Moving Average Price Verification - How to verify the MAP calculation

Hello,
The material that we purchase are managed with the price control S. Therefore every Good entry and Good Issue is valuated at the standard price regarding the Balance sheet valuation.
At the End of the Month during the Month End closing, the MRN0 transcation is applied to identify the MAP unit price of a Material and this value is copied in the Tax Price 1 of the accounting view 2 (MBEW-BWPRS).
Afterwards, the transaction MRN9 is carried out to calculate the MAP adjustment to amend the Balance Sheet valuation in order to get the MAP valuation of the Material.
I know that way of the calulation of the MAP unit price based on the Good receipt and the Invoice receipt variance.
I have 2 issues regarding this process:
--> The MAP adjustment is recorded by valuation class whereas it would be helfull to have the recording of the MAP adjustment by Material
==> Do you know an other way to solve this issue
--> It's impossible to verify the MAP unit price calculation during the month
==> Do you know a SAP table (not the MBEWH, which is not usefull) which track for each stock movement (Good issue or good entry) the Total MAP value and Total quanity before the movement plus the MAP value and the quantity of the movement
Thank you in advance
Regards

Moving average price variance in Invoice verification

Hello,
I set in sys that the moving average of price variance will be check in tolerance of x% (lower & upper limit) BUT the system ignore it , when I save an Invoice (MIRO) with price that change the moving average price for more than X% the invoice was saved with no W/E massage . I set all massages that seams to be relevant with E but nothing was happened .
What is the way to set the system that in Invoice verification stage it will check the moving average price variance and give an alert or will not let the invoice to be post ???
Best Regards
Idit

Hi,
You can block Invoices using transaction code OMC0
(a) Use Tolerancy Key VP for your company code
(b) Fill-up Lower and Upper check tolerance limit %
When a stock posting line is created as a result of an invoice item, the system calculates the new moving average price that results from the posting. It compares the percentage variance of the new moving average price to the old price using the percentage tolerance limits defined.

Updating the material moving average price in return to vendor process

Hello,
Our finance department is saying that the affect on the moving average price in our return to vendor process is wrong.
At the moment the moving average price is changed according to the material price in the return PO.
Our financial department says that the moving average price shouldn't be affected at all by a return to vendor.
Can someone tell me how to customize the system according to this request?
Thanks,
Sivan

Dear Friend,
In COOIS Report or MB51 report, Select the list as Documented goods movement and in production order field give the production order number and execute. After executing, if any goods receipt has been done for the same than system will show the same with these it will also show the value of the same. If its not showing than go to change layout and select the same.
Thanks and Regards,

Abnormality in Statistical Moving Average Price

Hi All,
I have a material maintained with standard price "S". Statistical Moving Average Price of the material has gone abnormally after 6 months of creation of material. Thisi is causing dump in posting goods movement as the system is calculating moving average price and there is a field over flow so the screen is going to dump while posting goods movement due to some price variance.
I have seen MBEWH and MBEW, there I saw huge variances recorded in statistical MAP of material
Here I know there is one SAP note suggests the solution how to correct this.
But I am concerned with route cause analysis; I have verified the following and found every thing is OK, only there are small price variances which can never cause huge abnormality in statistical moving average price.
I have verified
(a) Changes in Material Master MAP field
(b) MB51 - All goods movements related to that material - No abnormal price variances
(c) ME2M to see in any purchasing documents, if price is given in USD or Euro; but it is not so
Is there any thing I missed, could you please suggest.
Rgds
Raul

this is usually caused by the fact that the PO price was wrong at the time when the GR was posted.
This PO price gets changed later by purchasing guys to allow posting of the invoice without variance.
Hence you have to check PO document change history to find the PO which was adjusted in the price.
MR51 should show you that the GR was posted with a small value. Download MR51 to Excel and calculate the MAP for each line, this will show you which one has an exceptional MAP.

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,
ZIa

Hi
can you look at tables
EBEW                             Sales Order Stock Valuation

Import material moving average price is showing negitive.

Dear GURUS
I have aproblem in Import material moving average price problem
My user put the amount 10000 EUROS instead of 10000 INR in P.O ,
I am getting the below mentioned error.
Moving average price for material is negative: 2428014263 1100 SPR_IMP
Message no. M8783
Diagnosis
     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
     message even though it is defined as a warning message in the standard
     system.
     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.

MTS variances with moving average price

Hi expert,
Is it possible to satisfy this requirement for cost estimate and variances in make to stock scenario ?
-Actual cost at Moving average price for all article
-Calculate cost estimate for articles and write it on standard price field with strategy that read also standard price
-Calculate planning and production variances for all the Make to Stock PP order?but stock must be update with Moving average price.
My doubt is how can i have variances detailed if i manage article with Moving average price.
How can I have variances as "statistics" otherwise I would have double costs.
thanks

HI
If you manufacture some thing, its price control should never be V, else it ruins the inventory valuation forever
Consider the eg below if your price control is V
1. Your moving price in mat master is 100 USD
2. You Mfr on Jan 1 @ Actual cost = 110 in Prod order and Qty = 1.
Upon GR, GR will happen @ 100 and at period end if Qty is lying in stock, 10 variance will also be inventorized
BUT, now consider this
1. Your moving price in mat master is 100 USD
2. You Mfr on Jan 1 @ Actual cost = 110 in Prod order and Qty = 1.
Upon GR, GR will happen @ 100 and variance lying is 10 in prod order
3. You Mfr on Jan 10 @ Actual cost = 110 in Prod order and Qty = 1.
Upon GR, GR will happen @ 100 and variance lying is 10 in prod order
4. On jan 15, you consume Qty 1 and qty lying in stock is 1
5. In period end, when you do settlement, following will happen
a. For prod order 1: Qty Mfd 1 and Qty lying in stock 1 - Result: variance 10 will be inventorized.
Mvg Avg price will shoot upto 110
b. For prod order 2: Qty Mfd 1 and Qty lying in stock 1 - Result: variance 10 will be inventorized.
Mvg Avg price (MAP) will shoot upto 120
System wont check whether the qty lying in stock pertains to prod order 1 or 2... It will simply check if the Qty of prod order matches with qty lying in stock. hence, it will keep on inventorizing variance in this case.... and your MAP will touch the sky

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.
sd/-
Rajesh

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.

SBO - Shift from Standard Price to Moving Average Price

Hello,
My customer has created few items with Std Price.
There was not item cost allocated to them and they discovered that the cost of good sold is fully allocated to purchase price variance.
Now, few logistical movements have been done on these items and they want to shift from Std price to Moving average price.
How can we do so since the field "Valuation Method" is no more updatable?
Thanks for your help
Stephane

The Valuation Method is modifiable only if the stock is zero and there is no open delivery or goods receipt transaction (which could modify or need the cost) for the item.

Costing material having moving average price

HI
My client is having business where prices fluctuates a lot and he wants to use moving average price for all materials including semi-finished and finished material.
My question is in this senario how to do configuration of product costing and how will i be able to calculate cost as far as product costing is concerned. client doesnt want to use material ledger.
Regards
Invin

Hi,
You can not carry out period product costing activity if the material has moving average price control.
If you set moving average price control to material master, the following activities control the moving average price
1. GR (if the value is different from PO price) Entry in MIGO
2. IR (if the value is different from PO price) Entry in MIRO (invoice posting)
3. Price change using (MR21 Tcode)
4. Debit/Credit Material (MR22 Tcode)
Prerequisited for Product costing with quantity structure
1. Material ledger should be active
2. Product should be allowed for cost estimate (setting in Material Master)
3. The master should have Standard price Control in the material master.
If you want to change the price of the semifinished product with moving average price (due to price fluctuation) use MR21 or MR22. But this activity involves lot of human effort.

Difference between Standard Pricing and Moving Average Price

Hi,
Would like to seek some advises on the difference between standard price and Moving average price.
also, how does it affect the account postings differently?
Thanks

Standard Price
Materials whose price control indicator is set to S are valuated in Financial Accounting (FI) at standard price.
This is recommended for semifinished products and finished products.
The moving average price is shown as a statistical value in the material master record.
The standard price is normally calculated using a standard cost estimate for the material. The standard price can also be calculated in a mixed cost estimate.
Moving Average Price
When materials whose price control indicator is set to V are received from in-house manufacturing processes, they are initially valuated with a value you defined (such as the standard price). When you settle, the material stock account is debited with the variances. This results in a new moving average price.
Valuating semifinished products and finished products with the moving average price is not recommended.

Indranil

Moving Average Price---Intercompany sales process

Hi,
I have a special requirement in Intercompany process..
I want the Ordering company to be charged with Moving Average Price of the Material instead of the Normal Price.
Can some on help me out with this?
Thanks,
Challa.

Hi,
In general i hope, system will not copy the moving average price from the material master through VPRS Condition. In case its not copied then you need to write the logic in alternative condition coloum to copy the moving averate price.
Please confirm whether VPRS is working for moving average price, if not then develop the logic as below -
based on Material and plant, go to table MBEW with selection as MATNR and WERKS bring the value from the field VERPR where VPRSV=V.
Plese confirm for my knowledge also

Standard and Moving average Price

Hi,
What is the Difference between Standard and Moving Avg Price, What are the Cases will we use Standard Price ,and what are cases shall we use Mov.avg Price, Please Explain me with Example.

Hi Lakshmi,
Moving average price is maintained for all the outside procured materials and standard price is maintained for all inhouse manufactured materials...
We need to run standard cost estimate monthly to update the prices of all the materials with price control S... Prices of materials with price control V will get updated as soon as we do GRN for the materials on the weighted average method...

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.

Moving average price effect due to 309 mvt type

Dear Experts,
when we do stock transfer (309 mvt type ) from mat A to mat B , moving average price of A gets copied to moving average price of B if the stock of material B is zero.
If there is stock for material B, moving average price of A gets added to the stock value of B & MAP is recalculated.
Is there a way to ensure when we do material stock transfer, same MAP price is also captured. please suggest.

for what reason should the price of the issuing material change?
can you proof what you wrote?
