Price control in material master.

Dear all,
How can i change the Price control key(V to S) in material master.
and what are the implication after change the price control.
Please suggest.
Regards,
Vishal Garg

Hello
In the SAP System, there are two types of price control:
Standard price & Moving average price.
These two types of price control differ in how they handle price variances resulting from goods receipts or invoice receipts.
Changing the Type of Price Control
Under certain conditions, you can change the type of price control:
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
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.
An example is given below:
Standard price to Moving average price
Material A
Price control: S
Moving average Price: 8
Standard Price: 10
Total Stock: 100
Total Stock value: 1000
Now we change the material price control to 'V'. Then
Material A
Price control: M
Moving average price:10
Standard price: 10
Total Stock: 100
Total Stock value: 1000
Moving average to standard price
Material B
Price control: V
Moving average Price: 8
Standard Price: 0
Total Stock: 100
Total Stock value: 800
Now we change the material price control to 'S'. Then
Material B
Price control: S
Moving average price:8
Standard price: 8
Total Stock: 100
Total Stock value: 800
Hope this will clear your doubts.

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.

Price updation in Material Master after confirmation

Dear Gurus,
When we create a production order for Semi finished which is maintained with Moving Average Price(MAP) in material master and we do confirmation of the order with "CO15'.
My client wants after goods receipts against 101 movement type the price should be up date in Material; Master immediately.
Regards
RAM

Hi,
I think this cant be done.
> My client wants after goods receipts against 101 movement type the price should be up date in Material; Master immediately.
How much MAP should be after GR? From where this value will come?
The accounting entries are passed on the basis of price maintained in the material master. The MAP is the input to the business activity. So as per my understanding the MAP cant be updated with GR against a production order.
Also, the costing run would update the standard price, and wont be helpful as the indicator would be 'V' in material master.
Hope it clears.
Regards,
Rohit.

Reg. price maintenance in material master and Costing

Dear Experts
I have maintained price for material in material master and costing,but when I create PO price didn't come from anywhere. Pls help me.
Thanks
Rajakumar.k

Dear Rajakumar,
The values that are maintained in the material master in costing view is considered only for costing
purpose.
Say while doing the cost estimate for a material using CK40N,a costing variant will be used and say For
Eg,PPC1,for this a valuation variant will be linked ,as per this valuation variant for costing purpose the
first priority would have been given to the planned price in the material master in costing 2 view.
So this value will be considered only for costing purpose.
For procurement related things you have to maintain a purchase info record for a material + vendor
combination in ME11 and a source list in ME01.
In the purchase info record you can maintain a price for buying the material from that vendor.
I hope this will clear your doubts.
Check and revert back.

Price zero in material master:MM01

When I create a material , system is asking moving avg price, std price (Accounting 1 view). It is mandatory. In some cases I want to maintain price as zero which system is not allowing. How to make system to accept proce as zero for a material.

Dear,
With a standard price S in Material master you can enter price as Zero but as soon as you enter Zero goes & SAP treat is as a blank field & issues a message "Enter a price" .However even if you don't enter price, you can save the material.
Or You can manually maintain the price for Material in t-code MR21 as zero.

Material valuation with respect planned price 1 in material master

Dear All,
     The costing variant PPC1 has been used for released cost estimate. In my scenario I want to create one more variant say ZPC1 where to calculate the value of the material from the planned price 1. In this case
1.     What should be the validity date mentioned in the material master for valuation
2.     The variant has been configured as
a.     Costing Type 12 Mod Std cost Est
i.     Price Update No Update
ii.     Save Parameter With Start of Period
iii.     Misc Cost Sheet
b.     Valuation Variant 001 Planned Valuation
i.     Material Valuation - Planned Price
ii.     Standard Price
c.     Date control
i.     From Date : Start of Current Posting Period
ii.     To Date : End of Current Posting Period
iii.     Qty Struc Date : Current Date
iv.     Val Date : Current Date
d.     Qty Structure Control (As PPC1)
3.     When I run the standard cost estimate with variant ZPC1 the system calculates the standard price of the material even when the price is mentioned in the planned price1.
How the variant should be created to capture the planned price for calculation when using the variant ZPC1.
Kindly help me in this regards

A/cing entry for price diff in Material master & PO when GR & IR

Hi Experts,
Need to know the accounting entries while goods receipt as well as invoice receipt when there is a difference in the price of Material master and the PO.
with regards
Ramesh Y

HI,
When goods is received then stock account gets debited, and GR/IR account gets credited, If there is a price difference then depending on price control maintained in material master i.e. if it is standard, then difference will go to Price difference account and if it is moving average price then it will be distributed to available provided there is sufficient stock.
When invoice is posted, then vendor gets credited and GR/IR account gets debited.
Hope it clarifies

Default Price Control in material type

While creating a material in particular material type is there any way that price control type i.e V or S can be configured for a particular material type.
Edited by: amitekum on Nov 3, 2010 1:00 PM

Hi,
You can maintain default price control indicator at the time of creating material master record.
If you user needs to change this indicator, they can change.
If Client is saying, don't want to allow these indicator change - You can control by maintaining material type settings.
Transcation : OMS2
Select your material type abd click on the details icon
In the Valuation block, maintain Price control field default as per ur requirement.
Price control = S or V
If you activated Priice ctrl mandatory check box, which is in the same block then Price control indiactor filed becomes displaymode in the material master record. No one can change default price control indicator.,

Moving avergae price updation in material master for project stock

Dear All,
My query is pertaining to updation of MAP( moving average price) for project specific procurement ( as project stock) for valuated project stock.
As definelty the cost of procurement gets consumed by project .but i want to know does the project stock procurement still updates the moving avergae price or not.
Ex:-Suppose MAP in material master is 10 USD ( with qty 1)and i procure the same material ( qty 1)for project with account assignment Q for 9 USD . now will the MAP in material master becomes 9.5 USD or it remains 10 usd.?
Please reply urgently
Regards
Amit

Hi Amit,
If your Project Stock is valuated, then, the valuation data for it is stored in a different table: QBEW.
The normal, anonymus warehouse stock (the unrestricted use stock which is not assigned to any project or to any sales order) has its valuation data stored in MBEW.
The "Accounting 1" view in the Material Master MM03 ONLY displays the data of MBEW.
In the material master you will never see the valuation data of the valuated project stock (table QBEW) or the valuated sales order stock (valuation indicator "M" - table EBEW).
The valuation data for the tables QBEW and EBEW can be seen in SE16 or in the transaction MBBS.
Also note that these valuated special stocks are managed independently of the normal stock. If, for example, you change the Moving Average Price of your normal stock in MBEW, this will not have any influence on your project stock, as the data is under a totally diferent table QBEW.
I hope this helps you,
Esther.

Price change in material master

Hi,
When does the moving average price change, if the PO price or the invoice price is different from the one in material master. Is it after the creation of PO, GR or invoice?
Thanks and regards
Aparna

Hi,
Moving Average price = Total Value
Total Stock
Moving average price updates once you make GR and IV
If you are making GR & IV for new po , then new moving average price of that material will be :
Total stock = stock already present in plant + GR made stock of that new po
Total Value = Total Value of the material in plant + Invoice amount for that new po
Thanks & Regards

Shall v maintain price control for material type with plant specific ?

Hai Guru,
In OMS2, we change HALB price control [valuation] as V or S. whether shall v maintain this for plant specific.?
Kindly guide
With Regards
Swetha

Hi
if you do not make the indicator Price control manadatory active then you can have different price indicator for each plant. However thsi indicator is never done plant specific. If you wish to have plant specific then you may have to have a new material type and again you need to control the MM01 creation for that particular plant by means of Authorisation control which is littel involved also but can be done.
