Unplanned Freight and Price Variance

Hello Friends,
When I enter in incoming invoice in MIRO and I have unplanned freight and price variance. When I enter in variance by it self it works fine and the variance goes to the right GL. For example when I have Freight of $100 and price variance of $200 and I post it together here is what it shows when I simulate:
FLTR 3M DUST &POLE                                      $8.75
FLTR 3M DUST &POLE                                      $59.48
COS-P.O VARIANCE ADJ                                   $31.49
RENT-EQUIPMENT & AUDIT                               $200.28
Is there anyway I can fix this where the variance would be $200 and the rest post accordingly. Please help will reward points for helpful answers.
Regards,
Monika

Hello Monika,
What type of price of control do you have on your materials? If the price control is set for moving average price (V), then I would expect any variance between PO price and invoice price to be reflected back to the moving average price of the material (e.g. your PO line item).
Unplanned freight can definitely configured to post to its own account.
Hope this helps.

MIRO - Unplanned Freight and Labor Tax allocation - Balancing Error

As of today: When creating LIV invoices, we are not allocating the tax to Unplanned Freight(T3) and Labor(T4). But we have a new request for apportioning and allocating the taxes to unplanned freight and labor.
we changed the code to pass everything so the tax calculation is done as per the apportioning logic and I am passing all the information to the BAPI u2018BAPI_INCOMINGINVOICE_CREATEu2019, but it always throws me a balancing error.
For eg: If we have an invoice with 1 line item
Total amount u2013 17000
Line item amount u2013 10000
Total Tax u2013 1000
Unplanned Freight u2013 2000
Unplanned labor u2013 3000
In todayu2019s scenario, as we donu2019t allocate any taxes for unplanned freight and labor, the total tax is allocated to 1st line item and it calls up sabrix and distributes total tax $1000 for T1 only.
But when we are trying to allocate the taxes for T3 & T4, $1000 is apportioned to T1, T3 and T4.
For eg if taxes posted to
T1 --- 500
T3 --- 200
T4 --- 300
then I am always get a balancing out error of the amount that we posted to T3 and T4, in this case = 500 (200 + 300).
Any suggestions!

Roopa.

Hi Tarek
I have checked the following in my system :
1) Document Type RE which is being used for MIRO and the classficiation
the same in of this document type is : Business Transaction 0300 (Vendor Invoice) and Variant
is 0001 (Standard)
2) Document Split Method used in our system is 0000000012 and not a Z.......
3) Document Splitting Rules for the above combination of Vendor Invoice (0300) and Transaction Variant 0001
Profit Center is not being filled in the line item 001, which is the vendor one.
I have checked the base item category of 03000 (Vendor) and I found the following in it :
01000     Balance Sheet Account
01100     Company Code Clearing
01300     Cash Discount Clearing
05100     Taxes on Sales/Purchases
05200     Withholding Tax
06000     Material
07000     Fixed Assets
20000     Expense
30000     Revenue
But you may note that none of the above items are being checked for Automatically Split box.
Can you please advise further on this issue. Also can you provide your contact number so that I can call you since the issue is very critical in the production system.

Unplanned Delivery Costs and Price Variance - Account Determination

Hi,
I am facing the following issue:
My goal is to automatic post the unplanned delivery costs to an account depending on valuation class.
The account should be diferent from the one used in purchase (EIN) post but both values should affect the moving price.
Can we do that?
Thank you for your cooperation
Best Regards
João Fernandes

My take is that you can have or the other, not both.
You configure how the uplanned costs are handled, a) Distributed among invoice Items or b) to a different G/L line.
Path : SPRO>MM>LIV>Incoming Invoice
If you pick, the costs goes to the stock account.
If you pick B, the cost goes to a separate account but it will not affect the item price.
The account is defined in OBYC, for transaction UPF, and it is Valuation class independent.
Hope it helps

Material purchase price variance and different cuurrency in IR

we have a requirement to split price variance and freight purchase price variance in goods receipt stage, but the problem is condition type can not be assigned COPC original group. so what are the tables I can use to split the two ppvariance using customized report?
also in GR, accrued freight now is using month end rate, but we want it to be planned rate(another exchange rate type), is it possible to configure?
during invoice recept, standard can't maintain different currency from PO currency, is it possible to reconfigure the system to use another currency for invoice recept?

This is the answer from OSS
Dear Customer,
the system works as designed.
When Material Ledger is activated, price differences are always
generated under the circumstances you have described. The reason is
that when material ledger is activated, price differences must not be
included into the stock changes value, otherwise the system would
not be able to calculate an actual price.
When Material Ledger is activated, the customizing setting
for handling price differences in the subcontracting process has no
effect.

Input Quantity Variance and Input Price Variance for Production Order

Dear All
I am running variance program KKS2 for calculating variance of production order. for Activity variances are coming under input price variance and input quantity varinace but for material the variances is now shown separately for quantity and price rather it is shown as variances total amount. Can someone help me in know why material quanitty variance and price variance not shown separately
Regards

How does input variance and output varia.nce will be calculated on the settlement of production order after TECO.
VARIANCE CALCULATION DEPENDS ON CONFIGURATION IN THE FOLLOWING AREAS,
1) VARIANCE VARIANT - DETERMINES WHAT VAREIANCE CATEGORIES ARE CALCULATED, E.G MATERIAL PRICE , USAGE, LABOUR RATE , USAGE VARIANCE ETC..
2) TARGET COST VERSIONS
3) VALUATION VARIANT FOR WIP AND SCRAP
Can we check in KOB3 or COOIS.
KOB3 - YES
COOIS - CHECK IN COST REPORT

PRICE AND QTY VARIANCE IN INVOICE

THERE'S A SCENARIO
QUANTITY AND PRICE VARIANCE DURING INVOICE:
PO QTY - 10
PO PRICE - 100/PC
INVOICE BY VENDOR
QTY - 5
PRICE - 110/PC
GR
QTY - 4
AFTER SETTLING THE ABOVE
AGAIN A INVOCE COMES FRM VENDOR
QTY - 6
PRICE - 120/PC
IN THE ABOVE CASE HOW VL THE SYSTEM REACT AND TO WHICH ACCOUNTS THE EXTRA AMMOUNTS BE POSTED?

If your material is valuated at a moving average price the price changes line with the delivery costs.the p.o price or invoice price varies from the price in the material master record,the difference is posted ot stock account(inventory ,if there is stock coverage for the invoice quantity.
If stock of material is less than the quantity specified in invoice because goods were withdrawn between g/r and i/r the stock amount is debited or credited for the actual stock.The remaining amount is posted to a price difference account.

GR posted to Price Variance account

Hi Experts,
I have a material whose price control indicator is "V", Moving price is $1, Total Stock is zero, Price Unit is 1, Standard price is 1, Total value is zero in material master.
I have created standard PO with two line items.
Line 10 is for the quantity of 1 PC at the rate of $100 per PC.
Line 20 is for the quantity of 1 PC at the rate of $100 per PC. Additionally line 20 is account assigned Q "Proj. make-to-order". No other differences.
I have posted GR for line 10. Accounting details are Stock account $100 and GR/IR clearing account $100.
I have posted GR for line 20. Accounting details are Stock account $1, GR/IR clearing account $100 and Price variance account $99.
Any guess why the system posted line 20 in price variance account?
Thanks,
Ranjith

Hi,
I have a material whose price control indicator is "V", Moving price is $1, Total Stock is zero, Price Unit is 1, Standard price is 1, Total value is zero in material master.
its indicate that you have two material code price control V and S but situation is that both material don't have stock and price is same 1$
Now when you do MIG) for second material which has price control S and Po price is 100$
means you have price difference of 99$ ( po price -Material price)
so it will price difference account and its SAP standard
check following sap link also with example

Configure GRIR account and Purchase Price variance

Hi,
Please explain steps involved in GRIR configuration and Purchase Price Variance
Thanks for help. Points will be given

You need to set up the automatic postings:
IMG \ Materials Management \ Valuation and Account Assignment \ Account determination \ Account determination w/o wizard \ Configure Automatic postings
In particular you need to ensure there are settings for the Transaction Event Keys PRD (price differences) and WRX (GR/IR). Drill through and set per:
Valuation Grouping Code (these are set per Valuation Area which is normally Plant level and you can see the settings one step back in config.), General Modifier (if applicable) and for all possible Valuation Classes.
This link is very good, read the top bit for an overview then go to Transaction Event Keys (about half way down) for further info. on these.

How to Calculate Freight and Acquisition Overheads on Material Price

Hi Gurus,
currently i am working in Product costing. my requirement is to calculate Freight and Acquisition overheads on Material Price.i have maintaind rates for condition types ZFRA , ZA2H and ZAOH by using MEK1 transaction code. eventhough system is not calculating this overheads while running CK11n. system showing only material price no other oveheads.
my intension is to estimate the cost for Purchased parts not for Manufacturted parts. for that i have given the priority in the Valuation Variant is Price from purchase record.
can anybody resolve my problem?
Thanks&Regards
Prasad

Hi
Thanks for your reply.According to my clients requirement i need to do material cost estimates for purchased materials thru ck11n.for this i have given priority as price from purchase info record in the Valuation Variant. my mm friends maintaind price in the purchase info record ME11.
In additions to this i also maintained rates for Freight,Acquisition and Customs condition types in MKE1.
Now if i run CK11n, system showing only Material Price which is in the Purchase inforecord but system not calculating any required overheads.
I need to calculate Overheads thru Condition types not thru Costing sheet.
If you see Price Simulation system calculating the Overheads accordingly.but same is not getting populating while running the CK11n.
In Valuation Variant under the Deivery Costs tab I have assign all required Condition types to Valuation Variants and Controlling area accordingly.
I hope that i explained my current problem clearly.can anybody give me the solution

List Price should include Freight and Taxes ?

Hello Gurus,
Well, I need to know the Standard Practice or Leading Practice for List Price.
What all gets included in List Price ? Do we include Freight charges and Taxes also ?
Pls reply.

Hi,
if we consider the standard practice, then WE SHOULD NOT INCLUDE TAXES / FREIGHT / DISOUNTS in list price.
Becouse, freight and taxes will depend on location of SHIP TO PARTY

Payment Term (include Material exclude Unplanned Freight)?

Hi all,
The business has requested a Payment Term 0123 that can be used in MIRO to include a discount % on the material price but exclude the discount from the unplanned freight entered on the invoice. They want a 10% discount on the material with no discount to be applied to the unplanned freight. Can this be done or can it be separated out on the same invoice?
My feeling looking at configuration for Payment Terms is that the term is applied across the entire invoice price and cannot be separated out to exclude unplanned delivery charges...but I wanted to present to the group here to see others opinions. Thanks.

It is best practice to have cash discount only be cash discount and not other discounts. A 10% discount makes no business sense. Anyway, the system will post cash discount based on the AP invoice field 'cash discount base' this field can be different than the total invoice amount (say, cash discount base could be 100 dollars when the total invoice amount is 110 with freight). There should be a standard condition record in the MM pricing schema that feeds into the AP 'cash discount base' amount. So, yes it can be done.

Accrual generates a purchase price variance

When receiving an invoice for a material that requires the accrual of use tax, the accrual generates a purchase price variance, rather than generating an expense related to the material. Is it standard for SAP?

Purchase price variance is always created for the price ordered with the vendor and the standard price of the material in its master.
For example the material price is $ 12 ($ 10 base price + $ 2 for freight ) (Freight accrual is maintained through MEK1 transaction)
We place an order with vendor $11.
The entry will be
Material Dr. 12
PPV Dr. 1
GR/IR Cr 11
Freight Accrual Cr 2.

Invooice block for price variance

Hi
I require a block for the invoice for value more than PO value by 2Rupees. I have done the Tolerance key cuustomizing for PP (Price variance) by mainaining the upper limit as 2 Rupees and have checked the limits. I expected the system to block the invoice for value more than PO value by 2 rupees, but system blocks even for value more than 10 or 20 paise. Please clarify and guide what needs to be done.
I also beleive system does not blocks invoice for the above tolerance for extra duties and taxes and unplanned costs. Pl brief.
Regards
Arvind

hi
u have given tolerence for PP     Price variance
u check following
BD     Form small differences automatically
KW     Var. from condition value
VP     Moving average price variance
for the above keys make the option as do not chck and then try
