Dear Kavya,
Basically there are 3 Senarios regarding Price difference
1. If the Mateiral is Available (not sent for Consumption)
GR/IR clearing raw material.......Dr
Inv. Raw material local...............Dr
                 To party
2. If the Material is Partial Availabel (Partial Sent for Consumption)
GR/IR clearing raw material.......Dr
Inv. Raw material local...............Dr
Price Difference A/C..................Dr
                 To party
3. If fully consmed before the invoice (its rarely heppend)
GR/IR clearing raw material.......Dr
Price Difference A/C.................Dr
                 To party
Revert back if any clarification

Price difference-when process change

Hi,
Presently in costing sheet there are two continuous processes, both are considered as SFG (semi finished goods). The SFG 1 material in first process is the BOM part of the second process SFG 3 material. Both process has different cost centres, overheads and cost elements.
Now the second process of SFG material takes more than 9 months. So want to show this WIP under maturation stock, as separate stock under new SFG 2 material, with some value addition (considered as activity). This new process related SFG 2 material BOM will contains the first process SFG 1 material. And this new SFG 2 material code will be the part of BOM of the last process SFG 3 material.
Now there are 2 issues we are facing.
1st query:
In quality server after transporting the request from Development, Price difference account is generated while production of the 3rd Process SFG 3 material.
Production made for 1000 AL Qty (Base Qty of BOM 1000 AL and Costing lot size 1000 AL ) and in the entry we are getting the Price difference entry as shown below.
Dr. Inventory SFG3 - 105,897.43
Cr. Incr/Decr/Cons SFG 3 - 105,900.00
Cr. Price difference - 2.57
Cr. Inventory SFG2 - 94,550.00
Dr. Incr/Decr/Cons SFG2 - 94,550.00
Standard cost of SFG 3 for 1000 AL is 105,897.43 and Standard cost of SFG 2 for 1000 AL is 94,550.00
May i know why the price difference account is picked up while doing the production of existing material SFG 3, when there is no such difference in development server. And no Price difference account in Quality server before introducing the new process?

Vinu.

Expense for the price difference by reversing entry of goods

Hi Experts,
There is an Expense for the price difference by reversing entry of goods. Conceptually is this correct?
Thanks in advance.
José Luis

Hi
Price difference during reversal of GR may be correct due to the change in price between GR & reversal.
It depends on price control whether S-Std price or V-Moveing average price in the Material Master accounting view.

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."
I hope this helps you

GR and IR price difference.

Hello Gurus,
I am facing one issue. We have a PO created of lets say 1000 qty and the condition rate for it is 1.5. Now GR is been done of 100 qty then in the GR, the amount is local currency should be 150, but the amount is coming entirely different. It is higher than 150, say 170. Now when i am doing IR at that time 150 is coming as the value and hence there is a difference in IR and GR. I checked the currency and its all same. Also I checked the exchange rate, that is also same. Please let me know from where Amount field in GR comes. Is it calculated through Moving Average price in MM.

Amount in GR comes from standard cost in material master. Entry will be:
Inventory A/c Dr           170
To GR/IR A/c                       150 (based on condition rates)
To Price Difference A/c           20 (difference between standard price and condition rate)
At the time of invoice receipt:
GR/IR A/c Dr             150 (Original condition amount)
Price Difference A/c      10 (new price increase)
   To Vendor A/c                     160 (total vendor liability)
Please award points if useful.

GR/IR Price Difference

This is somewhat complicated to explain but let me give it a whirl.
What has happened is we have receipted an item in at 4570, then we invoiced it at 4800 (taxes and unplanned delivery costs)
For some reason the item was unreceipted a month later at the invoice price of 4800, then it was receipted back in, but it receipted back in at the PO price of 4570. How did this occur.
There were 3 line items on the PO
The 1st line item was receipted and paid no issues, the second one is the one I have issues with, and the third one was receipted and unrecipted, then the price was changed to 0.00 and receipted back in again.
When I look at the MB51 and look at the PO movements, I see the two reversals (102) however, for some reason it seems that line 2 and 3 became lines 1 and 2, because I see a 102 movement for line item 1, however this never occured on the PO.
This helps me understand how when line 2 was receipted back in it came at the 4570 price because it took the price from what was actually line 3 (never invoiced)
Hopefully this makes sense to somebody. I am trying to recreate this in a test environment so I can understand why this occured. I have not had any luck yet. If anybody has any suggestions or needs further clarifications please let me know.
Thanks for your time.

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

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.

Quantity & price difference between purchase order and goods receipt

goods receipt against purchase order
inventory a/c    dr
   gr/ir clearing a/c    cr
if there is any quantity & price difference in between PO and GR ex- PO order -1000 bags @ rs 10 but good receipt 900 @ Rs 10
then how the price difference and quantity diference treated in sap
what will be the entries, how we adjust it.
regards
siba

kindly note that depending on the Moving average or standard price (price control flag in mm01) the difference will either get adjusted with the material or to the price difference account accordingly.
in the example for standard price
         gr for po :10 bags @ 11
dr stock 100
cr gr/ir 110
dr price diff 10
the above is in case of material maitained at 'Standard price' in the mm03.

Price Difference GL significance

Hi experts,
Please clear my doubt at the time of FG scrapping which GL a/c should get hit.
Price differnce a/c OR Loss on scrapping of FG a/c should get debited.
To FG Inventory a/c
Now if the above FG after scrapping is generated as scrap-by product to be used in production as raw material what should be the entry.
What is the significance of PRD a/c.
Regards,
Divraj

If the FG is scrapped
Dr Loss on scrapping of FG a/c
Cr FG a/c
If you are converting the FG into another form
Dr FG By product
Dr Loss on scrapping of FG a/c(If the by product value is low)
Cr FG a/c
Price difference is, when you receive debit/credit note for the goods from the vendor, if the respective goods are available then price differece posted to Inventory account, if the inventory is already consumed or sold then price difference goes to price difference account.

Price difference in MAP material

Hi,
I am taking a material which is managed Batch wise and split valuation is active, while valuation type is moving average price.
when doing the goods issue for the material, it is hitting the entry in Price difference account..
But when I am reversing the same GI document, it does not hit the Price Difference account. It loads the Price difference on inventory.
but requirement is that, during reversal of goods issue it should post the PRD account by whatever amount was posted in PRD account during Goods Issue.
Please help me out, how to solve this. By any means, can we post the entry in PRD when material is managed by MAP.
Thanks,
Varun

Hi,
Material A is batch managed with split valuation active. In the material master valuation type MAP is maintained.
When doing the Good Receipt of this material with quantity 1, with 475 $, MAP changes to 475$ for newly generated batch valuation.
When doing the Goods Issue at 300$ with quantity 1, inventory account is credited by 300$, and 175$ is debited to Gain/loss account.
When reversing this GI document, material account is debited by 475$. But my requirement is that, it should debit material account by 300$ only and 175$ should be credited to Gain/loss account.
Hope, now I am able to clear my requirement.
Thanks,
Varun

Price difference in the latest invoice document and the last change to

Hi gurus,
This is regarding the price difference of the latest invoice document price with respect to the price of last time the document was invoiced.Without using the customer exit or back-end developement. need info if this can be done on the front-end using the front-end tool bex designer using the CKF, RKF , Variables or conditions etc
say for instance the user wants to get the price differences with respect to the invoices for a certain period that is from 01/01/2008 to 06/30/2008( dynamic entry can be any range).
Once the user enters the range for the billing document date as 01/01/2008 to 06/30/2008 the query should return the report as
Sold-to(customer) Material, Bill doc date and the price difference. these are the four columns the users needs in the report.
now the bill-doc date will the latest invoice date for the sold-to & material, but the price difference will be the price of the last invoice date(for the sold-to , material) - the latest invoice date price.
Example. between 01/101/2008 - 06/30/2008
customer : 2765 , material : XAWE33636FD this particular customer-product had 3 invoices on 02/15/2008 , 04/18/2008 and 06/03/2008.
price on 02/15/2008 : $1.09
price on 04/18/2008: $1.87
price on 06/03/2008: $3.84
so the report should look like
customer material bill doc date price diff
2765 XAWE33636FD 06/03/2008 3.84- 1.87( latest invoice price - last invoice price)
Thanks
appreciate responses

Hi,
I think you will need at least some backend devlopment for this first and foremost being mapping the invoice date from souce to the Bill date.
Getting price difference is not an issue as much as tracking dates. I think you will need a counter to track the last invoice date which really needs ABAP coding
An exit would be much easier to have this functionality rather than to create RKF's and CKF's
I will update you in case any better idea strikes.
Good luck

Issue Price Difference Acct. in JE of goods return

Dear all,
There is issue in price difference account(Defined as Material Purchase Gain A/c in warehouse)
in good return journal entry,
Eloborating problem : User booking subcontracting grpo for qty 1470.024 with price also for 1470.024,
JE for GRPO is Sub Contracting Charges A/c Dr to Sub Contracting Charges Clearing A/c Cr.
ie.,
Sub Contracting Charges a/c Dr -11,92,189.46
Sub Contracting Charges Clearing A/c Cr -11,92,189.46
Now they partially do good return for qty 811 with price 1470.024,
JE for Goods return is
Material Purchase Gains A/c Dr -11,78,900.46
Sub Contracting Charges a/c Dr -13,289
Sub Contracting Charges Clearing A/c Cr -11,92,189.46
Actually sub contracting charges a/c should have been debited to 11,92,189.46,
Why it is hitting Material purchase gains a/c ?
Pl clarify it.
Edited by: Jeyakanthan A on May 21, 2009 3:26 PM

Hai!
As per my understanding,
Stock Acc always in Asset Draw, Price Diff Acc in Expense Draw.
For Example..
1.I am purchasing a item of 10 qty each 1 rupee through GRPO.
2.It will post a JE like stock acc INR 10 Debit and GRNI Acc 10 Credit.
3.After that i have transfered my 5 qty to some other warehouse.
4.I am booking a AP invoice with that GRPO as base, now i have changed my price to 2 rupee.
5.It will post a JE like stock acc INR 5(51 which like in warehouse) debit, GRNI Acc INR 10 debit, price Diff Acc INR 5 Debit (51 go as expence) and Vendor INR 20 Credit.

Price Difference at the time of GR

Hi All,
We have an Item with Price Control as "S" the current price for that Item is 4961 and the time of Goods Issue system is picking price 5827.
At the time of GR system post following entry
Material Account Dr 5827
IR account Cr 4961
Purchase Variance Account Cr 865
What could be the reason for this?
Help me out in this.
Regards,
Vivek

Hi!
there is a conflict in your writing.
initially you have given accounting entry for GR as::
Material Account Dr 5827
IR account Cr 4961
Purchase Variance Account Cr 865
But later you have written that GI is posted before above GR.
that means there must be a change in price first one, second one, if stock account is posted with 5827 means - if price control is "V", then this is your purchase price ( in this normmaly there will not be any price difference, except in shortage of stock available than goods receipt) , if price control is "S" - the standard price should be 5827.
Now check when GI is happened, what is the standard price before that GI.
Please check tables - mbew/mbewh/ebew/ebewh/qbew/qbewh ( where ever scenarios are applicable for you).
If you don't find any thing, then it is better to post OSS message .

Price difference allocation of m-type '301'

Dear all,
for certain material, we using m-type '301-TF transfer plnt to plnt' to transfer the stock from one plant to another one. however, after price determination and revalution consumption, price difference can not allocate to these items(CKM3) .
would anyone help me?
thanks,
Ben

Hi Ben Wu,
Do not know how you processed CKMLCP. Anyway the alternative way to test this is select only one material for which stock transfers happened...
Step 1) run CKMF - Allow Material Price Determination
        2) run CKMH - Determine Material Prices (Single-Level)
        3) run CKMG - Allow Closing Entries
        4) run CKMI - Post Closing
From the first two step itself you can analyse whether the price determination considers the price difference. If so proceed to run 3rd and 4th step.
Then check CKM3 it would be fine.
Regards,
Velumani
