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.

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.

Moving average price of subcontracted material not picked for Cost estimation

Hi Experts
I have the below scenario:
Finshed Product A has components B, C.
C is a subcontacted material and it has its own BOM with components D & E.
We are maintaining moving average price for the subcontracted material C, (because the subcontracter is adding X & Y in addtion to the components D and E, which are sent from us).
In the mateial maste of C, Procurement type is F and Spl. procurement type 30 are maintained.
When i do costing for the Finished product A, moving average price of C is not picked up (where as system calculates the std cost for C by adding the values of D & E and purchase info record price).
Is there any way to Calculate Price of A by using the mvg avg price of C.
I maintained the below valuation variant settings.
If i remove the spl. procurement type 30 in the material master of C, it picks up the mvg. avg price. but it affects the MRP planning of items D & E.
Please advice.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Bala

Hi Big choi
Thanks for your response.
I understand.
1. if we maintain spl. procureent key 30, system calculates standard cost based on raw material and service charges.
2. If we don't maintain spl. proc key, it considers the material as purchased and picks the mvg avg price from material.
But, is there any way to pick the moving avg price from material master eventhough i maintained the spl. procurement type 30?
Thanks

Separate Moving Average prices for Same Material

HI All,
My client wants to maintain moving average price separately by shipment wise. In this scenario same material for same plant might have different moving average prices for each shipment. Is it possible with standard SAP system or how is it map in to System?
Thank you & Best Regards
Sameera

Duplicate thread already same question raised refer below link,
[Re: Separate Moving Average prices for Same Material]

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

     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

     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.

I have searched the forum and got the transaction S_P00_07000139 to track how it went to negative,

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,

Stock of material and moving average price for each valuation type

Hi
Is anybody aware of any standard report which will show the stock of material and moving average price of the material for each valuation type.
M5BL is one report but would like to check if there is any other report.
Regards
Vaibhav Mahajan

Hi,
Check MB52, select 'Display batch stock' option.
Batch is nothing but your valuation type.
You can see those details there.

Material Costing: Moving Average Price Issue

Hi Experts,
I have a issue regarding the Moving Average Price of the Material computed by the system (indent sales process):
The Material was created with Purchased Price .74PO Price x 10 items = 7.4 Amt in LC Posted into the system (PGR).
But afterwards, they reversed the Material Document with the same Price .74PO Price x 10 items.
This had been done last 2009.
Come 2011, they created another indent sale -> PO ->PGR for this material, now the price is .12 PO Price x 10 items = 1.2 Amt in LC Posted. However, the moving average price was computed 0.77
How does the system comes up with this computation? Is there inconsistencies in the system?

Thanks @jurgen. I checked-double-checked in MR21, there are no change documents under the material.
in MR51, added one Issue Document:

Moving average price based on valuation type for material

Gurus help needed.
we want to maintain the moving average price of the material in the pricing, and this depends on the Valuation Type. We have 3 valuation types.
If valuation type is blank then one MAP(Moving average price) value will come and if nn one map will come and for nn one map will come.
We have copied VPRS conditon type to YVRP and changed conditon category as T( Moving cost).
But in pricing the YVRP price is not picking from valuation type which is blank.
Where can i make the settings to tell the system to pick the moving average price from the material master where the valution type is blank always based on the condition.
Do we need to creat a routine? If so is there any standard routine which we can use or make minor changes to it?
If it is a new routine please tell me how to start with VOFM?
Note : We need the value to come automatically from material master same as VPRS.

Hi
The first method is not to set the pricing condition VPRS as statistical.
Simply remove PR00 and it will work fine if you always use VPRS as your pricing base inside the pricing procedure.
VPRS will reads both prices based on the price control in the material master.
Price control S for standard price.
Price control T for moving average price.
It is this simple if you do not have any other "Prices" in the price procedure.
However, if you are using one pricing procedure where for some items you price using VPRS and some others using PR00, then you should use requirement routines to enable the correct price condition type at the right time.
The second method involves more work as you need to write a formula (VOFM) to get that information.
This is how it goes :-
1. Set VPRS to be the first step in the pricing procedure and to be subtotal B (as standard).
2. Set PR00 with alt. calc. type formula, which sets the value of PR00 to be equal to the subtotal B.
Step 1 VPRS statistical, subtotal B, reqt 4
Step 2 PR00 Altcty 600

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.

Updation of Moving Average Price

Dear Experts,
My MM period is open for 2 months (i.e for July and August Now) . One of our raw material is Limestone.
From July 1st there were several Receipts and Issues of limestone in SAP.
In August 9th our survey team found that in our stock we have 25000 TON limestone excess. (Due to Callibiration error)
i.e If the current stock in system was 10000 TON the real Physical stock in storage was 10000 + 25000 TON.
We have created a Free of Cost PO for 25000 TON to account the excess quantity of Limestone in Stock.
MIGO Goods Receipt for the Free of Cost PO was done on 31.07.2011.
Because of the extra 25000 TON Free of Cost Limestone Receipt the Moving Average Price of the Material got Updated. (But only from 09-August-2011 not from 31-July-2011)
I want system to calculate the new moving average price and update all the documents posted from 31-July-2011. MY MM period is not closed.
Is it possible to do so and how. Please Help.
Thanks

Hi
The physical inventory is carried out on the basis of stock management units.A stock management unit is a non-divisible part of a stock of materials for which a seperate book inventory exists.A stock management unit is uniquely defined by
Material
Plant,storage location
Stock type
Batch
Special Stock
Each stock management unit of a material is counted seperately,and the inventory diffreneces are posted per stock management unit.
The physical inventory process comprises three phases
1)Creation of physical inventory documents(MI01)
2)Entry of Count(MI04)
3)Posting the difference(MI07)
1)In the first phase ,you create the physical inventory documents.SAP systems provide several procedures for mass-generation of PI documents.After selecting the stocks to be counted and creating the PI documents,you print out the documents in order to start the counting process.A physical inventory document cotains data that include
>The plant and storage location in which the count has to take place
>The date on which the count has to take place
>The materials to be counted
>the stock types to be counted
>The status of the item
>The status of the PI document
When creating a PI document,you can specify a physical inventory nuber in the document header.This physical inventory number facilitates selection of the PI documents to be processed during entry of the count data,posting the diffrences, and in evaluations.
2)Entering the physical inventory count:For the physical inventory count,you must print out the PI document and forward it to persons responsible for the count.You can enter the stock figures in the system with and without reference to a PI document.When entering the physical inventory count,you can enter a percentage variance of the count quantity from the book inventory,above which the system issues a warning message.
3)You can post the inventory diffrences either via list of differences or via seperate transactions.When an inventory difference is posted,the system creates a material document and corrects the stock figures,and an accounting document recording the necessary accounting movements.
Hope this will be helpful for you.
Regards,
Sandesh Sawant
