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

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

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 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.

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.

Moving average price for material is negative: M8 783 while credit memo/MR8M

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:
While cancelling the IR above, the error message apperas as "Moving average price for material in plant is negative".
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.
Regards,
Shilpa

Hi Jurgen,
MR51 for Material-Co.code- Valuation area shows "No accounting documents found".
Below is the screen shot of S_P00_07000139:
Current stock level is 8 BG and total stock value is $4000.
Hope this helps you give me more abswers.

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.

Rakesh

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 in material master

Dear All,
M client is in manufacturing process(variant configuration) having make to order scenario (Non-Valuated).
We are having steel and ring business, For Steel business we are producing in house/subcontracting and For Ring we are sending Raw material/Semi-finished goods to Sub-contractor for which he is charging processing charges. Raw material/SFG(semi-finished goods) provided to subcontractor is SFG for steel business.
We are doing movement type 912 E for sending goods for subcontracting (sales order is attached) and while doing G/R through MIGO processing charges are debited and credit goes to gr/ir account,Upto this point I am ok with costing as visible from sales order analysis(KKAC).
Now In our scenario if out of 6000 rings (as defined in sales order)customer is rejecting 1000 rings we have to detach that sales order through movement type 411 E and bring to our own stock or by movement type 412 E attach to another sales order .Also We are using 413 E movement type for transferring unsold goods to another sales order.
In 411 E and 412 E movement types system takes moving average price (maintained originally ) and by using movement type 413 E no value is transferred only quantity is transferred (because of non-valuated scenario).
Now if system picks original price maintained say at re.1 my costing for detached and attached sales order are incorrect .
Example
Material master(A) accounting view
Map     1
Stock     100               total value     100
Sales order 1(10 tonnes)A (finished product)
Cost     1000
Revenue     800(5 tonnes)
sales order 2
cost b/f          5
Revenue        800(5 tonnes)
Now if 5 tonnes are detached from sales order it picks price from
Master i.e Re.1 so Rs.5 is taken to own stock through mtype 411 E
Or it takes Rs.5 to another sales order 2 as cost of 5 tonnes .
Now my sales order 1 will show loss of Rs.195(995-800) and sales order2 shows profit of Rs.795.
I want to know whether system is behaving correctly or some customization is to be done.
Thanks and Regards
Vijay

Function module to update Moving Average price for Material?

Hi guys,
is there a function module or BAPI to update the moving average price in a material master?
i have tried UPDATE_MATERIAL_PRICE but guess it does not work. I have also tried MB_UPDATE_MATERIAL_PRICE and it seems to not work. Any pointers?

We have a need to update the moving average price using movement type 531 for a custom solution we have built for other business requirements. We have not found a way to update the moving average price yet using any of the information provided here. Can any offer any other suggestions. Looking for a BAPI, user exit, or function module that we could tap into in order to updat the moving average price. Here is what we found...
We believe that the following suggestions doNOT apply...
BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEREPLICA is basically for updating material master records in general. It does not address the offset to the alternate accounts.
BAPI_COSTESTIMATE_UPDATE_PRICE does not adjust the moving average price.
CIML_UPDATE_MATERIAL_PRICE updates Project Stock.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Historical moving average price in material ledger

Hi SAPGURUS,
Every Month when doing the Month-end closing, system re-calculate the moving average cost in material ledger . Is there a way to get this information for all plant, all model and download to the EXCEL.
Could you please tell if we can the information from any database table.
Thanks and regards,
Priyajit

Hi,
Look at the following table data MLCRP for price changes. MLCR is the basic material ledger table. There are other ML tables that you may need to refer to: MLCRF and MLPPF.
Cheers.

Moving Average Price for Material in Dual Currencies

Does a report exist that will display the Moving Average Price of a material using split valuation in more than one currency? For example: Part Number '12345' Qty 10, Moving Average Price (EUR), Moving Average Price (USD), Total Value (EUR), Total Value (USD).

Hi
It is not possible to maintain the material master accounting view in two different currencies. you will have to activate the material ledger for this.

Moving Average Price for Material(Urgent)

Dear experts,
For a material with MAP,after every GR ,price will change in material master record.
If i want all the price list for that particular material from the begining to till date,How to get this???
Please reply me.
Regards
MK

Hi MK,
Please follow the below steps.
Try any of these solutions:
1. Change the updating level of the structure (S031) to "daily". In LIS the total value and the total stock are available. Divide value by the stock. It is possible to calculate this dynamically when the analysis is run and to display the result.
2. Create your own structure in LIS and populate it by copying the Moving Average Price from the material master every time there is a transaction. You will have data on those days when there was a transaction.
