Moving average price valuation across plants

Hi gurus.
Could anybody help to resolve the problem?
We need to valuate Moving Average Price for Materials across plants.
We use PP module and need to use Plant Valuation Levelu2026
Does any User-Exit exist which is called during valuation?
Thanks & Regards,
Igor

1. Both the consumption & the closing valuation of the raw-materials will be at "V" (moving average price).
2. When the materials are mantained at "V" (moving average price), there is NO price difference varaince. All the price difference flows to the material valuation itself.
Hope this helps you.

Moving Average price valuation

Hi,
We are maintaining rawmaterial at V-Moving Average price in the material master Record, so the consumption will be booked at V price, but what about the closing valuation of rawmaterial, whether it is valued at V price or any other value.
Second Query is how the price difference will be posted, how the system calculates the price difference whether at V price, whether it will post price difference or not.
please provide the info i will assign points.

STO with moving average price & with out moving average price

Hi,
i have two questions.
1) I have created STO and issued the material with 351 movement type, after issuing material accounting documents will be with moving average price from issuing plant.
what is the other process to issue with out moving average price ,the price must take as per in PO(sto).
2) why we will use STO why cont we use 301 movement type with one step transfer.
Pls help
Regards
Sunil

Hi Sunil,
1) the 351 movement type uses always the price from the material master, you can't change it
2) I don't really understand your question. You need advise when using STO and when 301?

Does moving average price work with multiple valuations?

Dear All,
I have activated multiple valuations: Legal, group and profit center.
I have activated ML/Actual costing for this multiple valuations too.
Now I have 3 price fields in material master.
Could I use moving average price for some materials types in multiple valuations?
Thank you,
With best regards,
Kamila.

Hi Kamila,
yes, ML is always activated for all materials in a plant. To use MAP you have to set the price determination of a material to '2':
This is the F1 help of the field price determination:
Material Price Determination: Control
Specifies how the material price determination should procede.
You have the following options:
With price control V in activity-based material price determination (indicator2 in the material master), the moving average price is calculated. With price control S, the material is valuated with the standard price and the moving average price is calculated for information purposes.
In single-/multi-level material price determination(indicator 3 in the material master), the valuation price (standard price) remains unchanged and a periodic unit price is calculated for the closed period.
This option is only for materials with price control indicator S,and is only recommended if in addition to multiple currencies and/or valuations, you use single-/multi-level material price determination.
In single-/multi-level material price determination, a periodic unit price is updated for information, but it can only be used for material valuation in the closed period.
Dependencies
The indicator is only of use if the material ledger is active.
Upon activating a valuation area for the Material Ledger in Customizing, you can enter what type of material price determination will be proposed when creating a material in that valuation area. This proposal will be ignored at production startup: the system automatically sets the indicator to 2 in the material master for all materials present.
If you want to change the indicator for a particular material later, choose Accounting -> Controlling -> Actual Costing/Material Ledger -> Environment -> Change Material Price Determination.

Moving Average Price for Non-Valuated Material

Hello Experts
The question may seem to be quirky but need your advice for the below.
My client is buying non-valuated material against a cost center, they do not want to keep the stocks valuated. No value update only quantity update. The accounting documents are the following when the GR is done by receiving folks
Qty of material XYZ goods receipted = 10
Debit     Consumption GL   12345678       10 USD          Cost Center ABC123 (This is a warehouse cost center)
Credit    GR/IR account                            10 USD
Qty of mateiral XYZ issued = 5
The goods are later on issued to Production cost center and the client was the below entries to be passed with MOVING AVERAGE PRICE.
Debit    Consumption GL 12345678           6 USD          Cost Center ABC456 (This is production Cost center)
Credit   Consumption GL 12345678           6 USD          Cost Center ABC123 (This is warehouse cost center)
I am aware that as this is a non valuated material the above entry is not possible. Maybe, I will use BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST for the generating the accounting document when the goods are issued from warehosue to production center.
My question is how can i get the moving average price.
Regards
Chokkalingam Pillai

you can have an accounting view for non-valuated materials, this helps for example with purchase requisitions as they could take the valuation price from the material master and the user does not need to enter a valuation manually.
But the material master moving average price cannot be calculated and updated automatically, as it is not foreseen in any standard program to do this for cost center procurement, since SAP only calculates a MAP for valuated stocks.
Further it is not logical to issue non-valuated stock valuated (even with a different price) from cost center to cost center.
It looks like you want to have a kind of internal billing for warehouse services, as you end up with a negative amount in the warehouse cost center which is then the profit.
Why don't you just create a report to run at the end of the month, listing all goods issue movements with their cost centers and taking the price from last PO (or from material master if you decide to maintain it manually) and use this for a manual cost center posting in CO module

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.

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.

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 Batch Maintenance

Hi Experts,
      I've created material of which stock is maintain in batch (Valuation category = X & Price Control = V).
    Due to batch wise stock, system calculates the moving average price for different batches.
    Can we calculate moving average price at plant level inspite of maintaining material batch wise?
   Is there any other way by defining multiple storage bins for that material so that I can see the stock value differently with single moving average price value?
   Thanks.
                                               Naimish.

In MM03, you get the overall MAP for all batches of the material at plant level without mentioning valuation type in org. level. When specific valuation type is given, you can see its MAP / std price.
Hope this clears the doubt.

SAmeer

FIFO with moving average price

we are using for own produced goods "moving average price" and Material ledger. At month end we setlle production variance . The system also creates an entry for ML "price variance" (which is the percentage of the prodcution variance for the remained stock).
When we run the document extract (MRF3), with the option of "Order settlement", the costs include not only the production variance but also the ML line. That is too high.
When we run it without selecting "Order settlement" the adjustement is the reversal of the price variance (the ML line item). That is too low.
The total costs should be only the total production costs.
One cannot exlude it by the material movement as both "price variance" and "production variance" is not part of a material movement.

hi,
We need to follow the steps if we need to valuate our inventory by means of FIFO Scenario :
1. In T-code OMWE, activate the balance sheet valuation as LIFO Valuation not active & FIFO Valuation active.
2. In T-code MRLH, FIFO Maintained at company code or plant level.
3. In T-code OMWL, set mean receipt price at valuation ares level if Plant or at company code level if at company code level.
4. Configure FIFO Valuation ares for teh respective year.
5. In T-code OMWP, Configure FIFO Method.
6. In T-code OMW4, Movemnet type settings for FIFO maintained. Generally, no chnages made.
7. Select material for FIFO in Tcode MRF4.
8. Execute FIFO Valuation- Tcode MRF1.
Hope it helps..

Freight accrual - Stock Transport Order - Moving Average Price.

Hi all
   I am trying to add delivery costs (freight accrual) to Stock transport order, where the material in receiving plant is valuated at Moving Average Price (MAP). So, the freight cost is getting rolled over into the material price in the receving plant because of MAP valuation.
    But my client doesnot want that. Instead we want the freight accrual to post to a expense or COGS freight account. Is there way to control this when material is valuated at MAP in receiving plant?
Thanks
Vamsi

Currently, with the outbound delivery for STO and PGI, the following the accouting document is generated.
Cr Inventory Account (sending plant)   10000
Dr Inventory Account (receiving plant) 10200
Cr Freight Clearing Account                       200
Where as I want the accounting document as follows when outbound delivery is created.
Cr Inventory Account (sending plant)   10000
Dr Inventory Account (receiving plant) 10000
Dr COGS Freight Account                          200
Cr Freight Clearing Account                       200

-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.

Moving average price as on date

Dear All,
Can any one tell me how can I find a moving average price of a material on a particular date?
Suppose I want to know what was the moving average price on 15/12/2007?
What is the t.code?
thanks & regards,
Ramesh Balivada

What is the Price Control for the material for which you need the MAP?
If it is "M", you can get this straight off the MB5B report.
Say you need the price on 15 May 2008, enter the material number and plant, and in the dates, the from date can be anything before 15th May. The To date should be 15th May. Make sure the stock type is "Valuated Stock".
Execute the report. Divide the Ending Inventory Value by the Quantity.
If the Price Control is "S", get the moving average price for the previous month end (say April 2008) from MBEWH... the rest you need to figure it out!
Cheers.

System posts to PRD account for moving average price material.

Hi,
We are procuring spare parts (ERSA) externally, which is having price control as MAP. While doing GR, system shows message "Account 602042 required an assignment to a CO object." Here the problem is account 602042 is a price difference (PRD) account. Why should system ask for a G/L, which is mentioned in PRD in this case.
Please note that this is first movement for the material and stock is zero in plant. There are no material documents for this material.
Please suggest.
Regards
Alex

If ML is active, then this can happen. Please see note 532932 FAQ: Valuation logic with active material ledger.
material is valuated by the inventory management similarly to the posting logic of a material managed by a standard price. The accounting document generated by the inventory management shows this posting logic; the amount posted in the material document corresponds to the product from quantity and moving average price and not to the externally assigned value.
Generated accounting lines of the material ledger (depending on the material ledger settlement control) then valuate the stock.
Example:
Material: Testmat 1
Price control: V
Moving average price: 10 EUR/PC
Purchase Order: 10 PCS for 150 EUR
> goods receipt for the purchase order for 10 PCS
Acctg documents:
1) GR document:
   BSX 100 EUR D
   WRX 150 EUR C
   PRD 50 EUR D
2) ML document:
   BSX 50 EUR D
   PRY 50 EUR C

Moving Average Price does not get updated for Project Stock

Hello Experts
We have an Engineer-to-Order implementation for our client. Accordingly procurement is done per project. Each Project issues its PRs which are then converted to POs and recieved into Project Stock.
While assigning the material to the Network activity in Project (using material component) the system uses the price found in the material master (MAP or STD) as a planned cost appended to the project.
Problem:
while procuring the material, when we receive it into Project Stock (Mvt 101 Q + ) the Moving Average Price in the material master does not get updated. this way all newly created material master will never have a moving average price, thus whenever we try to assign them to the project we receive an error message (Cost for Material Component ###Mat.Num### cannot be determined.
Question:
How can I get the system to update moving average price (for all types of stock) based on procurement for project stock.???
Your help is kindly appreciated.

I'm sorry for the confusion
Case:
The T-code is CJ20N Project Builder in PS module
we are assigning material components to network activities under a certain WBS element in the project.
there is a function in the Project Builder to calculate the cost of a network. it uses the costing variant assigned to the network which is PS02 (We get the error here)
The costing variant has a valuation variant which lists a series of strategies to get the material price. Planned 1 if not then STD if not then MAP. (you can choose between many options via a drop down menu) you can choose 5 consequent options.
The MAP that the valuation variant is coded to get is the Plant Stock MAP -- Or the Project Stock MAP but only Per WBS element.
The MAP that the Actual postings update is the Project Stock MAP only Per WBS element.
This means that if you use a material component to purchase material 123 Acc.As. Q for WBS X for 10 $ then you try to assign a new material component with the same material 123 to WBS Y, the system will not get a MAP. because it's stored in QBEW per WBS element.
This way the system will never get the MAP right.
However, we don't always use project stock to procure for projects, for some requirements we can assign and use plant stock as well for Projects. that way we need the MAP from plant stock.
In the Valuation Variant you can use a User Exit Strategy. The user exit's name is COPCP005
My Suggestion is:
Use the User Exit COPCP005 to calculate the { Total value / the total quantity (MAP) from QBEW + Total value / total quantity (MAP) from MBEW } / 2
which is the MAP for both plant and project stock together, since that we are going to use both.
Q: Is this correct !?
