Moving average price becomes negative

Dear all,
I have read several threads about this subject but my scenario is a little bit different than the ones described so far:
1 - I had a GR of 12 Tons for 2000 u20AC for material A
2 - Product A had several production consumptions (movement 261) with the correct MAP
3 - My user has accidently posted the invoice for 2000 u20AC, but for a quantity of 12 Kg. This caused a change in the moving average price, causing the following consumptions (261) to be wrong. This posting was done in January (already closed) but only detected now, unfortunately.
4 - We have found the message when the user detected the mistake and tried to cancel the invoice.
As we have dozens of consumptions of this product and dozens of sales orders of the finished product (for which product A was a component), I was thinking of making a value change in MR21 for component A, so that the following consumptions would be correct. And correct the MAP of the finished products, so that the cost of sales is corrected from now on.
I would also forget about canceling the invoice.
Can you tell me if this is the correct approach recommended by SAP? Has any of you faced similar issues that has a better solution?
Thanks in advance,
JL

Option 1 : You have to cancel all the documents last come First to Nullify the effect.( Which I feel the best practice may be bit tedious). And do the postings as required.
Option 2 : Do Manipulate with Movement type 561, means just Put 1 kg or .1 kg with very high value to mitigate the MAV value.
Option 3 : You can go for MR21.

  • Moving average price for article is negative

    We are facing this error during invoice verification,
    Moving average price for article/material  is negative : article/material  155521 4001
    I have searched the forum and got the transaction S_P00_07000139 to track how it went to negative,
    but i am having difficulty to identify which column i have to look into to see what caused the negative price.

    System Response
    The system does not allow a negative moving average price.
    cedure
    Check your entry in the field "Amount" and correct it if necessary.
    If your entry is correct, check the following for the material
    o   the stock value
         (Environment -> Master data info -> Display material)
    o   the posting history
         (Environment -> Line items -> For material).
    It might be necessary to cancel past postings (for example, incorrectly
    valuated goods receipts or incorrect price changes), before you can
    carry out your posting.
    If you wish to carry out a price change, the total stock of the material
    may be negative. A price cannot be changed if the stock is negative.

  • SAP Note 209864 - Moving average price is disproportionately large

    Dear All,
    We are having problems similar to what are described in the SAP Note 209864.
    We run the example as decribed in the note on our development server and got the same results.  Then, we run the tractsaction OMC0 to set the tolerance upper and lower limits to 10% for the moving average variance and run the example again but still got the same result.  We do not know why.
    In our production environment, some purchased materials may be returned to our warehouse from produciton after their stock quantities reach zero (and therefore their total stock values as well).  If in the time between the material reaches zero stock value and any left over materials are returned to the warehouse, there are good receipts from our suppliers for those materials and the prices are much different from the original moving average prices (e.g. replacement parts that are free of charge).  The value of the subsequent materials returned from the production to the warehouse will be valuated incorrectly.
    We would like to control the vairance to a pre-defined percentage, e.g. 10-20%.
    Please help.
    Best regards,
    Nelson

  • Moving average Price for Material is Negative

    HI Friends,
    I am doing MIRO for PO where its giving me error while posting the Invoice that
    Moving average price for material is negative
    Can any please help me to resolve this.
    what would be the implications if the price difference is too high b/w MAP in Invoice .
    Thnaks
    Purna Nalluri

    It is ofcourse bcoz there is price difference in the between PO and IR....
    so as per the calculations the MAP becomes negative....
    The formula for it is :
    Difference/Current stock holding + current moving average...
    Pls check you price entered at PO and IR....
    There are no any implecations...excepts the price differece is reflected in the MAP of MMR....
    hope it helps...

  • 'Moving average price for material is negative' calculation

    Hi Gurus,
    I would like to ask for your assistance regarding Invoice having error of 'moving average price for material is negative'.
    How is it being calculated that it goes to negative value? Can you also please give a scenario on why it became negative?
    We have the following scenario:
    MAP: 0.30
    Total Stock: 9
    Total Value: 2.74
    PO raised and GR was done:
    Quantity: 240
    Value: 2.95
    Would appreciate your assistance on issue.
    Thank you.
    Jih

    Hi,
    Please check that price of that material is increased or decreased by using transction MR21. after GRN.
    You posted a valuated goods receipt for a purchasing document for a material with moving average price control.When the invoice was posted (invoice item with price variance for goods receipt), the system generates error message M8783: 'Moving average price for material & & & is negative'.
    Between the posting of the original goods receipt and the entry of the invoice, the system already posted additional valuation-relevant transactions/events (goods movements, invoices and so on, can be displayed with Transaction MR51).
    The invoice verification tries (for stock coverage) to credit/subsequently debit the difference between the value of goods received and invoice item value for the stock.However, the material total value must not become negative by this stock posting.
    Solution
    Before you post the invoice, you must first increase the stock value.
    The amount by which the stock value must be increased at least can be calculated from the following values:
    1. Transaction MM03, accounting view material master, field 'Total value' (MBEW-SALK3)
    2. Invoice item value according to invoice
    3. In the invoice verification (Transaction MR01, MR1M, MIRO), change the invoice item amount to a value which is high enough and simulate the invoice to receive the value which would be posted for this item to the GR/IR account.
    In the invoice verification, the value (3) minus (2) is posted to stock. It must be larger than (1).Post a subsequent debit with the amount (3) + (1) - (2) for the affected material/plant (Transaction MR22).
    You can post the invoice afterwards.
    Regards.

  • Error: moving average price negative while doing MIRO

    Hi Experts,
    I am doing MIRo for PO where its giving me error while posting the Invoice that:
    Moving average price for material is negative: XSEPSNPW045CX 1044
    The MAP maintained in material master is 39,979.71 and in the invoice and GRN is 69,049.58. 
    Can any please help me to resolve this.
    what would be the implications if the price difference is too high b/w MAP in Invoice amount.
    and
    what happen when we paintain the amount in mr21.
    Regards,
    Sonali.

    Hi,
    Pls check your price in MMR (MAP price) and then check the IR price of material ....
    Example:
    MMR MAP Price = 5.00 EUR
    If IR price = 30 .00 Eur
    IN YOUR CASE:
    The MAP maintained in material master is 39,979.71
    and in the invoice and GRN is 69,049.58.
    So MAP PRice defined in the MMR is lesser than the IR price...
    so the MAP will get negative...
    Hope it helps...

  • Moving average price has become Zero

    Hi,
    Can you please help us , if you have any ...this kind of situation in your projects.
    Scenerio:
    We are using Workflow mechanism for creation material in Master data client
    01. After creation of Material, it will go for approval (to six departments in SAP Itself ) and after their approvals,it will be moved to "Book of Records"( to Transactional client)
    02.If the requester is submit the Material for approvals, it will create IDOC and will be moved to "Book of Records"( to Transactional client).
    03.If any error is there in the Material views, IDOC will be failed in Outbond system( Transactional client)
    in this case.We use BD10 to move the changes manually.
    Problem is,
    01.We moved manually 10 materials on 29/10/2008 through BD10 to Transactional client .in this case, we observed that, the moving average price(VERPR) ,Commercial price 2 (BWPH1),and Moving average price (if the price control is S) (SALKV) has become Zero.
    Why ?
    Why this 3 fields become Zero ?
    Is there any link between these fields and How ?
    Note: Price control "S" is maintained to the above all the materials.
    Can any body help us to find out the reason ?
    *What is the solution to find the Moving average price now and to update as on date ?
    Is there any field , we can see the Moving average price in backend ?*
    Your help will be highly appreciated.

    Thanks for your answers, But..
    There is a problem that we are supporting to China and they have a local ledger and they will calculate the actual costing based on tha moving price.Now these 10 Materials are Finished goods and are available in 30 plants each.
    Taking the MAP from the each plant and calucating it ... is very problem and headache Job .
    My question is ....
    How it got deleted and why ?
    Is there any relation between these three fileds ?
    Easiest way of collecting the MAP ?
    Any thought  will get the appreciation..
    Thanks

    Normally when you create a new material, you need to provide the price manually for the first time. Now since you said your price control is "S". Otherwise your IDoc should have a price for the Standard price when it is "S" and Moving Average price when it is "V".
    It can be ZERO if you intend to create and release a std cost esatimte (For internally produced materials).

    Thanks

    Dear,
    Please rfer the OSS Note 753286 you will get the reason for it.
    The invoice price is constantly less than the goods receipt price.
    The invoice verification tries (in stock coverage) to subseqently debit resp. to credit the difference between value of goods received and invoice item value to the stock.
    Hope clear to you.

  • MIRO : Moving average price for material is negative

    Hi,
    i post an invoice but the system gives me this message : "Moving average price for material is negative: 120462 M411"
    i tried to change the average price (MR21) but really it is not a solution.
    is there any other solution to post this invoice?
    Regards
    Edited by: jehade el aoumari on Oct 22, 2008 2:06 PM

    Moving average price negative error comes when the correction in price of material made in MIRO is more than its moving average price in material master.  There are three ways to solve this error,
    MR21 as you said, or
    Reverse all previous transactions like GR in the sequence they were made, amend the PO and make fresh GR. or if this is not possible,
    Complete the MIRO with wrong amounts and pass FI jv to rectify the wrong FI impact....
    Hope this helps you..
