Default Price Control in material type

While creating a material in particular material type is there any way that price control type i.e V or S can be configured for a particular material type.
Edited by: amitekum on Nov 3, 2010 1:00 PM

Hi,
You can maintain default price control indicator at the time of creating material master record.
If you user needs to change this indicator, they can change.
If Client is saying, don't want to allow these indicator change - You can control by maintaining material type settings.
Transcation : OMS2
Select your material type abd click on the details icon
In the Valuation block, maintain Price control field default as per ur requirement.
Price control = S or V
If you activated Priice ctrl mandatory check box, which is in the same block then Price control indiactor filed becomes displaymode in the material master record. No one can change default price control indicator.,

Hi,
1st decide price control for your material type & enter in OMS2 with your material type in Price control field in Valuation segment.
Get field name of price control: MBEW-VPRSV
Get Selection Group for price control in T.code: OMSR: 32
Check Field reference for your material type in T.code: OMS2
Select round box of u201CDisplayu201D for Selection Group 32 by double clicking Field reference & save.
Now create material (MM01) with your material type and you can find Price control defaulted which you enter in OMS2 and it can not changed.

Shall v maintain price control for material type with plant specific ?

Hai Guru,
In OMS2, we change HALB price control [valuation] as V or S. whether shall v maintain this for plant specific.?
Kindly guide
With Regards
Swetha

Hi
if you do not make the indicator Price control manadatory active then you can have different price indicator for each plant. However thsi indicator is never done plant specific. If you wish to have plant specific then you may have to have a new material type and again you need to control the MM01 creation for that particular plant by means of Authorisation control which is littel involved also but can be done.

Price control for material

Hi,
i want to configure such that while making the material master it allows me the option either taken as V or S.
Now i face the prob.that it not allow me to change price control coming bydefault from OMS2 setting.
Pl suggest me for that.

Hi,
In OMS2 setting if you set price control mandatory checked then you cannot change price control in material master.
Hope this clarifies your query

Inspection types to be defaulted based on the Material Types

Hi Guys,
Do we have any specific setting to maintain the Inspection Type to be defaulted based on the Material Type.
For Example:We have inspection Type 01& 07.....This Inspection Type has to be defaulted to the One material Type when ever we are creating the material.
Pl suggest me.

Kumar

Dear in Standard SAP it is not possible.
check this relevant thread : DEFAULT VALUE OF INSPECTION TYPE IN MATERIAL MASTER.

Change of price control in material master

Hi, SAP experts,
We have business scenario where the procurement type in MRP-2 view of material master gets changed from F to E that is an externally procured item will be manufactured inhouse.
In such case in costing view the price control needs to be changed from V to S. If both MAP & std. price are not identical, system is not allowing to change. Secondly since the item will be manufactured inhouse from now onwards, I have to run the cost estimate & update the master.
How do I deal with the situation.
Valuable advice is awaited.
Regds
T.S.Shankar

Hi Shankar,
When the price control indicator is "V", system will allow changing the Standard price manually through Transaction code MM02.
Similarly when the price control indicator is "M", system will allow changing the Moving average price manually through Transaction code MM02.
Hope this clarifies

Price control in material master.

Dear all,
How can i change the Price control key(V to S) in material master.
and what are the implication after change the price control.
Please suggest.

Vishal Garg

Hello
In the SAP System, there are two types of price control:
Standard price & Moving average price.
These two types of price control differ in how they handle price variances resulting from goods receipts or invoice receipts.
Changing the Type of Price Control
Under certain conditions, you can change the type of price control:
From standard price to moving average price
You can make this change at any time. The moving average price (which until now has been updated for informational purposes only) replaces the standard price and is used for valuation from now on.
From moving average price to standard price
You cannot make this change in the following two cases:
If the material master record is set up as a valuation header record for a material subject to split valuation
If the standard price comes from costing and is not equal to the moving average price
If the change is possible, the moving average price becomes the standard price, which is then used for valuation.
You change the type of price control by overwriting the price control indicator in the material master record with the new indicator.
Changing the type of price control for a material does not change the value of the material stock, since in both cases the current price becomes the new price.
An example is given below:
Standard price to Moving average price
Material A
Price control: S
Moving average Price: 8
Standard Price: 10
Total Stock: 100
Total Stock value: 1000
Now we change the material price control to 'V'. Then
Material A
Price control: M
Moving average price:10
Standard price: 10
Total Stock: 100
Total Stock value: 1000
Moving average to standard price
Material B
Price control: V
Moving average Price: 8
Standard Price: 0
Total Stock: 100
Total Stock value: 800
Now we change the material price control to 'S'. Then
Material B
Price control: S
Moving average price:8
Standard price: 8
Total Stock: 100
Total Stock value: 800
Hope this will clear your doubts.

Message control by Material type

Dear SAP gurus,
I would like to control the material MRP check message when relase the PM order by material type.
I want to give up the material check message to a specific material type used on my PM orders.
Many thanks,
Duarte

Sorry,
The issue is not the MRP checking control for non-stock materials, is the price checking for my non-stock materials that are also non-valuated materials.
Therefore, those materials doesn´t have a price associated, even that the "Accounting 1" and "Accounting 2" tabs are extended on material master.
Why the system doesn´t allows me to put on PM order non-valuated materials with a price of "0" on material master?
Those materials are non-valuated.
Many thanks,
Duarte

Moving average price as price control in material master: Erroneous entries

Dear All,
Recently we did a price control change from standard price to moving average price for one of our clients and scenario testing was done. We came across the following issue at the IR point and this error occur time to time ( not for all POs )Following steps were followed
Scenario
1. Create a PO for 1000 Kg of material A @ 1USD
2.GR the purchase order- at this point correct values are passed to stock account
3.consumed 250 Kg from the above material and from the same batch- correct values are passed to the accounts correctly
4.invoice verification is done for the above PO with a price variance of 100 USD. The error occur at this time ( some times )
Correct entry:
Dr GR/IR account 1000
Dr Stock account 75 (Price variance is charged proportionately charge to the balance stock)
Dr price variance 25 (Price variance is charged proportionately on the consumed stock)
Cr Vendor 1100
But sometimes the value does not pass accurately for the same PO. Accounting entries are as follows.
( this is same scenario with new purchase order with different master records )
Dr GR/IR account 1000
Dr Stock account 100 (Total price variance is charged to the stock account and its incorrect this should be only 75 as explain above )
Cr Vendor 1100
This error occurs sometimes even though the vendor master record and purchase orders are sand same as the time of pass correct entries . All these time GR based invoice verification tick has activated in PO as well as vendor master .
Appreciate your advice.
Tks

Thank you for the information. But this is not the system behavior , system proportionately add the price variance to the stock qty which is remaining in the stock also it proportionately charge the price variance to the price variance account which is consumed before the invoice verification.But time to time it passes the incorrect entries.
eg , Create a PO for 100KG @ 1USD
       GR                     100KG
       Consumed           25
      IR , here we IR at higher value than the PO price
     PO value is USD 100
    IR    value    USD 100 + 12 = 112
Correct IR entry : Vendor              CR    112
                             GR/IR                 Dr    100
                             Stock                 DR      8 ( 75% of the stk is reaming in stk so relevant variance is USD 8 )
                             Price variance   DR      4 ( 25% of the consumed , so relevant variance is USD 4 )
And this is accurate with accounting principles and standards .
Actually system correctly calculate the above entries . but some times it pass the incorrect entry , this is my issue.
In the erroneous entry it does not segregate the price variance , If we consider the same scenario as above at the time of erroneous entry the system pass entries as below:
                            Vendor              CR    112
                             GR/IR                 Dr    100
                             Stock                 DR     12 ( add 100% which is incorrect )
This is incorrect .

Price analysis by material type

Hi Gurus,
is there a tcode that would include a price analysis for materials over time. It should be able to be sorted by supplier, material type & material group. The main objective is to follow the price trend over time
Thanks
Anusha

hi,
For Stock as per material type :
Check MC.T, MC.U and MC.W....Material pricing groups...
Then also check MC$< : For Purchasing values
and MC$> : For purchasing quantities...
Above two are based on the material group...

*How to change the Valuation Category & Price control in material master*

Hello SAP Gurus,
I have a requirement to change the valuation category from 'X' to ' ' in accounting view of material master.
-> I have cancelled all the open PO's & SO's for the material
-> I have ensured that there is no stock for the material in that valuation area.
But still I get an error message that batch already exists for the material. When I check entries in MCHB I find that there are previous entires in MCHB with zero stock.
I have gone through the SAP note 155874 which recomends the archiving the effected objects.
Please let me know is there any work around to change the valuation category from 'X' to ' ' & price control 'V' to 'S'. I also need to change from ' ' to 'X' for a few materials.
Thanks for your advise.
Best Regards,
Narayan.

Note 155874 cleary describes what has to be done to be able to change.
There is no workaround, and if you change anything in the tables directly, then this will cause inconsitencies, as described in this note as well.

Price control for material as per delivery

They are purchasing material which are used in the production process these have a fluctuating price and the price paid is the price at the point of delivery not the point of ordering. The prices are fixed for three months at a time but the delivery lead time is six weeks to two months, this means that at the time of ordering they do not know what the price will be.
This results in a significant volume of manual work to change all the POu2019s as they cannot think how to put the prices into the system. We would like to remove the requirement for the local to have to update the prices constantly and have the prices placed in the system centrally and then called off from locally.
What is the best possible solution for above business process .

See the SAP help:
Date of Price Determination
In the automatic price determination process, the price can be calculated as at the document date of the PO, or as at another date (such as the current dayu2019s date, the delivery date, or the goods receipt date). You can specify the date to which the price that is determined relates at the following points:
In the vendor master record, in the Pricing date control field, if you wish to use the same price determination date for all a vendoru2019s materials.
In the purchasing info record, in the Pricing date category field, if you wish to use a different pricing date for a certain material supplied by a particular vendor.
The value in the purchasing info record takes precedence over the value in the vendor master record.
In the purchase order, in the Pricing date category field (found via Item ® More functions ® Additional data).
The value from the info or vendor master record is preset when a purchase order is created. However, this is only used if you change it in the purchase order and carry out a new price determination process.
The pricing date category in the PO takes precedence.
Example:
In the info record, you have specified that the price determination process is to be carried out with the conditions that are valid on the delivery date (pricing date category 2). Furthermore, you have created two validity periods (from 04. 01.1997 until 04. 31.1997 and from 05. 01.1997 until 12. 31.1997), each with different conditions.
You create a purchase order with the delivery date 05.05.1997. The pricing date category from the info record is adopted. In the course of the price determination process, the info record conditions from the validity period 05. 01.1997 until 12. 31.1997 are then adopted.
If you wish to adopt the info record conditions from the first validity period in the purchase order, you must change the pricing date category in the PO to blank and carry out a new price determination process.

Attribute of Material Type

Dear Sapusers
What are the Attributes of material type can you focus on this please
Rgds
Ana.

Hi,
Define attributes of material types
Each time you create a material master record, you must assign it to a material type . You use the material type to define the attributes of a material master record. Material types are used in the following neighboring areas, where they are also configured in Customizing:
Profit Center Accounting
Product Cost Planning
Sales and Distribution (availability check)
Valuation
Bills of material
Routings
Consult with these areas if necessary.
In this IMG activity, you define the attributes of each material type.
Under Views, you specify the following:
          o Material type text
          o Material type key
          o If required, an authorization group to protect access
          o Procurement type allowed (internal and/or external)
          o Check of number ranges if material numbers are assigned externally
          o If required, a default value for the item category group in sales data (consult with Sales and Distribution)
          o Whether materials of this material type are costed with a quantity structure or not
          o Views and relevant fields that may be processed; that is, the user departments that may maintain a material master record of a particular material type
Under Quantity/value, you specify the following:
          o Any special processing allowed
          o Management on a quantity or value basis and, if so, in what valuation areas
          o Price control (standard price or moving average price/periodic unit price)
Under Account assignment, you specify the following:
          o Information on how the material is assigned to the stock and consumption accounts in Financial Accounting
Once you have maintained the material types, you must also define the number intervals before you can create a material master record.
Actions
      1. Group the materials that you want to manage together in the SAP R/3 System according to the above criteria.
      2. Define the attributes of each material type.
      3. Adapt the preset material types to suit your company's needs, defining new types if necessary.
          o Give each material type a key.
          o Enter a text for each material type.
          o Define the attributes of all new material types.
Note 1
If you allow different quantity/value updating, you must activate the material type for each valuation area for this updating. You do this under Diff. val. areas.
Note 2
In Customizing for Valuation and Account Assignment, you can also maintain the price control by choosing Define price control for material types.

Hi,
New Material type is required to meet various business functionalities of client. Depending on user department views required by client, field selection key required, wheather quanity and value updation is required or not and if so under which valuation area its required, wheather the business wants to have default value of price control in material master, number range intervals to be used and wheather its internal/external, account determination process etc are some controlling functions which may force a business to create customised or new material type.
Similarly new movement types can be created when the controlling features of the existing movement type do not match the requirement like wheather any movement type is required to move goods from GR valuated stock ( as an illustration), wheather auto PO/Auto storage location needs to be decided automatically, new account grouping and field selection procedure to be used etc are some controlling functions. As an illustration in earlier version of ECC 6.0 there was no movt type like 107,109 etc but since most of the business wanted to valuate stock when goods movement will occur from GR valuated stock , the above movt types was introduced in ECC 6.0. Thus business justification and understanding should be concrete to create new movt type.

Price control indicator and valuation class

All SAP Gurus,
Is there any relationship between price control indicator (V and S) and valuation class?
We want to change the price control for certain materials from V to S and for certain materials from S to V.
Regards,

HI ,
There is no direct releation between valution class and the Price control.
Yes but a indirect relation.
it is by the maeterial Type .
in OMS2--we define the default Price control indicator.
in OMSK -we define the Material type and the Valution class linkage.
Know the Price control Indicator always triggers your value .and the way it has to be posted.(on a default value or a Purchase value on a weighted average basis)
and valuation class triggers ..where it has to be Posted.( GL account)
so it is how.
But there could some other implication of the chase of the Price control..becoz.your Previous period price and current period would implact.
you stock valution would impact.
so check all these before you Proceed
hope so it helps
Regards
Anjanna.
