Can't apply invoice to PO 45XXXXXXXX

Former Member

Here is what happened:

1. PO was received in at a higher cost than should be.

2. I correct the cost using MR21.

3. Now, the invoice cannot be applied to this PO. Why and how do we fix?

Error that we are receiving is "Moving average price for material is negative"

Thanks

Hi,

Change the PO price as per the moving average price which you have maintained through MR21 and then try posting the invoice.

or reverse all the related transactions and redo the same with corrected PO price.

Check in your material master what is MAV price.If it is nagative check why it is nagative.

Then you have to change your material price again MR21 transaction for doing invoice.

of course the MAP is not negative, as this is not allowed in SAP.

But you receive the message because it would beome negative, if it woud be allowed to post the invoice.

You have a huge difference between invoice value and GR value.

And you had one or many goods issues with a to high value because of the wrong MAP.

The invoice receipt tries to distribute the difference to the stock value.

As the difference is higher than your current stock value, the MAP would become negative.

You either have to increase the MAP with MR21 to get a stock value that is higher than your invoice difference, or your have to reverse your movements.
