Header Data

Symptom 

When you try to post an invoice for the purchase order, the system generates error message M8783:'Moving average price for material & & & is negative'.

Other Terms 

MRHR, MR1M, MIRO, MMVAL, M8783

Reason and Prerequisites 

You posted a valuated goods receipt for a purchasing document for a material with moving averageprice control.When the invoice was posted (invoice item with price variance for goods receipt), thesystem generates error message M8783: 'Moving average price for material & & & is negative'.

Between the posting of the original goods receipt and the entry of the invoice, the system alreadyposted additional valuation-relevant transactions/events (goods movements, invoices and so on, canbe displayed with Transaction MR51).

The invoice verification tries (for stock coverage) to credit/subsequently debit the differencebetween the value of goods received and invoice item value for the stock.However, the material totalvalue must not become negative by this stock posting.

Solution 

Before you post the invoice, you must first increase the stock value.

The amount by which the stock value must be increased at least can be calculated from the followingvalues:

1. Transaction MM03, accounting view material master, field 'Total value' (MBEW-SALK3)

2. Invoice item value according to invoice

3. In the invoice verification (Transaction MR01, MR1M, MIRO), change the invoice item amount toa value which is high enough and simulate the invoice to receive the value which would be postedfor this item to the GR/IR account.

In the invoice verification, the value (3) minus (2) is posted to stock. It must be larger than(1).Post a subsequent debit with the amount (3) + (1) - (2) for the affected material/plant(Transaction MR22).You can post the invoice afterwards.
