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.

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.

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.,

Price Control for FG & SFG

Hi All,
Is it mandatory that for Price FG & SFG, one should maintain Price Control as "S" - standard price in the Accounting view of material master?
Regards,
Manish

Hi
It is mandatory to maintain the Price control in Material master accouting view 1 and for In house produced material it should be S standard price as per the definition of standard price
A constant price at which a material is valuated without taking goods movements and invoices into account.
For incoming material or raw material it should be V Moving average
A price that changes in consequence of goods movements and the entry of invoices, and which is used to valuate a material.
The moving average price is calculated by dividing the value of the material by the quantity of material in stock. It is automatically recalculated by the system after each goods movement or invoice entry.
Hope it is clear to you

CO88-Error :Perform the planned price change for material

Hi Experts,
While running CO88 i get this error. "Perform the planned price change for material ". My material is manage at S and it doesn't have any marked cost. The status is FR and no other status on cost etimate for the article are active. what i shoul do? why if i run the PP order with KO88 i don't have any error?
Please help i'm facing the closing period.

Hi,
If dynamic price change is active in your system the first posting in the new period of this material tries to
- release a future cost estimate of that period OR
- change the price to the future price in accounting view
(if the future price date is reached)
Unfortunately this dynamic price change does not work in order settlement. Therefore you are asked to perform the price change first by t-code CKME (or CK24).
If you are using price determination control 3, any price change or release should always be the first transaction in a new period to avoid any inconsistencies.
The dynamic price release will only release the price with transactions which involve material movement and this is not the case by posting invoices and order settlements.
if you are in period 12/2009 then a settlement in 12/2009 does not require the release cost estimate of 01/2010.
But if you are already in 01/2010 therefore settlement in 12/2009 is a posting into the previous period. This will change also data of the current period. Therefore the cost estimate has to be released first.
Another option, if you don't want to receive this message, would be to change this message from Error to Warning (check note 434752).
Please follow the following steps:
T-CD:OMRM
Message M8 394
=>you set the message type to '-' for error message M8394, that means no message is to be issued.

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.
Regards,
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.

Price Control for Traded Goods

Hi
Can you please suggest what shld be the price control for the Traded Finished Goods
Which is the better option S or V
Regards
Ash

Hi,
Would always prefer price control V- Moving Average Price, because most of the time for stocks, the stocks are valuated at the real price of procurement.
Standard price can be opted for FERT material, where most of the time the prices are not fluctuating.

No retail price available for material MMMM in master conditions

Hi All ,
When running transaction VKU6 to pickup and display price changes for retail price . I am getting this message.
"No retail price available for material <MMMM> in master conditions"
I have already maintained the condition record for retail prices , am not sure what does these Master Conditions refer to.
Kindly give some advice...
thanks!!

Hi
VKU6 is for retail Re-valuation, if you want re-valuation to be done based on retail sales price than MAP then you use this transaction and see the changes here for the stores you selected then you go to VKU7 for automatic revaluation. If you are getting such error means you must be using two step price calculation and ran re-valuation for DC, try using re-valuation for store and you don't get such errors.
Pre-requisite is you should have old and new retail sales price for stores, these prices to be maintained against master condition type like VKP0 and same to be assigned in the list field.
If you are objective is to see only change in sales price then you can use t code VKP2 / VKP3
Best Regards

Reg price control for semifinished material

Dear all,
What is the price control to be given for semifinished which will be sent to subcontractor sometimes and produced in house when there are no orders.
Thanks in advance
Madhav

Dear Venumadhav,
In my understanding this comes under split valuation. If not then you can use mixed costing for the same.
Because standard price can be used for the products produced inhouse and moving average price for the externally procured items
and the sub-contracted items.

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 .

*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.
