How to resolve price difference in case of Returning material through STO

We are receiving material from our plant A to plant B. Material is manufactured in plant A and Standard price (3 S) is maintained for this material. In plant B, 2 V is maintained for this material and no excise credit is taken here. Now when i am returning unsuitable material back to plant A, there is a price difference, due to which plant A is unable to take the credit.
Is there is any process so that same material cost is picked in sto when we are returning material to plant A

In manufacturing plant Sales price is maintained as Standard price in Z-table , which is material cost + manufacturing cost. On this cost material is inward to plant B. But when material is returned back, MAP is assigned in STO, which is material Cost. The issue is due to different valuation areas at plant level in the same company. 
Is there is some process to link the original STO with Return STO as discount issue does not match the prices.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Price difference account posting for return of goods using MR11

    HI SAP Expert
    When we are running MR11 for goods receipt transaction system is posting reversal document to price difference account instead of inventory account.
    In this case relevant details are :-
    Price control for Material is S .
    PO QTY 190( Purchase order is of M category with sales order linked)
    GR qty 190
    IR qty 20
    Return Qty (ACCM) using MR11 :-170
    PO price :-84.74
    Standard price : 81.99
    GR price :-84.74
    When a document is posted using MR11 for reversing goods it has posted value : 14,405.80(170*84.74) to price difference account instead of material account. What could be reason for system behaviour.
    With Regards

  • T-stock price differences were not distributed by Material ledger

    Dear All,
    We have configured T-stock (Stock in transit) for movement types 601,921 in t-code OMJJ and have assigned this movements types to movement type groups of material ledger in  spro: Controlling -Product Cost Controlling -Actual Costing/Material Ledger -Material Update -Assign Movement Type Groups of Material Ledger. We use movement type group  CF with revaluation of G/L account and CO account assignment .
    Than we have performed operations with T-stock movement types.
    However, in ckm3 we don't see any G/L account in consumption line. In ML document there are no movement type group CF
    During actual costing run (t-code ckmlcp) system requires COC.
    We have analysed CKMLMV005 table data. For movements types with T-stock system puts V_REST in field User-def.name.
    And there are no G/L account.
    How can we solve this issue?
    With best regards,
    Kamila.

    Hi Kamila,
    SIT supports the revaluation to the original account.
    Please check if the ML document has not updated the
    movement type group CF, hence the revaluation of consumption points
    to the COC account.
    Therefore, there are two possible reasons for the revaluation going
    to COC in the example:
    1. The 601 T movement was posted before the customizing was carried out.
    2. The customizing is incomplete for the Revaluation of consumption in transaction OMX0.
    For instance if currently, there is one entry for 601 T:
    601 T L E -> CF
    Please, try to include additional entries for 601T:
    601 T     -> CF
    601 T L   -> CF
    601 T   E -> CF
    Please, try this in a test system, post the 601 T movement afterwards
    and check the results.
    Best regards,

    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

  • Profit segment okb9 price difference

    Dear Forum,
    I have price difference account maintained in okb9 with a tick at profit segment.
    I test to post this price difference account in FB01 and i can see it gets posted in COPA price difference value field.
    My question is, how does the system know this account need to update in COPa price difference value field? Even with a tick at okb9 prfseg, still how can the system know which value field to post to in COPA?
    Need forum help of which tcode i can see the mapping as besides price difference account, also got other account with a tick at prfseg in okb9.
    Thank you.

    Dear,
    Thanks. I found it in kei2.
    In assignment lines, I can see a list of assignment with number. For price difference, it is assignment 287  But I would like to know how does the system know 287 is price difference? The system will go through each assignment lines and its source to check the account group, if gl account in the group then it will assign to value field? If this is the case, then assignment number 287 has no meaning to system?
    Thanks

  • Reg:- Price difference

    Dear All
    In purchase order we maintained the exchange rate of 88.1 (Exchange rate Check box was not ticked) and the Po was in Currency GBP. When Migo was done with the exchange rate was 79.00 and while doing Miro the exchange rate was 81. So there is a rate difference of Rs 1. But now my question was this difference exchange rate is ¾ amount is posted to Material account and ¼ was posted to Prd Account.
    As per my knowledge if my material price control is V the entire amount of price difference should be posted to material account but why it is posting ¾ to material account and ¼ to prd account. Is there any configuration changes to be made?
    Please help regarding this and maximum points will be awarded for helpful answer.
    Regards
    Edited by: vinay bhaskar on Mar 12, 2008 11:54 AM

    Hi Vinay,
    The settings will remain same. But the thing is when you do MIRO if there is price variance( normal or ex rate diff) then the system will auto check the availability of the quantity of that material involved. If there is suffcient quantity to the extent of MIRO quantity then it will post to the inventory account otherwise it will post proportionate value to inv account to the extent it is available.
    It seems in your case before you post miro.... 25% of the quantity is already consumed to order or cost center, whatever so and hence the posting happened to prd account to the extent of 25%...
    Hope this clarifies.

    Hello!
            For Material Movement with price difference, i find that most of the transactions posted in reply to this thread do not allow us to enter the amount externally.
            You can use movement type 521 for posting a movement with price difference, by first issuing the material to the cost center and then receiving it by T. Code MIGO ->Goods Reciept -> Others and movement type 521.
            If you find this helpful, please reward me with points!

  • How to deal with the product price difference g/l account

    Hi:
    When I went to the transaction fs10n to look at the g/l account 281500(gain from own product price differences) and I found there has 40 EUR in credit column,then the cumulative balance is credit 40 EUR,obviously this 40 EUR credit is due to the difference between order price and invoice price. My question is how to deal with it?

    The Finance department needs to coordinate it with the Purchasing on the correct price. If the invoice price is the correct one, then there is a need to recognize the difference as per accounting standard. If in case that the order price is the correct one, they should inform the Vendor about it and once the Debit or Credit note is received, you just need to post it as "subsequent debit or credit" the amount will offset to this price difference.

  • 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.

  • While posting MIRO price difference account is not determimg for price vari

    Hi Sapients,
    Please solve the production issue which we have faced yesterday while doing month end closing
    In one P.O 4 items are there,User has posted entries in below sequence
    Material type is TRADING GOODS
    1)first MIRO with QTY 10 @100$ each,Later
    2)MIGO has done with QTY 10 @100$
    Raw Material account -
    1000$
    to GR/IR CLEARING ACCOUNT -
    1000$
    2)User has reverse the MIRO transaction with QTY 10 @ 100$ each.(with refer to step1)
    3)Finally he post MIRO with QTY 10 @ 90$ each, so here ther is no qty variance has come only price variance has come, so when posting the difference is not going to price difference and the entry is paasing like this
    GR/IR CLEARING ACCOUNT -
    900$
    TO Vendor 900$
    If u see in step 2 GR/IR having 1000$, but in step 3 while MIRO posting GR/IR as 900$ so for the remaing balance 100$ not going to price variance .I Belive the entry in step will be like this
    GR/IR CLEARING ACCOUNT -
    1000$
    TO Vendor 900$
    TO Price difference 100$.
    Kindly give solution why it is not going to price difference it was happening only for item 2 & 3 only for 40 iem it is posting correctly to price difference account.Please advice me why system behavig differently for each item.
    Thanks & Regards

    Hi Padmasri,
    Thanks for your explanation. Ok. if the price is maintained in S, does that mean the price difference would get posted only to PRD. In other words, if price indicator is V, is that the only time when the price difference gets posted to stock account. In case if there is no sufficient stock or if there is negative stock at that time, that's when the amount would get posted to stock loss or gain account. Please suggest if I've understood the concept right.
    Hi,
    The PRD will trigger when the standard price maintained in the material mater record is different from the price in MIGO . The other chance is the material is maintained with MAP and MIRO done before GR ,The value of the quntity (not available in stock )
    will get posted to PRD. I hope this will resolve your issue. Thanking you
    You had suggested: The other chance is the material is maintained with MAP and MIRO done before GR ,The value of the quntity (not available in stock ) will get posted to PRD. I hope this will resolve your issue.
    You are right: I forgot to mention that the price indicator is V. The other point is we purchase the materials from an internal vendor, as and when the materials are dispatched from the main storehouse in Sri Lanka, there is an advice that is created in the system and that is interfaced and parked in the system. However, normally until the GR is done IV will not happen. But there could be a chance, as the advice gets created within 24 hours. However the material to reach the godown in our warehouse will take more than 24 hours as the goods have to be shipped from SL, so IV is possible before GR.

  • Quantity & price  difference between purchase order and goods receipt

    kindly note that depending on the Moving average or standard price (price control flag in mm01) the difference will either get adjusted with the material or to the price difference account accordingly.
    in the example for standard price
             gr for po :10 bags @ 11
