Material ledger price difference

Hi experts,
I am getting price difference in material ledger. the difference is in beginning inventory and cumulative inventory. Any suggestion why this is happening. Pls help.
Regards,
Vivek

Thank you Eli and Sudhakar -
Eli - I have gone through the notes.
Sudhakar -  after ML period end run total of all the price difference accounts should become zero. I think we need to group the accouns if we define seperate acclount for each key.
I would like to know  advantages / Disadvantage if any, by having single GL a/c assigned to all the keys. I mean assigning the same GL to all the keys ( PRD,PRY and PRV)  for the material (valuaion classes) that are with price Determination with 3. I will assign a seperate gl for PRD of materials ( valuation classes) that are with price det with 2.

  • Material ledger prices for material master

    Hi all
    We have activated Material Ledger. I like to dowload all the three currency prices for the materials. How is it possible?
    In MBEW only the company code currency is available.
    Also u cannot use the exchange rate as it gives wrong data.

  • Material ledger Price determination change

    For the FERT materials - we have material ledger active, price determination 2 and price control S setup as of now. We have the standard cost for the group and Moving average is calculated for information purposes - now we want the moving average to be periodic.
    I changed the price determiation from 2 to 3 in ML activation but had no impact.
    My questions are:
    1. Should we do this at the material level - so that moving avg does not get updated for each transaction and instead by period.
    2. what are the steps/tcodes to be taken before and after changing the price determination.  I understand we need to run ckmlcp - but need clarity on all the steps I have to do both from config and master data perspective.
    3. Test script steps

    Hi!
    A+ 1st point. Other decision is when you do MMPV.
    B+ I think its better do MMPV on 01/may before do CKMM,  so in point iii, you close of April. If you do CKMM with MMPV active period April, ML will be active for March and April. Again this is just a personal point of view.
    C+ Well, the procedure is correct,  Keep in mind the following: The system consider in your scenario S2 > S3 as Actual Cost of April the value in the standard at the moment of CKMM, so the flow:
    > CKMM > Release Standard>  At the release, system  create a price diff (UMB), that is part of your actual cost (initial of may). The value is the diff of your previews and new standard.
    In the ML Close of april, UMB of MAY  will be cleared and converted in PRY/PRV. If you want details of this, check Standard Cost Release with ML Active.
    Its important you validate it, because if the system dont select this materials, UMB $$ will be part of your P&L account.
    In the ML close of May, this value will be consider part of the actual of May.
    D+ What will happen if the run (iii) above after point (i ) will the ML revaluation will have impact on the material changes to 3S.
    The ML close of april have impact if you post (GM, IR, Settlement) for this materials on April. If this materials are produced, its common that you do the settlement of its order the 1 or 2nd day of may with posting date of april, but as i toldyou is a common procedure.
    E+ Just thinking, Its a good idea you do the ML close for this materials in April (status set to 70)
    If for any reason your ML close dont select them there are some workaround  eg check this oss 1602599 - Additional selection options for selection
    PS1.  Wish this give you more ideas. This topic is interesting and difficult to explain, because have some `depends on`. Again, i recomend you test in your QAS system!
    PS2. This post maybe give you other ideas Material Ledger Activation  - Lot of Questions in startup.

  • MAP Material hit Price difference account

    Hi Experts,
    Need your help urgently.
    I gone through many threads but  i did not got the solution.
    Material Created with Moving average price, while implemented, uploaded the inital stock. Then created one Import PO for the same material in USD and book the delivery cost invoice in USD. Now We are booking the GRN but its going to price difference account. We have blocked price difference account for this material type.
    Please suggest.

    Hi,
       It is standard behavior when stock value in document currency is not equal to the clearing value in document currency. The posting logic is well explained in the note: 191927 - Posting logic: GR for foreign currency PO and  308008 - FAQ: Posting logic: GR/IR clearing account  Question 12

  • Material Ledger - Inventory Difference Postings ( DUV )

    Dear all,
    I am working on getting this functionality to work and I would like to include all inventory difference
    related movement types. Is this possible with using the follow-on movement types? I think it is, but
    would like an answer from some of you.
    Thanks and kind regards,
    Eric

    Hi Sridhar,
    thanks for the feedback.
    I have one more question. The SAP Documentation states that
    "If you want to distribute inventory differences, you must set the indicator distribute differences"
    Can you or someone else tell me where to set this indicator?
    Thanks and kind regards,

    Hi Vinu,
    Please take a look at the sap note 721360 which provides very helpful information about
    MAP-controlled materials and actual costing.
    In addition take a look at the sap note 81682 and 689189 which are useful too.

  • T-stock price differences were not distributed by Material ledger

    Dear All,
    We have configured T-stock (Stock in transit) for movement types 601,921 in t-code OMJJ and have assigned this movements types to movement type groups of material ledger in  spro: Controlling -Product Cost Controlling -Actual Costing/Material Ledger -Material Update -Assign Movement Type Groups of Material Ledger. We use movement type group  CF with revaluation of G/L account and CO account assignment .
    Than we have performed operations with T-stock movement types.
    However, in ckm3 we don't see any G/L account in consumption line. In ML document there are no movement type group CF
    During actual costing run (t-code ckmlcp) system requires COC.
    We have analysed CKMLMV005 table data. For movements types with T-stock system puts V_REST in field User-def.name.
    And there are no G/L account.
    How can we solve this issue?
    With best regards,
    Kamila.

    Hi Kamila,
    SIT supports the revaluation to the original account.
    Please check if the ML document has not updated the
    movement type group CF, hence the revaluation of consumption points
    to the COC account.
    Therefore, there are two possible reasons for the revaluation going
    to COC in the example:
    1. The 601 T movement was posted before the customizing was carried out.
    2. The customizing is incomplete for the Revaluation of consumption in transaction OMX0.
    For instance if currently, there is one entry for 601 T:
    601 T L E -> CF
    Please, try to include additional entries for 601T:
    601 T     -> CF
    601 T L   -> CF
    601 T   E -> CF
    Please, try this in a test system, post the 601 T movement afterwards
    and check the results.
    Best regards,
    MLM

    Hi Bhaskar ,
    At the time of GR .. in standard costing .. the accounting entries are
    Inventory   -
    Dr  100  ( Std Price)
    Price Diff         -
    Dr      10
    GR/IR -
    Cr 110 ( Invoice Price)
    At the time of IR .. the entry is
    Gr/IR -
    Dr   110

  • Huge price variance in Material Ledger

    Dear Gurus,
    In our case the standard cost of one Finished goods is released with the price of Rs.10 but later on the cost of one of the Raw material is changed to Rs.1200.  Without releasing the standard cost (as it cannot be released for more than once in a period) of the Finished Goods,  we have performed Mock month end closing for Material Ledger.
    Now due to the difference in raw material cost huge variance (Rs.12000-10) is lying as unallocated variance.
    Please advise the way out as to how to correct the same at the earliest.
    Regards
    Rajya Lakshmi

    Hi,
    Thanks for the reply but in case of MR21 and MR22 also the variance will be collected on price difference account only and needs to be allocated back to the Finished Goods. 
    Against which the PRD should be knocked off is the question and how to pass the JV.
    Please Advise.

  • Low market price using Material Ledger for FG

    Hi dear Experts,
    We are using Material ledger for valuating 1 FG material with out quantity structure and its goning well but in the opening of a new plant after the actual costing calculation with have to adjust the actual cost to the low market price if this is low than actual cost of the month, do you know which steps I have to follow to make this happen I read something about parallel valuations and determination of lowest cost but how I can Carryout this to inventory valuation?
    Regards

    Hi Ganesh thanks,
    the market priceI have to maintain on one of the prices available in the material master, this is necessary in addition to any configuration to use  the mrn0?
    and just a doubt this could re-valuate the inventory for the closing period? and the difference as I read its posted to the COGS account, on the  next period or in the  closing one?
    thanks a lot
    regards

    Hi Suresh,
    The application component Actual Costing/Material Ledger fulfills two basic objectives: The ability to carry material prices in multiple currencies/valuations, and actual costing.
    The material master records are all information your company needs to manage a material is stored in a data record in the material aster, sorted by various different criteria.

  • Report on difference between PO price and Material standard price

    Hi,
    We need a report on Purchase price difference, which is report showing Open PO price & Material standard price, if there is a price difference
    This need to be run every day to avoid buyer changing price at PO level unless there is a valid reason
    Similarly difference if any between Schedule agreement price & Material master standard price
    Please help

    Hi,
    There is no standard report available for this.
    You need to develop one.
    Considering your requirement, it can be achieved with a query as well provided you do not need complex functionality out of the report.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to resolve price difference in case of Returning material through STO

    We are receiving material from our plant A to plant B. Material is manufactured in plant A and Standard price (3 S) is maintained for this material. In plant B, 2 V is maintained for this material and no excise credit is taken here. Now when i am returning unsuitable material back to plant A, there is a price difference, due to which plant A is unable to take the credit.
    Is there is any process so that same material cost is picked in sto when we are returning material to plant A
    Edited by: Sunil Kalia on Sep 15, 2010 9:19 AM
    Edited by: Sunil Kalia on Sep 15, 2010 9:20 AM

    In manufacturing plant Sales price is maintained as Standard price in Z-table , which is material cost + manufacturing cost. On this cost material is inward to plant B. But when material is returned back, MAP is assigned in STO, which is material Cost. The issue is due to different valuation areas at plant level in the same company. 
    Is there is some process to link the original STO with Return STO as discount issue does not match the prices.
