In the SAP System, you can post goods movements to the previous period. As a result, the stock quantity and the stock value change in both the previous period and the current period.

Posting a Goods Receipt to a Previous Period for a Material Subject to Moving Average Price Control (MAP).

 ( )

The data from before the goods were received shows that goods receipts (400 pieces with a value of 5,600) have already been posted in the current period.

Posting the goods receipt to the previous period leads to a change in stock quantity and stock value in both the previous period and the current period. Since the purchase order price for the goods receipt does not differ from the moving average price (MAP) in the previous period in this example, the MAP does not change in the previous period. However, the MAP does change in the current period.
