Support Issue:

Purchase Order was created for 10 PC and the price of Material per PC is 200$. User posted IR for 2000$ but the quantity was given as 1 PC which increased the MAP drastically.

Then the GR was posted for 10 PC. But system took correct price for 9 PC only from PO and remaining 1PC cost was taken from the wrong IR. Finally MAP became completely wrong. During this time, if business posted few transactions like transfer to other plants and sales etc., it would make the issue even more complicated.

This caused high MAP and loaded on COGS account etc. during sales. And also, stock account of other plant is increased.

Root Cause: After posting such huge wrong invoice, Goods Receipt was posted so the price was taken from Invoice for 1 PC and remaining 9 PC price was taken from the PO. Finally MAP of the Material is increased.

Solution: This is really complicated as the business found the case after few days. In this mean time some of the stock was sold and transferred to other plants.

At high level, you need to follow the below steps to clear the issue.

S.No.	Activity	Transaction Code
1	Increase stock to 10 PC with 202 movement type with dummy cost center.	MIGO
2	Cancel wrong GR to reduce the stock and correct the amount.	MIGO
3	Update Price as per the requirement or else IR cancellation will give an error as Material Price goes to negative. If that error is not available, this step is not required.	MR21
4	Cancel wrong IR – If there is any old exchange rate requirement, it needs to be updated in PO and use Exchange rate fixed indicator under Delivery/Invoice tab.	MR8M/MIRO-Credit Memo
5	Post GR	MIGO
6	Post correct IR with correct amount	MIRO
7	Cancel corrected 202 document	MIGO
8	Update the price as per the actual MAP	MR21

When we increase the Price in MR21, the material document will be created, and the accounting entries are given below.

Stock Account – BSX – Debit

Revenue/expense from revaluation – UMB – Credit

When we decrease the Price in MR21, the material document will be created, and the accounting entries are given below.

Stock Account – BSX – Credit

Revenue/expense from revaluation – UMB – Debit

After these steps, business will see huge negative value in the G/L account related to Revenue/expense from revaluation. So, business needs to verify the goods movements happened during those few days with wrong price and update the Price to normal in all the plants where the MAP is huge. This helps to reduce the negative amount on the above G/L.

If there is still negative, that amount needs to be manually reclassed to COGS account by finance with FB50 Transaction code in SAP FICO.
