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

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.

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.

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.

PO Invoice ..blocked due to Price Variance

Hi
I would like to know that how we can create a PO invoice if Purchasing document already exists. I would like to craeate this invoice such a way that it should have the price variance. Also how this invoice gets blocked and when we can unblock this. What all Tables are updated during this whole process?
Also if any one could provide me documents on PO invoices where in the general business process is explained in layman's term then it would be a great help.
Thanks in advance,
Jigar Shah.

Dear Jigar,
It purely depends on the tolerances configured. If the price difference is more than the tolerance configured, the invoice gets blocked. The blocked invoices are available in the table RBKP_BLOCKED.
There are two ways to remove the blocks, both using transaction MRBR
These are:
Manually, by indicating which block or blocks are to
be removed
Automatically, by running MRBR with the automatic
In order to get familiarise with MM related transactions, it is recommended to visit sites like the one given below. This is purely MM related query. I have tried to answer it and I am open to correction, if any.

Price variance workflow for blocked invoices in MM purchasing

Hi Gurus,
We are implementing price variance workflow for blocked invoices. We built a custom workflow to
take care of the routing requirement of the customer.
We also did necessary customization defining the tolerance limits for price variance. Before testing the workflow wanted to check events in SWEL and its is found that system doesn't raise any event for price/ quantity block and hence the workflow is not triggered at all.
Event trace active flag is set in SWELS. I am not able to figure out what we are missing.The invoice gets created correctly with the price/quantity blocks and blocked invoices are available when we see in Tcode 'MRBR'.
Any suggestion will be highly appreciated.
Edited by: srinivas bejjanki on Jan 29, 2009 10:34 PM

Hello,
So you are absolutely sure the event trace is on. If you try SWUE with some other event, you see the entry in SWEL, dated a few minutes ago, correct?
When you try SWUE with BUS2081.BlockedPrice does it give any message?
Does SWUE work with any other BUS2081 event?

Invoice Block due to price variance

Dear Friends,
In invoice verification I have configured invoice block for price variance (PP).
I have mentioned upper limit as 5%.
PO---100
GRN---100
Invoice---120
I have made this as warning message. I want this should not be open for payment before releasing in MRBR. After posting the document in MIRO it shows that invoice is blocked for payment. The payment bock indicator in payment tab in MIRO shows as "R"--Invoice verificatin.
But system allows this document for payment to be done both in f-58 & f-53.
So please tell me how to stop payment to be done before releasing it in MRBR.
Regards
R Panda

Hi
I think you may be missing some settings in FI, thats the reason it is allowing to pay the invoice whcih are blocked for payment.
Please check with your FI consultant

Invoice Block - Price Variance (PP)

Hi Folks,
I have a question in Invoice block for Price variance (PP)
I have maintained the following upper limits
Absolute
Check limit
Value - 5
Percentage
Check limit
5%
I am creating PO for 1MT with a price of 4,720 INR, i have done GR
Now Invoice price is 4,920 INR.
Since i have checked both absolute and percentage limit, i presumne it should check the lowest of the both.
In my case the lowest of the both is 4,725, however system is not blocking the invoice at 4,920.
Can you let me why this is not happening.

Raghavendra

Hi Folks,
Request to provide inputs in this issue.

Invoice blocked for price variance or quantity variance

Dear friends,
In case if in the PO, either there is a price difference between GR and IR or a quantity difference between GR and IR, then does the invoice posted stays automatically in a "blocked" status??
If not, then can we manually do some configuration to make this possible? The intention is that such invoices(with price variance or quantity variance) should remain in blocked status and should not be picked for payment in F110 run.
Please advise asap.
Rgds,
Kunal Vichare.

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

Asset PO Price Variance posting w/out asset account assignmt to wrong acct

We're bringing up fixed assets and are struggling with the account assignment behind PO Invoice receipt (MIRO) and price differences. At the moment, the PO is A account assigned and has the standard SAP settings except that the GR is valuated and the account assignment indicator is single instead of multiple. When we process MIRO, if there's a price difference, it hits the table 30 account assignment for the DIF trxn key.
We have 2 issues.
1. The account behind DIF is used for normal merchandise purchasing which isn't account assigned and doesn't reflect the GL account for the asset class.
2. The asset number is not being passed to the price variance posting (this could be a result of the GL account config since our normal merchandise purchasing doesn't carry a WBS).
We have an additional wrinkle in that we do a shadow posting to a WBS element as well as the asset number in MIRO. It seems to work fine so long as we don't have a price variance.
From reading documentation, it appears the price variance should be posting to the asset so we appear to have mis-configured something. I'm hoping it's not the valuated GR as we have a business requirement to show the value of the item when we receive it. In any case, we can't figure out what we're missing. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
thanks for your time and help.
