moving average price for article is negative

[Former Member]

Hi gurus,

We are facing this error during invoice verification,

Moving average price for article/material is negative : article/material 155521 4001

I have searched the forum and got the transaction S_P00_07000139 to track how it went to negative,

but i am having difficulty to identify which column i have to look into to see what caused the negative price.

If i am in a wrong direction, please advise me gurus how to get rid of this error and measures to avoid in future.

Thanks in advance,

Kind regards,

Gopio.

the goods receipt was posted with a too high value.

then the too high valuated stock is already consumed partly.

now you post an invoice with the correct value.

SAP tries to distribute the difference to the remaining quantity.

But the difference is higher than the current stock value.

This would then result in a negative total value and negative MAP, which is not allowed.

either reverse the consumptions and the wrong valuated receipt, then correct the PO price and redo GR and consumptions.

or adjust the stock value with MR21 to get a value that is egual or higher than the difference you need to post with the invoice.

Hi jurgen,

The P.O. is actually a returns P.O.

The history of P.O. is

1) P.O. raised for price of $37.17

2) outbound delivery created for purchase order through vl10b.

3) Goods issue and Goods reciept in one article/material document.

G.I. for a price of 31.98

G.R. for a price of 37.17.

If this information helps gurus, please advise how to proceed.

Thanks,

Regards,

Gopio.

The price in p.o. is 37.17$

Hi

Please check transaction OMJ1. Here you set "Negative stock allowed". If set, remove the indicator. This would prevent any invoice posting that will cause negative stock value as well as returns to vendor / supplier if the return is more than current stock value.

This error is because the price in the PO has been changed after the GR. Check the PO change history
