Material master: price S vs price V.

Hi,
when a material must be valuated at standard price and when must be valuated at moving average price?
Best regards

Hi,
Generally we do use Moving average price (price control V) for raw material & for semi finished and finished goods for Standard price procedure (price control S).But its all depends on business requirements.
Note:
Moving average price (price control V): The system valuates goods receipts with the purchase order price and goods issues with the current moving average price. The system automatically calculates the latter upon every goods movement by dividing the total value by the total stock quantity( Total Value/Total quantity). Differences in price between the purchase order price and the invoice are posted directly to the relevant stock account if there is sufficient stock coverage.Overally you can say System calulate automatically MAP taking into consideration of GR/IR.
Standard price procedure (price control S):The system carries out all stock postings at a price defined in the material master. Variances in price are posted to price difference accounts.Overally you can say Standard Price is calulated without taking into consideration of GR/IR.

Material master price

if we want to see when we created the material that time what price we have entered, then how can we see,

Hi Nitin
Usually Materila Price will be maintained in Condition Type Vk11 or in Purchase info record. We can maintain a standard or moving average price in Material Master
In Accounting View we maintain this price. But once the Material Master is Saved the standard price or Moving Price will be Greyed out. U willnot be able to edit it again. But that Material Master Price in Accounting willnot be same some time due to market change in price of the Product.
So Always Price, For SD will be in Condition Record VK11 and Price for MM will be in Purchase Info-record. And always remember when we create a PO price of the material will be taken from Info_record ONly.

Material master price, inforecord price and GR

Hi gurus,
Can annybody please clear my confusion. On the PO the price that is proposed is from the inforecord. When we receive the PO, what is the price at which the stock will be valuated? is it the material master price or the inforecord price? if we change the price on the PO after the inforecord has proposed the price, will the GR be valuated at the changed price of the PO. Please expolain
Thanks

the GR is valuated according to the price control set in the material master. if the price control is standard price, then the GR is valuated with the standard price, no matter what price the PO has.
in case of moving average price: if the goods receipt is executed before the invoice receipt, the goods movement is valuated with the purchase order price. If an invoice is already posted, the system uses the price of the invoice. If a partial invoice is received, the partial quantity corresponding to the invoice is valuated with the invoice price, the rest is valuated with the purchase order price.
if you change the price in the PO before you do a Goods receipt (and before you post an invoice receipt), then the GR is valuated with this new entered price.
how the price in PO is determined can be read in OSS Note 456691 - FAQ: Price determination in purchasing

Purchase Order from Material Master Price

Hi All,
Can I customise the system in such a way without any development in which I want that while creating PO the system should take the Price from Material Master if no Info record is maintained.
Thanks,
Lekhram

If you are using the requisition to create the PO then it is possible other wise not.
If you use PR
the do the follosing setting in OMET trasnction, select the adopt PO price
the go to SU3 and enter the parameter id = EFB and value = Function authorization code (e.g 01)
now when you create the PR
on valuation tab you can see the field PO price
select the price as gross or net price
this will copy the Mateiral price (PR price) to the PO

PIR and material master price

Dear all,
Say i have standard price maintained in material master as $2.00 per piece. This price is inclusive of freight cost or duty cost. Where as in PIR it is $1.20 only on material cost. the 80cents of freight and duty i built in PO condition by percentage.
1) May I know if it is ok to have PIR and standard price at different price because 1 want to calculate the freight and duty condition in PO by percentage?
2) when there is difference in amount during migo or miro against $2.00, then will go to price difference.
thanks

The frieght & duty cost should not be part of standard price. Actually the situation should be reverse where the standard price only has material prices and the info-record should have the freight, duty etc.
Only though this way you can maintain the sanctity of standard price.
Coming to your second query, yes during transactions the difference between standard price and PO price will go into price differences account or other account as determined automatically through account determination set-up

Material Master Price Unit field MBEW-PEINH

Hello,
In my experience I've always dealt with the Price Unit being equal to 1000 (1.00 for 1 ; 1000.00 for 1000). It is my understanding that this was decided upon due to the decimal point limitation. In my new project, everything is set to 1. Is this an issue at all? If a few parts are less than .01, could just those be set to per 100 or 1000?

Hi,
the price unit can be set on plant level of material master.
nd it is highly suggested to set the price unit to a level where the valuation price is something like 494,99 / 1000 units instead of 4,95 / 10 units or 0,50 / 1 unit (I've already rounded the values as SAP would do).
best regards, Christian

Reg material master price

Dear all,
For a finished material which is manufactured inhouse we are following one process and price is 100 per unit, same material if it is going through another process inhouse it is 150 per unit. in material master if price unit is s. in my inventory there are 100 units which are made through process one, there are 100 pieces which are made through process 2. While doing initial stock uploading for the 200 pieces what is the standard price to be taken.
Thanks in advance
Madhav

Dear Rao,
In this case ,I have few queries.
1.If you want to use mixed costing and if it is going to be 50%-50% for each process means,then use the average price,say Rs
125 while uploading the stock using MB1C and for 561 movement,here you can enter the amount in CC.
2.In case if you are not using the mixed costing concept then its a business decision to be made by the client side people.
3.But generally standard cost estimate is performed before uploading the stock,so that it automatically valuates the material
using the standard price.
Check and revert back with your further queries.

Material Master Price as Selling Price

I am using VPRS as my selling price on my pricing procedure and it is working just fine.
What I really want is cost plus 10% and I am having difficulty writing my VOFM Formula (alternate calculation type) to work correctly. I built in under Formulas, Condition Base Values.
xkomv-kbetr = xkomv-kbetr * '1.10'.
is not working. my cost is $7.06 so I am looking for a final selling price of $7.76 or $7.77.
My KBETR for one unit is $85,426.00 and my KWERT for one unit is $776.60
I am a functional analyst with no staff ABAP'r to turn to. Can anyone help me please?

Dear Laurie
Assume your VPRS cost is $ 7.06 and your selling price should be $ 7.76. Now the difference would be 10%.
Go to V/06, copy any condition type, rename as ZR00 and maintain the following:-
Cond. class::::::::::::::::A
Calculat.type::::::::::::::A
Cond.category::::::::::::blank
Rounding rule:::::::::::::Commercial
Plus/minus:::::::::::::::::A
Manual entries::::::::::::D
Item condition:::::::::::::X
Amount/percent:::::::::::X
Delete:::::::::::::::::::::::::X
Scale basis:::::::::::::::::B
Save the condition type
Go to V/07, select the condition type ZR00 and maintain 535 table which is for customer. Now go to VK11, inpur ZR00 and maintain 10% to customers.
Now go to V/08, maintain VPRS as your PR00 in step 100, on top with respective Account Key. After this condition, insert one step (say 101) with condition type ZR00, assigning From-To value as 100. Insert one more step 102 with description as "Sub total" with FROM - TO as 100 & 101 so that your selling price would be VPRS + ZR00 which is your selling price.
thanks

Hi,
Please let me know whether its a Standar Price Or Moving Average Price.
Whatever it may be you can change the Moving average Price for a Particular Plant in MR21 Trxn code.
If its a Standard Price Re enter the Price in the Future value Field and Give Valid from date. Bcoz once you enter Price in the Material Master it wont Fluctuate.

Updating Price in previous period - Material master

Experts,
I create a new material and want to update the price in previous period. I update successfully through MR21. when i check material master price is shown only in previous period(May) and its howing current period price is ZERO.
Is it possible to bring the previous price to current price tab automatically?
R.S

Hi,
You may check in OMRN and set column price carried over.
In the case of a price change in the previous period or in the previous year, you must define whether the change also applies to the current period. You have two options:
The price change applies only in the previous period or previous year and does not affect the current period.
The price change also applies to the current period; the price in the current period is thus also changed automatically.
Activities
If you want price changes in the previous period or previous year to also change the price in the current period, select column
Price carried over.
Thanks and regards,
Polly

Moving avergae price updation in material master for project stock

Dear All,
My query is pertaining to updation of MAP( moving average price) for project specific procurement ( as project stock) for valuated project stock.
As definelty the cost of procurement gets consumed by project .but i want to know does the project stock procurement still updates the moving avergae price or not.
Ex:-Suppose MAP in material master is 10 USD ( with qty 1)and i procure the same material ( qty 1)for project with account assignment Q for 9 USD . now will the MAP in material master becomes 9.5 USD or it remains 10 usd.?
Please reply urgently
Regards
Amit

Hi Amit,
If your Project Stock is valuated, then, the valuation data for it is stored in a different table: QBEW.
The normal, anonymus warehouse stock (the unrestricted use stock which is not assigned to any project or to any sales order) has its valuation data stored in MBEW.
The "Accounting 1" view in the Material Master MM03 ONLY displays the data of MBEW.
In the material master you will never see the valuation data of the valuated project stock (table QBEW) or the valuated sales order stock (valuation indicator "M" - table EBEW).
The valuation data for the tables QBEW and EBEW can be seen in SE16 or in the transaction MBBS.
Also note that these valuated special stocks are managed independently of the normal stock. If, for example, you change the Moving Average Price of your normal stock in MBEW, this will not have any influence on your project stock, as the data is under a totally diferent table QBEW.
I hope this helps you,
Esther.
