moving avergae price error

[Former Member]

Hi,

We have found something very strange with the moving average price on

this item. Yesterday it was showing as 1.12/100 and today it shows

0.18/100. We have had no receipts, issues, adjustments, etc. on this

item since 4/3/09. I ran all transactions on this since 11/1 and

reviewed the transactions costs didn't find anything that stuck out to

explain this.

Can you help us understand why the moving average price changed

Yes Anusha..this is the reason of MAP changed.

Check the price mentioned in to PO of movement type 101.

but the problem is these movements occurred before 04/03/2009. Till April 3rd it was showing as 1.12/ per 100 but now it is showing as 0.18/ per 100. i cannot understand why this change.

if you have stock, then any price change will result in an accounting document. Hence check in MR51.

If you dont have stock, then just check the change history of your material master whether the price was changed manually (MM04)

Hi,

from what you have explained, it seems that since the price has gone up, there is a possibility that an invoice receipt has been posted with a price higher than the material/PO price.

Since you have checked other processes, but not invoice receipts, please check it now.

The moving average price will increase if the invoice is posted at a higher price than what was planned for this material.

Hope this should help.

I just checked the PO for that material and it did not have any PO history tab and threfore no invoice was received

Check for an accounting document that was posted yesterday or today in MR51.

Hi,

Did you allow any MAP change through other transaction such as MRN0?

Please check.

If there are no GR's and IR s existing then check if there is any delivery created.This is valuated as quantity to be posted * total value / total stock

Hi

Check in MB51 is any documents are posted(back dated) or in CKMPCD any material revaluation document has been posted. Same time invoice posting (direct posting to material) will also revaluates the material price.

Thanks

Hi,

Check t.code MM19(Moving avg price on key date) and t.code MB5b for any movements for the period.

Or else check for whether invoice verification is done for the material because LIV also has got impact on moving average price.
