Price controll indicators
Hi,
In our config settings, price control indicator does not default to material master based on the material type. The indicator V (moving average) / S (Standard price) can be edited while updating material master.
How can we overcum the issue ?
SAP standard makes it optional to change the price indicator, while you are in MM02.
However, if, after having defaulted the price control indicator through configuration, you have compelling business reason to make the field display, You can do that display only for MM02. The t-code is OMS9. The concerned field is MBEW-VPRSV which, in standard, is included in the field group no. 32.
By the configuration Price Control Mandatory check box in the define attr. of material type, you make the value default <b>if you do not check that box</b>. If you want to make it always S or V then tick that box.

Query for MAP Calculation - Price Control ind V and S
SAP Guru's
Query regarding MAP Calculation Logic
Scenario:
*I have one material xyz
1. It is split valuated material,
2. Two valuation types with diff price control indicators
3. Batch Management is also activated on this material.*
Follwoing is the Material Master Accounting1 View :
Vauation Type Price Control Total Value Qty MAP Batch
ZA1 V 610835.00 37 16509.05(V) 01
ZB1 S 0 1 20000.00(S) 02
but when we are running MM03 w/o Valuation Type Accounting 1 View
is showing MAP as 16074.60 i.e. 610835.00/38
Diff. Reports Output------>
MB5L - List of Stock Values: Balances --> Output
ValArea Total Stock Total Value
A101 1 0
A101 37 610835.00
Net--> 38 610835.00
MB52 - Display Warehouse Stocks
Check Box - Display Batch Stocks
Condition1: When Display Batch Stocks is selected on main screen of MB52
Mat. Palnt Sloc Unrestricted Stck in Transit Total Value
xyz A101 0010 0 30 482238.00
XYZ A101 0010 7 0 115563.00
xyz A101 0010 1 0 0
This is not correct result as Total Values is 597801.00 only
Condition2: When Display Batch Stocks is not selected on main screen of MB52
Mat. Palnt Sloc Unrestricted Stck in Transit Total Value
xyz A101 0010 0 30 482238.00
XYZ A101 0010 8 0 128597.00
This is correct result as Total Values is 610835 .00 only
So my query on above issue is :
1. How System is including 1 Qty of Std Price Control for MAP calculation?
As per my understanding MAP is only for Price Control V indicator Materials Stock
2. Whats the difference between these two report output from MM03 Accounting
view?
Thankshi Animesh,
For Split Valuated Material at header level Price control is always "V" i.e. Moving average price reagrdless of the Price control you have given for different valuation types.
Due to this you are getting these kind of results. Please visit the following link for more information

Hi All,
I am new to SAP MM,
What is the main difference between standard price and moving average price, And While I am creating the Material (Material Type is Drinks) it will take Moving Average Price(V) Only, We cant able to change this, Why?
Thanks in advance,
Sudheer.HI,
Use
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.
Integration
You determine the price control that should be used for a material when you create the material and enter the accounting data for it. You enter one of the following indicators in the Price control field to determine how the price is controlled:
S for standard price control
V for moving average price control
Standard Price
All inventory postings are carried out at the standard price
Variances are posted to price difference accounts
Variances are updated
Price changes can be monitored
If a material is assigned a standard price (S), the value of the material is always calculated at this price. If goods movements or invoice receipts contain a price that differs from the standard price, the differences are posted to a price difference account. The variance is not taken into account in valuation.
Moving Average Price
Goods receipts are posted at the goods receipt value.
The price in the material master is adjusted to the delivered price.
Price differences occur only in exceptional circumstances.
Manual price changes are usually unnecessary. However, they are possible.
If a material is assigned a moving average price (MAP), the price is automatically adjusted in the material master record when price variances occur. If goods movements or invoice receipts are posted using a price that differs from the moving average price, the differences are posted to the stock account; as a result, the moving average price and the value of the stock change.
If drinks is your material type then what habe you defined price control in OMS2? from which material type did you copy to create drinks as your material type?
Thanks & Regards,

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
Sandagomi
Edited by: Sandagomi Ranasinghe on May 9, 2010 9:25 AMThank 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 . -
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 DhanurdhariHi
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,

Actual Cost of Product with Price control "S"
Dear Gurus,
Is there any report available where we can know the Actual Costs of Materials with Price Control "S".
In the material master field the actual cost in the "Moving Price Tab" of the material with Price Control "S" is available, but is there any report available for plant level?
Thanks & Regards,
Amit Dhanurdhari.Hi Amit,
-- Under Standard Costing, you value your inventory at Standard Costs and any variances in Production Process will be settled to Price Difference Account. You will not be able to find out actual cost per unit. In Multi-level BOM scenario under Standard Costing (CO-PC), variances don't get rolled-up to the next level, only costs get rolled-up.
-- Under Actual Costing - Material Ledger, You will be able to find out the Actual Cost per Unit. Variances get rolled-up to the next level.
To explain difference between Standard Costing in CO-PC and Material Ledger briefly....
You have given Price Indicator as "S" in the material master of "X" material (semi finisher or finished) and you are doing Standard Cost Estimate for arriving at Standard Cost per tonne. Let's say, the Standard Cost per tonne is Rs.1000/-
Now, when you created production order for 10 tonnes and received output of 10 tonnes (GR). But the total cost incurred on that production order is Rs.1100/-. In this situation, actual cost per tonne is Rs.110.
But, because you are following Standard Costing, When you post GR against this Production Order, inventory will be posted at Standard cost only, i.e., Rs.1000/-. and the balance of Rs.100 will be posted to Price Difference Account. (and parallally the variance of Rs.100/-) will flow to COPA.
So, it is clear that, though, at Production Order level you can see the actual cost, at "material" level, you will not be able to see the actual cost per tonne.(as long as you are using only Product Costing and Standard Costing)
Alternatively, if you maintain Price Indicator as "V", you will able to get the Actual Cost per tonne at material level, but there will be no scope for establishing standard cost and comparison with actual thereof.
But, the same is possible if you are using Material Ledger (CO-ML). If Material Ledger is active, you will be maintaining "S" in the material master, still, the variances will be settled inventory and you will be able to get the actual cost per tonne. (bothe Standard cost estimate, actual cost per tonne will be possible).
Pls revert back for further explanation

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.
Regds
T.S.ShankarHi 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

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
RahulHi 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

Hi,
Can anybody tell me what is reason for the SAP standard setting for GR of free material
if price control is moving average - only the stock quantity is updated.
if standard price control both stock and value of material is updated.
Regards,
SachinIn case of std price yr stock will get updated with this price whatever may be the case..
MAP--in this case whatever the current price of posting stock will be added to previous price with this current price..
This is the concept of MAP & STD price.. -
Settling production variances when the price control of the material is "V
Hi,
Scenario: 1) Materials are maintained at moving average price.
2) Production variances need to settle to material and MAP need to be adjusted.
Issue: When the closing stock of the material is less than the negative variance need to be settled from the production order the system is giving the message "Moving average price for material is negative"
Questions: 1) What is the solution for settlement of negative variance to material when there is no stock?
2) Is there is any way to settle these variances to price difference account only when the stock is not available. if stock is available the variance has to adjust the stock, if not settle to the price difference account. Is there anys standard settling for this?
Advance thanks for your help
Regards
Koteswararao PadartiHi Rao
You should never have Price Control V for In House made material...
That will ruin your 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. 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

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
AnilkumarHi,
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.

FREIGHT COST TO BE ADDED TO MATERIAL VALUE FOR PRICE CONTROL"S"
hi,
How to add the frieght cost to material cost for the materials with "S" price control While doing MIGO ?
Edited by: ARITRA MUKHERJEE on Mar 3, 2010 5:07 PMHi
By stating Price control Indicator S ,it means that you are valuating your inventory at a standard or Fixed price (As maintainred in the Material master ).Hence your Inventory will be valuated at the standard price no matter what additional expenses you incur

*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.
