Is it possible to maintain moving average price u201CVu201Dfor HALB & Costing ?

Dear Gurus,
is it possible to maintain moving average price u201CVu201Dfor HALB Material which can procured from vendor & produced from plant in-house & costing the same ?
Kindly help

1. Yes, you can have price control as "V" for HALB material.
2. Split valuation is required to be maintained, if you want to use the same HALB material for procurement as well as inhouse production.
3. You can have standard cost estimates with price control as "V'. But, the same is not recommended by SAP. It can give a wrong picture in scenarios like settlement of a production order having GR quantity more than the Stock quantity.

Moving average price of subcontracted material not picked for Cost estimation

Hi Experts
I have the below scenario:
Finshed Product A has components B, C.
C is a subcontacted material and it has its own BOM with components D & E.
We are maintaining moving average price for the subcontracted material C, (because the subcontracter is adding X & Y in addtion to the components D and E, which are sent from us).
In the mateial maste of C, Procurement type is F and Spl. procurement type 30 are maintained.
When i do costing for the Finished product A, moving average price of C is not picked up (where as system calculates the std cost for C by adding the values of D & E and purchase info record price).
Is there any way to Calculate Price of A by using the mvg avg price of C.
I maintained the below valuation variant settings.
If i remove the spl. procurement type 30 in the material master of C, it picks up the mvg. avg price. but it affects the MRP planning of items D & E.
Please advice.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Bala

Hi Big choi
Thanks for your response.
I understand.
1. if we maintain spl. procureent key 30, system calculates standard cost based on raw material and service charges.
2. If we don't maintain spl. proc key, it considers the material as purchased and picks the mvg avg price from material.
But, is there any way to pick the moving avg price from material master eventhough i maintained the spl. procurement type 30?
Thanks

Moving average price for semi finished products

Hi
Could anyone light on this issue,
Our client maintain moving average price for the semi finished material, need clarification on below points
1) What is the advantages and disadvantages due moving average price,
2) Which price in the material master after the production order settlement,
3) Is there any impact of this on WIP calcaultions
Thanks in advance
Mohan M

Hi
there are no advantages of it, ONLY Dis Advantages!!!
That will ruin your inventory valuation forever.. Consider the eg below if your price control is V
1. Your moving price in mat master is 100 USD
2. You Mfr on Jan 1 @ Actual cost = 110 in Prod order and Qty = 1.
Upon GR, GR will happen @ 100 and at period end if Qty is lying in stock, 10 variance will also be inventorized
BUT, now consider this
1. 1. Your moving price in mat master is 100 USD
2. You Mfr on Jan 1 @ Actual cost = 110 in Prod order and Qty = 1.
Upon GR, GR will happen @ 100 and variance lying is 10 in prod order
3. You Mfr on Jan 10 @ Actual cost = 110 in Prod order and Qty = 1.
Upon GR, GR will happen @ 100 and variance lying is 10 in prod order
4. On jan 15, you consume Qty 1 and qty lying in stock is 1
5. In period end, when you do settlement, following will happen
a. For prod order 1: Qty Mfd 1 and Qty lying in stock 1 - Result: variance 10 will be inventorized.
Mvg Avg price will shoot upto 110
b. For prod order 2: Qty Mfd 1 and Qty lying in stock 1 - Result: variance 10 will be inventorized.
Mvg Avg price (MAP) will shoot upto 120
System wont check whether the qty lying in stock pertains to prod order 1 or 2... It will simply check if the Qty of prod order matches with qty lying in stock. hence, it will keep on inventorizing variance in this case.... and your MAP will touch the sky

Moving Average Price tolerances for intercompany transfers

We are looking to utilize the tolerance limit settings for GR's to prevent entry mistakes from affecting moving average prices severly. I have sucessfully tested this process by triggering a warning/error message at the time of a goods receipt, but have been unable to trigger a warning/error for intercompany transfers.
Is this configuration in the OMC0 settings, in config, or somewhere else?
Thanks very much for any feedback.
Matt

HI Jurgen,
Thanks for your reply.
1. We have maintained the price control as V
2. You have mentioned "However it is as well possible to enter an external value in the movement (if enabled in customizing). then the movement is valuated with this value and the MAP in material master is adjusted."
Where to checl in IMG for the above ?
3. We did goods issue in the previous period 12/2011 but doing the GR in current period 01/2012. Do we need to maintain MAP for both the periods ?
If you can please tell us what is the standard process to carry out such activity ?

Moving Average Price for Non-Valuated Material

Hello Experts
The question may seem to be quirky but need your advice for the below.
My client is buying non-valuated material against a cost center, they do not want to keep the stocks valuated. No value update only quantity update. The accounting documents are the following when the GR is done by receiving folks
Qty of material XYZ goods receipted = 10
Debit     Consumption GL   12345678       10 USD          Cost Center ABC123 (This is a warehouse cost center)
Credit    GR/IR account                            10 USD
Qty of mateiral XYZ issued = 5
The goods are later on issued to Production cost center and the client was the below entries to be passed with MOVING AVERAGE PRICE.
Debit    Consumption GL 12345678           6 USD          Cost Center ABC456 (This is production Cost center)
Credit   Consumption GL 12345678           6 USD          Cost Center ABC123 (This is warehouse cost center)
I am aware that as this is a non valuated material the above entry is not possible. Maybe, I will use BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST for the generating the accounting document when the goods are issued from warehosue to production center.
My question is how can i get the moving average price.
Regards
Chokkalingam Pillai

you can have an accounting view for non-valuated materials, this helps for example with purchase requisitions as they could take the valuation price from the material master and the user does not need to enter a valuation manually.
But the material master moving average price cannot be calculated and updated automatically, as it is not foreseen in any standard program to do this for cost center procurement, since SAP only calculates a MAP for valuated stocks.
Further it is not logical to issue non-valuated stock valuated (even with a different price) from cost center to cost center.
It looks like you want to have a kind of internal billing for warehouse services, as you end up with a negative amount in the warehouse cost center which is then the profit.
Why don't you just create a report to run at the end of the month, listing all goods issue movements with their cost centers and taking the price from last PO (or from material master if you decide to maintain it manually) and use this for a manual cost center posting in CO module

MM02-Moving Average price field

i created material in moving average price but that time i am unable to maintain price for this material, after save the material master i am unable to give the price for this material
How to set the price field is optional in MM02 T.code or possible in any other way? after save material w/o price

When a material is subject to moving average price control, the system calculates values for goods movements in the following way:
Quantity(new) = Quantity (old) + Quantity (receipt)
Value (new) = Value(old) + Quantity (receipt) + (Price (receipt) / Price Unit (receipt))
Price (new) = (Value (new) / Quanitity (new)) * Price unit (material master)

Moving Average Price for Material in Dual Currencies

Does a report exist that will display the Moving Average Price of a material using split valuation in more than one currency? For example: Part Number '12345' Qty 10, Moving Average Price (EUR), Moving Average Price (USD), Total Value (EUR), Total Value (USD).

Hi
It is not possible to maintain the material master accounting view in two different currencies. you will have to activate the material ledger for this.

Moving Average price & Std price

Hai friends,
Any body tell me the difference bet Moving Avg Price & Std Price...
Actually why we are entering the Std or MAP in Material master..
What is the Impact in PO...
Thanks
Ros

Hello Roshan,
Difference bet Moving Avg Price & Std Price...
Material price in Material master is represented by Material price Indicator, The main purpose of material price is to valuated the material stock for financial transaction in company. There are two procedures available in the standard system:
Valuation at standard price : The price is decided by the organization (Costing / Finance / Purchasing / Marketing dept) which is fixed for material, it will not be changed by any inventory or financial transaction, but you can change it with special price change procedure.
This std price is represented with price indicator S
Valuation using a standard price has the following features:
- All inventory postings are carried out at the standard price
- Variances are posted to price difference accounts
- Variances are updated
- Price changes can be monitored
Valuation at moving average price or (if the material ledger has been activated) periodic unit price : This price is not decided by any organization (but in come case it will decide i.e. to upload the initial stock) but it will automatically updated by the Invnetory transactions (i.e. Goods receipt, Invoice receipt) or financial transaction (Debit/credit material). It will keep changes automatically when there is price difference.
This MAP is represented with price indicator V
Valuation using a moving average price results in the following:
- Goods receipts are posted at the goods receipt value.
- The price in the material master is adjusted to the delivered price.
- Price differences occur only in exceptional circumstances.
- Manual price changes are usually unnecessary. However, they are possible.
Actually why we are entering the Std or MAP in Material master..
We are maintaining material price for material stock valuation and inventory transaction valuation.
What is the Impact in PO...
The material price does not have impact on PO, but definately it has impact on inventory transactions i.e. GR, GI, IR debit/credit material.

Refurbishment WO - exclude moving average price from WO's costs

Hello Experts,
We have following problem. In refurbishment WO costs contains also moving average price of component which is under refurbishment.
From our point of view it is not proper since such a costs are not costs of repair.
We would like to exclude moving average price of component which is refurbished (moved to REPI storage location).
In SPRO there is only a possibility to exclude costs from WO which are assigned to particular cost elements or their group but it is not a case here, since we cannot assign all repairable materials to cost elements group defined in advance.
Do you have any idea how to do that?
Regards:
Łukasz Kurlit

Hi ,
In MM for split valulated material we can maintain cost /stock for each valution type of the material ..if a material has valuation V1,V2,V3 .. new material is bought at V1 valuation price and after usage it is valuated to V3 and then refurbished to V2 .. now for V1&V3 you can maintain Standard price or Moving average price as per MM02 accounting tab by changing the price control in that tab and maintaing price unit .. but for V2 i think we should have Moving Average Price because everytime refubishment takes place at different refurbishment costs .. finally you need to follow as per your clients requirement ..

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...

Updation of Moving Average Price

Dear Experts,
My MM period is open for 2 months (i.e for July and August Now) . One of our raw material is Limestone.
From July 1st there were several Receipts and Issues of limestone in SAP.
In August 9th our survey team found that in our stock we have 25000 TON limestone excess. (Due to Callibiration error)
i.e If the current stock in system was 10000 TON the real Physical stock in storage was 10000 + 25000 TON.
We have created a Free of Cost PO for 25000 TON to account the excess quantity of Limestone in Stock.
MIGO Goods Receipt for the Free of Cost PO was done on 31.07.2011.
Because of the extra 25000 TON Free of Cost Limestone Receipt the Moving Average Price of the Material got Updated. (But only from 09-August-2011 not from 31-July-2011)
I want system to calculate the new moving average price and update all the documents posted from 31-July-2011. MY MM period is not closed.
Is it possible to do so and how. Please Help.
Thanks

Hi
The physical inventory is carried out on the basis of stock management units.A stock management unit is a non-divisible part of a stock of materials for which a seperate book inventory exists.A stock management unit is uniquely defined by
Material
Plant,storage location
Stock type
Batch
Special Stock
Each stock management unit of a material is counted seperately,and the inventory diffreneces are posted per stock management unit.
The physical inventory process comprises three phases
1)Creation of physical inventory documents(MI01)
2)Entry of Count(MI04)
3)Posting the difference(MI07)
1)In the first phase ,you create the physical inventory documents.SAP systems provide several procedures for mass-generation of PI documents.After selecting the stocks to be counted and creating the PI documents,you print out the documents in order to start the counting process.A physical inventory document cotains data that include
>The plant and storage location in which the count has to take place
>The date on which the count has to take place
>The materials to be counted
>the stock types to be counted
>The status of the item
>The status of the PI document
When creating a PI document,you can specify a physical inventory nuber in the document header.This physical inventory number facilitates selection of the PI documents to be processed during entry of the count data,posting the diffrences, and in evaluations.
2)Entering the physical inventory count:For the physical inventory count,you must print out the PI document and forward it to persons responsible for the count.You can enter the stock figures in the system with and without reference to a PI document.When entering the physical inventory count,you can enter a percentage variance of the count quantity from the book inventory,above which the system issues a warning message.
3)You can post the inventory diffrences either via list of differences or via seperate transactions.When an inventory difference is posted,the system creates a material document and corrects the stock figures,and an accounting document recording the necessary accounting movements.
Hope this will be helpful for you.

Moving Average Price for Batch Maintenance

Hi Experts,
      I've created material of which stock is maintain in batch (Valuation category = X & Price Control = V).
    Due to batch wise stock, system calculates the moving average price for different batches.
    Can we calculate moving average price at plant level inspite of maintaining material batch wise?
   Is there any other way by defining multiple storage bins for that material so that I can see the stock value differently with single moving average price value?
   Thanks.
                                               Naimish.

In MM03, you get the overall MAP for all batches of the material at plant level without mentioning valuation type in org. level. When specific valuation type is given, you can see its MAP / std price.
Hope this clears the doubt.

SAmeer

here new moving average which systems shows for material 'A' is 2.77
please explain why system shows new moving aveage price as 2.77, also why is not considering old values to calculate MAP(stock already present )
Also please explain what could be the possible reason for this error.

moving average price changed drastically

Moving average price has become Zero

Hi,
Can you please help us , if you have any ...this kind of situation in your projects.
Scenerio:
We are using Workflow mechanism for creation material in Master data client
01. After creation of Material, it will go for approval (to six departments in SAP Itself ) and after their approvals,it will be moved to "Book of Records"( to Transactional client)
02.If the requester is submit the Material for approvals, it will create IDOC and will be moved to "Book of Records"( to Transactional client).
03.If any error is there in the Material views, IDOC will be failed in Outbond system( Transactional client)
in this case.We use BD10 to move the changes manually.
Problem is,
01.We moved manually 10 materials on 29/10/2008 through BD10 to Transactional client .in this case, we observed that, the moving average price(VERPR) ,Commercial price 2 (BWPH1),and Moving average price (if the price control is S) (SALKV) has become Zero.
Why ?
Why this 3 fields become Zero ?
Is there any link between these fields and How ?
Note: Price control "S" is maintained to the above all the materials.
Can any body help us to find out the reason ?
*What is the solution to find the Moving average price now and to update as on date ?
Is there any field , we can see the Moving average price in backend ?*
Your help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks for your answers, But..
There is a problem that we are supporting to China and they have a local ledger and they will calculate the actual costing based on tha moving price.Now these 10 Materials are Finished goods and are available in 30 plants each.
Taking the MAP from the each plant and calucating it ... is very problem and headache Job .
My question is ....
How it got deleted and why ?
Is there any relation between these three fileds ?
Easiest way of collecting the MAP ?
Any thought will get the appreciation..
Thanks
