3331038 - Small Not Allocated price difference in Material Price Analysis

Symptom

When checking Material Price Analysis for a material, you notice that there is a small price difference as 0.01 under Not Allocated tab.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Enter app "Manage Material Valuations";
  2. Select the material and plant;
  3. Go to "Material Price Analysis";
  4. Check the Not Allocated value.

Cause

These small price differences are rounding differences caused by the difference between the Cumulative Inventory to the final Consumption and Ending Inventory, since the formula Beginning Inventory + Receipts = Cumulative Inventory = Consumption + Ending Inventory has to be in accordance. In a multilevel consumption scenario, such rounding differences result from rounding in multilevel price determination and cannot be avoided. This difference is then dynamically displayed in "Material Price Analysis" as 'Not allocated' price differences to adjust the total price differences allocated to consumption. 

Exemple: Cumulative Inventory = 123.40

Consumption = 102.35

Ending Inventory = 21.06

Consumption + Ending Inventory = 123.41

Price Difference = -0.01 (in order to maintain the condition Cumulative Inventory = Consumption + Ending Inventory)

Resolution

These rounding effects are small and cannot be avoided. Correct system behavior.
