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.

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 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

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.

Vaibhav Mahajan

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

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.
best regards,
Udo

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 in case of goods receipt with free of charge

Hello everyone,
Need some inputs......
Sometimes we receive materials from suppliers free of charge (e.g. warranty replacement) u2013 moving average goes down u2013 worst case 0,01 EUR/piece. This causes problems in government reporting and export documentation EX1 and clearance/pro-forma invoice) for deliveries to field engineers (Order type ZIS1, ZIS3 u2013 item cat. ZICA), because moving average price is used for the values in government reporting and on the invoices. In government reporting and on invoices we need to state a true value of the part.On the other hand, the value warehouse stock is depending on the moving average cost as well.Could you please let me know, how to handle such receipts from the supplier to have a correct stock value and correct values on invoices and government reporting?
Thanks
Deepthi...

Hello Deepthi,
It depends on your company policy. If you want to valuate the material along with the material purchased handled in moving average price, free consignment will bring down the MAP for the material.
In that case, you can revaluate the material to the original price in MR21 transaction.
If you are not going to handle the materials received free of charge along with the purchased material, you can go with another material code, with non valuated material type.
But i guess, no company will be asking for another material code. So go for revaluation after the receipt of free consignment.

Moving Average Price for Sales stock and Project stock of a material

Hiya Gurus,
                 I am developing a report to display inventory details. My requirement is that I have to display the Moving average price of a material for all Valuation type. I also need to display the Moving average price if a material has got Project stock or Sales stock.
                 In MBEW table I can get the Valuation type and its Moving average price, but how can I find the moving average price for the same material if it has got Sales stock and project stock. Please let me know the table and field where I could get the relevant data.
                Kindly help me on this, it would be deeply appreciated.
Cheers,

Moving Average Price tolerances for intercompany transfers

We are looking to utilize the tolerance limit settings for GR's to prevent entry mistakes from affecting moving average prices severly. I have sucessfully tested this process by triggering a warning/error message at the time of a goods receipt, but have been unable to trigger a warning/error for intercompany transfers.
Is this configuration in the OMC0 settings, in config, or somewhere else?
Thanks very much for any feedback.
Matt

HI Jurgen,
Thanks for your reply.
1. We have maintained the price control as V
2. You have mentioned "However it is as well possible to enter an external value in the movement (if enabled in customizing). then the movement is valuated with this value and the MAP in material master is adjusted."
Where to checl in IMG for the above ?
3. We did goods issue in the previous period 12/2011 but doing the GR in current period 01/2012. Do we need to maintain MAP for both the periods ?
If you can please tell us what is the standard process to carry out such activity ?

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

Moving average price not calculated properly

Hi,
For a consumable material moving average price(MAP) is getting calculated wrongly.
There are 2 goods receipts taken in Jan'08 and Feb'08 at a unit price of 1250 and 1450 INR.
Then there are around 10 Goods issues for a cost centre, Mvt type 201 taken for next few months.
The MAP value has been calculated properly after the Goods issues.
Again there was a goods recipt in Oct'08 for 1275 INR.
The goods issue done in Nov'08 has created a problem and it has calculated wronlgy i.e. instead of Rs. 800, the system has calculated issue price as Rs.3500.
No value has been changed in MR21. No PO's has been created between these days.
Can anyone help us...??
Regards,
Ramya

Hi Ramya,
You have informed in your thread that "for a consumable material..", If a material is procured for direct consumption, the consumption accounts in Financial Accounting are posted when the goods receipt is entered . The total quantity and value of existing stocks of the material are not affected. There is no Goods Issue.
Now, if you procure the material for stock, then changes in Material Valuation due to goods receipts and invoice receipts are carried out automatically (ofcourse manually also) when the relevant transaction is posted.
The extent to which the stock value changes depends on the sequence in which the goods receipts and invoice receipts are posted. The SAP System allows for both possibilities:
- When goods are received before the invoice, the stipulations in the purchase order are used as the basis for posting.
- When the invoice is received before the goods, the details on the invoice are used as the basis for posting.
So, please look into the Invoices and the relevant GR/IR clearing account details. You may get a clue there.
Regards,
Narayana.

Moving average price and returns to vendor

Hello gurus,
Ive got a question concerning material valuation and returns to vendor.
E.g. we have got 200 pieces of a material with a moving average price of 2 $ each.
Now, what happens if I return 100 of those to my vendor who pays 2.10$ each for them?
In my view, there are several possibilities:
- Nothing happens, the moving average price is not changed at all, value of the goods is 200$ afterwards.
- New value of the goods is 400$ - (100 * 2.10$) = 190 $. This would mean that the moving average price is 1.90 $.
- Last delivered price was e.g. 2.20$, more than 100 pieces were delivered, so the new value of the goods is 400$ - (100 * 2.20$) = 180$, new moving average price is 1.80$.
So my question is: What is standard in SAP?
Thanks
Jens

This is what my thought is
When you return the material to vendor then system take the same valuation as your MAP
and when you buy new goods then it will count based on the
e.g. existing stock is 100 and value is 1000 means valuation is 10 a peice
in you but another 100 at 1200 then valuation is 2200/200 = 11
When a material is subject to moving average price control, the system calculates values for goods movements in the following way:

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
Bala

Moving average price calculation logic of material with Price Control "S"

Dear Gurus,
As you know that there is a Moving price and standard price icon in the material master.
I want to understand the calculation logic of the moving average price of the materials having price control "S"
How the system calculates the MAP for standard price materials? The receipt from the process order I suppose is valuated at the process order cost after settlement, but if the issue has hapened for the material does the system recalculate the issue price also?
Below is the sample process order receipt and issue scenario:
Receipt from process order 161000000223
300 kg and GR at standard cost value is Rs 5892
Issue to process order 162000000294
250 kg and GI at standard cost value is Rs 4910.
Thus the balance at period end is 50 kg and balance at standard cost value is Rs 982.
Here in process order 161000000223 the actual cost is 10 Rs. Then how will the system calculate the MAP?
Thanking You,
Amit Dhanurdhari

Hi
Try the following calculations,
One of them will work depending upon your version and support pack
Expected MAP calculation ( As with price control V)
= ((Qty before transaction*MAP + Transaction Qty * transaction
Price)) / quantity after transaction
New Method ( when price control is S)
= Old MAP + (Price Variance w.r.t Standard Price/Qty after transaction)
Also go through the following notes,
Note 1225167
1253944
