Price difference account posting for return of goods using MR11

HI SAP Expert
When we are running MR11 for goods receipt transaction system is posting reversal document to price difference account instead of inventory account.
In this case relevant details are :-
Price control for Material is S .
PO QTY 190( Purchase order is of M category with sales order linked)
GR qty 190
IR qty 20
Return Qty (ACCM) using MR11 :-170
PO price :-84.74
Standard price : 81.99
GR price :-84.74
When a document is posted using MR11 for reversing goods it has posted value : 14,405.80(170*84.74) to price difference account instead of material account. What could be reason for system behaviour.

  • PRD-Auto Post price differences to different price difference accounts

    Dear all,
    As I know, in Account Automatic Posting, the transaction key  PRD is for Cost price Difference.
    If I want to post price differences to different price difference accounts in the case of goods receipts for different cost in purchase orders, How can I configure it?
    Example, in PO, there is 2 costs: Freight (F) and Insurance(I) are key in as Condition Type.
    I would like to post price difference from F to account XXX, and  price difference from I to account YYY.
    Can I configure like this?
    Thank you very much for your support!

    Hello,
    What is price difference.
    Price differences arise for materials valuated at standard price in the case of all movements and invoices with a value that differs from the standard price. Examples: goods receipts against purchase orders (if the PO price differs from the standard pricedardpreis), goods issues in respect of which an external amount is entered, invoices (if the invoice price differs from the PO price and the standard price).
    Price difference in genereal will not trigger for the materials with price control V ( Moving average price) but however
    Price differences can also arise in the case of materials with moving average price if there is not enough stock to cover the invoiced quantity. In the case of goods movements in the negative range, the moving average price is not changed. Instead, any price differences arising are posted to a price difference account
    For you example, you have you are having PO with Freight (F) and Insurance(I), these are called pallned delivery costs, not Price difference,
    so create two different condition type for Freight and insurance and assign two different G/L accounts for these condition types in account determination.
    While posting system will hit perticular G/L acconut.

    Hello,
    I think While crdeit memo system will hit Price differe account, Please clarify how the Subsequent debit/Credit works.
    Suppose you have ordered 100 kg of a material. The vendor invoiced you $1 a kg, being an invoice of $100.
    After a while he notices that he should have invoiced you too much or not enough. He tells you he made a mistake and agrees with you he can send you an additional invoice/credit memo for the invoiced quantity with the price difference. This will be posted as a subsequent debit/credit.
    The subsequent debit/credit is an additional invoice/credit memo where only a price difference is posted for a certain quantity without influencing the invoiced quantity in the system.
    After the posting of the subsequent debit/credit, you still have 100 kg invoiced but for a unit price of $1 +/- the additional correction.
    Suppose you have ordered 100 kg of a material. The vendor invoices you 105 kg. You don't agree. He should send you a credit memo for 5 kg.
    With a regular credit memo, you'll end up changing the invoiced quantity.
    After posting the credit memo you'll have an invoiced quantity of 105-5=100.
    In short:
    - a subsequent debit/credit will be visible in the system as an invoiced price difference for an existing invoiced quantity. The invoiced quantity is not touched. The quantity you enter during posting is to indicate to what quantity the price difference relates.
    - a credit memo is a correction of the invoiced quantity

  • While posting MIRO price difference account is not determimg for price vari

    Hi Sapients,
    Please solve the production issue which we have faced yesterday while doing month end closing
    In one P.O 4 items are there,User has posted entries in below sequence
    Material type is TRADING GOODS
    1)first MIRO with QTY 10 @100$ each,Later
    2)MIGO has done with QTY 10 @100$
    Raw Material account -
    1000$
    to GR/IR CLEARING ACCOUNT -
    1000$
    2)User has reverse the MIRO transaction with QTY 10 @ 100$ each.(with refer to step1)
    3)Finally he post MIRO with QTY 10 @ 90$ each, so here ther is no qty variance has come only price variance has come, so when posting the difference is not going to price difference and the entry is paasing like this
    GR/IR CLEARING ACCOUNT -
    900$
    TO Vendor 900$
    If u see in step 2 GR/IR having 1000$, but in step 3 while MIRO posting GR/IR as 900$ so for the remaing balance 100$ not going to price variance .I Belive the entry in step will be like this
    GR/IR CLEARING ACCOUNT -
    1000$
    TO Vendor 900$
    TO Price difference 100$.
    Kindly give solution why it is not going to price difference it was happening only for item 2 & 3 only for 40 iem it is posting correctly to price difference account.Please advice me why system behavig differently for each item.
    Thanks & Regards

    Hi Padmasri,
    Thanks for your explanation. Ok. if the price is maintained in S, does that mean the price difference would get posted only to PRD. In other words, if price indicator is V, is that the only time when the price difference gets posted to stock account. In case if there is no sufficient stock or if there is negative stock at that time, that's when the amount would get posted to stock loss or gain account. Please suggest if I've understood the concept right.
    Hi,
    The PRD will trigger when the standard price maintained in the material mater record is different from the price in MIGO . The other chance is the material is maintained with MAP and MIRO done before GR ,The value of the quntity (not available in stock )
    will get posted to PRD. I hope this will resolve your issue. Thanking you
    You had suggested: The other chance is the material is maintained with MAP and MIRO done before GR ,The value of the quntity (not available in stock ) will get posted to PRD. I hope this will resolve your issue.
    You are right: I forgot to mention that the price indicator is V. The other point is we purchase the materials from an internal vendor, as and when the materials are dispatched from the main storehouse in Sri Lanka, there is an advice that is created in the system and that is interfaced and parked in the system. However, normally until the GR is done IV will not happen. But there could be a chance, as the advice gets created within 24 hours. However the material to reach the godown in our warehouse will take more than 24 hours as the goods have to be shipped from SL, so IV is possible before GR.

  • Price Difference account when Creating Goods Return

    Hello experts,
    I got below case:
    1) Create a GRPO
    2) Created Landed Cost document
    3) Create a Goods Return (realized the lot number entered on the GRPO) was incorrect.
    When I create the latter document, this impacts the Price Difference account for the same amount increased on the Landed Cost document?.
    The Accrual Landed Cost account it is the one that should get hit.
    Any suggestions? is this how it is suppose to behave?

  • Query for Price difference account when item is not sold but not on stock

    Hi Experts!
    One of my clients accountant requires a report which will help for what to do with the balance of the price difference account.
    At the and of the year there are some postings on this account, but not every item that hadnt been on stock when A/P Invoice arrived were sold. Some item were waistrel and put into a waistrel warehouse, but not sold.Some item were sent back to the supplier, but not sold.
    Is it possibble to make a query for knowing where to post the balance of the price difference account? Not all should be post to the Cost of goods sold.
    Thank you in advance!

    Hi,
    The query is possible.  However, it is a complicated one. It is also need to involve detailed analysis to your transaction histories.  You may start from OINM table to check.
    Thanks,

  • Foreign Exchange difference posted to price difference account at MIGO

    Hi,
    We have a problem regarding posting foreign exchange rate difference at the time of GR.
    We are costing materials at the beginning of year, and purchases made during the year as per PIR will result in legitimate price difference which is posted to price difference account.  Thatu2019s working alright.
    Now, due to new business requirement, we maintained PIR in MXN (Mexican peso), & standard cost is converted in local currency USD as per exch. rate maintained in OB08.
    Now, when we do GR, the difference of foreign exchange at the time of Std. cost & GR date is posted to Price difference account instead of foreign exchange account.  For eg. Std .cost of material A is 1000 MXN, and GR cost of material X is also 1000 MXN, however corresponding USD is different because of different foreign exchange rate.
    Will appreciate if someone can suggest on how can we post it to exch.rate diff.account instead of price diff. acct. ?
    Thanks,
    Nirav

    Hi,
    Thanks for your replies.
    We have already maitained exch.rate GL OBYC-KDM, which is successfully posted with the exch.rate diff.arising out of GR & IV at the time of IV.
    I'm talking about price difference in Std. cost & GR value because of exch.rate diff.
    For example, Std cost for Material A is 1000 MXN converted to $100 with exch.rate of 10. Now, GR happens with 1000 MXN converted to $200 with prevailing exch.rate of 5. Please note that std. cost and GR is the same price 1000 MXN, but USD amount is changed resulting $100 gets posted to PRICE DIFFERENCE Account, whereas we want to post it to FOREIGN Exch. diff.A/c becuase it's arising out of exch,rate difference.
    Please let me know if it makes sense.
    Thanks,
    Nirav

  • How to determine price difference account for 301 MT?

    I know that 309 movement type is used for tranferring a material to another material . If the prices of two materials are different, price difference will go into transferring account determined by transaction key AUM.
    301 movement type is used for transferring material A from plant 1000 to plant 2000. Suppose a scenerio:
    plant 1000, material A, standard price 115,
    plant 2000, material A, standard price 100,
    so, if I use MB1B to do a transfer posting, the  accounting entry must be:
    Dr: stock posting account    100
         price difference account   15
       Cr: stock posting account   115
    What I doubt is, in this scenerio, How to determine this price difference account in OMJJ and OBYC? It is also determined by transction key AUM like 309?
    Hope you can help. Thanks.

    I have checked that price difference account of 309 MT is also determined by AUM. But, from SAP documentation, AUM is described like this:  "This transaction is used for transfer postings from one material to another if the complete value of the issuing material cannot be posted to the value of the receiving material. " So I think that AUM is is used for transferring one material to another material, not used for transferring a material from one plant to another plant.  It is different therotically, I think. but, in practice, 301 and 309 both use AUM for price difference account.
    THis is my doubt.

  • Entry is posted to price difference account  if IR is processed before GR

    Hi Experts,
    The user is facing the following issue " whenever the Invoice Receipt is recorded before the Goods Receipt, the total amount is booked on price difference account. This is in case of inter company transactions.
    Please share your thoughts
    Warm regards,
    Murukan Arunachalam

    Hi
    Please, see SAP Note 308008 - FAQ: Posting logic: GR/IR clearing account,
    It says in question 1.
    "Remark: Invoice receipt before goods receipt
    If no goods receipt has occurred yet, the entire invoice value is posted to
    the GR/IR clearing account.
    GR/IR clearing value = GR value/GR quantity * IR quantity."

    Please tell me how I can rectify this error.
    Thanks in Advance,

    Hi
    If you deactivate the purchase account management then the accounts trigerred are
    89 11430000 Inventory(BSX) 30117
    95 12105000 GR/IR clearing(WRX) 32400
    85 14804000 Price difference(PRD) 2898
    50 12133000 Prov inbound frieght(FR1) 615
    Is this Right.
    As you have activated the Purcahse account managment they are trigerring in this ways
    89 11430000 Inventory(BSX) 30117
    95 12105000 GR/IR clearing(WRX) 32400

    40 14800040 Purchase goods for resale(FRE) 615
    I have just rearranged the lines, to show you that the sytem is triggering the accounts correctly and this is the way it should be rather than your calculations. I dont know how you have to come to that calculations. But WRX will alwayts trigger the amount what you have on the PO.
    Thanks & regards

  • Account posting for the GR of subcontract PO

    Hi experts;
    We have a special requirement about the account posting for the GR of subcontract PO, 3POP process is used here means we create the SO, PR is created automatically. then convert to PO (Account assignment 'E', subcontract PO) . Basically now when the account document is created upon GR of the PO (101 E for FGI, 543 O for Component), the posting is like below:
      Itm PK CoCd Account  Account short text     Amount in LC LCurr         Amount Crcy      LC2 amount Trs
        1 89 1000 792000   Finished goods inven        100.00  EUR          100.00  EUR                  BSX

    Then the requirement is that the line item 3,4 should be combined together and 10.00- value posted. (Maybe then the transaction is BSV or PRD?)
    Anybody know how to fit this gap? kindly telll me. Appreciate!
    Hoping for a positive & prompt response

    Hi Gaito,

  • GR IR Account Maintenance for past due goods receipt

    Basically, we have open GRs dating back to 2003. We are hesitant to perform MR11 since this will affect the valuation of the materials as they are all set to MAP (moving average price)
    Aside from that, in cases wherein the GR'ed material has already been issued out of the plant, the additional value incurred from the GR/IR account maintenance will then be affecting both the MAP and the Price Difference Account
    What we plan to do here is to set up a GR/IR Adjustment Payable Account and map it to the accounts that will be affected. However, we have to make sure that we capture all the possible accounts that will be affected and replace it with this created GL Account. Upon execution of MR11, all differences will be dumped into this account. Once done, we revert back to the old configuration and then just reconcile the differences in FI
    Any comments?

    Hi,
    We have already implemented the solution for the open POs dating a year older. It seemed ok since our users were able to sign off the results. Here were the steps that we undertook:
    1. Created a dummy GR/IR Reconciliation Account in FI - basically this will act as a sink wherein all the discrepancies will be dumped.
    2. Changed the Material Valuation from V to S - in this way, when we reconcile the POs via MR11, the entries will post to the Price difference Account
    3. Change the automatic account postings to map to the FI account in 1 - in this way, all preice differences resulting from the MR11 maintenance will only be adjusted to one account
    4. Perform MR11
    5. Once all the open POs were closed, our FI team then performs JVs from the GR/IR Recon Account to the respective Accounts that need to be corrected.
    6. Revert back to old settings for both material and automatic postings
    NOTE: We scheduled a lock out to prevent any users from transacting. Only I was allowed access to the system to perform the task.
    I do not know if this will apply to your scenario as well but i do hope this helps

  • Price Difference Account being hit while making AP credit Memo

    Hello Experts,
    Price Difference Account is being hit while creating AP Credit Memo. I am creating an independent AP Credit Memo (i.e. without any base document). After posting A/P Credit Memo when I look at the Journal Entry it shows 99.43% of amount goes to Price Difference Account and the rest 0.57% goes to Stock account.
    Help required please.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Edited by: Shahzad Nazir on Jan 19, 2011 5:54 PM

    Hi Nazir,
    This entry may have resulted because once you created the GRPO say for item A, the stock would have been consumed in production. And once you created Invoice and after that when you created credit memo, the system could not find the stock so it posted the difference in price difference account. Please run inventory posting list of the items in grpo to check the same.
    Thanks,
    Joseph
