Purchase Credit Account Issue

Dear All,
I am using Perpetual inventory system. I want to know for what reason and in which situation Purchase Credit Account is used.

Hitesh Parsawala

Hi Hitesh
Sales credit account" is used as offset to "revenue account" when you post A/R Credit memo and Purchase credit account is used as offset to Vendor account when you post A/P credit memo. If no invoices has been generated , then system wouldn't ask for this acount while posting credit notes.

Purchase Credit account - when it will use?

Hi All,
Just being confused with Purchase Credit Account, when this account will be used? It is at Goods Return function? or AP Credit Note?
What account should be set for? COGS? Looking forward for correct answer, thanks.
Regards,
MH

Hi,
Purchase Credit Account is an expense account to be used as default when a credit transaction for purchasing is created, for example, an A/P credit memo.
This account defaults for new warehouses, item groups and item master data records creation.
The purchase credit account can be the same as the Expense Account, in case you do not wish to record credits to a separate account.
It is mandatory account for Initial Setup.

Enter a AP Credit Memo and check the JE for that by selecting an item which is Non Inventory.
Hope it would be clarified.

Price Difference Account being hit while making AP credit Memo

Hello Experts,
Price Difference Account is being hit while creating AP Credit Memo. I am creating an independent AP Credit Memo (i.e. without any base document). After posting A/P Credit Memo when I look at the Journal Entry it shows 99.43% of amount goes to Price Difference Account and the rest 0.57% goes to Stock account.
Help required please.
Thanks & Regards,
Edited by: Shahzad Nazir on Jan 19, 2011 5:54 PM

Hi Nazir,
This entry may have resulted because once you created the GRPO say for item A, the stock would have been consumed in production. And once you created Invoice and after that when you created credit memo, the system could not find the stock so it posted the difference in price difference account. Please run inventory posting list of the items in grpo to check the same.
Thanks,
Joseph

PO Invoice price difference handling - accounting issues

Hi,
I am working for a distribution company that is selling right away the goods it bought. Therefore we first receive the goods before creating a PO and then receive the invoices from our suppliers later on.
Very often, there are differences between the PO and Invoices and as per SAP standard configuration, any price differences between PO and invoice are booked straight into cost of sales while quantity differences are kept on balance sheet level. However, we would like to be able to treat the price and quantity differences the same way (i.e. on balance sheet level and so not directly in Cost of Goods Sold).
Do you know if there is a way to do so?
Also, we would like to be able to distinguish the different type of errors that resulted into differences between the PO and invoice, and create different type of errors in order later to make different reports and analyses the causes. Can we do that with the SAP MM and FI/CO functions? How?
Thank you in advance,
Regards,
Vic

Proceed with posting Invoice, System blocks the Invoice. You need to manually remove the block for further processing.

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.

Hi
If you deactivate the purchase account management then the accounts trigerred are
89 11430000 Inventory(BSX) 30117
95 12105000 GR/IR clearing(WRX) 32400
85 14804000 Price difference(PRD) 2898
50 12133000 Prov inbound frieght(FR1) 615
Is this Right.
As you have activated the Purcahse account managment they are trigerring in this ways
89 11430000 Inventory(BSX) 30117
95 12105000 GR/IR clearing(WRX) 32400
85 14804000 Price difference(PRD) 2898
50 12133000 Prov inbound frieght(FR1) 615
40 14800040 Purchase good for resale (EIN) 30117
50 14800041 Purchase good resale clearing(EKG) 30733
40 14800040 Purchase goods for resale(FRE) 615
I have just rearranged the lines, to show you that the sytem is triggering the accounts correctly and this is the way it should be rather than your calculations. I dont know how you have to come to that calculations. But WRX will alwayts trigger the amount what you have on the PO.
Thanks & regards

Price difference account settlement process at period end

Hi
Is there any procedure to settle the price difffrence account (P&L Account) at the month end/year end in FI.( for the material price difference araise on purchases, subcontracting etc)
How to settle, pls provide the steps?
regards,
maalik

Hi Malik,
Let me try to answer and get full point from you.
As you are aware, the purchase price differnece happens due to the invoice price change and the stock gets issued to the production. Thereby, the produciton under charged.
In Sap, the transaction key PRD without account modifier, takes care of this accounting entry. There is no necessity to settle in year end or month end.
I suggest you to catch these expenses in Purchase Department cost center as overhead and this purchase department cost gets included in General Overhead which will be charged either through Activity pricing or Cost sheet surcharge method.
Trust it will hep you or otherwise revert!
Cheers,

PRD-Auto Post price differences to different price difference accounts

Dear all,
As I know, in Account Automatic Posting, the transaction key PRD is for Cost price Difference.
If I want to post price differences to different price difference accounts in the case of goods receipts for different cost in purchase orders, How can I configure it?
Example, in PO, there is 2 costs: Freight (F) and Insurance(I) are key in as Condition Type.
I would like to post price difference from F to account XXX, and price difference from I to account YYY.
Can I configure like this?
Thank you very much for your support!

Hello,
What is price difference.
Price differences arise for materials valuated at standard price in the case of all movements and invoices with a value that differs from the standard price. Examples: goods receipts against purchase orders (if the PO price differs from the standard pricedardpreis), goods issues in respect of which an external amount is entered, invoices (if the invoice price differs from the PO price and the standard price).
Price difference in genereal will not trigger for the materials with price control V ( Moving average price) but however
Price differences can also arise in the case of materials with moving average price if there is not enough stock to cover the invoiced quantity. In the case of goods movements in the negative range, the moving average price is not changed. Instead, any price differences arising are posted to a price difference account
For you example, you have you are having PO with Freight (F) and Insurance(I), these are called pallned delivery costs, not Price difference,
so create two different condition type for Freight and insurance and assign two different G/L accounts for these condition types in account determination.
While posting system will hit perticular G/L acconut.

TS1646 I use and overseas credit card for purchases but Itunes is insisting on a credit card issued within NZ where I live.?

Why can I not use and overseas credit card for purchases? My account information is insisting on a credit card issued within my country of residence..?

iTunes doesn't allow a credit card that was issued by a bank in another country (possibly because it's a way of confirming that you are able to buy from a country's store) - you will only be able to use a credit card issued by a New Zealand bank. Or you could use iTunes gift cards as your payment method, as far as I can see they are available in New Zealand.

"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.
