The price for material XXXXXXXX will be negative

Diagnosis

The system calculated a negative moving average price for the material.

System response

The moving average price is set to zero for materials with price control S.

Processing is terminated for materials with price control V, because the system is not set up to handle negative prices for such materials.

Material we are activated matterial ledger due to here we have two currency comp code and group code currrency.

We are uploaded material price for CC.not for group code currency. So this is reason system throwing material price negitve.

Hi,

I hope your System is activated to Material Ledger.Then we need to maintain as per the SAP Best Practice , to maintain the price at the standard Price, to get the actual costing and to attain the periodic Unit Price and the Variances of the same.
