Moving average price has become Zero in Material Master

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.

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 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

Moving average price (MAP) became Zero(0) for one material

Gurus,
Please tell me what could set MAP to zero for a material?
Thanks,
Kishore

HI,
Please check whether any body has transferred material from on location to another free of charge ot at the price 0.01,
as the MAP will be become zero by two reasons
1) any user have made the GR or Invoice for that material for at 0.01 price.In case of several invoices with too low a price the total value can reduce to such an extent that the MAP goes towards zero
2) or you may not have any stock in your location's.
please check the MB52 repost whether any body did for 0.01 price for that material , you can increase you MAP with Transactions MR21/MR22 ,increase the price/stock value again - if required.
Furthermore, you can define tolerance limits in the Customizing for the MAP price variance (Transaction OMC0, tolerance key VP) this is for your precautions in future.
PLease see the previosu forum post on MAP they might help you in your scenario.

Ninad Kshirsagar

Moving Avg Price is not updating in material master even after PO GR

Dear Gurus,
All of the materials in our company won't update the MAP even after the goods movement, and the Price control is set as 'V'.
Can anybody give me the idea how to track the IMG setting?
Jamie

Check the Mat type
Check Qty , value update is active .
Please give the above details
MAP works as below- Is your understanding correct ?. From then current stock position and Inv value , When you do GR for 30 qty at $300 / EA. MAP is moved from 300 to 301
Item
Qty
MAP
Stock Value
Current
       1,000
          300
       300,000
GR done for 30 Qty with price 330/Ea
       1,030
          301
       309,900

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

How to enter initial balance for material with moving average price

We have an issue where the customer wants to split one material into three materials. We are thinking of posting goods issue for the original material and post goods receipt for the new three materials. But how to enter the initial balance since these three materials must have moving average price.

Hi,
If you create material first time in system with the help of MM01 then specify the price this will gets affect on moving price.
and if the material is created with ZERO price then use the option MR21 which is said by Jürgen

Moving average price in case of semifinished product.

Dear All,
Our client wants to go for moving average price in case of semifinished material, which is supposed to be normally standard price against our advice.

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.
Best Regards

Goods Receipt Amount based on PO price instead of moveing average price

Is it possible to customise SAP so that the amount in Goods Receipt transactions is calculated based on quantity * PO price instead of quantity * moving average price?
Thanks.

Thanks for your reply.
Standard SAP functionality:
1. When material ledger is active, the GR amount is based on pre-GR moving average price.
2. When material ledger is not active, the GR amount is based on PO price.
We use the material ledger but want the GR transactions to record the amount based on PO price.
Any suggestions?

Moving Average Price get updated

Hi MM Gurus,
Please advise why the moving average price is populated when a material is a Standard Cost price control and the standard cost is updated on the Material Master.
Having a Standard cost and a Moving average price on one material is confusing the Business.
Thanks,
Themba

Hello ,
If the material price control is "Standard Price " , even then the moving average price will be calculated by the system .
This is purely for statistical purpose , & gives a fair idea about deviation of Std price from the MAP.
Ideally speaking , std price shud be always close to MAP.

Moving average price for semi finished products

Hi
Could anyone light on this issue,
Our client maintain moving average price for the semi finished material, need clarification on below points
1) What is the advantages and disadvantages due moving average price,
2) Which price in the material master after the production order settlement,
3) Is there any impact of this on WIP calcaultions
Thanks in advance
Mohan M

Hi
there are no advantages of it, ONLY Dis Advantages!!!
That will ruin your inventory valuation forever.. Consider the eg below if your price control is V
1. Your moving price in mat master is 100 USD
2. You Mfr on Jan 1 @ Actual cost = 110 in Prod order and Qty = 1.
Upon GR, GR will happen @ 100 and at period end if Qty is lying in stock, 10 variance will also be inventorized
BUT, now consider this
1. 1. Your moving price in mat master is 100 USD
2. You Mfr on Jan 1 @ Actual cost = 110 in Prod order and Qty = 1.
Upon GR, GR will happen @ 100 and variance lying is 10 in prod order
3. You Mfr on Jan 10 @ Actual cost = 110 in Prod order and Qty = 1.
Upon GR, GR will happen @ 100 and variance lying is 10 in prod order
4. On jan 15, you consume Qty 1 and qty lying in stock is 1
5. In period end, when you do settlement, following will happen
a. For prod order 1: Qty Mfd 1 and Qty lying in stock 1 - Result: variance 10 will be inventorized.
Mvg Avg price will shoot upto 110
b. For prod order 2: Qty Mfd 1 and Qty lying in stock 1 - Result: variance 10 will be inventorized.
Mvg Avg price (MAP) will shoot upto 120
System wont check whether the qty lying in stock pertains to prod order 1 or 2... It will simply check if the Qty of prod order matches with qty lying in stock. hence, it will keep on inventorizing variance in this case.... and your MAP will touch the sky

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.
If i am in a wrong direction, please advise me gurus how to get rid of this error and measures to avoid in future.
Thanks in advance,
Kind regards,
Gopio.

Moving average price of the material is zero even after goods receipt

Hi,
We find that many bought out materials with price control 'V' have their MAP value zero in material master even after goods receipt and invoice receipt.
What could be the reason?
With Best Regards,
Rajkumar

Hi,
Check the account postings for your goods receipt and invoice receipt.
Further check the change history of the material master. Manual prcie changes carried out using MR21.
There is other standard transaction MRN0 where SAP allows to make the direct update of MAP. Check in MM04 Transaction to see if there is any change in the material master.
