Question:
Hi all...
I have defined stock account for materials in automatic postings (BSX)
When I do invoice verification I need to post price differences (PRD) on that same stock account, not on stock change account as they are often done.
When I try to change that account in automatic postings, I get an error that this account is already used in BSX.
How do I post these price differences on the same material stock account?
Answer:
Price differences are posted to the stock account as long as the stock is still present. When the stock is no longer present (or only partial), the price difference for the quantity no longer in stock, will be posted to PRD.
Example:
You had 20 in stock at price 10.
You receive 100 additional in stock at price 10: new stock quantity 120 at price 10.
You issue 30: new stock quantity 90 at price 10.
You receive an invoice for 100 at price 11.
Only 90 are still in stock, so the price difference of 90 of the 100 will be posted to BSX. The price difference of the quantity no longer in stock (10) will be posted to PRD.
SAP only compares quantities in stock with invoiced quantities to see whether the stock covers the invoiced quantities. To calculate the price difference the invoice price is compared to the PO price valid at moment of GR.

Thanks for you Reply!
However we have plenty of stock ie. the invoiced quantity is way below that. However if the invoice differs from PO value the difference is posted on a price difference account.
Answer:
Are you sure that the material is not valuated at a standard price?

Answer:
The material is valuated using moving average V.
Answer:
Do you use split valuation of any kind?

Hi,
Guest has posted an interesting query here.
Bart this is related to the OBYC setting.
I am also not sure why this is happening. Tried out in my system also and is getting the same error as guest is getting. Could any one help understand the issue. Searched for OSS Notes and could not find anything
Regards
Matt
Answer:
Ok, sorry for bothering you guys.
Seems that I was using MIRO in a wrong way. When invoice differed from PO value I entered the new value in the header total field, instead of updating the price in the item line...
The upper case posts the difference on price difference account whle the right way is working the way it supposed to be.
Answer:
Hi Biju,
This is the standard accounting concept that any account used in asset balance sheet account can not be used for another account determination.
Hi Guest,
It might be true that the price difference was posted to price difference account (PRD) instead of BSX was due to the fact that you have accepted the total-based invoice reduction.
Cheers,

Hi Ha Tran,

Does that imply any accounts used in BSX at OBYC is an asset balance sheet account and canoot be used in other transaction keys like PRD?
What all transaction keys hit Balance Sheet Account apart from BSX?
