Question from Tony Vernon/FW on Mar 7 at 5:59 AM Hello,
I am working to set up Material Ledger and am having a small inconsistency with the SAP Press documentation. According to that, the Material Ledger report should show the price variance on Invoice Receipt, if the IR changes the price from the PO.
This is an IDES system. I create a PO for material SK-1000-1000 that has a Standard cost of 3,067.75, and I use that amount on the PO for a quantity of 1. I then do an IR through MIRO for the amount of 2,900, non-taxable to simplify the entry. When I enter the price manually on the line item after putting in the PO, and post the IR, the document posted has 2,900 posting key 31 on the vendor, and 2,900 posting key 86 on the GR/IR. There is no variance recorded. On CKM3, the entries under the invoice are all zeros - it is listed as a line item, but all zeros in the columns. This has been true for all invoices I've put in. Then, when I do the GR, the variance shows up. The GR has a posting key 89 against Unfinished Products for 3067.75, 96 against the GR/IR for the amount of the IR, and the remainder posting key 93 to 281000, which is the price variance account.
The only thing I can think of here is that I haven't changed the conditions on the IR, just the price. But, when I try to do that, I get an error V1227 that the conditions can't be changed - something about the status of the document. I looked online and it sounds like that should occur when there's PO history, but I got it on a fresh PO just now.
Sorry for the lengthy post. If this rings any bells in terms of having the IR display a variance, please let me know. Thanks in advance!
Tony
