order arises is say $200.
Now the quantity of stock in Inventory is less than 100 (order produced quantity) by 40 units. Hence Variance is proportionately transferred as follows:
40/100*$200=$80 alone is transferred to Inventory account, balance $120 transferred to Price difference account. This is done because if we transfer the whole $200 to Inventory account, it will arbitrarily inflate the moving average price
If the Inventory level in the above case is more than the Prodn order quantity, then the entire variance is transferred to Inventory account.
Hope this is useful

How to change my iCloud account with only access to the Apple ID

Hello everyone
Im using my previous company ipad and i dont have access to the registered iCould account.
How to change my icloud account to a new email account that i own.
I have access to the Apple ID Account but i dont have access to the iCloud account in it.
The Security Question was made by the tech admin of the company not by me, so not even that way its possible.
Thank You in advance,
Frederico

I wish Apple improves this Security measures so that it lets remove features with both logins, Apple or iCloud credentials.
Also the iCloud needs improvements, it should use the Apple ID not some other different login. The email part of icloud should be in iCloud but most people don't use iCloud mail so the rest of the features should be in the same email credentials as Apple ID.
This way im not sure if i take the risk on Restoring the iPad, i could end up beeing locked out of my own device.
All this hierarchic credentials are confusing. I would only need the Apple ID that is being used on the iPad to clean it up or turn off options like iCloud account currently on the device.

Question on iCloud accts: I have my iPhone and iPad on one account, but my Mac is set up on my old mobile me acct. Can't figure out how to change an iCloud account number on my Mac so I can sync all three.

Question on iCloud accounts: I have my iPhone and iPad on one iCloud account, but my Mac is on my old Mobile me account. Can't figure out how to change my iCloud account on my MacBook Pro so all 3 are synced.

First, open System Preferences > MobileMe and log out. Then, open  > About this Mac and see Version. If you see 10.5.x or 10.6.x, see > http://www.apple.com/osx/specs If your Mac is compatible, upgrade to Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and purchase OS X Mountain Lion.
