Movement type 161 and moving average price questions

[former_member237699]

Hello

I have a question regarding how SAP updates the MAP during returns processing. It is not possible for the client to find the correct document to do a return so they dont use 122, and the price for the return is each time a discussion with the vendor.

So when a PO with return indicator is made, and a price is set on the PO, the system uses this value to update the stock value during GI of delivery. The MAP is updated and if the price on the PO is low the MAP will increase and for some more expensive materials it creates problems and unrealistic MAP.

Is there a way to get the return only use the  existing MAP during goods movement and not the price in PO for returns? So that the return process does not change the MAP?

Or is there a better way to solve this?

regards

Ivar

Hi,

Your PO created for material and material is received but now you want to return material to vender where material have MAP (Moving average price calculate on Total stock value / Total stock quantity)

Again you want current MAP material should carry into return PO, so better check condition type related for your material price in PO. Now try keeping T(Moving cost) in condition category for that condition type in t.code: M/06 and correspondingly update your MM Pricing procedure with changed condition type in t.code:M/08

Now try creating return PO and check which MAP picks by material!

Hi,

    You may refer the thread: which explains the option to bring a different price for return PO. You may use the same logic to bring the MAP as PO price for return orders by using the condition category as T.

    But if the MAP is changed after creation of PO, the above method wont help. You may check the option of redetermining the PO price before doing 161.

While using Movement Type 161 click on Return Indicator in PO. If there is change in price system will always take average price i.e Present Price+ Old Price/2.

Hope it would help your cause.

Hi,

It is a normal thing that you return with the PO price . when u use the ret indicato9r in the PO . Please check the below link.

I'm afraid there is not much you can do about it, Ivar; the closest you can do to get to MAP as RetPO price is to define your own Price Condition and use custom Condition Formula (in Pricing Schema) to fetch the MAP from material and put it into PO... even with that, you can get MAP at the moment of RetPO creation, yet it can still be changed by the time of 161 posting.

But still, the process is just weird -- either the return should be done with ref to original PO & its price (122), or the RetPO should just run some normal price determination (or buyer should specify the price). With the "use MAP as RetPO price" you are asking you vendor to trust your MAP calculation... are they really willing to accept Returns where you decide what is the price?
