Price difference in inovice(scheduling agreement)

Hello Gurus,
Can anyone please suggest me on the systems unknown behaviour given below.
We have scheduling agreement in currency GBP and Local currency EUR, when we post GR, it is getting posted perfectly i.e with proper accounting entries as Inventory account to GR IR account and proper values . But when we post the Invoice system is crediting the same GRIR amount to vendor account which is right and debiting a huge unknown figure to Price difference account and the difference between these two is getting credited to GRIR account. This is completely out of logic.
Exchange rates are perfectly ok. when we create another scheduling agreement with the same data(as old scheduling agreement) it is working fine. now I am not able to find out where the problem is, can anyone suggest on this.
Thank you,
Srinivas

Hi Srinivas,
This will happen normally when the price in MMSA difference from the current standard cost estimate in material master.  The difference between these two will post to Price difference account normally.
Check what is the last costing period/year for that material.  Complete the costing run for current period and post now.  It solves your problem
~Thanks!

  • Difference between Scheduling agreement delivery schedule and PO delivery s

    Dear All,
    Please tell the difference between the Scheduling agreement delivey schedule and PO delivery schdule.
    In PO itself, we can give the delivery schedule.
    Then what is the purpose of making scheduling agreement and maintain schedule in ME38?
    Regards

    Hi,
    Difference between Scheduling agreement and PO is while PO is a legal document whatever the delivery schedules you mention in PO, you are liable to pay for the entire qty in case of cancellation
    In case of scheduling agreement, we have Firm Zone and Tradeoff Zone to provide some cushion against paying for the entire qty you have ordered
    Firm zone: (go-ahead for production)
    If the date of a schedule line lies within the firm zone, the vendor has the go-ahead to produce the relevant quantity with the assurance that the orderer will bear any and all material and production costs associated with the scheduled quantity in the event of subsequent cancellation by the latter.
    Trade-off zone: (go-ahead for procurement of input materials)
    If the date of a schedule line lies within the trade-off zone, the vendor has the go-ahead to purchase any input materials necessary to produce the scheduled quantity. The orderer will recompense him in full for such outlay (but not for any other production costs) in the event that he should subsequently cancel the scheduled quantity.
    Schedule lines that lie beyond the firm and trade-off zones fall within the planning zone (forecast zone) and are for rough guidance only, being without any commitment on the part of the orderer.
    In case of PO if you want to cancel the order, you are liable to pay for the entire quantity, while in case of Scheduling agreement if you want to cancel the schedule and if the days fall in Firm zone or trade off zone or planning zone you have to pay only for raw materials or assembled products according to the above description

  • Price changes in Scheduling Agreement

    Hi,
    What is the best way to handle price changes in a Scheduling Agreement? From what I saw, the validity periods of the prices maintained in a scheduling Agreement is based on the GR date. Is there any way we can change this? The requirement is to make the validity price work on the delivery schedule date.
    Right now, whenever a price change happens, we have to add a new line in the scheduling agreement. This doesn't seem right. Please advise.
    Thanks
    Ranjeet

    Hi,
    Your date for pricing is controlled by Pricing date category u maintain in Vendor master >Purchasing view
    If you select delivery date as your pricing and if there are many delivery dates the first delivery date is taken as
    the reference for pricing
    But if there is no much price variation between delivery schedule date and Goods receipt you can keep that as
    goods receipt date
    Check out whatever suitable

  • Price Change in Scheduling Agreement

    Dear All,
    I have created a SA for one material. Here we want to procure that material for 10 plants/Company codes. So i have created 10 different line items. After partial GR the price got changed for this material. Now I want to change the price which effects from today onwards for all the plants/CC. Is there anyway so that instead of changing the price in all the line items, i will change once, so that new price will apply to all the line items. Looking for inputs
    regds,
    CB

    Hi
    There are 2 options.
    Either you have to change the price for all the line item in the scheduling agreement
    Or Change the price in the Purchasing Inforecord for all the plants and set the price date category as 5-GR Date. And change price date category in Scheduling agreement as well. In future you can maintain the price only in the Purchasing inforecord.
    Since the valuation area is at plant level you have no option to enter the price in one place to effect on all the plants.
    Hope it helps
    Thanks/karthik

  • Scheduling agreement created with reference to contract-Issue

    Hi all,
               I had posted a query as how to update net price in the contract/scheduling agreement if the condition price is updated through inbound Idocs.I got the correct answer  as you need to run the report RM06ENP0/RM06ENP1 as per note 685117.
    But now I am having a different issue;the scenario is like: A scheduling agreement is created with reference to contract.So the SA is linked to contract now.I am now going to change the condition price of SA through Inbound Idoc.After the updation ,the condition price gets changed in all cases.
    In one server,I found that the net price gets updated and the link btn contract and SA is broken without running the report RM06ENP1(Ideal situation,this is what I want).In other server ,I found the net price is not getting updated,ie the link is not broken even after running the report RM06ENP1.
    Can anybody tell me why the second situation is happening?

    Hi,
    i have done ur scenario. According to ur scenario, quantity contract is created for 100 units may be kg, pc etc.. Then scheduling agreement is created with reference to that contract but for 200 units may be kg, pc etc.. Scheduling agreement is created without getting any error or warning message.
    In the Next step, i.e. maintain delivery schedule( Tcode: ME38). U get the ERROR message as Scheduling agreement document number xxxxx is does not exist after entering scheduling agreement number in the initial screen of ME38.
    if this information is useful for u, reward me according to ur usage.

    You can use standard functionality Billing Plan in SD.
    If it is Fixed Billing scheduling then go for Periodic Billing Plan.
    Else for Flexible Billing scheduling or milestone, then go for Milestone Billing plan.

    In standard, scale prices have been defined for a scheduling agreement
    item. When a goods receipt is posted, the scale price applicable to
    the target quantity of the scheduling agreement item is applied for
    valuation purposes.
    For schedule agreements the SAP standard is to use the target quantity
    for price determination.
    User exit EXIT_SAPLEINR_003 exists using which you can influence the
    quantity and the date of the price determination at the time of the
    goods receipt for the scheduling agreement. However, you need to bear in
    mind that when you call up the user exit, the quantity of goods received
    actually to be posted does not yet exist. The schedule lines are
    available in internal table CETT which can be used.
    In the standard system, the EXIT_SAPLEINR_003 is run when a goods
    receipt is posted for the scheduling agreement or purchase order when
    item has the pricing date (price category) = "5" (goods receipt date).
    For scheduling agreement document type, pricing category is always 5 if
    time dependent conditions are used for that document type.

    2. Suppose in the scheduling agreement, mat1 net price is 20 and agreement id for 2 years and after 1 year market prices rise very high and the mat1 net price is 40.Then how do we handle this kind of situation.
    Pls Reply.

  • Difference between Purchase Order and Scheduling Agreement

    Can any one explain the main differences between a Purchase Order and a Scheduling Agreement?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    A Purchase Order is a document that is given to Vendor to indicate our intention to buy goods from them. It contains what is the desired goods, how much quantity, price, and the delivery date, among other things.
    A standard procurement cycle for this is:
    PR --> PO --> GR --> IV
    A Scheduling Agreement however, is a type of an Outline Agreement. Outline Agreements are divided into 2, first one is Contracts and second is Scheduling Agreement. So this is basically a long term agreement with a particular vendor that contains details on what is the desired goods, quantity, and the exact delivery dates.
    A standard cycle for this is:
    PR --> Create Scheduling Agreement --> Maintain Delivery Schedule (agreed dates on when vendor will send the goods and time) --> GR --> IV
    As you can see, for Scheduling Agreement, PO is not required, but instead we would need to Maintain Delivery Schedule.
    Just to share on Contracts, it appears as below:
    PR --> Contract Creation --> PO --> GR --> IV

  • Difference between Scheduling Agreement & Contract

    Hi Friends,
    What is the difference between Scheduling Agreement & Contract? Please explain with examples.
    Thanks & Regards
    Saeed Arif

    Hi,
    Contract: is an agreement between the company & sold-to-party (customer)
    It is of 2 types Quantity Contract & Value Contract. Every contract has a validity period. In quantity contract you have an agreement about the quantity to be sold to customer and you can have special prices for the contracts. In general any customer enters into contract for a price benefit and from company's prospective it will assure the company that customer would not go to competitor.
    It is created in SAP using VA41. Every contract has a contract no and when ever customer wants material he will create a sales order (called Release Order) and it is created with ref to contract no. all the release orders are updated in contract document flow. with in the contract validity period customer can create a no of release orders till the target contract value is reached. if the target value is reached you can extend the contract or close it as per your requirement.
    Scheduling agreement: is also a contract between company and sol-to-party. the difference here is in scheduling agreement customer will tell in contract itself what product he wants, what quantity he wants and when the delivery is to be made. so in scheduling agreement only you have schedule lines created and when the delivery dates is reached you can directly create a delivery with ref to contract and no separate sales order (release orders) are required for this type of contracts.

    Abhee.

  • What is the difference between scheduling agreement and delivery schedule

    Hi
    1. Can anyone explain me the difference between scheduling agreement output
        and scheduling agreement delivey schedule
        Will the both look same in T.code SP02 when seeing the output for a document.
        Can anyone send me T.codes for above ones in purchasing.
    2. when seeing the Detailed statement for rebate agreement,there is item number.
        In which table can we see the item number for rebate agreement

    Hi,
    If you have to deal with more complex situations, you can define a delivery cycle in the material master record in addition to the planning cycle. In so doing, you determine the days on whichthe vendor delivers his goods. The delivery cycle is entered in the material master record as a planning calendar in the Planning calendar field.
    You enter a delivery cycle if the delivery date (or the goods receipt date) depends on the day on which you order the goods. For example, you carry out the planning run and place your orders on Mondays and Tuesdays. If you place the order on Monday, the delivery is made on Wednesday, if you wait until Tuesday to place the order, the delivery is not made until Friday
    Where as Planning calander is Three character number (numeric or using letters) that specifically identifies a PPS-planning calendar. The difference between Planning calender and delivery cycle is If you have selected the MRP type "MRP" and have set a period lot-sizing procedure according to planning calendar, you enter here which planning calendar is to be used.
    If you selected the "time-phased planning" MRP type, the planning calendar that you specify here defines the delivery cycle. This specifies the days on which the vendor delivers the material. You can enter the planning cycle in addition to the delivery cycle

  • Scheduling agreement on different prices

    Hello gurus,
    Please advise how we can set up the system. At the moment our logistics has an issue that one of the suppliers is not covered with enough quantity of returnable packages. So, one part of the delivery is packed into returnable packaging, and another to one-way carton boxes. The prices in the invoices is different for this.
    At the moment we have one scheduling agreement with type LPA, and our purchasing is changing the prices every time we have the different deliveries.

    SAP explains it this way:
    A schedule agreement is A form of outline purchase agreement
    a outline agreement is  a longer-term agreement between a purchasing organization and a vendor regarding the supply of materials ... within a certain period according to predefined terms and conditions.
    Your business case does actually not fit to this definition. You do not have any planning reliability, you do not have predefined conditions.
    You do not have any benefit of using schedule agreements instead of standard purchase orders.
    If I understand it right what you wrote, then you even pay more because your vendor does not have enough returnable packaging on hand, or is it you who is not able to provide this returnable packaging to your vendor?
    I dont think that you find anything ready-made that could solve your issue. I understand you only get to know about this when you receive the invoice (The prices in the invoices is different for this.)
    Even it is known earlier there must be communication between your vendor and your buyer, especially if the portion of this different packaging is not fixed and varies from delivery to delivery.
    This all speaks for manual activities and I do not see any criterion that could make this automatic work

    Hi
    Price determination category 5 cannot be change in scheduling agreement if your document type is time dependent. (See config spro>mm>purchasing>scheduling agreement>define document type. In that you will see a tick for time dependent condition)
    If the config tick is removed then you can change price determination to any other option.
