Thanks for your reply, but OBYC and OMWB are the same. from omwb we go to t.code obyc and many others. I have checked the account maintained in PRD.

Wrongly picking price variance account

Hi Experts,
I am trying to post the Invoice through MIRO related to stock. there is a bit price difference. Hence it is going to Price variance account. But the Account maintained for the valuation class of that material in OMWB is different from that being picked up while simulating invoice(MIRO). How is this possible. Is there any other setting from where it is picking up other account.

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

Purchase price variance account

Hi,
I have a purchase order created in 2007 and movements done in 2007.
I needed to reverse the GR, i created additional line items on the purchase order with returns flag. When i did GR it has hit a price varinace account.
If i do 102 against 101 does it hit a price variance account if the material value in MBEW table has changed.
Let me know your inputs here.
Thanks,
Regards
Raghavendra

Hi,
If there is a change in the MBEW table for the said item, then you will hit the price variance account, even if you do the reversal using 102.

GR posted to Price Variance account

Hi Experts,
I have a material whose price control indicator is "V", Moving price is $1, Total Stock is zero, Price Unit is 1, Standard price is 1, Total value is zero in material master.
I have created standard PO with two line items.
Line 10 is for the quantity of 1 PC at the rate of $100 per PC.
Line 20 is for the quantity of 1 PC at the rate of $100 per PC. Additionally line 20 is account assigned Q "Proj. make-to-order". No other differences.
I have posted GR for line 10. Accounting details are Stock account $100 and GR/IR clearing account $100.
I have posted GR for line 20. Accounting details are Stock account $1, GR/IR clearing account $100 and Price variance account $99.
Any guess why the system posted line 20 in price variance account?
Thanks,
Ranjith

Hi,
I have a material whose price control indicator is "V", Moving price is $1, Total Stock is zero, Price Unit is 1, Standard price is 1, Total value is zero in material master.
its indicate that you have two material code price control V and S but situation is that both material don't have stock and price is same 1$
Now when you do MIG) for second material which has price control S and Po price is 100$
means you have price difference of 99$ ( po price -Material price)
so it will price difference account and its SAP standard
check following sap link also with example

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

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:

Does Transfer Invoice Price Variance pro-rate for partial quantity ?

We were planning on using Transfer Invoice Price Variance to Inventory but unfortunately, we find when there's an IPV for quantity that's partly issued - the variance is not pro-rated but entirely applied to the remaining quantity.
Just wondering if this is desired functionality and if so, could we use SLA to ask the program to pro-rate the variance and for partial quantity, apply the pro-rated amount to the quantity remaining and the rest to the Cost Variance account.
Thanks,
Sanjib

TIPV to Inventory doesn't pro-rate for partial quantity.
It transfers the entire IPV to the remaining quantity.

List of invoices paid in accounts payable with corresponding expense GL

Hi,
Need to know whether there ia any standard report in SAP ECC 6.0 version where we can get the list of all invoices paid in a period in A/Pwith corresponding expense GL Account. IF we need to build report painter report or query any idea which tables will contain all these information. If any one is having functional specification document it will be of great help.
Regards,
Vipin

Hi,
- check in Easy Access->Accounting-> Fin Acctng->Accounts Payable-> Vendors:Items or Payment Transactions (like S_P99_41000099 or S_ALR_87012085 etc.,)
- relevant tables would be BSAK or BSEG

Inbound Invoices scenario for Account Payables..

Hi Experts,
    Right now iam working on a scenario of Inbound Invoices for Accounts payable. Here the invoices will be posted using FB60 transaction and the refund invoices are processed in SAP using the one-time vendor account group.
   Currently the interface is using the fields from the combination of the following tables: BSEG, BSEC, INVFO and ACGL_ITEM.
    Right now iam looking into the standard Invoice Idoc - INVOIC02 but iam unable to find the corresponding fields for the above mentioned tables. Am i checking the right Idoc..? for this scenario - if not just help me out in finding the suitable IDoc for this scenario.
    Please help me in this field mappings.
   Thanks in Advance.

Hi Seshu,
    Thanks for your response.
    Based on the message type(ACC_DOCUMENT) and Basic Idoc type (ACC_DOCUMENT03).
    I got 2 Function Modules and 2 process codes:
     1. FM: BAPI_IDOC_INPUT1 --> BAPI (Process Code)
                     - Inbound BAPI IDoc: Individual processing
     2. FM: BAPI_IDOC_INPUTP --> BAPP (Process Code)
                     - Inbound BAPI IDoc: Package Processing
    So, among these 2 which one to choose and how to choose.
    Pls. guide me on this too and thanks in advance.

Change the price variance account

Hi,
We have an issue here. When we do posting using MB1B, movement type 309 to transfer from 1 material A ($5.00) to another material B($4.00), there is a price variance $1.00 auto post to a GL account C, and the $5.00 and $4.00 will post to the stock account.
But currently we want to change this price variance GL account from account C to another account D.
Can anyone guide me how to do so?
Kindly please advise. Thank you.

Hi,
In OBYC for the transaction event key AUM, change the GL account.

Unplanned Delivery Costs and Price Variance - Account Determination

Hi,
I am facing the following issue:
My goal is to automatic post the unplanned delivery costs to an account depending on valuation class.
The account should be diferent from the one used in purchase (EIN) post but both values should affect the moving price.
Can we do that?
Thank you for your cooperation
Best Regards
João Fernandes

My take is that you can have or the other, not both.
You configure how the uplanned costs are handled, a) Distributed among invoice Items or b) to a different G/L line.
Path : SPRO>MM>LIV>Incoming Invoice
If you pick, the costs goes to the stock account.
If you pick B, the cost goes to a separate account but it will not affect the item price.
The account is defined in OBYC, for transaction UPF, and it is Valuation class independent.
Hope it helps

"Price difference" being journaled to "Variance Account"

Per the online help in B1 8.8, the "Price Difference Account" in the G/L Account Determination: Inventory Tab window "price differences between the base and target documents are recorded in this account."
When I create a Purchase Order for an item, then copy to an A/P Invoice and change the price, the difference between the PO price and the Invoice price is posted to the "Variance Account", not the "Price Difference Account", per the documentation. I have confirmed that the description of the "Variance Account" function is happening correctly, that is, when the price differs from the standard cost the difference is posted to the "Variance Account".
Can someone help with this?

Gordon,
I only put the "Variance Account" here for reference. My issue relates to the "Price Difference Account". Rather than a difference in price from Purchasing documents going to the "Price Difference Account", it is going to the "Variance Account".
This should be what is commonly called "Invoice Price Variance". The "Variance Account" is used for what is commonly called the "Purchase Price Variance". It appears in 8.8 that both variances are going to the same account even though documentation implies differently.
The following exerpt from the online documentation is not how the system is working:
"Price Difference Account
Used in purchasing transactions only. For certain scenarios, price differences between the base and target documents are recorded in this account."
To recreate this scenario (Invoice Price Variance),
1) Put two different accounts in "Administration | Setup | Financials | G/L Account Determination" on the inventory tab under "Variance Account" and "Price Difference Account."
2) Enter a Purchase Order for a Standard Cost Item enter a Qty of 1 and Price of $1,000.
3) Copy the Purchase Order to an Invoice and change the price to $900.
The journal entry that is created includes a $100 entry to the "Variance Account" set up above.
The alternate variance (Purchase Price Variance) can be recreated as follows:
1) Set the standard cost of an item to $1,000
2) Enter a Purchase Order for the Standard Cost Item enter a Qty of 1 and Price of $900.
3) Copy the Purchase Order to an Invoice and do not change the price.
The journal entry that is created includes a $100 entry to the "Variance Account" again.
These two scenarios should post to different accounts as described in the online help under G/L Account Determination.

Variances accounts - for Price variances

Hi,
I have a problem with deciding how many Price variance Accounts I should create.
There are 3 Production divisions and there are 3 types of PP orders.
Each PP order can create Finished Goods or SemiFinished Goods.
Should I create separate variance account for Finished Goods and separate variance account for Semi Finished Goods?
How can I assign these variances account (for settlement) to an order type, if one order type can do both FG and SFG. Maybe the PP order types should be divided into FG and SFG - so that there would be 6 PP order types?
What can you suggest me?
Best wishes,
Karol

Hi Karol
Create two production variance accounts for FG and SFG. These should not be created as cost elements and should have PRD PRF as account determination. You dont have to create as many variance accounts for each PP orde type
Create one more variance account - called Variances in production as cost element.
Order crated for a material and depending on the material type and valuation class assigned to material, different accounts will be hit
You assign PRD PRF for FG and SFG material valuation classes
Hope the above clarifies. Please assign points
