Invoice for a planned delivery cost, without sufficient stock (MAP)

[yusufgezer]

Hi friends,

I'd like to ask you something about entering planned delivery costs.

Firstly let me tell you the case I know.

When we enter an invoice for a received material with moving average price, if there is no sufficient stock existing then the system uses the price difference account.

I wonder if the same thing is valid in the case of entering invoice for planned delivery costs for materials with moving average price when there is no sufficient stock existing?

And if the cases are same, is this situation acceptable from accounting point of view?

Thank you in advance,

Best regards,

Yusuf

Even in Case of Invoice for Planned delivery costs, the difference will go to Price difference account IF there is insufficient stock coverage.

This is a common in cases where the Material in question is not a regular item ( regular Items generally have sufficient coverage) ,and the transporter provides a Bill at a much late time , specialy after the material has been consumed.

Normally companies use Tolerances in MIRO ,to maintain control.

The Auditors do Check the PRD Account closely , specialy in case if the Product is a MAP relevant product . It just boils down to , how you can explain that particular case to the Auditors. ( You can show them through MB5B that on posting date of MIRO, there was insufficient stock).

Thank you friends.

I think I understand. In the case of insufficient stock if there is a variance between GR and IR values there will be a price difference account debit or credit. This is valid also for planned delivery costs.

you only hit the price difference account when the PO price (planned delivery costs too) in the invoice is different from the PO price at GR time AND when you dont have suffient stock.

From my point of view you should ask your accountants if they find it acceptable to have a different prices in PO and invoice.
