Consignment sttelement price to be as goods entry price

Question

Hi,
Can you please provide us the valuable inputs how we can achieve the below thing.
In Info record we had two prices as per the date
1) 24.02.2010 to 24.03.2010
2) 25.03.2010 to 31.05.2010.
We had created the consignment PO with Price Date Category as No Control/ also tried with GR Date.
Now we did the Consigmnet goods receipt on 24.02.2010. So the stock are in consignment stock.
Then after a month we transferred to stock from consignment to own that is date as 25.03.2010.
Now when we do Consignment settlement through MRKO transaction the Price is being picked as for 25.03.2010, when we have Price date Category as No Control or GR Date.
But we need that the Consignment Settlement price to be picked for the date when the good where entered in the system that is on 24.02.2010 and not the price date when the goods where transferred from the COnsignment to own stock.
Can you please let me know if there any standard way from which we can achieve this. Second if not through standard means how we can achieve this from USer exit or by other means. Also de we need to take care the accounting posting done during consignment to own stock if we need to adopt this process.
Why we need this:
Because we can differentiate that all old stock's are related to the old price and negotiate with vendor.
As such GOODS entry in our point of view (and thinking) the booking into the consignment stock and not the transfer from consignment to something else (production or take over in own stock...).
Thanks

Hi Shashi,
                 as per your problem, this is the standard behaviour of the system.
generally when we talk abt the consignment we dont transfer the stock to our own stock, we directly issue to the cost center via mvt type 411K, the goods are already in companies own premise so there is no point transfering to our own stock.
as far as consignment is concern the vendor liability is creatd when the goods is issued, untill then there is no vendor Liability.
so the system wll take the date when we issue the goods. so what is happpening is correct.
but u always have this option to transfer the vendors stock to your own stock. but if you are concerns abt the prices that when you recieve the consignment stock the prices for that date should be picked, then as soon as you recieve the material from vendor(as consignment stock), transfer it in your own and hence creating the vendor liability for the same date.
or if you maintained the different prices for different durations then wait for the cheapest price duration and do the complete goods transfer in that period, and for the mean time keep on issuing the mtrl directly to the cost center. 
i dont have much knowledge about the user exits or any other way but there is nothing under-standard in this way also.
Hope it helps,
Regards,
