Is variance account needed for moving average item valuation?

Hi All,
My client is currently using SAPB1 ver.2005 and upgrade from ver.2004.
After upgrade, in ver.2005, they want to add A/P credit memo that is copied from A/P invoice they have created earlier in ver.2004.
When they tried to do that, system prompt an error message saying "Inventory account is not defined, 'item code' (message 173-77).
So I defined a variance account in G/L account determination, under purchase tab.
G/L Determination -> Purchase Tab -> Expense and Inventory Account.
Therefore, what is the cause of this as they never encounter this in ver.2004. They didn't change anything in the G/L determination as well.
Please help..
Regards,
Kevin

Hi Wilma,
Yes, i have tried both scenarios, the JE i've got are the same with what you have got. But could you explain for scenario 2? Why when you do GRN is MYR 110 and in A/P Credit Memo is MYR 100, But in JE is still
Dr Vendor MYR100
Cr Stock MYR100
Dr Purchase Offset MYR100
Cr Purchase Return MYR100
Shouldn't there be a difference capture of MYR10 to be debited to variance account?
Ok, Can you try this scenario
GRN - A001 MYR110 x 100 units
A/P Credit Memo MYR100 x 1 unit
The JE of the A/P Credit Memo is like the above.
After that, you do another A/P Credit Memo,
A/P Credit Memo MYR100 x 99 units,
My JE
Dr Vendor MYR 9900
Dr Price Difference MYR 1000
Cr Stock MYR 10900
Is this what you get? If yes, could you explain why?
Regards,
Kevin

  • Wrong cost allocated for the Moving Average item

    Dear Experts,
    Please see this inventory audit report.. Wrong cost allocated for the Moving Average item
    [screenshot here|http://www.flickr.com/photos/45736280@N07/4347146537/sizes/o/]
    Please help advice why.
    Warmest Regards,
    Chinho

    Oh yes, István is totally correct. I realized I had gotten my definition of Moving Average calculation wrong.
    The actual moving average cost price is actually calculated in the background after each purchase. The cost price shown on the screen for each purchase is simply the cost price in the purchase document.
    At the point of each purchase, the Moving Average price is updated as:
    Actual moving average price = (Last total cumulative value + current purchase trans value) / (Last Cumulative Qty + current purchase qty)
    Hope it helps and Thanks guys for the advice!

  • Tolerance for moving average price.

    Hi Gurus,
                I'd like to know if we can set a tolerance limit for moving average price.I'm not sure about the settings but I think ther should be a way of doing this. I'd really appreciate any suggestions.
    Thanks
    Cheris T

    Cheris,
    You can use the tolerance key VP (defined for each company code) to control the percentage variance for changes to the MAP of a material during a goods receipt or an invoice posting. Typically, this is set to a large value.
    You can define these tolerances in OMC0 for a goods receipt (as PVS suggested) or OMR6 for an invoice posting.
    Hope this helps.

  • Moving Average inventory valuation using DI?

    Hi, all,
    I need to make Moving Average inventory valuation.
    Does anyone know how can i do it using DI?
    Do you have any solution to solve this problem?
    Your suggestions would much be appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Andy

    Hi Andy,
    The DI has no object to do valuations. Thus you can not achieve this using the DI.
    You can however automate the process using the UI API.
    (Automate selections and clicks etc.)

  • System posts to PRD account for moving average price material.

    Hi,
    We are procuring spare parts (ERSA) externally, which is having price control as MAP.  While doing GR, system shows message "Account 602042 required an assignment to a CO object."  Here the problem is account 602042 is a price difference (PRD) account.  Why should system ask for a G/L, which is mentioned in PRD in this case. 
    Please note that this is first movement for the material and stock is zero in plant.  There are no  material documents for this material.
    Please suggest.
    Regards
    Alex

    If ML is active, then this can happen.  Please see note  532932  FAQ: Valuation logic with active material ledger.
    material is valuated by the inventory management similarly to the posting logic of a material managed by a standard price. The accounting document generated by the inventory management shows this posting logic; the amount posted in the material document corresponds to the product from quantity and moving average price and not to the externally assigned value.
    Generated accounting lines of the material ledger (depending on the material ledger settlement control) then valuate the stock.
    Example:
    Material: Testmat 1
    Price control: V
    Moving average price: 10 EUR/PC
    Purchase Order: 10 PCS for 150 EUR
      > goods receipt for the purchase order for 10 PCS
    Acctg documents:
    1) GR document:
       BSX 100 EUR D
       WRX 150 EUR C
       PRD 50 EUR D
    2) ML document:
       BSX 50 EUR D
       PRY 50 EUR C

  • Err: No WIP Variance Account exists for item, when closing Production Order

    I'm sure the 'WIP Inventory Variance Account' property had been set for the Warehouse of the Production Order.
    But I can not update this Production Order from 'Release' to 'Closed' status.
    Pls help me out.
    thanks.

    Hi,
    Can you confirm whether the,for the item involved, has checkbox 'Manage Inventory by Warehouse' marked or not under the Inventory tab of the item master data?
    Check in COPY of the database, by defining the WIP Variance Account for all the Warehouses for the Item involved and check whether you can not set the status of the Production Order to Close.

  • SD Account determination for business partner items

    Hi All!
    I need to understand how does the account determination works for business partner items. I know that al trx VKOA is where I can customize the account that is gonna be used at the GL items, but I can't find where is the customizing of the accounts for the business partner items. Could you help me?
    Thanks in advance!
    Fred

    Hi
    When you create a billing document (trx VF01) in SD, you can then go to trx FPE3 and the this document from a finantial point of view.
    In trx FPE3 you will see the ducument splited in two parts, the business partner items and the GL items. If you doble click over any line of the GL items (excluding taxes) you will see more information about this line and one of it is the GL account. This account is set via trx VKOA.
    Going back, if you doble click over any line of the Business partner items, you will see more information about this line and one of it is the GL account. But in this case I don't know where it should be customized.
    I hope I was clear enoght.

  • Post Processing array for moving average

    Greetings. Hope someone out there can help me on this. I have read all the posts I could find about doing a moving average and they all had to do with performing it as the data is being acquired. Unfortunately, I can't do that. I am getting the data from a digital high speed power meter and it is read in from a buffer as a huge string that I then change into an array of data. I need to do a moving average on the data very bad and the indexing is driving me crazy. I can't figure it out. Assume that my data array is 100 elements and I want to do a moving average of 5: 0,1,2,3,4 elements are averaged and become element zero of a new array.... 1,2,3,4,5 are averaged and becomes element 1 of the new array. I would end up with a 1D new
    array of 96 elements in the above example. Hope that is clear enough. Thanks in advance for any help you guys can give.

    Solving the problem of reduction in number of points can as I mentioned in an earlier answer be solved in a number of ways...you could pad the end or start with a repetition of the last whole window, or you can make the window gradually grow to its full size. The latter is illustrated in the attached VI...

  • Numbers 3.1 restricting the period for moving average trend lines

    Numbers 3.1 is restricting the period I can specify for a moving average trend line for a scatter plot series. The max is 6. This limitation was not present in the previous version of Numbers.
    Charts imported from the previous version retain larger periods, but there is no way I can see to specify periods >6 for any new series. Is there a way to allow a period >6? That is clearly necessary for many applications.
    Thanks.

    Hi Bill,
    Numbers 3.1
    If you want a 14 day moving average over the prior 14 days, the formula in C10 is
    =AVERAGE(B2:B15) (and Fill Down)
    The formula will eventually run out of cells. Hence the red error triangles.
    Plotting columns A, B and C:
    X axis is Day (column A)
    Blue circles and blue line are Actual Y (column B and as expected, they jump around).
    Black circles and black line are calculated moving averages on a 14 day period (column C)
    Red line is Numbers Trendline (Moving Average, Period 6). How it predicts into the future (Moving Average over 6 days) I have no idea.
    I would more trust a calculated moving average, because I know what it is calculating.
    Regards,
    Ian.

  • Report for moving average price

    Hi guys
    Is there any report in MM which shows me different Moving average prices for a material (scenario is price changes very often for the material in PO)
    Thanks

    I do not think you will have such data stored in the system but you could pull the data for the current period, previous period and previous year from table MBEW. This much possible.

  • Accounting Entries for Stockable Expense Item

    Hi all
    I have set an item as being expensed, inventoried, stockable and
    transactable.
    When I do a purchase order and a receipt on the item I get the accounting
    transactions for the receipt part (debit receiving inv account and credit
    inv AP accrual). However, there is no transaction on the deliver part
    (normally debit the expense account and credit the receiving inv account).
    If the item is set as non inventoried I get the accounting entries for
    receipt and deliver.
    I believe that we should be able to set an item as expense and stockable and
    get the appropriate entries in Oracle Purchasing. What could be the problem?
    Thank you.

  • Moving average price valuation across plants

    Hi gurus.
    Could anybody help to resolve the problem?
    We need to valuate Moving Average Price for Materials across plants.
    We use PP module and need to use Plant Valuation Levelu2026
    Does any  User-Exit exist which is called during valuation?
    Thanks & Regards,
    Igor

    1. Both the consumption & the closing valuation of the raw-materials will be at "V" (moving average price).
    2. When the materials are mantained at "V" (moving average price), there is NO price difference varaince. All the price difference flows to the material valuation itself.
    Hope this helps you.
