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.

  • Price difference on cancellation of production order confirmation

    Hi,
    We are having a material which is maintained at price control "S". We have created a production order for the material. In due course of business, we did confirmation for say 100 pcs of the material. However, immediatly on confirmation, we realized that we do not need to do the confirmation & hence we did the cancellation of the production order confirmation using CO13.
    On doing the production order confirmation cancellation, we observed that the system has posted some amount to "price difference account"
    We also observed that once in a while this kind of entries do get posted.
    It is requested to please let us know in why system is behaving this way?
    We have checked SAP Note no 216080 "Price difference when reversing GI for S-Priced material" & SAP Note no 215980 'Price difference during GR for the production order". However we are not convinced that these could be the reason for the price difference.
    Thanking you in anticipation
    Regards
    Santosh Kumar Agarwal

    Hi,
    Yes, you are correct in the understanding that the system creates quants in 914 when the production order confirmation is cancelled. But, it does not generate any TR or TO in the background to post the stock back into the original storage type.
    Can we not use the put away strategies so that the system determines where to place the material? My query is that despite all the configurations for automatic TO creation and confirmation for movement type 262, it does not generate a TO (or TR) in the background when a production order confirmation is cancelled using CO13.
    However, if I manually post a material using MB1A for 261 movement type and reverse it using 262, it generates a TO and confirms it as per the setting in configuration.
    The same thing does not work when we run it through PP (CO11N and then CO13).
    Any suggestions on how to approach this and where to check for missing configurations?
    Thanks and Regards,

  • Change Multi-Level Price Difference Process Category

    Hello ML Gurus,
    We have a situation
    Our I2P team has certain process orders that are recursive -- header material the same as component.  (These are NOT rework order types, but standard process order type PR01).  In the beginning, they posted GR as process category "Receipts", and GI as process category "Consumption". This resulted in cyclical error during CKMLCP.  When we cut off connections and ran, it left a huge price difference as "Not Allocated".
    To circumvent this problem, I2P used a BADI to change the process category for the consumption to "Receipts".  Everything was ok, until the monthend.  When we do the Multi-Level Price Determination, the price difference gets posted to Consumption only, and since the original consumption is moved to "Receipts", the entire price difference is now "Not Allocated".
    We think we can fix this by changing the process category for the multi-level price difference to "Receipts" also.
    Is there a way to do it?  Any BADI, User Exit, Enhancement -- anything?
    Also, this is not a pretty design....do you have a suggestion for improving the overall process?  We used to have a Product Cost Collector and post these consumption and then settle them monthly, but we lost traceability for the batches so we cannot and do not use them.
    Appreciate your help.
    Cheers,
    TD

    Hi,
    Basically single level price determination calculates periodic unit price based prices differences for that material alone is considered
    Multilevel price determination considers its own differences as well those of the input materials.
    Hence single level price determination is a prerequisite for multilevel determination

  • How to change price differences account during subsequent debits only

    Dear all,
    Has anyone succeeded in changing the price differences account during invoice posting (MIRO) according to particular customer specifications like having it changed only in case of subsequent debit invoices (this is a current requirement which we would like to solve)? Is there any BADI which influences the price difference account determination or is there only the PRD-related setup via account-determination-customizing?
    Thank you for your feedback!
    Kind regards,
    Klemens

    They don't want to control the "PRD accounts" - they just need a solution to have different accounts available for the situation in which the usual PRD account assignment triggers. They need this because they get subsequent invoices (very late in the process) after the whole stock is already moved away and hence, the whole subsequent invoice amount would go to the price difference account; which they don't want to have.

  • Future price is not getting updated as current price when period changed

    Hi all,
    We follow the following procedure to update standard price in material master. Our organization is a manufacturer of pharma products. ( System is not live yet)
    We have BoM's for all FG's and all FG's & SFG's are having Price control indicator as "S". Rest other materials are valuated for Moving Average price.
    > Run T-code CK11n for the FG.
    > Check whether costs of utilities and final product is as per the cost sheets prepared manually (10-20% difference acceptable)
    > Do not save it and goto CK40n tcode. Mark and release price of FG's & SFG's for the current date (eg: 16.01.2008). Now as 10th period of year 2008 was not open at that time and only 9 th period of year 2007 was open, the prices were updated as "FUTURE PRICE" in costing-2 view of material master.
    > Now that when i am opening 10th period (both financial period and inventory period), my future price is not getting updated as my CURRENT PRICE in material master as my standard price.
    Pls. reply to this urgently.

    Hi,
    I am sure about it that when CK40n was done for a future date when some n-1 period was open, the costs released would get updated as future price.
    When the period for which future price was updated is opened as current period, the future price automatically gets updated as current price and is also set as standard price in accounting 1 view.
    But i m unable to identify why is not working.

  • Price Difference A/c is debiting instead of Raw Material A/c when MIGO

    Hi Experts,

    When do the MIGO transaction as per standard - Debit is Raw Material A/c and Credit GR/IR Clearing A/c.
    But in my System Debit is Price Difference A/c and Credit is GR/IR Clearing A/c is taking, because Price Difference A/c is coming from PRD transaction Key where I given Price Difference A/c. Why system is not taking Raw Material A/c from BSX transaction key.

    Hi..
      I want to add :
       If you want to maintain Price Control as "S" then maintain standard price (MR21).
       Then stand price will hit BSX nad diff between PO price and Stnd Price will go to PRD a/c.

    The Accrual Landed Cost account it is the one that should get hit.

  • 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,

  • Price difference account settlement  process at period end

    Hi
    Is there any procedure to settle the price difffrence account (P&L Account)  at the month end/year end in FI.( for the material price difference araise on purchases, subcontracting  etc)
    How to settle, pls provide the steps?
    regards,
    maalik

    Hi Malik,
    Let me try to answer and get full point from you.
    As you are aware, the purchase price differnece happens due to the invoice price change and the stock gets issued to the production. Thereby, the produciton under charged.
    In Sap, the transaction key PRD without account modifier, takes care of this accounting entry. There is no necessity to settle in year end or month end.
    I suggest you to catch these expenses in Purchase Department cost center as overhead and this purchase department cost gets included in General Overhead which will be charged either through Activity pricing or Cost sheet surcharge method.
    Trust it will hep you or otherwise revert!
    Cheers,

  • 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

  • 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
    Regards

  • Price Difference GL During MIRO

    We have  a scenario where we receive Invoice for a material (with MAP) after some time of GR for e.g., 10 to 15 days of GR. Mean while we consume some of the stocks already received. When we post invoice (MIRO) with some price changes to PO price, system checks the stock overview and posts the proportionate amount to Material account and Price Difference account (PRD), which is a standard behavior of SAP. But, we dont want the amount to be posted to PRD. We want to post the entire amount to material account only.
    Can anybody suggest the workaround solution for this.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Bharathi

    Hi
    Another process, though manual would be, to activate the Material Tab in MIRO. There after, what ever, quantity is available in stock you can pass a debit or credit to material. However, it is not the suggested correct way as MAP will not be in propotion to existing stock quantity.

  • Landed costs and price differences

    I'm trying to figure out what PS does to adjust for total value discrepancies between an invoice voucher and associated PO. Say on my PO I have a line item with quantity of 2 and unit price of $10. Therefore total value is $20. When I create a voucher, that same line item is now 2x$11 = $22. I approve that voucher for $22. Now I run the Extract Landed Cost batch process. What does this process do to "compensate" for the difference between voucher and PO? Does it change the unit price of that item in inventory from $10 to $11?

    Hi, yes you are right: Using this approach ML would use price differences for other batches and increase their value instead of posting them as loss like the initial cost.
    The way around that would be to post some unplanned material good receipt for the loss production order, e.g. a material called scrap. In account determination you might make sure that these materials have own stock and price difference accounts that you could treat special in your balance sheet.
    This would be shown in ML like a joint production between the planned product and the scrap material and multi-level variances would be distributed using following an apportionment structure from material master.
    If it is difficult to maintain a reasonable apportionment structure you might implement BADI  cost_split described in note 997264.
    Also a good possibility would be to use a quantity-proportional split that can be derived from the ML quantity structure.
    I could provide an example implementation of that.
    best regards,  Udo
