Price Determination (Pricing) Date Control in Info Record

Hi,
Can anyone help me with the use of
Price Determination (Pricing) Date Control = 5 GR Date in Purchasing Info Record
Does this help in the following case
I have a PO for an year
Each month vendor delivers @ different amount and it is known only @ the time of delivery(with the bill)
We are ready to accept the price from vendor
So if i set Price Determination (Pricing) Date Control = 5 GR Date in Purchasing Info Record
and change the price in Info Record every time before GRN for that particular date,
will it pick the new price or the PO price
We are doing GRN wrt PO.
Thanks and Regards

Hi,
Please Help
From what Esther posted i think my requirement can be met, but its not working
My requirement is
PO : 1000 qty, @ 10 inr per pc, for a year
first delivery they send 250 @ 10 inr per pc , GRN done wrt PO
invoice is posted
@nd delivery say after 4 months
they send another 250 this time @ 12 inr per pc
we are accepting the price too , we do GRN wrt PO but 10 inr is adopted
but we need to do it at 12 inr per pc
I am asking whethr this can be done by maintaining '5' in price determination date contol in info record and editing the price(earlier it was 10 , now am editing it to 12) each time before GRN, will this price be adopted during GRN.
(is there any other alternative)
note: am editing after PO and each time before GRN

Purchase Info Record - Price Determination (Pricing) Date Control

Dear Guru,
Can i get some advice here for the "Price Determination (Pricing) Date Control" (Pr. Date. Cat ) setting which is maintain in the Purchase Info Record --> Purchasing Organization Data 1.
Can anyone advice me on the purpose and where is the configuration?
Thank You very much,
Regards,
Chee Wee

Hi
If you maintain Pricing date category in info record then different pricing date can be considered for a certain material supplied by a particular vendor.
If you maintain in the Vendor master then the same price determination date will be considered for all the vendors materials.
For example,
If you want to maintain two pricing for the materials with different periods then you can use the validity periods according to the requirement.
Validity periods,
1. 01.11.2010 to 31.12.2010
2. 01.01.2011 to 31.01.2011

Price Determination (Pricing) Date Control - Purchase Order

Hi,
We are exploring the Price Determination (Pricing) Date Control in the Purchase Order.
Clientu2019s requiring is, correct me if it is a wrong requirement:
We have created Tax Codes:
C2 - CST 2% valid from 01.04.2010
C3 - CST 3% valid from 01.04.2010
We have created a purchase order with Tax Code C2 - CST 2% on 30.03.2010 as we are in doing back log entries. Since the tax code is valid from 01.04.2010 only , the purchase order is not displaying the Tax Code Value .
Now we are doing the Goods Receipt on 01.04.2010, the system will not pass the entry for the CST as at time of GR, the System picks up the Tax data from the Purchase Order.
Now we want that the System should pick up the Data at the Goods Receipt, not from the Purchase Order. Some one advised me to use put GR Date in Pr. Date Cat. Under Item-> Condition Control tab. We are able to view the Pr. Date Cat by changing the Screen Layout of ME21N.
We want to know what use of the same & under what condition is, we use this.
Our suggestion:
1. We are of the view that we should create the Tax Codes with Valid Date from 01.01.2010 (not from 01.04.2010 as currently maintained)
2. Or since we are doing the back log entry, we should create all the Open Purchase Orders dated 01.04.2010.
Is this the correct way which we are suggesting?
Please note that we are dealing with Excise Materials also?
Please guide.

Thanks for the reply,
While testing the same, I also encountered the somewhat same problem.
You are suggesting that we should change the Tax Code Valid From Date.
What do mean by the follwoing:
Pricing date category "GR date" can't be set in PO if price is entered manually (with condition type PBXX). This also means manually entered conditions at Po will not be used.

***Price Determination (Pricing) Date Control

Hi Experts,
The client requirement is that it has a contract maintained for different months with different prices. PO is created for a certain date and price. But they want to do the GR with a later date may be after 5 months for the service they have received. They want to post the GR in the open period but the price should be picked up depending on the contract price maintained for that date in past.
In contract and in Vendor we have a field called Price Determination (Pricing) Date Control which determines which date is to be used for price determination (pricing) purposes.
My issue is if i use manual which is # 5 in contract and in Vendor still when i do the GR i am getting the price with the present posting date or the present date which has been maintained in the contract. Where should i maintain the manual date on GR so that my contract price gets picked up.
Thanks for your support.
Mavrik

Dear Mavrik,
The price always follow the date maintained in the price date field in the condition control tab at ME21N during
creation of the PO. If you want during GR, the price follow a specific date, please kindly check and change
again the date in the particular PO at the same tab and at the condition tab, click the update button after
change the date.

Who knows the usage of 'Price Determination(Pricing) Date Control'?

What is the control usage of the field 'Pr.Date Cat.' in the view of 'Purch.Organization Data 1' in purchasing info record?
How does this field control the following business process?

Hi Yulin
it is very important field for detrmining price at a particulat time.
suppose you have material X, and vendor V.
now for this combination you have differnt price for different months, example you have Rs10 for month Jan, Rs. 12 Feb and rs 15 for March. now suppose you are creating PO in month of january , GR you are doing in Feb and Invoice in March..then how should system determine the price at the time of invoice as you have 3 prices for the same combination....so you have to define on the basis of which date (deliver date, PO date etc) system should select the price.
I hope it is clear to you..if still need more info then please revert back.

Price Determination (Pricing) Date Control in PO

Hi,
We have feature in PO for price date control. Following are available in drop down:
1. Purchase order date
2. Delivery Date
3. Current date
4. Manual date
5. GR date
no control.
I did F1 to find details how to use this functionality but there is not much explaination to it except with GR control.
Also below to it there is a field Price Date.
1.Please explain in which scenarios these all are used and what is the accounting impact of it.
2. Is there any study material to take deep understanding of this concept.
Regards

hi,
The pricing date is the date defined by date-dependent pricing elements such as conditions and the foreign currency rate.
As we know that the prices of foreign currency changes day by day..so if you post your PO today and make IR some other day then there may changes in prices from date to date...
so this field is used to ref. to date for the price applied...
can see the link for more details:

HELP!! - Pricing Date Control error

Hello experts,
I have a problem with pricing date control.
I would like to set Pricnig date control=5(GR Date)in Vendor master.
However, if I do so, I get an error in MIGO-GO said"Transaction cannot be posted due to errors in price determination:MSG no. ME573"
I don't have a problem if I set Pricing Date Control anything other than "5".
Where should I customize(IMG) to fix this problem?
This is very important, so I would like to rewards points to those who give me valuable answers.
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
Please check info record Pricing date control and Purchase order Price date control in Item details>more functions
Following will help you tounderstand more on this
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 days 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 vendors 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.
Hope this will help to resolve your issue

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.

Pricing schema for purchase info records

hi guys!
does anyone knows either SAP standard got function to define pricing schema for PIR? if yes, can you please tell me how to set it up step by step?
Thanks a lot,
crystal.

Hi,
there is no separate pricing schema for reading info records.
When creating PO, the system first searches for a purchasing
info record with the combination of vendor/material at purchasing
organization/plant level. If there is no such info record, the system
then search at purchasing organization level. If there is no such
info record here either, you must enter it manually.
If the purchasing info record exist, then valid conditions have
priority during price determination. If an info record does not
contain any conditions or invalid conditions, the system read from
last purchasing document in the info record and then suggest the price
from here. The price determined in this way are default values that
can be changed by the buyer if necessary.
You can save useful quotation data for a material in purchasing
info record. The info record can be created automatically by
setting the info update indicator during quotation maintenance
in the item detail.
Please first check is there any valid info record exist for this
material/vendor. You can always create/change/view it manually
via Ta ME11/ME12/Me13.
Please read also the notes 392988, 456691.

No Control / Manual in Pricing Date Control/Category?

Hi Experts,
There're 5 options in the pricing date control in the PIR (Purchase info record),
How does the "No Control"(Blank) and the "Manual"(4) work?
The system's default option is the Blank.
Thanks,
John.Z

In case of blank - pricing will be always as that of posting date in the GR transaction.

Thanks for the reply.
As I tested, "No control"(Blank) the pricing date is the PO document date.
And as the option "Manual", I find nowhere to maintain or change the pricing date.

Payment terms in Vendor Master data and purchasing info record

Hi, all, I met one trouble. While I create Purchase Order. In the header item, payment terms is automatically pop up from the data maintaining the vendor master data or purchasing info record if there is difference payment terms between in vendor master data and in purchasing info record. What happend?
Sometimes, When you create purchase order, payment terms is not automatically pop up even you maintained in the vendor master data or purchasing info record. Why? Is it meaning that I can manually to input payment terms while create each purchase order which can be difference data with vendor master data or purchase info record?
Thank you very much in advance,

Hi,
The payment terms is usually defaulted from either vendor master or purchasing master data record such as contract/outline agreement. Unless it is set through configuration that the payment terms be set as mandatory, any failure to maintain payment terms won't stop you from posting your PO as this information will only be useful during invoice receipt maintenance. Having said that if you are setting up your system with discount condition type as part of your PO pricing schema then it is necessary that the payment terms shall be maintained during PO creation.

Price difference between PO and the Info Record

Dear Experts,
I am seeing a strange problem in the MM pricing, the issue is when i am trying to create a new PO for a specific material the condition record is being updated with the wrong price, when i checked the Info Record it has two prices old and new(currently valid), but when creating the PO the material is always picking the old price always, can you pl. give me a thought where the problem could be appearing ?
I tried to check all the dates, and everything is fine.
Thanks for your valuable inputs.
Regards,
RK

Hi Ravi
As you said if inforecord has 2 price 2 validity date created at the same time , in that case at table level first price and date is saved ..when old dates gets over ..in table, updation of new price is not done ..there is one program RM06INP0 which you can run and update the table with correct info record price ,so after that you can create PO and it should pick the correct price from Info records.
Check
Awaiting your reply.

Read Sales Order Price with Pricing Date (PRSDT)

Hello ABAP Gurus,
I have once requirements and is, I need to extract sales order prices with a given Pricing Date (PRSDT).
Could you please tell me if these is Function Module or BAPI that I can use?
Regards,
Murali

Maintain a condition record for Rs.10/- with a validity date (only as an example) as 1st March'14 to 15th March'14. Another condition record for Rs.15/- with validity date as 16th March'14 to 31st March'14.
Now create a sale order for 500 nos. with one line item and change the pricing date as 15th March'14. Similarly, create another line item for the same material with 500 nos. and here, change the pricing date as 16th March'14 at line item level. By doing so, system would fetch the pricing in billing accordingly.
I told as per my knowledge System will bring old price only for reserved stock if you want to apply new price for reserved stock just 411 e return the stock from reservation and now create sales order
i hope this right
Your understanding is incorrect. System will never validate pricing based on age of the stocked material but based on validity period what you maintain in condition record.

Decimal Places for Pricing conditions in Purchase info record

Hi guys:
In the material master, Moving average price/std price 2 decimal places, purchase info records -pricing conditions we have option of 2 decimal places.
Is there any we can increase the number of decimal places .?
Thanks
sweth

Hi,
you can either have high prices or high accuracy, but not both together (because field length stays fixed).
Don't think about a modification - to much changes would be necessary. I never have seen a situation, where you needed more than about 6 significant digits (= not '0'): high prices don't have decimals.
So you usually change a factor: Maintain prices for higher or smaller units to get into the correct range. Or you might use different currencies in different situations. You can also maintain prices per 100 or 1000 units (in case of cheap products).
If nothing else is possible, you might use two conditions: one without decimals, second one only decimals, the sum of both can be a very precise high price.
Better to use the option price unit if you want exact value in place.
