Account grouping/Transaction keys PRD/DIF

[Former Member]

Hello Gurus

I have a situation that some MIRO posting are using PRD and some are using DIF transaction keys. For some reason The postings with DIF are not picking up the material thus resulting in putting dummy profit center.

Please advise the difference between PRD and DIF and how these are triggered during MIRO transactions.

Many thanks

Hi

DIF-This transaction is used in Invoice Verification if you define a tolerance for minor differences and the balance of an invoice does not exceed the tolerance.

PRD-Price differences arise for materials valuated at standard price in the case of all movements and invoices with a value that differs from the standard price. Depending on the settings for the posting rules for transaction/event key PRD, it is possible to work with or without account modification.

Hi Jayaram

Thank you for the reply, but I have two MIRO transactions one is using the PRD and the other one using the DIF key, can you please explain in what circumstances these get triggered?

The whole issue is that we have few MIRO postings with DIF with no material on the line item.

And we have few MIRO postings with PRD that has the material number on the line item.

The users want to see the material in all line items?

Any advise?

Thanks

Hi

In case of PRD, you will have material master with valuation class And it is meant for Price differences which arise due to materials maintained at Std price, whereas DIF is meant for Other differences apart from price differences. Both serve different purposes altogether. Hence please go through the transactions and accounts clearly in both the cases and you will notice the difference.

Hi,

I cannot help you derive material number on DIF line but one of your problems seems to be dummy profit center. You can still derive a good profit center by establishing some derivation rules. Use 3KEH in customizing and make sure that there is a line inserted for DIF GL account. Then click on profit center determination tab next to it and establish some rules, by say, company code and GL account etc. Apparently DIF line is generated like Jayaram pointed out, regardless of the specific material since an invoice can contain more than one material.

HI Jayaram/Surabhi

The see what you are saying and it make sense after I read your reply.

The reason that I say that few MIRO postings are using DIF is because the posting key 83 debit and 93 credit are defined in the OBYC for DIF.

So when I looked at the document in the Vendor acct (after I post MIRO), I see the profict center and material missing for posting keys 83 and 93 for some postings.

Wheras I can see the profict center and material for posting keys 86 and 96 for some othe MIRo postings which use these posting keys.

Of course all these postings are generated automatically

So my question is where do I make a setting to have the material and profict center generated for posting keys 83 and 93.

I appreciate your help on this critical issue for me.

Please advise.

Hi Saurabh

I dont see the GL acct used in MIRo postings defined in 3KEH.

May be its not defined because A particular GL acct can be hit by any material postings.

Its just my thinking.

please advise any other ideas

Thanks

Please insert a new line in 3KEH for the given GL Account. If the GL Account is part of a range maintained in 3KEH that is fine otherwise, insert a new line.

To enable profit center for posting keys, you can use posting key configuration under OB41. For the respective posting keys, edit field status under additional account assignments and make profit center optional.

Hi Saurabh

The issue is for the same GL acct 99999 (purchase price variance acct), few MIRO postings (with posting key 96) are generating Material and profit center.

And few MIROs with 93 posting key are not generating Material and profit center.

Is ther any config to do in Purchase Price variance?

I appreciate your help

Thanks

MSJ

So I dont know if I can put the Gl acct.
