1955550 - Journal Entry Voucher for Materials Does Not Update Inventory Cost - SAP Business ByDesign

Symptom

A journal entry voucher with type 087 — Manual Entry for Materials and screen variant 630 – Manual Write-Up/Write-Down for Materials does not update the inventory cost of the material.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to General Ledger work center.
  2. Go to Journal Entries View.
  3. Go to Journal Entry Voucher sub-view.
  4. Create a New Journal Entry Voucher with type 087 — Manual Entry for Materials.
  5. Select the screen variant as 630 – Manual Write-Up/Write-Down for Materials.
  6. Enter the relevant details and Post the Journal Entry Voucher.
  7. Navigate to Inventory Valuation work center.
  8. The Material Cost is not updated although the cost method of the material is maintained as Moving Average.

Cause

  • The journal entry voucher has been created with G/L Account of type Purchase Price Difference.
  • These are differences accounts and therefore by using the Write-up and Write down these accounts will be balanced. This does not update the inventory cost of the material.

Resolution

  • To update the material cost, it's necessary to post the manual entry to the Inventory G/L accounts and not differences accounts.
  • These are basically Asset accounts. Posting to these accounts hits the material ledger, and it will be reflected in the Material Cost.
