Hi Kavita,

Mr Hemachandra has explained all posible reasons, but one more reason may be that standard price of material is different in two periods (manually changed by T.Code MR21), and you are doing back dated entries.

Check price in both periods (current & Previous) in MM03 and change standard price of material with T.Code MR21 if you find diference.

It may help.

It should be already resolved.

Hello,

1) This could be the result of manual incorrect entries in this operation or previous operations (use Transaction

CKMD

to get an overview of the operations for the material in local currency).

2) Please proceed according to note

174684

. This is not a program bug but the negative value followed by the posted business transactions.

The invoice wants to credit for a value bigger than the stock value.

So it´s necessary to correct the cause of error message by posting a positive price difference to the material using TA MR22.

Therefore, you should use transaction MR22 to increase the stock value of that material.

Hope this clarifies you.

Hemachandra K S
