Accrual Calculation Logic for Valuated GR

[salmanakram]

Can someone pls advice why our actual cost calculation for a PO with valuated GR could be wrong?

Per my understanding PO (goods or service based) with a valuated GR, the actual cost for accruals is determined based on the GR only and not IR. In our case while calculating actual cost its taking both GR and IR amounts into consideration. Would you know why that could be the case?For example:-If during a particular MEC planned cost was $1000. IR was for $200. GR was for $500. Accrual should be = 1000 - 500 = 500. But we are getting Accrual as = 1000 - 500 - 200 = 300

Hi salmanakram

There are several different calculation methods for Purchase Order Accruals. Please review the help

Accruals Calculation for Purchase Order Accruals | SAP Help Portal

Section for Accrual Method SPLN-ACT - planned costs minus actual costs (assuming you refere to this method), explains the sequence and the behavior for the actual costs already posted, which includes both GR and IR.

IR posting may include actual costs, so should be included in the accrual calculation. You can explore other methods if this ones doesn't fulfill you needs.

You also have the option to adjust them at MEC. Review this help about:
