Price control change

Hi Experts,
How to change the price control for a Raw material from Standard to Moving Avg Price (Material Ledger Active Status).
This Raw materials having last year in Standard, now wants to change as per the requirement to MAP. Please advice.
Regards,
Raghav

Hi Experts,
My scenario is our company using ECC6.0, and the material ledger is activated.
Wrongly last fiscal year for one plant nearly 50+ materials created under standard price with price determination as 2.
(ROH - with Price control 'S' + Price Deterimination = 2) and all the materials having stock and values, transactions is going on.
Now we realized that the raw materials created wrongly in standard price and want to change the price control and price determination. If we change the materials determination and control in CKMM what is the next impact for calculating next prices through cost estimates (CKMLCP or CK40N) and is it suggestable to do?
We need your valuable inputs / advices....
Thanks and Regards,
Raghav.

Change of price control from "s" to "v" in the material master

Dear All,
Due to business requirement, we would like to change the price control for FERT items in the material master from "S-Standard Cost" to "V-Moving Average Price". This change we would like to do only at sales plants (Non-Manufacturing Locations). Very few materilas are having the stock on the date of the price control change
I would like to know is there any SAP Note / Any of you are having such experience? Please arrange the same.
Regards
Anilkumar

Hi,
i am not sure about any program but through MR21 you can change tthe Price in material master.
If stock is available system will hit to closing stock of the material for price change in case stock is not available it will hit price difference gl account.

Moving average price as price control in material master: Erroneous entries

Dear All,
Recently we did a price control change from standard price to moving average price for one of our clients and scenario testing was done. We came across the following issue at the IR point and this error occur time to time ( not for all POs )Following steps were followed
Scenario
1. Create a PO for 1000 Kg of material A @ 1USD
2.GR the purchase order- at this point correct values are passed to stock account
3.consumed 250 Kg from the above material and from the same batch- correct values are passed to the accounts correctly
4.invoice verification is done for the above PO with a price variance of 100 USD. The error occur at this time ( some times )
Correct entry:
Dr GR/IR account 1000
Dr Stock account 75 (Price variance is charged proportionately charge to the balance stock)
Dr price variance 25 (Price variance is charged proportionately on the consumed stock)
Cr Vendor 1100
But sometimes the value does not pass accurately for the same PO. Accounting entries are as follows.
( this is same scenario with new purchase order with different master records )
Dr GR/IR account 1000
Dr Stock account 100 (Total price variance is charged to the stock account and its incorrect this should be only 75 as explain above )
Cr Vendor 1100
This error occurs sometimes even though the vendor master record and purchase orders are sand same as the time of pass correct entries . All these time GR based invoice verification tick has activated in PO as well as vendor master .
Appreciate your advice.
Tks

Thank you for the information. But this is not the system behavior , system proportionately add the price variance to the stock qty which is remaining in the stock also it proportionately charge the price variance to the price variance account which is consumed before the invoice verification.But time to time it passes the incorrect entries.
eg , Create a PO for 100KG @ 1USD
       GR                     100KG
       Consumed           25
      IR , here we IR at higher value than the PO price
     PO value is USD 100
    IR    value    USD 100 + 12 = 112
Correct IR entry : Vendor              CR    112
                             GR/IR                 Dr    100
                             Stock                 DR      8 ( 75% of the stk is reaming in stk so relevant variance is USD 8 )
                             Price variance   DR      4 ( 25% of the consumed , so relevant variance is USD 4 )
And this is accurate with accounting principles and standards .
Actually system correctly calculate the above entries . but some times it pass the incorrect entry , this is my issue.
In the erroneous entry it does not segregate the price variance , If we consider the same scenario as above at the time of erroneous entry the system pass entries as below:
                            Vendor              CR    112
                             GR/IR                 Dr    100
                             Stock                 DR     12 ( add 100% which is incorrect )
This is incorrect .

Change of price control in material master

Hi, SAP experts,
We have business scenario where the procurement type in MRP-2 view of material master gets changed from F to E that is an externally procured item will be manufactured inhouse.
In such case in costing view the price control needs to be changed from V to S. If both MAP & std. price are not identical, system is not allowing to change. Secondly since the item will be manufactured inhouse from now onwards, I have to run the cost estimate & update the master.
How do I deal with the situation.
Valuable advice is awaited.

T.S.Shankar

Hi Shankar,
When the price control indicator is "V", system will allow changing the Standard price manually through Transaction code MM02.
Similarly when the price control indicator is "M", system will allow changing the Moving average price manually through Transaction code MM02.
Hope this clarifies

*How to change the Valuation Category & Price control in material master*

Hello SAP Gurus,
I have a requirement to change the valuation category from 'X' to ' ' in accounting view of material master.
-> I have cancelled all the open PO's & SO's for the material
-> I have ensured that there is no stock for the material in that valuation area.
But still I get an error message that batch already exists for the material. When I check entries in MCHB I find that there are previous entires in MCHB with zero stock.
I have gone through the SAP note 155874 which recomends the archiving the effected objects.
Please let me know is there any work around to change the valuation category from 'X' to ' ' & price control 'V' to 'S'. I also need to change from ' ' to 'X' for a few materials.
Thanks for your advise.
Best Regards,
Narayan.

Note 155874 cleary describes what has to be done to be able to change.
There is no workaround, and if you change anything in the tables directly, then this will cause inconsitencies, as described in this note as well.

Change of Price Control indicator.

Hi,
Under what conditions a maerial price control indicator can be changed from 'S' to 'V" and vice versa.
Regards,
R. Dillibabu.

Hi,.
If the material is split valuated you can ONLY change the V to an S on the accounting views that have a valuation type specified.
You CANNOT under ANY circumstances change the V to an S on the "higher level" accounting view of a split valuation managed material (the higher level accounting view is the one where you do not specify a valuation type.).
The reason you cannot is due to the fact that each valuation type below this higher level can have a different price and different stock quantities and so the higher level HAS to be an AVERAGE of the lower levels, managed by the system.
There is no reason why you would ever want to change the higher level view from a V to an S because this view is not used for anything. It simply stores the average price and total value of stock across all valuation types. It is not used in any business transactions.
Why do you want to change it from a V to an S?

Changing price control indicator and posting difference to sperate account

Dear Guru's
Need your advice on how to handle the following scenario. Company wants to change the Price ontrol indicator in a material from V(moving price average) to S(Standard cost).However there is stock in the inventory for this item.Additionally they also want to change the price of the item with the difference posted to a seperate balence sheet account.

Hello
While changing the price control, the moving average price becomes the standard price, which is then used for valuation.
You change the type of price control by overwriting the price control indicator in the material master record with the new indicator.
Changing the type of price control for a material does not change the value of the material stock, since in both cases the current price becomes the new price.
For changing the material price, use revaluation MR21.
At the time of price change, for a material subject to standard price control, the material debit or credit is posted to a price difference account. The offsetting entry is made to an income or expense account. Consequently, a material debit or credit for a material subject to standard price control does not lead to a revaluation.

Price control cannot be changed (cost control split exist)

Hi FI Experts,
When changing the price control field in material master through MM02 from "V" to "S" , the following message is displayed.
"Price control cannot be changed (cost control split exist)".
What should i do to avoid this?
Regards,
Sudarshan

Hi Sudharshan,
Before changeing the Price Control from V to S please check the Moving Price and Std.Price is equal or not.
This is one of the reason for that.

Change price control V to S

Hi there:
We wanted to change price control type from V to S and also need to input 20 usd as standard price, so I went ot mm02 to change price control V to S, after that,I used mr21 to update standard price, then I saw price change document posted, do I need to change other area? Please advise.

Hi,
From standard price to moving average price
You can make this change at any time. The moving average price (which until now has been updated for informational purposes only) replaces the standard price and is used for valuation from now on.
From moving average price to standard price
You cannot make this change in the following two cases:
If the material master record is set up as a valuation header record for a material subject to split valuation For more information, see Split Valuation.
If the standard price comes from costing and is not equal to the moving average price
If the change is possible, the moving average price becomes the standard price, which is then used for valuation.
You change the type of price control by overwriting the price control indicator in the material master record with the new indicator.
Changing the type of price control for a material does not change the value of the material stock, since in both cases the current price becomes the new price.

To change the price control of a material from "V" to "S"

Dear all,
I am facing an issue regarding Master's change.Actually ,In Material master i have to change the price control of a material from "V" to "S"& the standard price too. But when i am trying to do the same ,system is showing me an error as "Standard cost estimate exists in period 03 2007 "
Plz suggest sol !!

Hi,
To clarify one point,
You do not make the change via material types. As long as you are not using standard costing you can change the S to a V or the V to an S at any time even if stock and Open POs exist.
The material type config merely controls which is defaulted (an S or a V) and can be set to block changes if you don't want it to be chnaged.
But in most material types it is open for imput.
If the material is subject to split valuation then you cannot change it to an S, it MUST be a V if the material has a valuation category (i.e. is split-valuated).

Change price control indicator from standard price to moving avg price.

Hi All,
There is a material which has a negative stock for the previous period and the previous period is already closed.
When i want to change the price control indicator from S to V for that material in the current period, it shows an error that "negative stock is there, unable to change price indicator".
Kindly help me to solve this issue.
Thanks,
AK

the price control indicator can be changed from standard price to moving avg price at any time .......with some restrictions.
And one of these restriction is the one you see.
You must not have negative stock.
Hence you have to make the negative stock zero
Since your negative stock is in the previous period, you either have to allow posting into previous periods (trx MMRV , of course Finance has to allow this as well) first. Then you can post e.g. a 202 movement with previous period date which has a quantity that equals your negative quantity. then you change your price control, then you do a 201 movement (again with previous period date), finally you can restrict posting into previous periods again in MMRV.
or you just wait a few days, then with the month end closure your curent period becomes previous period and hopefully you will not have negative stocks again. then you can change the price control without any problem (I usually take care that moving average and standard price are equal befor I change the price control)

For pricing control 'S' Moving average price is changing automatically.

Dear All,
I have maintained the pricing control 'S' For finished goods. and the standard price also maintained for the same. we are not doing purchase for this material. only production and sales happening for this material.
but for this material MAP is gone upnormally..
it should not update MAP for this material. why MAP is gone upnormally?..
i have checked in the following steps:
1. i have analysed MB51 everything gone correcdtly with correct value.
2. i have downloaded the MR51 material accounting documents its also updated correct value..
why MAP is gone up normally...
Regards
Anand

Hi Anand,
As very well being explained by so many people, when ever you take S as price control, and maintain the standard Unit price, then syatem will keep on updating the MAP(V), but it will be of no relevance, all the transaction will be based on the standard moving price.
whereas when you maintain the MAP(V), then there will be no Standard price,
this is the standard functionality,
as you are saying that MAP is increasing continously, there might have been some mistake in any transections, like GR with wrong price, please check that also, it will also result in increased MAP, whereas standard price will not chage.
hope it helps,
YK

Price control at the time of GR

Hi
There is a requirement to control the price based on the document date entered at the time of GR.
The document date is nothing but the delivery challan date of the supplier.
The requirement is due to frequent change in prices and retrospective price changes are to be addressed.
Is there any userexit or note which can help achieve the above requirement.
Thanks
Rahul

Hi Merwyn
The example you have provided is the issue why i am unable to use the price control category 5 in the infor record or PO.
Here the requirement is as below:
Price valid from 01.08.2008 to 31.08.2008--- Rs 25
Price valid from 01.09.2008 to 30.09.2008--- Rs 28
The vendor delivery challan is dated 30.08.2008
The material reaches the customer on 02.09.2008
The GR is prepared in the system with
Document date - 30.08.2008
Posting Date -- 02.09.2008
The GR value taken is Rs 28...but this will create problem in IR.
Hence the requirement is to determine the basic price on the document date i.e the delivery challan date of the vendor.
Thanks
Rahul

Price Control Date as GR Date in Purchase Order?

Hello Friends.
We have a requirement where we need to take the price at the time of GR. I have tried to set the Price control date as GR date (5) in Purchase order, Info Record and even in Vendor Master. Unfortunately, it is always taking the price as P.O. price and it is not taking the price which changes between P.O. Release and GR date.
I made several P.O.'s and did GR for the same with less quantity. Then i made changes in the Inforecords and again did GR for the same P.O. It took the price from the P.O. only. Albeit I set the Price determination date as GR Date in P.O., Inforecord and vendor master too. We have requirement of not changing the P.O. once it is created and we dont want to change the price in P.O. once we do one GR for a particular P.O.. We need to re-determine the price at the time of GR without changing the price in P.O. as it require several authorizations.
I need to know if I am missing any setting in P.O., Info-record, Vendor master or any changes required in customizing. Or I need to install any enhancement package for the same.
This is a very critical requirement and hence request MM consultants to provide their valuable inputs.
Regards
Gurcharan

how did you test? did you always create new POs after your changes in master data? Or did you just expect that the existing PO would automatically get to know about such changes?
Was the existing PO price found from the info record? Can you proof that from the analysis in the condition tab?
