Hello,

Have u checked the G/L assignment for transaction key 'PRD' with the chart of account GCOA for the valuation modif. / val class combination or in general?

You might have posted the MIRO for the same material/vendor previously, but now if your are adjusting some price variations (material with moving average price control) in MIRO, and without enough stock coverage, system will be hitting transaction type 'PRD' which is for Cost price difference.

Check the same and revert back.

Thank you very much for the reply.

I just checked the transaction key PRD, and it shows that there is no GL account in it. The four boxes in it are not ticked ( Debit/credit, general modification, valuation modification and valuation class) What should I do?

THanks again..

Hello,

Goto OBYC and for the Chart of accounts, maintain the GL account for your Valuation modifier and Valuation class.

In the Transaction key check (Tick) General modification, Valuation modifier, Valuation class.

And also check the Automatic determination box in the overview screen of OBYC.

This will resolve,

Hello Angela,

It depends on your requirement that how you want to post the price difference in your business.

If you want all the price difference entries to be posted to the same account, maintain G/L accounts for debit and credit there.

And if you want that valuation class wise, maintain G/Ls against valuation classes.

Valuation modification is nothing but your valuation grouping code.

Hi Gregory,

Thanks for telling me about the price difference. I just learned that the user changed the price of the PO after it was GRd. That could be the reason why the difference went to the transaction key PRD.

Thanks a lot!

go to OBYC and check the GL account for that company code for PRD
