Transfer between Plants accounting.

[fortian]

Hi experts,

We are transferring a material between plants using movement type 301 (MB1B).

Material price control is 'V' in both plants, nevertheless in some transfers, the accounting document shows an amount in the G/L Account informed in the transaction AUM from OBYC.

We though this account shouldn't appear as the price control is 'V'.

Why is this account appearing? How can we find out why is this account appearing?

Thanks

Hi

check your moving average price of material in both the plant ,I am sure its different not same in both plant

AUM: Whenever you are transferring a material from a supplying plant to Receiving plant. When the MAP between the two plants are maintained at different cost. The loss / revenue will get posted to the AUM Key.

check following link it will clear you

Hi kailasugale,

Thanks for your answer.

We are trying to reproduce this behaviour in our sandbox system. As we don't know why had happened in our Productive System.

The price in both plants was different before the transfer, as the stock in the receiving plant was zero, after the transfer both prices became equals. In this case the account of transaction AUM did not appear.

In your link we read: "Price differences can arise for materials with moving average price if stock levels are negative..."

So we made a transfer with higher amount than the available in order to get a negative stock. Despite this action the account in the AUM transaction did not appear.

We have no idea how to reproduce this situation in the productive system.

Thanks

In this case system has reacted as per the standard behavior as the price control at both plants are (V) moving average price.

Price differences can arise for materials with moving average price if stock levels are negative and the stock value becomes unrealistic as a result of the posting. Transaction AUM can be used irrespective of whether the transfer posting involves a transfer between plants. The expenditure/income is added to the receiving material.

hope this will clear your doubts...
