Two accounting docs in previous period MR21

Hi Friends,
I am doing price change and the "Configure Price Change in Previous Period" is active for company code means whatever price changes are made in previous period will get activated in current period.
Now I did the MR21 for one material in previous period and current period and in both cases one accounting document is created.
Now I did the MR21 for another material but this time two accounting document got created in previous period and one accounting document in current period.
So why two accounting document got created for second material in previous period?
Any pointers
Regards
Ashu

Hi Jurgen,
Thanks!
i)Material for which two accounting docs created in previous period:
In plant stock view: plant stock in current period is showing as 50- and in previous period is 30-
ii)And material for which one accounting docs created in previous period:
In plant stock view: plant stock in current period is showing as 1000- and in previous period is 0
Do I need to do GR against PO for 30 quantity in previous period ( say 3/2010) for case 1 to make the stock in previous to 0 from 30-.
Regards
Ashu

How to zero previous period stocks?

Hi MM gurus,
I want to activate batch management tick for existing materials which are not activated a batch management tick. To activate batch management tick it is needed to maintain zero stocks in current period and previous period.
Current period is not a problem. But how to zero previous period stocks?
Is there any way by posting a physical inventory adjustment to previous period? If so how to post a PI doc to previous period.
Please reply me ASAP.
thanks
Sandun

You can do it with movement type 201.
Make sure that it is allowed to post to previous periods (MMRV transaction for MM- but as well in finnace needed)
if previous period stock is 50
and current stock is 100
then you just need to do a 201 with a date from previous period for 50 and a 201 for 50 in the current period.
but
if previous period stock is 50
and current stock is 20
then you need to do a 202 movement in current period for 30 followed by a 201 movement for 50 previous period

ML accounting doc type

Hi all,
While ı post a GR for PO two accounting docs are created. WE and ML docs type.
The material ledger is active and the material is valuated at moving avg price. The system post price difference in WE doc and than back to the stock in ML doc. is it true?
For example
po quantity : 2 pcs
Po price:     5
MAV:   4
GR 2 pcs
Accounting doc: WE
stock account: 2*4 = 8
GR/IR:                  = -10
Price difference      = 2
ML Document
stock account:        2
Price difference:     -2
can anybody tell me why the system post to price difference account ? When ML document type is created? İs it about parallel currency? In GR the price differences is created for standart price ı think.
thanks

If you have ML active, the postings during GR happen as follows:
Material Moving Average Price: USD 5
PO Price: USD 6
You do a GR for 10 PCs
Expected Posting
Dr Stock USD 60 (10 @ 6)
    Cr GR/IR 60
With ML, it posts the first material document as if the material had a standard price of 5 (the MAP before the GR) and corrects it in the second. So you get:
Material Document 1:
Dr Stock 50 (10 @ 5)
Dr Price Diff 10
     Cr GR/IR   60
Material Document 2:
Dr Stock 10
     Cr Price Diff 10
The net effect is Dr Stock 60 and Cr GR/IR 60. But this is how ML works.
Now, for example, the new MAP is USD 5.50, the next GR will have a posting as if the material has a standard price of 5.50.
Hope this explains,
Lakshman

MR21 - no accounting doc. for the current period

Hi,
we are facing the following problem.
Each month, our accounting team is doing the price change through MR21. They are posting it to the last day of a previous period. Each month there are two accounting documents - one posted to the last day of the previous period and one to the first day of a new period.
As I understand this is a standard behaviour since the tick in OMRN is missing. (It was not ticked for previous few years).
However this month, there was no accounting document for the current period.
We have patched SAP_APPL in the time between these two activities.
I have checked that MM period was changed several days before they have done MR21. There were many material movements (sales) concerning the affected material masters. Materials are priced by the standard price.
I have tried to check OMRN for the affected company code and do the MR21 with no results - as it does not effect MR21 whether it is checked or not.
I havent found any note for this so far.
Any help appreciated.

Hi,
If the issue occurred after upgrade, you may check for SAP notes or raise an OSS ticket to SAP.

MR21 - 2 accounting docs generated

Hi all,
 I have a question regarding MR21 - Price Change in MM.
 User has used MR21 to do price change. Since the business can only know the new price at month end, so user will only do MR21 on the following month. For example in the beginning of Nov, user will maintain new price for the month of Oct.
 Therefore, when he does price change in Nov, he puts posting date of Oct, since the price is still belongs to October's price.
 However, by doing this, at Finance side, there are 2 accounting documents generated with opposite entries (eg: 1st docs Dr Stock Cr Price Difference, 2nd docs Dr Price Change Cr Stock) which brings the balance to zero. This will then eliminate the required update in FI side.
 Questions:
1) Why by putting posting date in previous month will cause 2 accounting docs ? What is the logic behind this ?
2) If we put posting date of current month, how does system deem the price change is actually for previous month's ?
3) If user already caused 2 accounting entries, what should we do to correct it ? Reverse one of the entries ?
 Kindly advise.
regards,
Y T Lee

SAP values all inventory movements "real time"
Oct transactions were valued at the standard in place as each transaction happened.
When you use MR21 and back date the posting, SAP does 2 things:
1 - Revalues the inventory on hand at the the value entered into MR21
2 - revalues the inventory to "today's" standard
Example:
Part ABC, Standard on Nov 1 - $50/ea; inv on hand 100 value of inventory = $5,000
MR21 change standard to $40, posting date Oct 31
posting one is credit inventory $1000 dr price change $1000
Because the standard on Nov 1 is $50, the system makes a second posting to debit inventory $1000, crd price change $1000
1) Why by putting posting date in previous month will cause 2 accounting docs ? What is the logic behind this ? - The system "knows" that todays standard is $50 and brings the value back to that.
2) If we put posting date of current month, how does system deem the price change is actually for previous month's? it doesn't know that it is for the previous month
3) If user already caused 2 accounting entries, what should we do to correct it ? Reverse one of the entries ? If you want the Oct month-end inventory to be $40 and go forward in Nov with $40, you will need to make a second MR21 transaction with a posting date of "today" changing to $40, if the qty is still the same the price change in November will net to zero.

mardh table is a audit relevant table, it is absolute nonsense to delete enties from standard tables.
The use of this function module is not even a solution for the issue discussed in this thread.

Cancel billing doc, will it automatically cancel the accounting doc?

Hi experts,
I have the following case:
- Sales order created
- Outbound delivery created
- billing document created
- accounting document posted but not yet clear
- all of the transactions are in the previous period that already closed
With some reason, I need to reverse all the document related, so the customer line item will not contains the open item from above transaction.
If I cancel the billing doc, will it automatically reverse the accounting doc as well?
Kindly advise the step.
Thanks and regards,
rob

Hi
Further I would like to clarify that the cancellation of Billing Document will create a cancellation document in Accounting too. At the same time, It will not clear the original Accouting Document of the Orignal Billing Document. Clearing to be done manually.
Cancellation of Billing Document will create a Cancellation document in Accounting even when the original accounting doucment has been already cleared.
In SD, there is a link between Orignal Billing Dcoument and Cancellation Docuemnt but in FI, there is not.
Thanks

Updating Price in previous period - Material master

Experts,
I create a new material and want to update the price in previous period. I update successfully through MR21. when i check material master price is shown only in previous period(May) and its howing current period price is ZERO.
Is it possible to bring the previous price to current price tab automatically?
R.S

Hi,
You may check in OMRN and set column price carried over.
In the case of a price change in the previous period or in the previous year, you must define whether the change also applies to the current period. You have two options:
The price change applies only in the previous period or previous year and does not affect the current period.
The price change also applies to the current period; the price in the current period is thus also changed automatically.
Activities
If you want price changes in the previous period or previous year to also change the price in the current period, select column
Price carried over.
Thanks and regards,

Query for Previous Period Accumulated Dep

Can someone suggest me the best way to query the previous period accumulated depreciation for an asset.
I am facing with every way I have tried.
1st Way = Current Accumulated - Current Month Deprn (FA_DEPRN_SUMMARY). But in case of retired assets, the Current Accumulated becomes 0. So, this wudnt be a correct value to display.
2nd Way = Going back one period and taking the Accumulated Depreciation value. This is very problematic in queries. I got error for some dumb scenario I didnt test in the query. Apparently if there are more than 2 rows in FA_DEPRN_DETAIL, then 2 records will return instead of one.
Can someone help me out.

Hi,
Check why the amounts in accum dep is calculating less amounts?
If your dep key and dep rates are correct, then there is no problem with the dep calculations.
Still if you feel that, a particular asset is to be depreciated more than the planned dep, you must perform a unplanned dep postings with Tcode ABAA
Before doing this you must have been done the config for the unplanned dep via the below tcodes.
OABU, and AO95.
Then try to post run planned dep with ABAA now, since this will only create an internal asset accounting document for the date 31.03.2009.
So if you run the dep run for the 12 period (if you follow apr-mar) with repeat option and by selecting list assets and execute it.
Here you see an separate dep doc will be generated for unplanned dep for your asset.
hope this might help you.
Thanks,

Revaluation of Material for Previous Period

Dear All,
My client wants to do the revaluation of Material (finished goods & semi finished goods) of previous period with standard price. Is it possible to re valuate the material of third quarter (oct, nov, dec)? Below is the given example for the same.
Current Month FEB 2011
Avail Current stock = 100 qty
Current price = 40 inr
Total Valuation = 100 *40 = 4000/-
Previous Period October 2010
Oct Stock 60 qty.
Client has changed the price for October through MR21
New Price = 100
After changing the price system displays below doc.
Price Diff (100-40) = 60
Current Stock of Feb (100 * 60) = 6000/- (Valuation)
But our Client requirement is as given below for October Valuation
Price Diff = 60
Oct Stock = 60 qty
Valuation = (100 - 40 ) * 60 qty = 3600/-
Can you tell me why system is considering the stock of Current (Feb) Month instead of October month though we are doing the revaluation of October month.
Awaits valuable input.
Regards,
Nazia

hi
standard price only will revaluate the stock in the current month. that to the stock which is available in the inventory. how can the sytem know whether the stock is oct or nov.

How to open previous period

Hi all,
   Can any one please let me know, is it possible to open the period in the previous year. If so, please let me know the details.
thanks & regards
Chaitanya

Hi,
     Using MMPI, i have faced the message "Follow the instructions in Note 487381 before initialization".
Further i have gone thru this note which specifies two points:
1) The initialization of the posting period to a previous or to any posting period may lead to the loss of the information of the inventory balances of the previous periods.
2) The book value of the current posting period is taken as the basis also for values of the previous period in this case.
   Can you please confirm whether loss of information indicates loss of accounting data or only information. Please provide the details of the consequences with the opening of any previous period.
thanks & regards

Depreciation Run -Two Accounting documents generating

Hi
When I run AFAB, two accounting documents are generating with the same amount and cost centers & Profit centers
Depreciation Expenses A/c Dr
To Accumulated Depreciation A/c
How to rectify the problem.
with regards
Siva

Hi Siva,
I hope you are doing test run for AFAB.
If you have ordinary depreciation as well as special depreciation system will create a separate accounting doc to each dep type, which might have been assigned to your dep key in use for the effected assets.
Check dep simulation report for that period
S_ALR_87012936 - Depreciation Simulation...
during selection for the above report, click on all selections button, which is located at application toll bar, so then you will get more selection fields to choose, and choose evaluation period as month and enter reporting date as same as your period end date for your dep run.
In this report you will get the dep forecast for the period in a separate column, by changing the layout you can achive it.
If dep amount in this report is also as same as your two acc doc's total in test run.
Then there is no problem with your dep calculation.
Check this revert back.
Thanks,
Srinu

Opening Balances for Previous Periods

Hi Experts,
There is a client requirement of entering opening balances for GL for previous periods before going live.
eg it is required to have OB for 2006,2007 and 2008 before live transactions are entered into the system.
Please enlighten on how to carry out this.
Regards,
Asap

Hi Asap,
You could only have one OB for one account. If those OB for different years are for different accounts, it is ok. Otherwise, you have 2006 OB only. You may create JE to get something like OB for 2007 and 2008.
Thanks,
Gordon
