STPO- Goods issue value is Zero

[Former Member]

Dear All,

I have one Stock Transfer Scenario, Plant A To Plant B in same co code

transferring material through STPO --> & further GR at Plant B

the material is maintained with the zero price in plant B,

Now i want to issue that particular material to cost center it shows issue value zero,

I know that at the time of oubound delivery the accounting document generated but while doing GR against PO the quantities are updated in palnt B but not the price,

The material is maintained with s-std price,

please advise further

Hi,

Why you have separate price for same material between two Plant A and Plant B.

If  material is maintained with s-std price with separate price between plants such as says--two Plant A and Plant B, then during STO posting,the material valution posting will be respect to issuing plant(Plant A) only and you will have following accounting entries.

Supplying Plant A ---Stock Account. BSX -

Receiving Plant B ---Stock Account. BSX -

AND

Expense/revenue from stock transfer Account. AUM-

In your case all accounting document  will be generated while doing PGI only and no accounting document will be generated at good receipt. As you maintained s-std price at receiving Plant B( which is ZERO), so Price Difference account triggers with as AUM key for Expense/revenue from stock transfer.

Why did you maintained the price control "S" Standard price in Receiving plant B?

Since the price is not maintained for your Material in Plant B, AUM account will be triggered instead of BSX. Please check the same once.

If required, reverse the transaction and change the price using MR21 transaction and then redo it..

I dont understand what is the problem if it is that the material issue value is zero, it is since you have std price for the material  and is maintained as zero.

Hi,

Following points represents the standard system behavior in STPO,

1) Goods issue (PGI in supplying plant A) always happens at supplying plant cost

2) Receiving plant (Plant B) stock account gets debited at the time of PGI in supplying plant (Plant A). The accounting entry at the time of PGI in supplying plant (Plant A) will be as below,

Receiving Plant stock account......Debit

    Supplying Plant stock account.....Credit

Now, as you have maintained zero price with price control S in the receiving plant, system will post the difference to the price difference account. Check the PGI accounting entry at supplying plant.

3) In the receiving plant , non-valuated goods receipt is posted. System will not generate any accounting document at the time of GR in receiving plant because the stock account of receiving plant is already debited at the time of PGI in supplying plant.

So, when you post GR against PO in receiving plant B, you will not get price update.

Thanks Shailesh,

one thing i want to clear is -

You mean to say that I have to maintain Price of item before transferring to another plant in that particular plant.please help, how to do it in mass transaction

[ajitkumar]

since you have not maintained any price you can use MR21. Make an LSMW for that for mass entriies . See also note 1122813.

when you change price thru MR21, it will hit the txn key UMB

Hi,

Update the price through MR21. You can use LSMW or BDC for mass update. But before updating price through MR21, check whether you have stock of those materials because if stock exists then system will post an entry to the price difference account.
