System posts to PRD account for moving average price material.

Hi,

We are procuring spare parts (ERSA) externally, which is having price control as MAP. While doing GR, system shows message "Account 602042 required an assignment to a CO object." Here the problem is account 602042 is a price difference (PRD) account. Why should system ask for a G/L, which is mentioned in PRD in this case.

Please note that this is first movement for the material and stock is zero in plant. There are no material documents for this material.

Please suggest.

Regards

Alex

Hello Alex,

Please check whether Material ledger is activated for the plant and since its ERSA and MAP, the settlement type will be

"2 transaction based"

This happens if ML is activated with transaction based settlement.

There is an OSS note from SAP explaining this functionality. Will get you the note number as its not available handy with me now.

The M8147 error is because of the corresponding entry

mismatch in T030 table .For resolving this we need to make a

corresponding entry in transaction OBYC (the menu path in

SPRO is as follows)

Materials Management

-> Valuation and Account Assignment

-> Account Determination

-> Account Determination Without Wizard

-> Configure Automatic Postings

Hi,

602042 is a price difference (PRD) account is P&L account. Generally the P&L account will be assigned with cost element & cost element will assign with pofit center.

this way the cost is carry out. so, might be all inventory related P&L account will be assigned with cost element.

Check in transaction OKB9. there the assignment has to done.

Thanks and Regards

Hey Alex,

Is the ML activated for that material with transaction based settlement?

If ML is active, then this can happen. Please see note 532932 FAQ: Valuation logic with active material ledger.

**********

material is valuated by the inventory management similarly to the posting logic of a material managed by a standard price. The accounting document generated by the inventory management shows this posting logic; the amount posted in the material document corresponds to the product from quantity and moving average price and not to the externally assigned value.

Generated accounting lines of the material ledger (depending on the material ledger settlement control) then valuate the stock.

Example:

Material: Testmat 1

Price control: V

Moving average price: 10 EUR/PC

Purchase Order: 10 PCS for 150 EUR

> goods receipt for the purchase order for 10 PCS

Acctg documents:

1) GR document:

BSX 100 EUR D

WRX 150 EUR C

PRD 50 EUR D

2) ML document:

BSX 50 EUR D

PRY 50 EUR C

Hi

Check the PO whether it is an account assigned PO also check whether the material type has only quantity update.If so then the sysem will pick the GL account from GBB against the account mofifier maintained against the account assignment category (in PO)
