Costing based on info records

Hi experts,
We are facing problems setting up costing based on info records. In our valuation variant we use Strategy Sequence "Price from Purchasing Info Record" and Sub-Strategy Sequence "Quotation Price via Condition Table", as well as stating the relevant Condition type in Delivery Costs.
The price of the material and condition type is set in transaction MEK3.
The costing works as it should, but only if no purchasing requisitions exists on the material. But if requisitions exists on the material, the costing instead use this price. How to avoid that; i.e. how to make the costing always picking the price set in transaction MEK3?
BR,

Hi
I cant say for sure.. you can download these notes from T CODE SNOTE...
After getting downloaded, an icon shows on left side based on which you will come to know if it can be applied or not...
Else, you can raise a OSS msg to SAP saying that this note seems to be relevant to my issue, but does not match with my release of SAP... They will get back to you, if they have any

  • Costing issue-Why Info record price is not read ?

    Hi,
    We have an issue while costing a Material procured externally.
    Valuation Variant >>> Priority 1-Info record price. >>Priority 2-Material Master valuation price.
    However, system is picking the price matained in the Material master.
    I have verified the validity of the info record and the Blocks on the Vendor and seems ok.
    Are there any specific checks need to carry out to know if the info record is a valid one.
    Any idea why system is picking Price from Material Master?
    Your help is appreciated.
    Kind Regards

    HI Umapathi

  • Filter insp lot based on info record

    we have some materials / vendors which are direct online , for which we are doing only ud and not  result recording.
    we have maintained D.O.L. in block reason of Q info records for direct online vendors / materials.
    now i want filter D.O.L. materials / vendors in qa32 , so that i can do only ud.
    regards,
    rakesh patel

    You can't filter QA32 by the info records.  You could get close however by using a combination of the status and short term characteristics.
    You should create a selection profile based on the system status of the inspection lot.  Because you aren't doing results recording, the status combinations on these lots should be very different then the one with inspection characteristics.  For instance they should not have the status CCTD.  They probably won't have PSAG. 
    You can also include some other fields in a screen variant like short term characteristics should be 0. 
    I think ideally though, you assign these vendors to their own inspection plan.  Then you can set the QA32 screen to select by a specific inspection plan.  Since there would be no characteristics in the plan, all you plant/material/vendor combinations can be assigned to it.  It is an extra step that has to be done when you create the Q-info record status but it would probably be the easiest solution.

  • PO Release stragety based on Info record price

    Hi MM Gurus,
    Can someone tell mw how to achieve this? I want to do a PO release strategy in which the system checks whether the price that is manually entered in the PO is equal or less than the price mantained in the inforecord for that material. If the price is higher then the strategy is triggered and if not, then no strategy applies.
    I assume this strategy will apply by item and not at the header level, any ideas on how to achieve this.
    Any inputs will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks and Regards

    I don't think it will be possible specially bcause have you thought about the number of characteristic values can be! We can use a dummy field from the CEKKO or CEBAN and by using any user exit related to release strategy we can map the same but again what about the values!

  • Costing run with values for material from info record.

    Hi All
    there is requirement with my client, that when i run my costing run the values of the components in BOM should be from the latest purchase order.
    For this i am maintined valuation criteria as price from info record and sub strategy as gross price from PO.
    When i am create a PO the info record is created automatically in background. So when i run costing run the value is picked correctly.
    Now when i create a PO with same material from diff vendor the info record is generated, but on costing run it picks the value from the info record of earlier vendor. For this i go and check the conditions tab in info record, ensure its balnk and save it. Again generate new PO and then run a costing run. This time the system reads the latest info record.
    My problem is that i want to ensure that during the costing run, system should read the latest info record w/o manual intervention. System behaviour is not consistent when there is multiple vendor and same material info records. Sometimes it pick up the value and sometimes it refers the old info record.
    Can any one help me out in resolving this issue. Its critical.
    Regards
    Rakesh

    Hi!
    Generally first info records will be created with vendor, then PO will be created, based on info records price, price will be updated in PO.
    If you have more than one vendor for same material, you have to create info records for each vendor. then you need to maintain source list, where you can fix the vendor. If there is no fix vendor, then you can do schedule agreement with vendors, where you have to give proportionate percentages again each vendor.
    Now for costing run :
    1. if you have only one info record, the price will take from that info record.
    2. if you have more than one info record, you need to mantain source list, where you can tick the fixed vendor, then system will take price from that vendor info record.
    3. if there is no fixed vendor and you have maintained scehduel agreement with weightage to vendor, then higher percentage vendor info record price will be picked up.
    4. if you have more info reocrds, not maintianed source list or schedule agreement, price will be picked up from first info record ( based on info record creation date).
    5. if you have a schedule agreement, but you have given equal weightage for example 50% and 50%, then also system will pick up from first info record.
    i think it is clear now.

  • KKPAN - Consignment info record

    Hi,
    I have a mterial with a standard as well as a consignment info record. Both the info records have the same number but the info record price is different.
    Now in KKPAN whenever I enter the info record number, it defaults the price from the standard info record. How can the price default from the consignment info record?
    In material master, the special procurement field also indicates consignment.
    Sincerely,
    Nicky

    Hi,
    Then what do I do in a case when I want to update the material master cost from the cost in consignment info record?
    Will the only option be MR21 manual cost update?

  • Freight to get from Info record in Standard Cost Estimate

    Hello
    I want the cost estimate to pick up the freight value/% from the condition type from the purchase info record. Iu2019ve created a costing variant which has the valuation variant set to u201CPrice from purchasing info recordu201D and the strategy sequence as u201Cnet quotation priceu201D. Also I have specified a condition type for delivery in delivery costs in the valuation variant however when I create the cost estimate the price from the purchase info record is picked up but not the delivery cost from the condition type of the info record. Is there something in configuration that needs to be set for this? Any Ideas?
    Cheers

    Hi Rajesh
    The costing sheet will allow me to specify a fixed % for freight however i want to specify a different rate based on the vendor.  Is there no way of picking the details from a info record or a contract?

  • CK11n Costing Run does not pull purchasing price from info record.

    Hi,
    I have material which is a semi finished product (Material type: SEMI) and is purchased from a fixed vendor (specified in the source list).
    The costing run does not pick up the purchasing price from the purchasing info record but
    instead incorrectly picks up the standard price from the material master (Costing 2 view).
    Can you please help me solve this issue?
    Thanks,
    Ketan

    Execute OPL1
    or
    SPRo>>IMG>>Controlling>>Product Cost Controlling>>Cost Object Controlling>>Product Cost by Order>>manufacturing Order>>Check Costing Variants for Manufacturing Orders (PP)
    Select the costing variant in the table from "Change Costing Variant: Overview" Overview Screen
    Click Detail Button
    Click Valuation Variant Button in the Control Tab
    Change View Valaution Variant Detail Screen Appears
    In Material Valuation Tab Set Price from Purchase Inforecord as Priority 1 if you want to use Price from Purchase Inforecord for semi-finished product during CK11N
    You can list down Priority 2 to 5 depending on your requirement
    This would solve your problem

  • Purchase Info Records in Costing

    Hi,
    Which info record it will pick if a material has more than one info record and each has purchase order attached.
    the strategy in costing variant is to pick Purchase order price first.  Since the material has two PIR and has two PO with different prices. I assume that it will pick the lower price...!  how can we control the system to pick the info record which we need.
    Thanks
    Sivaram

    For a combination of Vendor + Material + Plant + Purchasing Group, you can only have one PIR. What rate the system picks up depends on the material and the valuation strategy.
    If you have more than one vendor supplying, you can create procurement alternatives and assign %s to the appropriate vendors.
    Cheers.

  • Logic - Picking Up of Price for Costing purpose when 2 Pur. Info Records

    Hi,
    Having one Query related to Product Costing. If you can help out...
    2 Purchase Info Records are there for Same Material & Plant for 2 Different Vendors & Net Price is maintained in both Info Records
    1. Material M1 - Plant 1000 - Vendor A - Net Price Rs.4 (Validity of Inco Record - 28.04.2008 To 31.12.2008)
    2. Material M1 - Plant 1000 - Vendor B - Net Price Rs.3 (Validity of Info Record - 01.01.08 To 31.12.2008)
    Vendor A is Regular Vendor
    (Ticked as Regular Vendor is his Purchase Info Record)
    It is observed that Rs.3 is picked up for Costing Purposes
    Requirement is that - Net Price within Pur. Info Record of Regular Vendor i.e Rs. 4 must be picked up always for Costing Puposes.
    Is this possible???
    What Logic system uses while picking up the Price in case where there are 2 Pur. Info Records for same Material & Plant???
    Thanks & Regards...
    Ameya...

    Create procurement alternatives for the material for the vendor of choice using T.Code: CK91n
    Now assign a mixed costing proportion using CK94. In this screen, mark that vendor with 100%. Make sure you enter the correct Qty Structure Type and periods. If an entry exists for the other vendor, delete the tick to set it to 0%
    Now try costing your product.
    Cheers.

  • Price for Cost Estimation - Info Records

    Hi All,
    We need a clarification on how  system picks the price for COST ESTIMATION with following setting in Valuation Variant.
    1.Valuation Price from USER EXIT
    2.Price from Purchasing Info Records
    3.M A P
    4. Planned Price 1
    Sub Stratergy.
    1.Effective Price from Purchase Order
    2. Net Quotation Price
    3. Gross Quotation Price.
    If we have 3 info records  with the same validity date  and different price in each for three vendor, what price will  system pick for calculating the stand cost estimation.
    We have activated Material Ledger and we in ECC 6.0.
    Do suggest.
    Regards,

    Hi ajai,
    I agree with your point,we have 3 info record for a material and 2 are valid as such. The price maintained in  two info records are as 7.5 & 1.0 respectively(valid info records).
    The last price in the purchase order (of the info those records) are 0.41(dated on 09.04.2010)  & 0.2(dated on 19.04.2010) respectively, but when we execute the cost estimation the system picks the price of 7.5  not the least price of 0.2(as its the latest purchased price).
    Do let us know why and of what logic the system picks the highest price.
    Do revert.
    Regard,
