Dear,

You can change price control for material master with MM02.

If you can't change price control with MM02

Then use MR21, make equal price both moving and standard and then change price control with MM02.

Remember: -

V : - If you material is external procurment then put V.

S : - If material is your in-house producation then put S.

In case of finish good in all manufacture plant maintain S and in C&F and CA plant put V.

Hello

In the SAP System, there are two types of price control:

Standard price & Moving average price.

These two types of price control differ in how they handle price variances resulting from goods receipts or invoice receipts.

Changing the Type of Price Control

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:

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.

An example is given below:

Standard price to Moving average price

Material A

Price control: S

Moving average Price: 8

Standard Price: 10

Total Stock: 100

Total Stock value: 1000

Now we change the material price control to 'V'. Then

Material A

Price control: M

Moving average price:10

Standard price: 10

Total Stock: 100

Total Stock value: 1000

Moving average to standard price

Material B

Price control: V

Moving average Price: 8

Standard Price: 0

Total Stock: 100

Total Stock value: 800

Now we change the material price control to 'S'. Then

Material B

Price control: S

Moving average price:8

Standard price: 8

Total Stock: 100

Total Stock value: 800

Hope this will clear your doubts.
