Hi,
When we are trying to invoice a material with Quanity 5 and Price/unit =0.27 making the amount 1.35 (and 1.49 after tax) the system is giving an error saying Moving Average Price for material is negative.
The MB5B list is attached.
Can you please advice why we are receiving the error?
The error details are as follows:
Moving average price for material is negative: 40436107 5004
- Message no. M8783
Diagnosis
This item would create a stock value posting which would result in a negative moving
average price for the material.
Note:
The category of this message can be changed in Customizing for Invoice
Verification. This means that you can receive a message as an error message
even though it is defined as a warning message in the standard system.
The following documentation deals with the case applicable to the standard
system only.
System Response
The system does not allow a negative moving average price.
Procedure
Check your entry in the field "Amount" and correct it if necessary.
If your entry is correct, check the following for the material
- the
stock value - (Environment -> Master data
info -> Display material) - the
posting history (Environment -> Line items
-> For material).It might
be necessary to cancel past postings (for example, incorrectly valuated goods
receipts or incorrect price changes), before you can carry out your posting.If you
wish to carry out a price change, the total stock of the material may be
negative. A price cannot be changed if the stock is negative.
