whats the best solution
Thanks
Sandeep patil.

Dear,
ML is meterial ledger.
It is used in following cases.
- You have mutliple currencies and to see the stock in differnt currancies.
- You want to see the variances to be carried to different levels of BOM and see the periodic price of the product even though the price control is S.
Hence system will count all the variances and during ML closing steps calculate the variances and send to the higher level of BOM after chaning the periodic price of that raw materil. Hence at higest product level you will come to know exact production cost as well as level by level subassembly cost.
With this cost you can revaluate the material so that the S price will change to this periodic price.

Change costing method from Moving Average to Standard costing

Hi Expert
I need to find out the prerequisites for changing the valuation method of an item from Moving average to Standard costing.
(In the forums i found a note which discusses the change of costing method from FIFO to Moving average.)
It would be greatly appreciated if i can get a reply ASAP
Thank you
Regards
Apsara

Hi Son
Let me rephrase my previous question as i have asked it incorrectly.
Step 1. Make all quantities of the stock zero and also close all Open PO, SO etc
Step 2. change the inventory valuation method
Step 3. Enter new stock prices for the standard cost through stock revaluation. My question is can this be (step 3) done through DTW
Thank you

Is it possible to change the costing from moving average to standard??

hey all,
i wana know is it possible to change the costing from moving average to standard or vice-versa in the item master??
cheers

Hi Satish
Please look at the documentation from SAP for using this function. I just looked on my drive and can't find the document I used to have for this.
Just setting quantities to zero will not work as all open P/O, S/O, etc must also be closed before you can run the Inventory Valuation Method function. This is all detailed in the document.
I have done this successfully before for a client with over 4000 items, so I have been through the process. Please let me know if you need assistance.
Kind regards

Show both Moving Average and Standard Price of an item in Report Composer

Hello
I do follow all my items at standard price. But i wish to get on the same report both the standard price and the moving average price.
How can i do so :
1 - either by a default report
2 - Or by using report composer
3 - By using a SQL Query
Thanks
Stéphane

Thanks but is there a way to get both data on the same report ?
The solution you gave me allows me only to output two different reports....I don't mind working with a vlookup from time to time but on a daily basis, this is a bit laborious
Thanks for your continuous support

Moving average and standard price both maintained

Hi,
I have maintained both moving average price and standard price in material master, price control is V
is there any impact of standard price any where in the system.
Regards,
Ali

Hi,
The system considers only the price maintained in price control V or S.So Which ever price is maintained it will consider only that. As an example if you maintain price control as S and give standard price, So when you do GR against PO with different prices, You can see that system even calculates moving avg price for statistical purpose and same can be seen in material master. For for the transaction purpose only standard price will be considered.

Distribute moving average or standard price via ALE/IDoc

Dear experts,
do you see any way to distribute the moving average price via ALE? It is inside the material master IDoc but it won't update in the receiving system.
We need it for a decentral WM so that people can see the valuation of the material when they do inventory counting (to judge differences in LX22).
Any idea how to unlock the material master for update?
Gunter

Dear Amit,
yes - I understand how the system calculates the MAP. However, the receiving system is a SAP WMS - In WM there is no inventory management nor FI/CO. The valuation would always be zero. So I'm interested how can I update it via ALE?
It works for the first time if I have no valuation (accounting) view in the material and I send an IDoc with the view definition segment and a value for VERPR. But updating isn't possible.

How I can change Valuation Method from Moving Average to Standar

Hi Experts:
How I can change Valuation Method from Moving Average to Standar for an item that has bookings. We running Sap Business One 2007 A, PL 45...
Thanks very in advance.
Claudia

Hi
You can change the valuation method, but for that you need to have zero physical stock for that item.
Make a Goods issue entry for that Item for all the warehouses, change the method and make goods receipt entry for that item for all the warehouse.

Moving average and standard cost

Hi All,
I purchase raw material and trading item. assuming that my raw material is based on standard cost and trading item based on moving average.
1) if both item have no more inventory, the difference price between migo and miro will charge to price difference?
2) if raw material which base on standard cost still have inventory, may i know if there is a variance for migo and miro, the difference will go to where? if inventorise then what would happen to the standard cost.
3) if trading item which base on moving average still have inventory, the variance (between migo and miro) will be added to moving average. right?
4) for raw material which base on standard cost, may i know if freight cost, custom duty and some other miscellaneous cost need to add in, how possible it can add to the standard cost?
5) for trading item which base on moving average, may i know if freight cost, custom duty and some other miscellaneous cost also will be added in moving average price?
thanks

Hi,
1) if both item have no more inventory, the difference price between migo and miro will charge to price difference?
Yes, this is correct as per Accounting Standards
2) if raw material which base on standard cost still have inventory, may i know if there is a variance for migo and miro, the difference will go to where? if inventorise then what would happen to the standard cost.
Any difference between the Standard Price in Material Master and Purchase Value (PO Price) will debit or credit the Price Difference A/c no matter whether stock exits or not.
If Material Standard Price = 100 INR
And PO Price is = 120 INR
During MIGO;
Stock Account - Dr - 100 INR
Price Difference A/c - Dr - 20 INR
GR/IR Clearing A/c - Cr - 120 INR
3) if trading item which base on moving average still have inventory, the variance (between migo and miro) will be added to moving average. right?
Yes, it will debit or credit Stock Account and will update MAP of Material accordingly if enough Stock coverage is there.
4) for raw material which base on standard cost, may i know if freight cost, custom duty and some other miscellaneous cost need to add in, how possible it can add to the standard cost?
No, all will get posted to Price Difference Account as following;
If Material Standard Price = 100 INR
And PO Price is = 120 INR and Freight = 10 INR
During MIGO;
Stock Account - Dr - 100 INR
Price Difference A/c - Dr - 20 INR
GR/IR Clearing A/c - Cr - 120 INR
Price Difference A/c - Dr - 10 INR
Freight Clearing A/c - Cr - 10 INR
5) for trading item which base on moving average, may i know if freight cost, custom duty and some other miscellaneous cost also will be added in moving average price?
Yes, it will get added to stock and will update MAP accordingly if enough Stock coverage is there.

Change valuation method from moving average to FIFO

We have incorrectly given valuation method for our raw materials to moving average instead of FIFO. Now, we have a lot of transactions and cannot change the method after a transaction is done for any item. I want to know if this solution will work:
1. create new database with item and business master data, chart of accounts, item groups as before
2. change valuation method of all items
3. Import GRPO, Excise and A/P invoices from old database
Does step 3 create its own JEs?? If it does, then my problem will be solved.

Change price control indicator from standard price to moving avg price.

Hi All,
There is a material which has a negative stock for the previous period and the previous period is already closed.
When i want to change the price control indicator from S to V for that material in the current period, it shows an error that "negative stock is there, unable to change price indicator".
Kindly help me to solve this issue.
Thanks,
AK

the price control indicator can be changed from standard price to moving avg price at any time .......with some restrictions.
And one of these restriction is the one you see.
You must not have negative stock.
Hence you have to make the negative stock zero
Since your negative stock is in the previous period, you either have to allow posting into previous periods (trx MMRV , of course Finance has to allow this as well) first. Then you can post e.g. a 202 movement with previous period date which has a quantity that equals your negative quantity. then you change your price control, then you do a 201 movement (again with previous period date), finally you can restrict posting into previous periods again in MMRV.
or you just wait a few days, then with the month end closure your curent period becomes previous period and hopefully you will not have negative stocks again. then you can change the price control without any problem (I usually take care that moving average and standard price are equal befor I change the price control)

Standard vs Moving Average Price

Dear SAP Gurus
Can anybody pls explain the significance of Moving avg and Standard price of Material.
Thanks & Regards
Shalini

The 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.

Can we change v to s ( standard price)

Hi,
Can we change v price to S (std. price), what precautions and we will be the effect?
Samir

hi
If you want to change the Price control from standard price to moving average price
You can make this change at any time. The moving average price (which until now has been updated for informational purposes only) replaces the standard price and is used for valuation from now on.
If You wanna change the price control from moving average price to standard price
You cannot make this change in the following two cases:
If the material master record is set up as a valuation header record for a material
subject to split valuation .
If the standard price comes from costing and is not equal to the moving average
price
If the change is possible, the moving average price becomes the standard price, which is then used for valuation.You change the type of price control by overwriting the price control indicator in the material master record with the new indicator.Changing the type of price control for a material does not change the value of the material stock,
since in both cases the current price becomes the new price.

Update avg/standard price item after import

When i import the standard price with DTW and update the initial quantities in stock, i can't update the standard price again...When i don't import the initial quantities, i can change that a lot of times...
How can i import the standard price, after update the initial quantities with DTW?

Marcio,
The Standard Price or Cost is used to calculate your inventory Value when performing Initial Stock Import.
Once the Item has a transaction and has stock the cost cannot be changed.
If you want to change the Cost, then you will need tp perform Inventory Revaluation. This function enables you to revaluate inventory values by changing the average or standard price of an item and calculating the total value of all the stock.
Access it from Inventory > Inventory Transactions > Inventory Revaluation
Let me know what your real need is on the busiess front and I could guide you accordingly

Problem with changing the Standard Price using MR21

I'm upgrading the system from 4.6C to ECC6.
Upgrading the Standard Price works normally in 4.6C. However, in ECC6, I notice that the data saved to CDPOS table is wrongly formatted. Therefore the other programs fail to read from this table.
Standard price is supposed to be right-justified. But it not like that in ECC6.
Can anyone tell me we should I look into to control the process of saving the data to CDPOS?
Thanks.
Han

Thanks Amuktha.
The link doesn't seem to help resolving my problem.
The changes is saved into CDPOS in the field Value_New (CHARACTER 254) in the way that the actual data can be retrieved by:
value_new+238
But any update to the standard price using MR21 now result in the value of Value_New that require:
value_new+7
to get the actual data.
Further more, in the old system, the standard price value in the decimal form like: "55.66" will be save to VALUE_NEW as "5566". So to get the real value, the system need to devide the value by 100 to get the actual new price.
In the ECC6 system, it is exactly the same as what we input: "55.66".
My question is: Is there an user exit, BADI or any way that can interfere the process of saving the data to CDPOS so that I can ensure the new Price will be save as "5566" and can be extracted using VALUE_NEW+238?
Thanks.
Han
