Automatic Purchase price variance posted by AX when Post the PO invoice -AX 2012 R3

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Community Member

Dear All,

I faced the error as below:

- When i try to post the PO invoice in Sep period and the Oct period is close. AX display the error message "Fiscal Period for 10/04/2017 is closed".

- After open the Oct period, AX automatically posted the Purchase price variance in 10/04/2017. The amount quite small actually.

- I'm using standard cost for the item on PO invoice.

-> Could any one explain the reason might cause this issue?

-> Is it the standard behavior of AX for rounding?

-> Is there any way to solve this issue rather than open the "Closed" period? 

Thank in advance,

Best regards,

    Hi Thu Ngo,

    A purchase price variance is usually triggered by a difference between the purchase price ordered and invoiced. Why do you think that it is related to rounding?

    About the data issue:

    Has an inventory close for September been made that forces you to record the transaction in October?

    Have you experienced similar issues in the previous months or is this the first time this problem came up?

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    Hi Ludwig,

    Thank you for your reply.

    We don't use Inventory close at month end because we using standard cost.

    And I still not close Sep yet. This occur several times actually.

    Last time our Technical help to check and said there is a rounding code make the Purchase price variance entry.

    Do you have any suggestion for this case? Is there any way to solve this issue rather than open the "Closed" period?

    Best regards

    Hi Thu Ngo,

    What you can try is changing the session data back to September.

    However, as your technical colleagues already had a look at this, they must know the underlying reason.

    If it is related to a wrong rounding transaction, a hotfix might help to overcome this issue. So, probably talk to your colleagues once again and ask whether this wrong rounding transaction that is classified as purchase Price variance can be fixed by applying a hotfix.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    Hi Ludwig,

    I tried to change the session date, but it doesn't work. So there is no other suggestion for this case?

    Hi Ludwig,

    Thank for your help.

    We changed the system date and it works. We checked and found that when posted the PO invoice, there is a different between Inventory receipt and Product receipt.

    And we also found some interesting information:
