Material Price Evaluation

Question

Good Evening.
In my SAP R/3, release 4.7, we have a material price evaluation with Standard Price.
The material price, is updated every year, with MR21, but we have only a valid price, in table MBEW (MBEW-STPRS).
In next months, this logic is going to be changed, with another one.
My customer will manage material price evaluation through the Purchase Order Material  Price. So, if the same material i am going to buy has different prices, after the goods entry, i need to save the several prices, and not the standard one..as now..
For ex. Material Quantity Price
               XXX ,     1           2                                 
               XXX ,     1           3                        
               XXX ,     1           4  
Therefore, i will consider more than one valid price (and not the average).
My question is: is there any way to manage different prices, in standard procedures? Or shall i use a custom solution?
I need the price information, because the following goods issue will consider both the quantity and the different price.
I thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Hi FranciscoPas,
As per my understanding, you want to valuate each of your goods movement at PO price .. .. ...
  For example :
   PO for 1 quantity  price is $ 500 .
In Inventory the accounting document will have two entries   one is material account (BSX ) and another is GR/IR clearing account ( WRX) ... ... .
As per your requirement you want that the value to be posted to material account should equate to PO ....
One more option to do this is to manage material by Moving average price so that at each posting the accounting will be posted with the price in PO ...
However making material to Moving average price might not be acceptable by your business ... not sure You have to check this ..
I can comment on other options which are suggested above :
>> Split valuation can not be applied here as you need to create accounting view for each segment you want to maintain price  and  creating accounting view for every new goods movement is off-course not feasible
>> Automatic batch creation for each goods movement by setting valuation category as X , for which prices will be maintained for each goods movement and every time new batches will be created .
Do you want to test this functionality in your system , I can help you in creating examples ?
