Moving average price is negative

Hi,
The PO has been posted for a quantity of 7101 on 11/09/2007.
The Invoice was posted for a quantity of 711 by mistake on 11/16/2007(Amount 3053.43/711 qty)
Subsequqntly GR was posted on 11/30/2007 for a quantity of 7101.(Amount 5801.13/ 7101qty)
Business is now trying to reverse the Invoice because of keying error and want to raise a new invoice.While doing so,the error message is moving average price for material is negative.
The present total value of the stock is 886.27
I dont see any material price changes for this material.
Any thoughts/inputs into this issue.
Please let me know.
Thanks
Aravind

  • 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

    Hi gurus,
    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.
    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 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...

  • 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...

    Hi GUrus,
    Can anybody please expklain me why we get the moving average price of the material to be negative. PLz xplain with an example clearly. Thanks in advance
    Thanks
    Anusha

    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..

  • Moving average price of material is negative - MIRO

    Hi,
    We are trying to create an invoice using MIRO and we get this error"Moving average price for material is negative..."
    Could you please provide some inputs as to why this might be happening and how to resolve this.
    Please do not suggest that we change the moving average on the material.
    Thanks,
    Venkat

    Hi,
    The answer is to change the moving average!!
    Calculate your new price as -
    Difference/Current stock holding(/1000) + current moving average

  • '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.

    Hi,
    We receive an error message :M8 783- "Moving average price for material is negative". This is while we do a credit memo or MR8M.
    This is the screens shot of MB51:
    Below is the PO history for the material in question:

    Not really clear how this situation should be handled.
    The MAP of this material has not changed.. Its 500$.
    Read the oss notes as well, but would like to get some response from the forum to proceed.

  • Moving average price for material is negative while MR11.

    Hi
    Encountered "Moving average price for material is negative"  error while performed MR11 transcation.
    GR alerady done but not IR. Few months later, now GR/IR clearance having this issue.
    I could found the material price is being revised (price reduced from earlier GR time).
    Now while performing one time clearance though MR11 (there wouldn't be any IR posting in P.O) having this error.
    Appreciated if any one can advise in steps how to clear.
    Thanks
    RG

    Hi,
    You should define the GR/IR clearing mantenance which will not  update the material stock account! Had better assign another G/L acccount (non-material stock account) to GR/IR clearing!
    Good luck

  • Negative stock ('moving average price for material is negative')

    Dear all,
    I have a question with regards to negative stock.
    Does it means if I configure my system (i.e. OMJ1) by allowing the negative stock for a particular plant, the problem of Invoice bumping the error (i.e. 'moving average price for material is negative') WILL NOT happen at all again?
    If not, how can I solve this problem?
    thanks.
    tuffy

    Hi,
    As Jürgen said price can't be negative. You need to correct MAP first before posting the invoice. Try running consistency check (Tcode: MB5K) you might know the reason why system is showing -ve moving average price and then you can correct.
