Materials valuation

Hi,
what are the impacts of valuating a material to standard price or moving average price ?
Regards

Hi,
Use
In the SAP System, there are two types of price control:
Standard price
Moving average price
These two types of price control differ in how they handle price variances resulting from goods receipts or invoice receipts.
Integration
You determine the price control that should be used for a material when you create the material and enter the accounting data for it. You enter one of the following indicators in the Price control field to determine how the price is controlled:
S for standard price control
V for moving average price control
Standard Price
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
If a material is assigned a standard price (S), the value of the material is always calculated at this price. If goods movements or invoice receipts contain a price that differs from the standard price, the differences are posted to a price difference account. The variance is not taken into account in valuation.
Moving Average Price
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.
If a material is assigned a moving average price (MAP), the price is automatically adjusted in the material master record when price variances occur. If goods movements or invoice receipts are posted using a price that differs from the moving average price, the differences are posted to the stock account; as a result, the moving average price and the value of the stock change.
Thanks & Regards,

Changing of Materials Valuation can be possible when transfer Materials fro

Hi SAP Gurus,
Changing of Materials Valuation can be possible when transfer Materials from one Palnt to another Plant in the same company?
Thanks
Chandra

The simple answer is - Yes it is possible, put different standards on the material master for the different valuation areas.
next question: how will the account for the difference?? Price variance? Uplift? where will that post?
next question: how will create those values? cositng runs, conditions, uplifts?

Bought Out materials Valuation doubts

Dear All,
By mistake our POs were created for a price higher than the actual price (Excise duty Part added twice - once along with Purchase price then again using tax code). GRN was made for this higher price and while booking the bill (MIRO) the same was corrected by crediting the difference amount to Stock account (To the extent stock is available otherwise consumption will be credited).
However there is a huge time GAP between GRN and MIRO date and in the meantime lot of subsequent GRNs and Consumption posting has taken place at a value higher than actual.
now after making the MIRO correction will the costing for the material be corrected automatically (for stock as well as consumption that has taken place in the mean time)
if no then what is the impact of the stock credit given during MIRO entry.

In Case stock is available in system at the time of MIRO credit will be loaded on to stock, otherwise creit will be loaded into Price difference account in ratio stock qty available.
PO price is 110 for 100 pcs
At GR
Stock : 11000 Db
GR/IR: 11000Cr
At the Time of MIRO if stock is available (it is > or += 100) & Invoice is done at 100 for 100 pcs
Stock : 1000 Cr
GR/IR: 11000 Db
Vendor : 10000 Cr.
At the time of MIRO Stock available is 30 & Invoice is done at 100 for 100 pcs
Stock : 300 Cr
GR/IR: 11000 Db
Vendor : 10000 Cr.
PRD : 700 Cr.

Inventory Valuated Stock Value is not matching with R/3

Dear Friends,
we are in a big mess.Needed your help urgently
We are in sap netweaver 2004s.We are implementing the standard business content only for one of our client.We have loaded the Inventory data into BW by following "How to handle the Inventory Management" document.
We have loaded the inventory data into 0IC_C03 using standard transferrules and update rules.
The sequence we followed as:
IN R/3
Filled the setup tables for during the posting free time(non-business hours)
Stock intialization
Material Movements
Evaluations
IN BW
We had loaded the data into only 0IC_C03 cube using standard update rules(no changes done)
2LIS_03_BX-Generate intial stock with no marker update unchecked
2LIS_03_BF-Full update with no marker update checked
2LIS_03_UM-Full update with no marker update checked
When we compared the data between R/3 and BW they are many materials "Valuated Stock Value" is not matching with R/3.For some materials value is matching with R/3 but for some other materials its not matching with R/3.Some materials are showing the negative figures for Valuated Stock Value.
But the valuated quantity value is exactly matching with R/3 for all the materials.
We have tryed to many ways in the past 10 days to find out the solution.We have followd the notes 589024 and implemented the formula.But no luck so far.
Needed your help..Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
Please help us with your inputs.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Sudheer,
No We haven't implemented this note.
In start routine we already have the first start routine in the note.
INSERT BEGIN
loop at DATA_PACKAGE.
    if DATA_PACKAGE-stockcat eq 'V' or
       DATA_PACKAGE-stocktype eq 'V'.
      delete DATA_PACKAGE.
    endif.
endloop.
if abort is not equal zero, the update process will be canceled
ABORT = 0.
INSERT END
We should comment the above start routine and follow the remaining section as below?
==========================================================
Notes:
However, if you want a report of these consumption values, proceed as follows:
1. Do not use the start routine listed above.
2. Create two new key figures (cumulative values):
   1. Material consumption value (ZVERWERT, for example) with unit 0BASE_UOM
   2. Material consumption quantity (ZVERMENGE, for example) with unit 0LOC_CURRCY
3. Include these in the InfoCube definition.
4. Update these key figures from 2LIS_03_BF as follows:
-> material consumption value:
IF ( COMM_STRUCTURE-processkey EQ '100'   "Other Issues
    OR COMM_STRUCTURE-processkey EQ '101'   "Returns / Vendor
    OR COMM_STRUCTURE-processkey EQ '104'   "Material Transfer

only movements which are relevant for stock control
   AND COMM_STRUCTURE-cppvlc <> 0
   AND COMM_STRUCTURE-stockcat EQ 'V'
   AND COMM_STRUCUTRE-stocktype EQ 'V'.
result value of the routine
    RESULT = -1 * COMM_STRUCTURE-cppvlc.
if the returncode is zero, the result will be updated
    RETURNCODE = 0.

   AND COMM_STRUCTURE-stockcat EQ 'V'
   AND COMM_STRUCUTRE-stocktype EQ 'V'.
result value of the routine
    RESULT = COMM_STRUCTURE-cppvlc.
if the returncode is zero, the result will be updated
    RETURNCODE = 0.
ELSE.
if the returncode is not equal zero, the result will not be updated
    RETURNCODE = 4.
ENDIF.
if abort is not equal zero, the update process will be canceled
ABORT = 0..
-> material consumption quantity:
The code is the same, but COMM_STRUCTURE-cpquabu replaces COMM_STRUCTURE-cppvlc.
-> The characteristic value calculation is the same for the other key figures.
5. Update these key figures from the 2LIS_03_UM in the same way.

MM Account determination with valuated/non valuated sales order stock!

Hi All,
I have been trying to set up MM account determination in our project for sales order assigned POs.What I have observed is that when I have a PO with sales order assignment and according to requirement class (coming through reqt type) in sales order it is valuated sales order stock then in the PO we get the stock account determined through BSX key. But when it is non valuated sales order stock we get a different account assigned through GBB-VKA key. In both the cases the account assignment category in the PO is "E".
Can someone please explain what is the connection between valuated/non valuated sales order stock and MM account determination and if what is happening is right from account determination point of view?
Regards,
V S

These are two different postings:
BSX: stock posting
GBB: Offsetting entry for stock posting
Stock posting (BSX)
This transaction is used for all postings to stock accounts. Such
postings are effected, for example:
-   In inventory management in the case of goods receipts to own
    stock and goods issues from own stock
-   In invoice verification, if price differences occur in
    connection with incoming invoices for materials valuated at
    moving average price and there is adequate stock coverage
-   In order settlement, if the order is assigned to a material with
    moving average price and the actual costs at the time of
    settlement vary from the actual costs at the time of goods
    receipt
Offsetting entry for stock posting (GBB)
Offsetting entries for stock postings are used in Inventory
Management. They are dependent on the account grouping to which each
movement type is assigned. The following account groupings are
defined in the standard system:
-   VKA:     for sales order account assignment
         (for example, for individual purchase order)

G/L Accounts - Valuation Class

Hi Experts,
How to assign G/L Accounts to Valuation Class and also to material group...
Which is the best industry practice....

Hi
Assigning account to valuation class differs for various processes.
In OBYC select BSX, select rules and select debit,credit, valuation class and enter the valuation class and the corresponding account (created as a balance sheet item) .This is for Inventory posting.
Similarly u have to assign account to all keys like VBO ,WRX, etc
The rule here depends on the client business needs. For ex: if the client wants the consump[tion account to go to diff accounts based on the material type or the plant then the rule should include the valuation class and the valuation modifier and if clients says that all consumption accounts to one G/L then no need of above selection for the rules of the account key.
Also to identify the rules normally we have to see the balance sheet of the client and decide the rules accordingly. If their balance sheet has diff consumption accounts based on the material types then select the rules accordingly.
Read the below to have more idea on account assignment:
The following list shows the individual transactions with examples of how they are used. The transaction/event key is specified in brackets.
Change in stock (BSV)
Changes in stocks are posted in Inventory Management at the time goods receipts are recorded or subsequent adjustments made with regard to subcontract orders.
If the account assigned here is defined as a cost element, you must specify a preliminary account assignment for the account in the table of automatic account assignment specification (Customizing for Controlling) in order to be able to post goods receipts against subcontract orders. In the standard system, cost center SC-1 is defined for this purpose.
Stock posting (BSX)
This transaction is used for all postings to stock accounts. Such postings are effected, for example:
In inventory management in the case of goods receipts to own stock and goods issues from own stock
In invoice verification, if price differences occur in connection with incoming invoices for materials valuated at moving average price and there is adequate stock coverage
In order settlement, if the order is assigned to a material with moving average price and the actual costs at the time of settlement vary from the actual costs at the time of goods receipt
Because this transaction is dependent on the valuation class, it is possible to manage materials with different valuation classes in separate stock accounts.
Caution
Take care to ensure that:
A stock account is not used for any transaction other than BSX
Postings are not made to the account manually
The account is not changed in the productive system before all stock has been booked out of it
Otherwise differences would arise between the total stock value of the material master records and the balance on the stock account.
Account determination of valuated sales order stock and project stock
Note that for valuated sales order stock and project stock (special stock E and Q) and for the transaction/event keys BSX and GBB, you must maintain an account determination to avoid receiving warning messages when entering data (purchase order or transfer posting) for valuated stock.
During data entry, the system attempts to execute a provisional account determination for GBB for valuated stock. The system will only replace the provisional account determination for GBB with the correct account determination for the stock account (BSX), in the background, if you enter the data for valuated stock at a later point in time.
Small differences, Materials Management (DIF)
This transaction is used in Invoice Verification if you define a tolerance for minor differences and the balance of an invoice does not exceed the tolerance.
Freight clearing (FR1), provision for freight charges (FR2), customs duty clearing (FR3), provision for customs duty (FR4)
These transactions are used to post delivery costs (incidental procurement costs) in the case of goods receipts against purchase orders and incoming invoices. Which transaction is used for which delivery costs depends on the condition types defined in the purchase order.
You can also enter your own transactions for delivery costs in condition types.
External service (FRL)
The transaction is used for goods and invoice receipts in connection with subcontract orders.
If the account assigned here is defined as a cost element, you must specify a preliminary account assignment for the account in the table of automatic account assignment specification (Customizing for Controlling) in order to be able to post goods receipts against subcontract orders. In the standard system, cost center SC-1 is defined for this purpose.
External service, delivery costs (FRN)
This transaction is used for delivery costs (incidental costs of procurement) in connection with subcontract orders.
If the account assigned here is defined as a cost element, you must specify a preliminary account assignment for the account in the table of automatic account assignment specification (Customizing for Controlling) in order to be able to post goods receipts against subcontract orders. In the standard system, cost center SC-1 is defined for this purpose.
Offsetting entry for stock posting (GBB)
Offsetting entries for stock postings are used in Inventory Management. They are dependent on the account grouping to which each movement type is assigned. The following account groupings are defined in the standard system:
AUA: for order settlement
AUF: for goods receipts for orders (without account assignment)
and for order settlement if AUA is not maintained
AUI: Subsequent adjustment of actual price from cost center directly
to material (with account assignment)
BSA: for initial entry of stock balances
INV: for expenditure/income from inventory differences
VAX: for goods issues for sales orders without
account assignment object (the account is not a cost element)
VAY: for goods issues for sales orders with
account assignment object (account is a cost element)
VBO: for consumption from stock of material provided to vendor
VBR: for internal goods issues (for example, for cost center)
VKA: for sales order account assignment
(for example, for individual purchase order)
VKP: for project account assignment (for example, for individual PO)
VNG: for scrapping/destruction
VQP: for sample withdrawals without account assignment
VQY: for sample withdrawals with account assignment
ZOB: for goods receipts without purchase orders (mvt type 501)
ZOF: for goods receipts without production orders
(mvt types 521 and 531)

Valuation Type Wise Standard Cost

Hi SAP Experts,
I can not update the valuation type wise standard cost. It is going updated only at the Header level in the material master.
We have activated the batch valuatin and also the split valuation for materials.
At the header level in the material master there is a varialble price control and at the lower level we have defiend the valuation type with the standard price control. But when i am running the standard cost system update the cost only at the header level in the material master and not at the lower level.
Can any one help on this issue?
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Trushit

Hi thank you for your answer.But if we maintain the valuation type default in split valuation then for all materials valuation types becomes mandatroy field, if we are going to open the batch but there may be the cases where batch is only going to be opend but not the valuation type.

Trushit

FIFO Valuation: Two questions

Hi there,
I like to configure FIFO valuation and I have a couple of questions:
Is there anything I have to take care regarding price control ? i.e. can I use FIFO valuation for materials valuated at standard and moving average price ?
Is it possible to update the actual material price (moving or average) after FIFO valuation ? The Online Help specify that the FIFO price can be copied in either the tax price or commercial price fields but there is no mention of the actual price.
Thanks in advance for your help and regards
Thomas

which does not reflect the actual capabilities. If you have a look into the selection screen of transaction MRY2 you will notice that you can also updae the standard price or moving average price, when checking also 'database update'.

Estimation process while split valuation is active

Hello friends
Is there other configuration required when materials valuated using split valuation .. ?
while estimating the cost of finish product , other components like semi-finish materials , and raw materials are valuated at split valuation . how system will know which price it has to pick .
Examlpe :- one semi finish material valuated at 3 levels 01, 02, 03 .
in material master without valuation type price control is V      233.00      procurement type X
IN valuation type 01 price control V                                               250.00
but in valuation type 02 price control is S                                     150.00
and in valuation type 03 price control is S                                    180.00
now while estimating cost for finish product , which price system will consider .
i think i have to use valuation price with user exit - setting available in okk4 valuation variant
Thanks in advanvance .

HI,
the main question (from your first posting) is: "how system will know which price it has to pick . "
As BOM does not contain the information which split-valuated segment of a material should be considered during plan cost estimation (only the material is known, but not the batch) its up to you to define the rules for which valuation-segemnt price has to be picked.
Best regards, Christian

Goods receipt reversal - material valuation

Friends can any one explain the goods receipt reversal scenario
and how it will affect the material valuation.
I am going through SAP HELP but i did not understood, the concept behind it and how it affect the material valuation once the goods receipt is entered and
after cancelling the good receipt in case of "moving price" and the material valuation carried out.
Please help me
and also i want to know transaction for goods reciept reversal .....
Edited by: VENKATESH MADANAGOPAL on Dec 15, 2008 7:29 AM

Dear Venkatesh,
Most goods movements in Inventory Management lead to changes in stock quantity and therefore in stock value: In the case of goods receipts, the stock value increases and in the case of goods issues, the stock value is reduced.
For materials valuated at a moving average price, the material price can also change in the case of goods receipts for purchase orders. This is the case if the purchase order price differs from the material price.
Planned Delivery Costs for a purchase order are also included in valuation when goods are received. When the goods receipt is posted, provisions are created for planned delivery costs; thus the material is immediately valuated at the expected price. A subsequent debit/credit when the invoice is received is only necessary if there are variances between the stipulations of the order and the invoice.
It is also possible to post the net value of goods received. In this way, cash discounts that have been agreed upon are taken into account in valuation at this point. This means that when a goods receipt is posted for a material with moving average price control, the value of the order minus the cash discount is debited.
Material price changes can also occur during the following transactions in Inventory Management:

Suppliers and inventory valuation discounts.

Hi friends,
We manage agreements with vendors for rebates. For the operation of the rebates everything seems ok. However it me has been requested to include these rebates in the valuation of stocks. Have there someone having this issue. Your help will be welcome.
Kind regards

You r right, this transaction will open following period for postings. You should take into consideration that you may close the previous period for postings using transaction MMRV. In fact, you should perform this right after you finish all your month end activities, so accounting value of your inventory cannot be changed.
In terms of year end materials valuation, depends on you valuation procedure, and local legal/fiscal requirements of your company (LIFO/FIFO/Inflation...) If you don't have any particular need, you don't need to perform any particular operation at year end, it's just another period change.
Hope this helps!

hi bheema,
Configure Automatic Postings
In this step, you enter the system settings for Inventory Management and Invoice Verification transactions for automatic postings to G/L accounts.
You can then check your settings using a simulation function.
Under Further information there is a list of transactions in Materials Management and their definitions.
What are automatic postings?
Postings are made to G/L accounts automatically in the case of Invoice Verification and Inventory Management transactions relevant to Financial and Cost Accounting.
Example:
Posting lines are created in the following accounts in the case of a goods issue for a cost center:
Stock account
Consumption account
How does the system find the relevant accounts?
When entering the goods movement, the user does not have to enter a G/L account, since the R/3 System automatically finds the accounts to which postings are to be made using the following data:
Chart of accounts of the company code
If the user enters a company code or a plant when entering a transaction, the R/3 System determines the chart of accounts which is valid for the company code.
You must define the automatic account determination individually for each chart of accounts.
Valuation grouping code of the valuation area
If the automatic account determination within a chart of accounts is to run differently for certain company codes or plants (valuation areas), assign different valuation grouping codes to these valuation areas.
You must define the automatic account determination individually for every valuation grouping code within a chart of accounts. It applies to all valuation areas which are assigned to this valuation grouping code.
If the user enters a company code or a plant when entering a transaction, the system determines the valuation area and the valuation grouping code.
Transaction/event key (internal processing key)
Posting transactions are predefined for those inventory management and invoice verification transactions relevant to accounting. Posting records, which are generalized in the value string, are assigned to each relevant movement type in inventory management and each transaction in invoice verification. These contain keys for the relevant posting transaction (for example, inventory posting and consumption posting) instead of actual G/L account numbers.
You do not have to define these transaction keys, they are determined automatically from the transaction (invoice verification) or the movement type (inventory management). All you have to do is assign the relevant G/L account to each posting transaction.
Account grouping (only for offsetting entries, consignment liabilities, and price differences)
Since the posting transaction "Offsetting entry for inventory posting" is used for different transactions (for example, goods issue, scrapping, physical inventory), which are assigned to different accounts (for example, consumption account, scrapping, expense/income from inventory differences), it is necessary to divide the posting transaction according to a further key: account grouping code.
An account grouping is assigned to each movement type in inventory management which uses the posting transaction "Offsetting entry for inventory posting".
Under the posting transaction "Offsetting entry for inventory posting", you must assign G/L accounts for every account grouping, that is, assign G/L accounts.
If you wish to post price differences to different price difference accounts in the case of goods receipts for purchase orders, goods receipts for orders, or other movements, you can define different account grouping codes for the transaction key.
Using the account grouping, you can also have different accounts for consignment liabilities and pipeline liabilities.
Valuation class of material or (in case of split valuation) the valuation type
The valuation class allows you to define automatic account determination that is dependent on the material. for example: you post a goods receipt of a raw material to a different stock account than if the goods receipt were for trading goods, even though the user enters the same transaction for both materials.
You can achieve this by assigning different valuation classes to the materials and by assigning different G/L accounts to the posting transaction for every valuation class.
If you do not want to differentiate according to valuation classes you do not have to maintain a valuation class for a transaction.
Requirements
Before you maintain automatic postings, you must obtain the following information:
1. Valuation level (plant or company code)
Establish whether the materials are valuated at plant or at company code level
When valuation is at plant level, the valuation area corresponds to a plant.
When valuation is at company code level, the valuation area corresponds to a company code.
Define valuation level
2. Chart of accounts and valuation grouping code per valuation area
Find out whether the valuation grouping code is active.
Activate split valuation
If it is not active, determine the chart of accounts assigned to each valuation area (via the company code).
If it is active, determine the chart of accounts and the valuation grouping code assigned to each valuation area.
Group valuation areas
You must define a separate account determination process for chart of accounts and each valuation grouping code.
3. Valuation class per material type
If you wish to differentiate the account determination process for specific transactions according to valuation classes, find out which valuation classes are possible for each material type.
Define valuation classes
4. Account grouping for offsetting entries to stock accounts
Under
Define account grouping for movement types , determine for which movement types an account grouping is defined for the transaction/event keys GGB (offsetting entry to stock posting), KON (consignment liabilities) and PRD (price differences).
Default settings
G/L account assignments for the charts of accounts INT and the valuation grouping code 0001 are SAP standard.
Activities
1. Create account keys for each chart of accounts and each valuation grouping code for the individual posting transactions. To do so, proceed as follows:
a) Call up the activity
Configure Automatic Postings .
The R/3 system first checks whether the valuation areas are correctly maintained. If, for example, a plant is not assigned to a company code, a dialog box and an error message appear.
From this box, choose Continue (next entry) to continue the check.
Choose Cancel to end the check.
The configuration menu Automatic postings appears.
b) Choose Goto -> Account assignment.
A list of posting transactions in Materials Management appears. For further details of the individual transactions, see Further information.
The Account determination indicator shows whether automatic account determination is defined for a transaction.
c) Choose a posting transaction.
A box appears for the first posting transaction. Here you can enter a chart of accounts.
You can enter the following data for each transaction:
Rules for account number assignments
With Goto -> Rules you can enter the factors on which the account number assignments depend:
- debit/credit indicator
- general grouping (= account grouping)
- valuation grouping
- valuation class
Posting keys for the posting lines
Normally you do not have to change the posting keys. If you wish to use new posting keys, you have to define them in the Customizing system of Financial Accounting.
Account number assignments
You must assign G/L accounts for each transaction/event key (except KBS). You can assign these accounts manually or copy them from another chart of accounts via Edit -> Copy .
If you want to differentiate posting transactions (e.g. inventory postings) according to valuation classes, you must make an account assignment for each valuation class.
Using the posting transaction "Offsetting entry for inventory posting", you have to make an account assignment for each account grouping
If the transaction PRD (price differences) is also dependent on the account grouping, you must create three account assignments:
- an account assignment without account grouping
- an account assignment with account grouping PRF
- an account assignment with account grouping PRA
If the transaction KON (consignment and pipeline liabilities) is also dependent on the account grouping, you must create two account assignments:
- an account assignment without account grouping (consignment)
- an account assignment with account grouping (pipeline)
d) Save your settings.
2. Then check your settings with the simulation function.
With the simulation function, you can simulate the following:
Inventory Management transactions
Invoice Verification transactions
When you enter a material or valuation class, the R/3 system determines the G/L accounts which are assigned to the corresponding posting transactions. Depending on the configuration, the SAP system checks whether the G/L account exists
In the simulation you can compare the field selection of the movement type with that of the individual accounts and make any corrections.
If you want to print the simulation, choose Simulation -> Report.
To carry out the simulation, proceed as follows:
a) Choose Settings to check the simulation defaults for
- the application area (Invoice Verification or Inventory Management)
- the input mode (material or valuation class)
- account assignment
Instructions
b) Choose Goto -> Simulation.
The screen for entering simulation data appears.
c) Depending on the valuation level, enter a plant or a company code on the screen.
d) When you simulate Inventory Management transactions, goods movements are simulated. The R/3 system suggests the first movement type for simulation. If several movements are possible with this movement type, you can select a line.
When you simulate Invoice Verification transactions, a list appears on the screen of the possible transaction types. Select a line.
e) Then choose Goto -> Account assignments.
A list appears of the posting lines which can be created by the selected transaction. For each posting line, the G/L account for the debit posting as well as the G/L account for the credit posting are displayed.
f) From this screen, choose Goto -> Movement+ to get a list of the posting lines for the next movement type or transaction type.
If you work with valuation classes, choose Goto -> Valuation class+ to receive the simulation for the next valuation class. This function is not possible when simulating with material numbers.
Choose Goto -> Check screen layout to compare the movement type with the G/L accounts determined by the system and make any necessary corrections.
Note
The simulation function does NOT obviate the need for a trial posting!
Further Notes
The following list shows the individual transactions with examples of how they are used:
AG1 - No documentation currently available.
AG2 - No documentation currently available.
AG3 - No documentation currently available.
Expense/revenue from consumption of consignment material (AKO)
This transaction is used in Inventory Management in the case of withdrawals from consignment stock or when consignment stock is transferred to own stock if the material is subject to standard price control and the consignment price differs from the standard price.
Expenditure/income from transfer posting (AUM)
This transaction is used for transfer postings from one material to another if the complete value of the issuing material cannot be posted to the value of the receiving material. This applies both to materials with standard price control and to materials with moving average price control. Price differences can arise for materials with moving average price if stock levels are negative and the stock value becomes unrealistic as a result of the posting. Transaction AUM can be used irrespective of whether the transfer posting involves a transfer between plants. The expenditure/income is added to the receiving material.
Provisions for subsequent (end-of-period rebate) settlement (BO1)
If you use the "subsequent settlement" function with regard to conditions (e.g. for period-end volume-based rebates), provisions for accrued income are set up when goods receipts are recorded against purchase orders if this is defined for the condition type.
Income from subsequent settlement (BO2)
The rebate income generated in the course of "subsequent settlement" (end-of-period rebate settlement) is posted via this transaction.
Income from subsequent settlement after actual settlement (BO3)
If a goods receipt occurs after settlement accounting has been effected for a rebate arrangement, no further provisions for accrued rebate income can be managed by the "subsequent settlement" facility. No postings should be made to the account normally used for such provisions. As an alternative, you can use this transaction to post provisions for accrued rebate income to a separate account in cases such as the one described.
Supplementary entry for stock (BSD)
This account is posted when closing entries are made for a cumulation run. This account is a supplementary account to the stock account; that is, the stock account is added to it to determine the stock value that was calculated via the cumulation. In the process, the various valuation areas (for example, commercial, tax), that are used in the balance sheet are taxed separately.
Change in stock (BSV)
Changes in stocks are posted in Inventory Management at the time goods receipts are recorded or subsequent adjustments made with regard to subcontract orders.
If the account assigned here is defined as a cost element, you must specify a preliminary account assignment for the account in the table of automatic account assignment specification (Customizing for Controlling) in order to be able to post goods receipts against subcontract orders. In the standard system, cost center SC-1 is defined for this purpose.
Stock posting (BSX)
This transaction is used for all postings to stock accounts. Such postings are effected, for example:
In inventory management in the case of goods receipts to own stock and goods issues from own stock
In invoice verification, if price differences occur in connection with incoming invoices for materials valuated at moving average price and there is adequate stock coverage
In order settlement, if the order is assigned to a material with moving average price and the actual costs at the time of settlement vary from the actual costs at the time of goods receipt
Because this transaction is dependent on the valuation class, it is possible to manage materials with different valuation classes in separate stock accounts.
@1A@Caution
Take care to ensure that:
A stock account is not used for any transaction other than BSX
Postings are not made to the account manually
The account is not changed in the productive system before all stock has been booked out of it
Otherwise differences would arise between the total stock value of the material master records and the balance on the stock account.
Revaluation of "other" consumptions (COC)
This transaction/event key is only relevant to Brazil. It is used if a revaluation report is used for company codes in Brazil.
The revaluation report uses the actual prices determined by the material ledger/actual costing to:
Revaluate costs on the basis of actual prices
Post the price differences arising from "other" consumptions (e.g. consumption to cost center) to a collective account
This transaction/event key is needed to post the price differences. The account specified here is posted with the price differences for "other" consumptions.
No documentation currently available.
Small differences, Materials Management (DIF)
This transaction is used in Invoice Verification if you define a tolerance for minor differences and the balance of an invoice does not exceed the tolerance.
Purchase account(EIN), purchase offsetting account (EKG), freight purchase account (FRE)
These transactions are used only if
Purchase Account Management is active in the company code.
Note
Due to special legal requirements, this function was developed specially for certain countries (Belgium, Spain, Portugal, France, Italy, and Finland).
Before you use this function, check whether you need to use it in your country.
Freight clearing (FR1), provision for freight charges (FR2), customs duty clearing (FR3), provision for customs duty (FR4)
These transactions are used to post delivery costs (incidental procurement costs) in the case of goods receipts against purchase orders and incoming invoices. Which transaction is used for which delivery costs depends on the condition types defined in the purchase order.
You can also enter your own transactions for delivery costs in condition types.
External service (FRL)
The transaction is used for goods and invoice receipts in connection with subcontract orders.
If the account assigned here is defined as a cost element, you must specify a preliminary account assignment for the account in the table of automatic account assignment specification (Customizing for Controlling) in order to be able to post goods receipts against subcontract orders. In the standard system, cost center SC-1 is defined for this purpose.
External service, delivery costs (FRN)
This transaction is used for delivery costs (incidental costs of procurement) in connection with subcontract orders.
If the account assigned here is defined as a cost element, you must specify a preliminary account assignment for the account in the table of automatic account assignment specification (Customizing for Controlling) in order to be able to post goods receipts against subcontract orders. In the standard system, cost center SC-1 is defined for this purpose.
Offsetting entry for stock posting (GBB)
Offsetting entries for stock postings are used in Inventory Management. They are dependent on the account grouping to which each movement type is assigned. The following account groupings are defined in the standard system:
AUA: for order settlement
AUF: for goods receipts for orders (without account assignment)
and for order settlement if AUA is not maintained
AUI: Subsequent adjustment of actual price from cost center directly
to material (with account assignment)
BSA: for initial entry of stock balances
INV: for expenditure/income from inventory differences
VAX: for goods issues for sales orders without
account assignment object (the account is not a cost element)
VAY: for goods issues for sales orders with
account assignment object (account is a cost element)
VBO: for consumption from stock of material provided to vendor
VBR: for internal goods issues (for example, for cost center)
VKA: for sales order account assignment
(for example, for individual purchase order)
VKP: for project account assignment (for example, for individual PO)
VNG: for scrapping/destruction
VQP: for sample withdrawals without account assignment
VQY: for sample withdrawals with account assignment
ZOB: for goods receipts without purchase orders (mvt type 501)
ZOF: for goods receipts without production orders
(mvt types 521 and 531)
You can also define your own account groupings. If you intend to post goods issues for cost centers (mvt type 201) and goods issues for orders (mvt type 261) to separate consumption accounts, you can assign the account grouping ZZZ to movement type 201 and account grouping YYY to movement type 261.
@1A@Caution
If you use goods receipts without a purchase order in your system (movement type 501), you have to check to which accounts the account groupings are assigned ZOB
If you expect invoices for the goods receipts, and these invoices can only be posted in Accounting, you can enter a clearing account (similar to a GR/IR clearing account though without open item management), which is cleared in Accounting when you post the vendor invoice.
Note that the goods movement is valuated with the valuation price of the material if no external amount has been entered.
As no account assignment has been entered in the standard system, the assigned account is not defined as a cost element. If you assign a cost element, you have to enter an account assignment via the field selection or maintain an automatic account assignment for the cost element.
Purchase order with account assignment (KBS)
You cannot assign this transaction/event key to an account. It means that the account assignment is adopted from the purchase order and is used for the purpose of determining the posting keys for the goods receipt.
Exchange rate differences in the case of open items (KDM)
Exchange rate differences in the case of open items arise when an invoice relating to a purchase order is posted with a different exchange rate to that of the goods receipt and the material cannot be debited or credited due to standard price control or stock undercoverage/shortage.
Differences due to exchange rate rounding, Materials Management (KDR)
An exchange rate rounding difference can arise in the case of an invoice made out in a foreign currency. If a difference arises when the posting lines are translated into local currency (as a result of rounding), the system automatically generates a posting line for this rounding difference.
KDV - No documentation currently available.
Consignment liabilities (KON)
Consignment liabilities arise in the case of withdrawals from consignment stock or from a pipeline or when consignment stock is transferred to own stock.
Depending on the settings for the posting rules for the transaction/event key KON, it is possible to work with or without account modification. If you work with account modification, the following modifications are available in the standard system:
None for consignment liabilities
PIP for pipeline liabilities
Offsetting entry for price differences in cost object hierarchies (KTR)
The contra entry for price difference postings (transaction PRK) arising through settlement via material account determination is carried out with transaction KTR.
LKW - No documentation currently available.
Price differences (PRD)
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 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.
Depending on the settings for the posting rules for transaction/event key PRD, it is possible to work with or without account modification. If you use account modification, the following modifications are available in the standard system:
None for goods and invoice receipts against purchase orders
PRF for goods receipts against production orders and
order settlement
PRA for goods issues and other movements
PRU for transfer postings (price differences in the case
of external amounts)
PRK - No documentation currently available.
PRP - No documentation currently available.
PRQ - No documentation currently available.
PRV - No documentation currently available.
PRY - No documentation currently available.
RAP - No documentation currently available.
RKA - No documentation currently available.
Provision for delivery costs (RUE)
Provisions are created for accrued delivery costs if a condition type for provisions is entered in the purchase order. They must be cleared manually at the time of invoice verification.
Taxes in case of transfer posting GI/GR (TXO)
This transaction/event key is only relevant to Brazil (nota fiscal).
Revenue/expense from revaluation (UMB)
This transaction/event key is used both in Inventory Management and in Invoice Verification if the standard price of a material has been changed and a movement or an invoice is posted to the previous period (at the previous price).
Expenditure/income from revaluation (UMD)
This account is the offsetting account for the BSD account. It is posted during the closing entries for the cumulation run of the material ledger and has to be defined for the same valuation areas.
Unplanned delivery costs (UPF)
Unplanned delivery costs are delivery costs (incidental procurement costs) that were not planned in a purchase order (e.g. freight, customs duty). In the SAP posting transaction in Logistics Invoice Verification, instead of distributing these unplanned delivery costs among all invoice items as hitherto, you have the option of posting them to a special account. A separate tax code can be used for this account.
Input tax, Purchasing (VST)
Transaction/event key for tax account determination within the "subsequent settlement" facility for debit-side settlement types. The key is needed in the settlement schema for tax conditions.
Goods issue, revaluation (inflation) (WGI)
This transaction/event key is used if already-posted goods issues have to be revaluated following the determination of a new market price within the framework of inflation handling.
Goods receipt, revaluation (inflation) (WGR)
This transaction/event key is used if already-effected transfer postings have to be revaluated following the determination of a new market price within the framework of inflation handling. This transaction is used for the receiving plant, whereas transaction WGI (goods receipt, revaluation (inflation)) is used for the plant at which the goods are issued.
GR/IR clearing (WRX)
Postings to the GR/IR clearing account occur in the case of goods and invoice receipts against purchase orders. For more on the GR/IR clearing account, refer to the SAP Library (documentation MM Material Valuation).
Caution
You must set the Balances in local currency only indicator for the GR/IR clearing account to enable the open items to be cleared. For more on this topic, see the field documentation.

Advise how to set GL account for GR/IR difference due to different exchange

Hi Experts,
You could find that price in GR and IR is the same, but the exchange rate in IR(32.395) is differenct from exchange rate in GR (32.37000).
There are some line items of Price differences in inventories from procurement (GL 490400) in the accounting document of GR, but they are derivative from differenct exchange rate rather than price differences.
So, we would like to change the configuration to let the exchange rate differences posted to GL account of income or expense from exchange rate differences (GL 396000/796000), other differences posted price differences in inventories from procurement (GL 490400).
Kindly advise.
Thanks.

Differences due to exchange rate rounding, Materials Management (KDR)
An exchange rate rounding difference can arise in the case of an invoice made out in a foreign currency. If a difference arises when the posting lines are translated into local currency (as a result of rounding), the system automatically generates a posting line for this rounding difference.
Exchange rate differences from lower levels (KDV)
In multi-level periodic settlement in the material ledger, some of the exchange rate differences that have been posted during the period in respect of the raw materials and semi-finished products used in the manufacture of a semi-finished or finished product are debited or credited to that semi-finished or finished product.
Exchange rate differences in the case of open items (KDM)
Exchange rate differences in the case of open items arise when an invoice relating to a purchase order is posted with a different exchange rate to that of the goods receipt and the material cannot be debited or credited due to standard price control or stock undercoverage/shortage.
now maintain all this key with your required exchange rate difference account in OBYC
Price differences (PRD)
Price differences arise for materials valuated at standard price inthe 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).
-   None     for goods and invoice receipts against purchase orders
-   PRF      for goods receipts against production orders and
         order settlement
-   PRA      for goods issues and other movements
-   PRU      for transfer postings (price differences in the case
         of external amounts)
now maintain all this key with your required price difference account in OBYC

Automatic Creation of MIGO for stock transfer order with movement type 351

I have used the BAPI - BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE_OIL to create the material document number. But the test ended with error "Goods movement not possible with mvmt type 351".
Is there any ways to eliminate the above error....
Friends need your help

351 Goods issue for a stock transport order (without SD)
The quantity is transferred from unrestricted-use stock in the issuing plant to stock in transit in the receiving plant.
Movement type 351 is only used if the goods issue is posted without an SD delivery. A goods issue for a stock transport order with SD delivery is posted using movement type 641 or 643.
The transfer posting is also possible for materials valuated separately.
The goods issue for a stock transport order takes place using movement type 101.
Possible special stock indicators: E, Q
For special stock indicators E and Q and for purchase orders assigned to an account, ensure that the quantity is not posted to the stock in transit in the receiving plant.
