What is the difference if price control of finished products in Standard or moving avg price ?
1. I know moving avg price is always change able but Standard price is also changeable if standard price is changable when it change ?
2. If price control is S for finished products then product costing is happened or what !!!
3. Price and qty of FG if it is moving avg price when changed (When GR is happened or when settlement is happened) ?
4. In finished products if price control S , when we run costing run (CK40N) i think price is changed,before it we settlement production order at that time price is also changed
Kindly clarify
Thanks & Regards,

Hi,
Pl see the answers as below:
What is the difference if price control of finished products in Standard or moving avg price ?
1. I know moving avg price is always change able but Standard price is also changeable if standard price is changable when it change ?
*Ans:You are right on moving avg price that new avg price is calculated after every goods receipt, invoice receipt and order settlement. But in case of price determination "S", all the material movements got updated with standard price only. If Material Ledger is in Active, you can't change the standard price of the Material once you have the movements posted or the status of the Material in CKM3N shows " Quantities and Values Entered"*
2. If price control is S for finished products then product costing is happened or what !!!
Ans: No. This is one of the available valuation method in SAP.
3. Price and qty of FG if it is moving avg price when changed (When GR is happened or when settlement is happened) ?
*Ans: new avg price is calculated after every goods receipt, invoice receipt and order settlement*
4. In finished products if price control S , when we run costing run (CK40N) i think price is changed,before it we settlement production order at that time price is also changed
Ans: When you run CK40N standard price will get updated against the respective material and the same is used against all the material movements.
The main difference between the two valuation procedures is that the moving average price represents a current avg price while the standard price is based on planned values.
In case of Price Control "S" differences to a price difference account and however in case of moving average price, the material stock value in Financial Accounting will get updated.

Standard and Moving average Price

Hi,
What is the Difference between Standard and Moving Avg Price, What are the Cases will we use Standard Price ,and what are cases shall we use Mov.avg Price, Please Explain me with Example.

Hi Lakshmi,
Moving average price is maintained for all the outside procured materials and standard price is maintained for all inhouse manufactured materials...
We need to run standard cost estimate monthly to update the prices of all the materials with price control S... Prices of materials with price control V will get updated as soon as we do GRN for the materials on the weighted average method...

Why negative stock is possible for Moving avg price & not standard price?

why negative stock is possible for Moving avg price & not standard price?

Hi,
Negative stock is available for both MAP as well as Std. price.
Eg.
MAP-->
1. Mtl with MAP 1 Rs/pc & stock of 10qty.
2. GI done for 15 pcs. Each pcs evaluated with 1Rs (MAP). Stock value reduce by 15Rs. Offsetting entry takes place in consumption account of 15Rs. The stock and stock value is -5 each.
3. Post GR of 10pcs with PO price 3Rs/pc.
Now GR/IR should credited with 30Rs.
Negative stock (which issued) with 1Rs. But incoming mtl. is of 3Rs/pc. So difference of 2Rs for Qty 5 (Neg. stk) of 10Rs. will posted to Price Difference account. And remaining 20Rs posted to stock account.
Std. price.--> step 1,2 remain same
3. Post GR of 10pcs with PO price 3Rs/pc.
Now GR/IR should credited with 30Rs.
Durin GR Stock account posting will be 10Rs but due to negative stk value the net stock value will be 5 Rs. Remaining 20Rs posted to price difference acct.

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)

Std price and moving avg price

hii frends...in which scenario we hve to go for std price and moving avg price...
thnx in adv...

Generally all raw materials (ROH), spare parts (ERSA), traded goods (HAWA) etc. are assigned as moving average price (MAP) because of the accounting practice of accurately valuating the inventory of such materials. These materials are subject to the purchase price fluctuations on a regular basis.
Company generally uses moving average on purchased materials with small cost fluctuations. It is most appropriate when the item is easily obtainable. The impact on margins are minimized which reduces the need for variance analysis. Furthermore, the administrative effort is low as there are no cost estimates to maintain. The cost reflects variances, which are closer to actual costs.
The semi-finished goods (HALB) and finished products (FERT) are valuated with standard price because of the product costing angle. If these were to be MAP controlled, then finished/semi-finished product valuation would fluctuate due to data entry errors during back flushing of material and labor, production inefficiencies (higher cost) or efficiencies (lower cost). This is not a standard accounting and costing practice.
Hope this will help you.

Std price to Moving Avg Price & VICE VERSA

Dear,
Im MM01 - Trnx I maintained Moving Avg price , i want to convert to Std price in the given scenorios
1) Newly created MMR - P.O Created - Mtl not inwarded so far
2) Mtl already transactions done , so many times.
Also explain if its Std price to Moving avg what steps need to be done.

Hi
Under certain conditions, you can change the type of 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.
From moving average price to standard price:-
You cannot make this change in the following two cases:
1. If the material master record is set up as a valuation header record for a material subject to split valuation .
2. 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.
I hope it will solve your problem. Please revert back.

Raj.......

hi
this is to inform you that,
this is not possible because master data in the system might have got changed from MVP.
so then the system picks what ever the price stated there in MMR.
hope this clears your issue

Moving avg price is negative

Hi,
I am trying to post invoice for a material and PO but i am getting error message Moving avg price for the material is negative.
Please let me know your views on this.
Helpfull answers will be rewarded.
thanks
Suresh

Hi,
It doesn't mean that if you post higher value of difference then it will post MAP as -ve.
You might be posting higher value than the actual MAP of the material so it affects the MAP and if Difference amount is more than MAP value then this problem occurs.
And it also generates an additional accounting document of "PR" Document Type i.e. Price Change. But in your case, it will not allow to post you the MIRO Document.
If possible, better reverse the GR and change the PO value as per requirement and then do fresh GR and then MIRO.
Otherwise Try and change the material stock value in MR22 - Debit/Credit material stock value. It will not work by changing price in MR21.

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~
Dawn

Hi,
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.

Change in Moving Avg.Price after GI

Hi All,
We need your advise to find the root cause of sudden change in the Moving Avg.Price from US $100 to US $10,000 during GI (202 MvT - GI to Costcenter)
Further we observed that within 15 days the MAP has came down to US $132.
Could you please let us know the possible causes of this...
Regards,
Kiran

Hello,
Please use MB51 to analyse all the movements of the material. Also, look at PO history of the Materials for any possible GR/IR maintenance and Invoices for any possibles price adjustments. Other possible reasons are fractional stock quantities, reversal of a transaction that took place in the past and rounding off issues.
Thanks,

Accounting view:Moving avg price and standard price

Dear Friends,
Can anyone explain what for these two fiels are maintained?.....also what difference it makes with the price we maintain thru pricing procedure(considering only PR00)?......can both the prices be at the same value?......Thanks in advance

hi
The system calculates the moving average price automatically by dividing
the material value in the stock account by the total of all storage
location stocks in the plant concerned. It changes the price with each
valuation-relevant movement.
The system changes the periodic unit price if you settle the material
ledger and then save the data.
The valuation of stocks at moving average price or periodic unit price
means that the price of the material is adapted to the continual
fluctuations in the procurement price.
Standard price
     Standard price of the material
Use
     The valuation of material stocks at standard prices means that all goods
     movements are valuated at the same price over an extended period.
Procedure
     Price variances (for example, purchase price higher than standard price)
     upon goods receipt or invoice receipt are posted by the system to price
     difference accounts. This does not affect the standard price.

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.

Moving Avg Price

Hi All,
How are free items managed in a PO?
Regards
RK

Hi,
The valuation of free item is as per price control.
For the valuation of the materials delivered free of charge, you must note which price control has been defined in the material master record.
1. MAP :- If the material is valuated at moving average price, the stock figure is updated on a quantity basis only, not on a value basis. Thus the total stock quantity increases but the total value of the stock remains unchanged. This results in a reduction in the moving average price.
2. STD :- If the material is valuated at standard price, the stock figure is updated on a quantity and a value basis. The receipt is valuated on the basis of the standard price. The offsetting posting to the stock account posting is made to a revenue account for price differences.
So, Value comes only with Std Price control...but it will go to price Difference Acct.

Moving Avg Price - Delivery costs

Hi,
   Will the moving average price be influenced by the delivery costs incurred. It will be helpful if anyone could explain me with an example.
Thanks
Aparna

Hi,
In standard SAP process of inward Cost will consist of the following posting:
1. GR posting
                  DR Inventory          $1000
                        CR GR/IR Inventory      $ 900
                        CR GR/IR Inward Cost $ 100
2. Goods Invoice
                   DR GR/IR Inventory   $ 900
                        CR Vendor AP            $900
3. Delivery Cost Invoice
                   DR GR/IR Inward Cost    $ 100
                        CR Transport Vendor      $ 100
From the above journal you can see the inward cost is incurred upon GR posting.
