MM - Difference between Info Record and Price/Discounts/Others Conditions

Hi All,
In MM we use transactions like ME11 to maintain info record. In such transactions we can handle condition types PB00, RA00, FRB1, etc to specify price, discount and freight cost.
But we also can use transactions like MEK1 to create conditions, or use transactions like MEKE to create discount conditions by vendor.
What's the difference between ME11 and MEKE?
Thanks + Best Regards
Jerome

Hi Jerome,
ME11 is for vendor/material/purch org combination
whereas MEKE is for vendor/purch organisation only. So it will be applicable for all materials supplied by the vendor.

Differences between info records and conditions

In pricing of purchasing, I have found using both info records and conditions. Also in the menu path <b><i>Logistics->Material Management->Purchasing->Master data</i></b> have both 'Info record' and 'condition' menu folder.
I want to know the differences between info record and condition and where to use them respectively. Anyone can help me?
Thanks a lot!

Hi ,
Condition enables you to store pricing stipulations agreed with the vendor (such as applicable discounts or surcharges, or stipulations regarding the payment of freight costs) in the system. You can enter these conditions in quotations, outline purchase agreements, and info records. You also have the option of entering general conditions at vendor level, for example. The system then applies the conditions in determining the price in purchase orders (POs). You can enter further conditions in the PO itself.
Simply put - Info-record is a type of condition record.
Purpose of Condition Records for S&D
Condition records allow you to store and retrieve pricing data in the system. All the pricing elements of your daily business - the prices, discounts, and surcharges for freight and taxes - that you want to use for automatic pricing must be stored in the system as condition records. You can define as many condition records as you want for the different pricing elements for any validity period.
You create condition records for all the pricing elements that the system takes into account during automatic pricing. During document processing, the system transfers data from the condition records and determines the amounts for individual pricing elements (prices, discounts and surcharges) and the final amount for the sales document.

Hi,
No different, these are just transparent tables like any other. You can select data from them the same as any other transparent table.

What's the difference between Transferred Records and Added Records?

When right click an ODS or a cube to select Manage, then under the 3rd tab called Requests, there are two columns called Transferred Records and Added Records, what's the difference between these two?
Thanks

Hello KeLviN,
How r u ?
Consider a realtime example.
Assume a transfer of Transactional Data from R/3(with PSA) which is having Unit values in it.
Now, I found in RSA3 2844168 of records. In BW I saw one Data Packet with 306 error records(because of a UNIT value is not available in BW T006 table, Eg. YDD) which are automatically collected in PSA. Now in the Monitor screen you could see 2 Monitor status with GREEN Signals for 2 set of data.
1. with 2843862 records
2. with 306 records
Now, if u manage the Data Target you will get 2844168 in the Transferred Records & 2843862 in the Added Records. and the 306 error records are in the PSA.
Hope this is clear.
Best Regards....

Why can I have a difference between Transferred Records and Added Records

Hello gurus,
What could be the reason for the difference between the Transferred records and the added records in the request for an InfoObjects?
I have in RSA3 6452 Records and in the Manage-InfoObject 1002 Records.
thanks for your help

- already existing master data (changed but not new)
- start routine with deletion
- duplicate records (with error handling activated)
- end routine

Difference between Transferred Records and Added records

Hi,
I am loading data into infocube ZPT_C01, a copy of 0PT_C01. In the "Manage function", under "Requests", I see two columns. One that says Transferred Records: 271370 and the other Added records: 30320.
I understand that 271370 is the number of records in the PSA. Is 30320 the number of records added to the Infocube?
Why aren't those two numbers identical? Are records lost? Can someone explain to me why the two record numers aren't the same?
Thanks in advance
Michalis

Hi,
the collapsing of a request is usually done when its data has been judged "correct" since a collapsed request cannot be deleted from an InfoCube.
Now in your case, it seems that you are always having one request in your ICube and you systematically delete the datatarget content prior loading it; you could collapse your request or not. If you collapse it you might get less records in your E fact table with the corresponding increase of query runtime; however if the ratio #records collapsed (in E table) / #records collapsed (in F table) is close to 100%, you most probably don't need to collapse this request.
In your scenario you have to be careful with the dimension tables; indeed when you delete the cube content via a chain, the dimension tables won't be deleted (that's good since when the next request will come the system won't have to recreate all the DIMIDs already present) and after a while many of these DIMIDs will perhaps not be used (you can run the corresponding RSRV check to verify this)...
hope this helps...
Olivier.

Difference between Item Cost and Last Evaluated Price

Dear All,
What is the difference between Item Cost and Price in Last Evaluated Price List. Exactly when are they updated?
Regards
Sibasish

Hi Sibasish,
The "Last Evaluated Price" is simply a price list but can't have a direct manipulation like other price lists. Its values may not involve in any accounting transactions if it's not selected for the concerned transaction any way.
On the other hand the item cost is the cost which is maintained by SAP B1 (until and unless you select the Standard Valuation Method), and it gets involved in the accounting transactions where inventory is involved. For e.g. the "COGS" is calculated on the basis of this value.
Please close this thread if answered ... or please let us hear something more from you on this...

This is fully covered in the documentation:

There is little difference between packaged applications and database applications, other than that packaged applications are supplied by Oracle and database applications are created by you.

Difference between source list and info records

Dear All,
What is the difference between Source List and Info Records?
Thanks N Regards
Anandasiva

Hi,
The source list is the list which shows the sources from which you can procure the material. If you have ticked the source list requirement in the material master, then you can procure the material only from the vendors mentioned in the source list.
In Inf Record, you maintain the data for a material supplied by a vendor. e.g. Material price, tax code, other conditions,, buyer code, delivery & payment terms.
Hope your requirement is fulfilled.
Reward points if the answer is helpful.

How to make the price in PO to adopt from info-record and not changeable?

Hi Xperts,
Can somebody explain to me how to set the PO price to be adopted from the info-record and is NOT CHANGEABLE at the creation and change of PO screen. I know that i can configure the field selection for the PO type to be "price as display" only. Any other solution?
Thanks.

Hi!
tick the check box info-update at the item detail under master data tab in a PO.
its significance is as follows:-
Info record update
    Determines whether the prices and conditions of this purchase order item
    are suggested in future PO items.
Use
    Selecting InfoUpdate causes one of the following situations to occur:
        -   If just one info record (with or without plant) exists, it is
            updated.
        -   If no info record exists and "plant condition requirement" was
            specified in Customizing, an info record with plant is created.
            Otherwise, an info record without plant is created.
        -   If two info records exist (that is, one info record with plant
            and one without plant) the info record with plant is updated.
Dependencies
     You can specify that prices and conditions in purchasing info records
     are only allowed at plant level in the Purchasing IMG, under Conditions
     -> Define Condition Control at Plant Level.
Hope this helps you,
Regards,
Archit.

Difference between Standard cost and standard price

Hi:
I have gone through google but i could not find any answer to the question clicking my mind. When we talk about standard cost and standard price..Should they be taken synonymously? Are these two same concepts... If there is any difference between two please do let me know..Similarly is there any difference between Actual cost and actual price. Please guide
Br

For Finished Goods, Cost is nothing but your manufacturing or procurement cost.
Where as Price is nothing but your sales price of the same Finished Goods.
Simply when you buy, it is cost and when you sell it is price.
Price includes cost + Profit or loss.
But from SAP point of view Standard Price field in Material master is Standard Cost.
Standard cost will be arrived when we manufacture or procure
Sale price will be entered in Sale order as condition value.

What is difference between additive delta and new status for change record

Hi Experts
Can any one explain me about the difference between additive delta and new status for change record with example
if any one has a document please post it iam thank full to u
thanks
Ahmed
Please search the forum before posting a thread
Edited by: Pravender on Feb 12, 2012 1:54 PM

Hi
Additive delta --- We will get the changed quantity.
say suppose you have sales order and quantity like 1111 30 which is loaded to cube(BW).
now same record qty has changed from 30 to 40. As we have additive delta, we will get new record as 1111 10.
new status for change record: This is same as like After image delta type in standard SAP data sources. for every change in record you should have new record.
say if you have any number which will be generated by system for new/changed record, then you can use this.
You can use this option when delta option set to "numeric pointer"

Distinguish b/w Automatically created Info Record and created thru ME11

Hi,
How can we distinguish between Automatically created Info Record and manually created Info Record (By User through ME11 transaction).
Where we can see the difference???
Plz guide...

Hi,
In case of Automatically created Info record, Net price and Effective price fields will be blank where as in case of manual info record, you maintain the price under "conditions" manually and which gets updated in net price and effective price fields.
Also Run Reports ME1M and ME1L, Info records with "Condition No Price Found" are automaically created. And manual info records will have have "Condition XXX Amount"
