Price for Cost Estimation - Info Records

Hi All,
We need a clarification on how system picks the price for COST ESTIMATION with following setting in Valuation Variant.
1.Valuation Price from USER EXIT
2.Price from Purchasing Info Records
3.M A P
4. Planned Price 1
Sub Stratergy.
1.Effective Price from Purchase Order
2. Net Quotation Price
3. Gross Quotation Price.
If we have 3 info records with the same validity date and different price in each for three vendor, what price will system pick for calculating the stand cost estimation.
We have activated Material Ledger and we in ECC 6.0.
Do suggest.
Regards,

Hi ajai,
I agree with your point,we have 3 info record for a material and 2 are valid as such. The price maintained in two info records are as 7.5 & 1.0 respectively(valid info records).
The last price in the purchase order (of the info those records) are 0.41(dated on 09.04.2010) & 0.2(dated on 19.04.2010) respectively, but when we execute the cost estimation the system picks the price of 7.5 not the least price of 0.2(as its the latest purchased price).
Do let us know why and of what logic the system picks the highest price.
Do revert.
Regard,

Logic - Picking Up of Price for Costing purpose when 2 Pur. Info Records

Hi,
Having one Query related to Product Costing. If you can help out...
2 Purchase Info Records are there for Same Material & Plant for 2 Different Vendors & Net Price is maintained in both Info Records
1. Material M1 - Plant 1000 - Vendor A - Net Price Rs.4 (Validity of Inco Record - 28.04.2008 To 31.12.2008)
2. Material M1 - Plant 1000 - Vendor B - Net Price Rs.3 (Validity of Info Record - 01.01.08 To 31.12.2008)
Vendor A is Regular Vendor
(Ticked as Regular Vendor is his Purchase Info Record)
It is observed that Rs.3 is picked up for Costing Purposes
Requirement is that - Net Price within Pur. Info Record of Regular Vendor i.e Rs. 4 must be picked up always for Costing Puposes.
Is this possible???
What Logic system uses while picking up the Price in case where there are 2 Pur. Info Records for same Material & Plant???
Thanks & Regards...
Ameya...

Create procurement alternatives for the material for the vendor of choice using T.Code: CK91n
Now assign a mixed costing proportion using CK94. In this screen, mark that vendor with 100%. Make sure you enter the correct Qty Structure Type and periods. If an entry exists for the other vendor, delete the tick to set it to 0%
Now try costing your product.
Cheers.

Costing run with values for material from info record.

Hi All
there is requirement with my client, that when i run my costing run the values of the components in BOM should be from the latest purchase order.
For this i am maintined valuation criteria as price from info record and sub strategy as gross price from PO.
When i am create a PO the info record is created automatically in background. So when i run costing run the value is picked correctly.
Now when i create a PO with same material from diff vendor the info record is generated, but on costing run it picks the value from the info record of earlier vendor. For this i go and check the conditions tab in info record, ensure its balnk and save it. Again generate new PO and then run a costing run. This time the system reads the latest info record.
My problem is that i want to ensure that during the costing run, system should read the latest info record w/o manual intervention. System behaviour is not consistent when there is multiple vendor and same material info records. Sometimes it pick up the value and sometimes it refers the old info record.
Can any one help me out in resolving this issue. Its critical.
Regards
Rakesh

Hi!
Generally first info records will be created with vendor, then PO will be created, based on info records price, price will be updated in PO.
If you have more than one vendor for same material, you have to create info records for each vendor. then you need to maintain source list, where you can fix the vendor. If there is no fix vendor, then you can do schedule agreement with vendors, where you have to give proportionate percentages again each vendor.
Now for costing run :
1. if you have only one info record, the price will take from that info record.
2. if you have more than one info record, you need to mantain source list, where you can tick the fixed vendor, then system will take price from that vendor info record.
3. if there is no fixed vendor and you have maintained scehduel agreement with weightage to vendor, then higher percentage vendor info record price will be picked up.
4. if you have more info reocrds, not maintianed source list or schedule agreement, price will be picked up from first info record ( based on info record creation date).
5. if you have a schedule agreement, but you have given equal weightage for example 50% and 50%, then also system will pick up from first info record.
i think it is clear now.

Price changes in Consignment info records

Hi
Is there any standard transaction to change the prices in the purchasing info records site (plant) wise on daily basis? e.g. 5000 info records are there and i want to change the prices in the info records site wise.
I don't know the rate of the material. I come to know daily morning e.g gold rates changes everyday.
I can change the rates in one shot through MEKP with condition type PB00. But gold rates differs from place to place e.g. Delhi to Mumbai. So i need to change price site wise according to bombay stock exchange or national stock exchange rates. Basic idea is to change the prices site(plant) wise.
Please suggest.
Thanks & Regards
Kapil

Hi
We can change the rate through Info record Mass Maintenance

Moving average price of subcontracted material not picked for Cost estimation

Hi Experts
I have the below scenario:
Finshed Product A has components B, C.
C is a subcontacted material and it has its own BOM with components D & E.
We are maintaining moving average price for the subcontracted material C, (because the subcontracter is adding X & Y in addtion to the components D and E, which are sent from us).
In the mateial maste of C, Procurement type is F and Spl. procurement type 30 are maintained.
When i do costing for the Finished product A, moving average price of C is not picked up (where as system calculates the std cost for C by adding the values of D & E and purchase info record price).
Is there any way to Calculate Price of A by using the mvg avg price of C.
I maintained the below valuation variant settings.
If i remove the spl. procurement type 30 in the material master of C, it picks up the mvg. avg price. but it affects the MRP planning of items D & E.
Please advice.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Bala

Hi Big choi
Thanks for your response.
I understand.
1. if we maintain spl. procureent key 30, system calculates standard cost based on raw material and service charges.
2. If we don't maintain spl. proc key, it considers the material as purchased and picks the mvg avg price from material.
But, is there any way to pick the moving avg price from material master eventhough i maintained the spl. procurement type 30?
Thanks
Bala

Net price not picking from info record

I am creating a new PO, but net price is not picking from info record. Info record is getting copied in the line item for PO, but net price is not copied. Due to that I am unable to create PO. If I manually enter price PO can be created. Could someone tell me what might be the reason Price is not automatically taken from Info Record. Please guide me what all I need to check.
The same data is working in one cleint, and in another client this data is facing problem.
Thanks
Vineeth

Hi
1) If there is condition record exit in system,then while creating po system will take condition record
2) If In inforecord last po number is exist for material and vendor ,then system will take this into consideration
3) if your creating po first time for material and vendor ,and we have maintain purchasing inforecord for purchasing organization and for plant,then system will take it into consideration
40 If none is available we have to put condition manually in po

Warning message required in po to identify whether price is taking from info record or condition record

Hi experts,
while creating purchase order,If condition record and info record both are exists means how system will identify that which price need to pick for particular vendor.
Is it possible to set warning or error message for above mentioned scenario.
Thanks ,
Deepika.

If an info record has no price conditions itself then the price is determined from the last PO.
It is not always table A017, there are more tables for conditions to the info record, e.g. A018 and A025, this is dependent on the level of your info record which can be created at plant level or at purchasing organization level (no plant entered), with or without material number.
For more detailed information see the docu in help.sap.com: Price Determination - Purchasing (MM-PUR) - SAP Library
and the OSS note 456691 - FAQ: Price determination in purchasing
and 569885 - About Info Record Update indicator (EKPO-SPINF)

Purchase order price limit checking against info record

We would like to block the saving of a purchase order if the line item price differs by some X% of the purchasing information records price. Reviewing the pricing condition process seems to indicate it may be possible here. But it looks to primarily calculate the expected PO price. The real control we are after is to catch the manual PO price change, by the user, that is inconsistent with master data records. We already are using the tolerance limit warning for price variance, but that only links to the moving average price. If the stock is zero, then there is nothing to compare to. We would really like a check to compare the info record to the entered price at time of save.
Any assistance is appreciated.
Thank you
Brian

Hi brain,
You need to write a USER exit in such a way that while entering the PO net price syestem should go to chek the price in PIR price,

LIV : Invoice price validation as per Info record

Dear All,
Requirement : Invoice Verification (MIRO) should pick lowest price among Info-record or Purchase Order.
Normally client is maintaining Info-record as the lowest among both.
Pls Suggest .
Regards

There are no standard way to achieve this.
During MIRO, system will always fetch the PO price, it never see the info record price.
Its a chain, at the time of PO creation system will fetch the price from info record. At the time of GR, system will fetch the price from PO and also at the time of MIRO, system will fetch the price from PO.
Once PO is created, system will never check the info record again.
Might be any user exit or badi can help you. You can consult with your abap team.
It can compare the table - field value for info record = EINE-NETPR and for PO EKPO-NETPR.

Table for the Purchase Info Record:Text

Dear All
As the Purchase Info Record data is saved in the tables like EINA/EINE/EIPA
In which table can i find the "Info Record:Text"
Please help me guys

Hi,
It is important to realize that all Text records are not stored transparently in tables like other data. Text records are stored within clusters in SAP.
You can access these texts in SAP when you create a include text node in your SmartForm. Once created you begin by selecting the Text Type: Include Text.
The Text Key for an include text is made up of the following parts.
You can use the ABAP function module u201CREAD_TEXTu201D to access Text records by passing the correct header information. You can see the text in the TDLINE.
If you go to SE37 u2013 ABAP Function Modules and enter READ_TEXT you can press the Test/Execute button and enter real data into the import parameters and validate that your text can be accessed using this function module. You can then incorporate it into your ABAP program to access any SAP text that you need.
This is essentially what is done automatically for you in SmartForms when using the Text Type: Include Text.
Finding Header Information for Info Record Texts
You can find the header information for text records using the following steps.
1.Click on the Text tab for either header or item texts
2.Double-click on any header or item text in the Purchase Order
3.Go to any existing text
4.Use menu path Edit u2013> Text u2013> Long Text
5.Select menu option Goto u2013> Header
The header information will be displayed and will contain the following field values
Text Name: Info Record Number 53000128641 090
Language: EN
Text ID: BT (Purchase order text)
Text Object: EINE (Texts, pur. info. pur.org.data).
For more clarity please check the below link.

BAPI for writing MM Info-records to database

Hi,
I am searching for a bapi to write purchasing info-records into the database. What I already found is BAPI_INFORECORD_GETLIST, but this only reports a list of records. But I need to enter data into the tables EINA, EINA A017 etc. Can anybody help me, i do not want to write a batch-input and would prefer to use a BAPI. SAP-Version used is 4.6C - pretty antic I know but that is what we have here.
Greetings uli

SAP has given a standard way of uploading Purchase Info Records through LSMW.
You can upload data Direct Input through LSMW by using Object 0060.
You need to map your local files w.r.t structure of source files for LSMW.
