Price Variance Moving Average
Can anyone explain to me the purpose of the GL account " Price Variance Moving Average " and how it works. What transaction triggers it and how it is calculated.
I am running 2007A with PL38
Thanks,
Peter To
Hi
Price variance account :
Used in purchasing transactions only. For certain scenarios, price differences between the base and target documents are recorded in this account.
Hope this helps to troubleshoot and figure out .
Thank you

SBO - Shift from Standard Price to Moving Average Price
Hello,
My customer has created few items with Std Price.
There was not item cost allocated to them and they discovered that the cost of good sold is fully allocated to purchase price variance.
Now, few logistical movements have been done on these items and they want to shift from Std price to Moving average price.
How can we do so since the field "Valuation Method" is no more updatable?
Thanks for your help
StephaneThe Valuation Method is modifiable only if the stock is zero and there is no open delivery or goods receipt transaction (which could modify or need the cost) for the item.

Standarad price and moving average price
What is the diff between Standarad price and moving average price ???
SomasundaramPrice Control V or S in material type
When is it useful to use the price control V or S in Material Master ?
Do I have to follow the SAP standard setting in the material type for the following material types:
- ROH(Raw materials) -> moving average price
- HALB(Semifinished products) -> standard price
- FERT(Finished products) -> standard price
In which case and why is useful to change these standard setting in material type?
What is difference between standard price and moving average price?
When and how to use it?
Standard price are used for products that do not fluctuated frequently. It is usually used for finished or semi finished products.
Moving average price are used mainly for raw materials that are purchased externally. The advantage of using moving average price for your raw materials is that your inventory costs will always reflect the current market cost.
SAP strongly recommends that you do not select price control V for semi-finished products and finished products, because doing so will very easily cause the calculation of unrealistic valuation prices. SAP recommends:
Price control V for raw materials and trading goods; price control S for semi-finished products and products.
If you nevertheless select price control V, take care in the following situations:
1. Unrealistic prices occur if materials are produced and also retire during one period (that is, the inventory at the end of the period is smaller than the total of aquisitions from production orders) and if, in addition, several production orders belonging to a material were finished in this period, and the production order settlement calculates variances at the end of the period. Every single production order carries out an inventory coverage check and may therefore cause the moving average price to be changed. However, the individual production orders do not check whether the inventory available at the end of the period has already been debited by another production order.
Example: on 20 workdays in the period, 1 piece of material xyz was produced for each day and delivered to the warehouse at a price of USD 1000. At the end of the period there is 1 piece at the warehouse. Since an activity price of a participating cost center was higher than planned , every single production order calculates cost of goods manufactured of USD 1100 during the settlement. Every single one carries out a inventory coverage check and finds out that the variance can be posted completely to the inventory. That is, the ending inventory of one piece is debited with USD 20 x 100 and it consequently receives a price of USD 3000.
1. A settlement is carried out although not all costs have yet been posted to the order. This can even result in a price of 0 for the delivered product.
2. No period check of the costs is carried out on the order, that is, costs from previous periods may be settled.
3. Settling orders is already possible in the 'Delivery completed' status.
Solution: Standard price for products together with possible manual price changes.
If you are required to valuate semi-finished and finished products with actual prices that correspond to the costs of the actual production, SAP recommends you use the function of the material ledger for this. Here, a periodic actual price is created that is calculated on a much more reliable basis than the moving average price. A so-called price limiter quantity is used which makes sure that in the above example price differences are proportionally taken into account (95% of the total price differences) when valuating the 19 pieces withdrawn from material xyz which results in a periodic actual price of 1100 USD. In addition, it is possible as of Release 4.5 to even take into account the variances of the actual prices of the raw materials in the valuation of the semi-finished and finished products that are manufactured from it.
If we select std price for any type of material or mav and then make po, it will pick from material master or what?
The Purchase Info Record have the FIRST priority. When no po info record is found, the Purchase Order will pick the user LAST enter price. The PO module do not pick up any price from material master.

Price Variance Report - Average Costing
Hi Friends,
We have our costing method as average costed. The Client wants to have a report wherin the PO's item price, item's list price (this will be fixed for a period) and the variance should come. The PO price of items varies dynamically (it may vary for same item from one PO to oter).
We have average costing, where PPV is zero. How to go about it,,do we have any report!!! Or I need to opt for a report development with Item, Iitem's list price, PO's unit price of item, variance, etc. as columns...seeking your valuable support/inputs. Thanks.
With Best Regards,
Nirabh NayanHi Nirabh,
we dont have PPV column in PO seeded reports, we should develop the report as per our requirement.

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)

Difference between Standard Pricing and Moving Average Price
Hi,
Would like to seek some advises on the difference between standard price and Moving average price.
also, how does it affect the account postings differently?
ThanksStandard Price
Materials whose price control indicator is set to S are valuated in Financial Accounting (FI) at standard price.
This is recommended for semifinished products and finished products.
The moving average price is shown as a statistical value in the material master record.
The standard price is normally calculated using a standard cost estimate for the material. The standard price can also be calculated in a mixed cost estimate.
Moving Average Price
When materials whose price control indicator is set to V are received from in-house manufacturing processes, they are initially valuated with a value you defined (such as the standard price). When you settle, the material stock account is debited with the variances. This results in a new moving average price.
Valuating semifinished products and finished products with the moving average price is not recommended.

Copy Standard Cost to Moving Average Price
Dear All,
We are maintaining the materials with price control as Standard Price and moving average price is updated and used only for statistical purpose.
I have a requirement of copying the standard price to moving average price field just after the standard costs have been released.
We have used CK40N to complete the calculation and release of standard costs.
Please let me know which SAP standard transaction can be used for the purpose.

Manish GuptaHi
Whats the need to copy std price to moving price?
I dont think there is any such t code to copy it.. But a weird work around is, if u r on ECC 6.0, you can change the price control from S to V and again V to S.. In this process, your price will get copied from S to V
However, not a recommended way of doing... If you do, you shud do this at a shot and blocking all others users

Standard vs Moving Average Price
Dear SAP Gurus
Can anybody pls explain the significance of Moving avg and Standard price of Material.
Thanks & Regards
ShaliniThe standard price or moving average price in material master is used to determine the value of the inventory.
Standard price are used for products that do not fluctuate frequently. It is mainly used for FG or semi finished products.
Moving average price are used mainly for raw materials that are purchased externally. The advantage of using moving average price for raw materials is that the inventory costs will always reflect the current market price.
If the material is valued at a standard price,
the difference between the purchase order price and the standard price will go to a price difference account.
If the material is valued at a moving average price, the difference between the purchase order price and
the moving average price will NOT go to a price difference account. The moving average price will simply be adjusted. -
Changing of Inventory Valuation: Standard to Moving Average Price
I work at a service-based company and have also been asked to research the impact involved with switching our inventory from standard price to moving average price.
Scenario: Change material type TRAD (trading goods) from standard price to MAP.
Process: Change settings in SPRO at the level of u201CDefine Attributes of Material Typesu201D. Currently, this is set for u201CStandard priceu201D with the indicator u201CPrice ctrl mandatoryu201D set. Upon change to u201CMoving average price/periodic unit priceu201D, Iu2019m thinking I need to de-activate the u201CPrice ctrl mandatoryu201D field so any current materials with an u201CSu201D in the Price control field on the Material Master Accounting 1 tab can be changed to u201CVu201D. Is this correct? Also, is there a program that already exists to mass update the Price control field on the Material Master? If not, I was looking to create a CATT for this changeu2026.any other ideas? In some of the forum posts it was mentioned to use t-code MR21 however, even with the u201CPrice ctrl mandatoryu201D field de-activated, the Price control column is grayed out.
It was mentioned in a previous post that all open documents (PO to IR) need to be completed before changing the price control setting, at what point does this stop the process? Does SAP generate a system error message?
Also, any suggestions as to when this price switch is best to take place like after inventory?
Are the above mentioned areas the only areas I should be concerned about or am I missing some areas that should be addressed?
P.S. We do not use have our ML (material ledger) activated or use split valuation.
Thanks~
DawnHi,
If you want to change material from standard to moving average price, Follow the below process
1)first the material quantity and value should be zero
2)if you want to keep value and quantity and want to change price control in future you have to create new material with price control "V' and lock the previous material for posting.

Moving Average Price for Material in Dual Currencies
Does a report exist that will display the Moving Average Price of a material using split valuation in more than one currency? For example: Part Number '12345' Qty 10, Moving Average Price (EUR), Moving Average Price (USD), Total Value (EUR), Total Value (USD).
Hi
It is not possible to maintain the material master accounting view in two different currencies. you will have to activate the material ledger for this.

Refurbishment WO - exclude moving average price from WO's costs
Hello Experts,
We have following problem. In refurbishment WO costs contains also moving average price of component which is under refurbishment.
From our point of view it is not proper since such a costs are not costs of repair.
We would like to exclude moving average price of component which is refurbished (moved to REPI storage location).
In SPRO there is only a possibility to exclude costs from WO which are assigned to particular cost elements or their group but it is not a case here, since we cannot assign all repairable materials to cost elements group defined in advance.
Do you have any idea how to do that?
Regards:
Łukasz KurlitHi ,
In MM for split valulated material we can maintain cost /stock for each valution type of the material ..if a material has valuation V1,V2,V3 .. new material is bought at V1 valuation price and after usage it is valuated to V3 and then refurbished to V2 .. now for V1&V3 you can maintain Standard price or Moving average price as per MM02 accounting tab by changing the price control in that tab and maintaing price unit .. but for V2 i think we should have Moving Average Price because everytime refubishment takes place at different refurbishment costs .. finally you need to follow as per your clients requirement ..
