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.

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

Import material moving average price is showing negitive.

Dear GURUS
I have aproblem in Import material moving average price problem
My user put the amount 10000 EUROS instead of 10000 INR in P.O ,
I am getting the below mentioned error.
Moving average price for material is negative: 2428014263 1100 SPR_IMP
Message no. M8783
Diagnosis
     This item would create a stock value posting which would result in a
     negative moving average price for the material.
     Note:
     The category of this message can be changed in Customizing for Invoice
     Verification. This means that you can receive a message as an error
     message even though it is defined as a warning message in the standard
     system.
     The following documentation deals with the case applicable to the
     standard system only.
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.

VMI and moving average price

Dear all
Please help us.
We will use moving average price as stock evaluation.
Also, we manage all inventory is VMI stock.
Our business process is the following procedure.
1. We will increase consignment stock (VMI) without reference to purchase order.
2. We will input sales order and allocate it to VMI stock.
3. We will post goods issue, movement type 601-K.
As you know, accounting documents post GR/IR at this time. Unfortunately, SAP does not calculate moving average price (MAP) in material master. ie. moving average price is zero.
We would like to calculate moving average price because almost stock is VMI.
How do you customize SAP?
Best regards.

You have to add one more step to handle this scenario as per my knowledge
which is before you issue the stock using 601 K you have to take the stock in you own inventory and than issue using movement type 601 not 601 k.
As per the std SAP the 601 K M type will never update the value because that's not are stock
you can see the setting below
601     K     L                   2             VAX
601     K     L          WA03     2     GBB     VAX
601     K     L     E              2             VKA
601     K     L     E     WA03     2     GBB     VKA

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).

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 in Semifinished material.

Dear All,
Our client wants to go for moving average price in case of semifinished material, which is supposed to be normally standard price. The problem is the MAP is not getting updated after the GR against the production order. What settings I need to check in cusomization from PP point of view to solve this problem. Ideally the summation of cost of raw materials has to be the cost of semifinished material.
did the settlement and the MAP got updated. There are few questions I want to ask u are?
1. What MAP should I keep when I create the material for the first time?
2. What the base to calculate the target cost in production order? Currently the target cost is zero for that the varience is hugh which will be going to affect the MAP in a big manner after setllement? What should I do in that case?
Ur valuable inputs are awaited at the earliest. It's urgent.

Kindly go thoroug following it will solve your issue
Genrally SAP suggest Std price for semi & fin
but some company are useing MAP so i think the client want MAP then also it will not create any problem but this is laways FICO decision
now MAP is not getting updated
while goods movement system update G/L AC automatically the price used for updating the GL is either std or MAP depending on which is maintain in material master
your MAP will get updated only after settlement of Production order If your production is make to order in that case costing is against Sales order & no issue of settlemnt of Production order so MAP will not be updated in MTO
which price you should maintan in material master & target cost & variance
initally u upload master data with price 1 After that u take costestimate run & realse the price that will be std price Now you can see the varinace along
after realsing the cost estimate you can chane MAP in mr21/22
You can maintain both the prices in material master but while GL AC updating system check the price control & then pick price
but it is advisable to have STD PRICE

Moving average price in case of semifinished product.

Dear All,

Ur valuable inputs are awaited at the earliest. It's very very urgent.

Hi
There will not any big problem if your client insists upon MAP for the material instead of your suggestio for having S as per std. SAP suggestions. There will not be any change in material price during confirmation if you have V indicator but if you have S as indicator there will be change in price due to costing and settlement. It is not that system will not do anything for the materials having V indicator, check the field value for Standard price , it gets updated. Your costing calculation completely depends uopn the settings that has been customised in OPN2 i.e the settings available for valuation. You cancompletely control all these.
Pirce for your semifinished should include the inputs to it and any other parameters which you would like to add. You can always change the price manually with MR21 if you have Zero stock.

Moving average price/standard price via iDoc

Hi,
I would like to distribute moving average price and standard price on price change (price changed via transaction event or MR21) to external system.
Is there a way to accomplish iDoc (MATMAS) triggering on price change?
Any idea on how to track changes?
Searching through forums I found that MATMAS will not trigger on MAP change via transactional event, GR, GI...
Thnx

Dear Amit,
yes - I understand how the system calculates the MAP. However, the receiving system is a SAP WMS - In WM there is no inventory management nor FI/CO. The valuation would always be zero. So I'm interested how can I update it via ALE?
It works for the first time if I have no valuation (accounting) view in the material and I send an IDoc with the view definition segment and a value for VERPR. But updating isn't possible.

Changing of Inventory Valuation: Standard to Moving Average Price

I work at a service-based company and have also been asked to research the impact involved with switching our inventory from standard price to moving average price.
Scenario: Change material type TRAD (trading goods) from standard price to MAP.
Process: Change settings in SPRO at the level of u201CDefine Attributes of Material Typesu201D. Currently, this is set for u201CStandard priceu201D with the indicator u201CPrice ctrl mandatoryu201D set. Upon change to u201CMoving average price/periodic unit priceu201D, Iu2019m thinking I need to de-activate the u201CPrice ctrl mandatoryu201D field so any current materials with an u201CSu201D in the Price control field on the Material Master Accounting 1 tab can be changed to u201CVu201D. Is this correct? Also, is there a program that already exists to mass update the Price control field on the Material Master? If not, I was looking to create a CATT for this changeu2026.any other ideas? In some of the forum posts it was mentioned to use t-code MR21 however, even with the u201CPrice ctrl mandatoryu201D field de-activated, the Price control column is grayed out.
It was mentioned in a previous post that all open documents (PO to IR) need to be completed before changing the price control setting, at what point does this stop the process? Does SAP generate a system error message?
Also, any suggestions as to when this price switch is best to take place like after inventory?
Are the above mentioned areas the only areas I should be concerned about or am I missing some areas that should be addressed?
P.S. We do not use have our ML (material ledger) activated or use split valuation.
Thanks~
Dawn

Hi,
If you want to change material from standard to moving average price, Follow the below process
1)first the material quantity and value should be zero
2)if you want to keep value and quantity and want to change price control in future you have to create new material with price control "V' and lock the previous material for posting.

-ve price change in Moving average Price of Material in Material Master.

Dear All,
Kindly guide on below issue.
We have a Material e.g A which stock was available in System let us say 10 qty & the Price per unit was Rs.10. But in last August some users chagned the price to Rs.5 because of whcih the Valuation in previous period has become negative.
Now I have to rectify this. Now please tell me how can I do so.
Also Note: there are sevral other Movements have happened since then i.e. GR, IR, Consumption for Production etc.
This is very important.
Regards,

For negative MAP , there are steps which are given in SAP note 356757. Follow this steps to overcome this issue.
The notes goes as...
Summary
Symptom
When you try to post an invoice for the purchase order, the system generates error message M8783: 'Moving average price for material & & & is negative'.
Additional key words
MRHR, MR1M, MIRO, MMVAL, M8783
Cause and prerequisites
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.

Making Moving average price a mandatory field in MM01

Hello,
I've tried to make MBEW-VERPR a mandatory field in TC MM01, but with no success.
I tried using field selection (OMSR), screen variant (SHD0), making system message M3 131 an Error - nothing worked.
Please advice.
Thanks,
Dikla

Dear Lakshman,
You are right in what you are saying, and to explain the reason why I'm trying to make this field mandatory, I'll describe a scenario:
You have a Make To Order purchased material and you received an order for this material from one of your customers. You go out to purchase this material.
When you do GR for this PO, the PO price does not change the moving average price (MAP) of this material - it changes the sales order MAP of this material.
If, for some reason, the customer cancels his order at this point, you will do transfer posting to this material and change it from sales order stock to own stock.
We do this transfer posting with movement type 414 and that movement does not change the MAP of the material.
Now we have stock for this material, but with MAP zero.
If now we receive another customer order, we don't have to go out for purchase because we have this material in stock.
If we will use MvT 413 to allocate the stock to the sales order,
it will be allocated with price zero.
In this case, when we'll post the outbound delivery, no financial document will be created because the price of the material was zero.
I want to prevent this situation.
If the field is mandatory, even a price of 0.01 will be enough for the creation of financial document when I post a material document.
Dikla

Moving average price effect due to 309 mvt type

Dear Experts,
when we do stock transfer (309 mvt type ) from mat A to mat B , moving average price of A gets copied to moving average price of B if the stock of material B is zero.
If there is stock for material B, moving average price of A gets added to the stock value of B & MAP is recalculated.
Is there a way to ensure when we do material stock transfer, same MAP price is also captured. please suggest.

for what reason should the price of the issuing material change?
can you proof what you wrote?
