The Price Difference Canada & US

Can someone please explain to me how we Canadians are still paying $449 CND for the 16 Gig (iTouch) and it’s only $399 in US? I know the dollar was stronger when it was first released but now the Canadian dollar is worth equal to or more then the USD. Is the apple store.ca going to chance the price?

No apple employees respond or read these forums unless they break the terms of usage. If your so concerned about the price then make a run on the south border! THen of course leave feedback at the link below where your comments will be read by apple employees.
http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipod.html
THen you could also picket and protest on the value of your canadian currency versus the market shre of the US dollar.... yes i know its one to one right now but still contact your government for concessions or drastic changes to your currency. Just cause apple is an american company doesnt mean their stores present in canada still have to pay costs relative to the canadian government etc.

Expense for the price difference by reversing entry of goods

Hi Experts,
There is an Expense for the price difference by reversing entry of goods. Conceptually is this correct?
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Price difference during reversal of GR may be correct due to the change in price between GR & reversal.
It depends on price control whether S-Std price or V-Moveing average price in the Material Master accounting view.

Why is the price difference of apple products in different countries? For example in UAE price is different as compared to Germany?

Why is the price difference of apple products in different countries? For example in UAE price is different as compared to Germany?
MacBook Pro with retina price in US is USD1299 and same product price in Germany is 1299 Euro. Why???

Obviously all the answers up here are true.. but I think that was not the real meaning behind the question.
Every country has different currencies that not only convert differently to others but have a different and relative value for the inhabitants. For example although Forex says 1,3$ = 1€ for the average European and American 1$=1€.. that means that roughly inside your country what you buy inUS for 1$ you get in Europe for 1€ (ex: McDonalds hamburger).
Also each country has it's own taxes, different renting prices (for apple store), different VAT, etc...
But the real question is. Is Apple NEUTRAL to market conditions?
This means... does Apple adapt their margin on products to local conditions or not?
To make it simple... Let's say Apple ... everything considered... gets 100$ for an iPhone sold in US... Will Apple fix their price in other countries so that, after paying local taxes, local costs, etc... still.. for each iPhone they earn 100$ ??
Or they have different market strategies such as rising the prices in countries where people are richer and more likely to buy iPhones even if "overcharged"? Or on the other side.. do they lower prices in poor countries (obviously not under production cost) to help locals buy in Iphone?
I think that Apple is doing their best to stay neutral to the market.. that is... We want 100$ at the end of the day.. whatever...
So we have paradoxes because in some countries iPhone costs more while in these countries people earn less (and I think this is not random.. but happens because.. usually.. countries with more regulations and taxes are also countries with lower wages... but that's politics!)
Here is a small comparison of iPhone 6 (16 Gb version) prices:
USA 550€........................ Average GDP per person 51.704 $ (calculated with California sales tax)
Switzerland 629 €............ Average GDP per person 44.864$
United Kingdom 687€....... Average GDP per person 36.569 $
Gerany 699€.................... Average GDP per person 38.666 $
France 709€................... Average GDP per person 35.295 $
Italy 729€........................Average GDP per person 29.812 $
As you can see Apple seems not to care about living conditions in the country or about average wages etc.. they just have their price adjusted to local regulations and taxes. Europe has 2years warranty service for items sold in Apple Stores (and 1 for items sold in other stores where Apple is responsible only for the first year). We also have some other taxes... For example, here in Italy, we have a tax on hard drives (goes by the Gbyte) that affects any multimedia product. Tax is meant to finance artists whom you are supposedly "stealing" by having unauthorised copies on your portable device... (I know.. is ridiculous). Etc...

Is MacBook Pro worth the price difference vs. MacBook?

Friends,
Is MBP a good bang for the buck, vs MacBook, for the Logic hobbiest?
I am a student, ready to buy a new computer and all new software to replace my eMac 1.25GHz (that runs Logic Pro 7 and Adobe Creative Suite 1). I plan to use Logic Pro 8 for MIDI and software instruments, with occasional recording of DJ mix sets.
After academic discount, MacBook Pro starts at $750 more than MacBook, but when upgraded to the same RAM, HDD, and processor, the MBP costs $400 more than the MB. I am aware of all technical differences between the two systems, even expecting a serious update to MBP soon.
Would you post your opinions, please?
Thank you.

Hmm I say go for the Macbook and save yourself a bunch of cash!
Like you have found out, buying a Macbook and upgrading it yourself (HDD and RAM) is far far far cheaper than either buying it from Apple or going with the Macbook Pro.
I'd suggest literally buying the base spec in terms of RAM and HDD, and replacing these yourself with a bigger HDD and more RAM. Neither will void your warranty as they are user replaceable and Apple provide instructions on how to change them on their website.
You could drop 2GB (they might even support 3 or 4 now) of RAM into a MB for less than $40 and a fast 300GB HDD isnt gonna cost you much more than $175-200. Once those are in, the difference in spec between your upgraded MB and the MBP doesnt seem so great, whereas the price is still hugely different!
The only time I would suggest going for the MBP is for graphics. Even then I think they are a little overpriced. I have the same NVidia card that was shipping in the MBP's in my iMac and I work in 3D graphics...to be honest, the difference in graphical performance between my MB (same spec as my iMac without graphics driver) and iMac is minimal.
The only other decider would be how many FireWire/USB ports you would use as the MBP has more.
I've considered upgrading to a MBP myself, but the specs just arent attractive enough at the moment and Im waiting for an update which will hopefully come soon, but this would be purely for my graphics work. For my Logic use, the MB handles everything I want to do no problem at all.
Hope this helps.

Battery quality - why the price difference?

It's time to get a new battery for my trusty Qosmio G30. The price range seems huge - on the Toshiba website it's about 94 exc VAT, but there are other sites selling 'brand new' batteries at 38 inc VAT.
My question is, are all batteries the same? Will a 38 battery last as long as a 96 one - what's the catch?

Hi
You are right. On the market there are offered notebook batteries and the price range is pretty huge. For instance, on eBay you can buy notebook battery that costs the half price than in regular shops.
I have noticed that these batteries dont have Toshiba name printed on the label but format is the same. Generally speaking they are same but if the quality is the same is other question. To be honest I have good experience with these cheap batteries and I use them on my mobile phone and cam.
The same story is with the cars. If you buy certain part by authorized partner they will be more expensive as parts offered by some independent store. I believe you know why.
In my opinion you can buy and use this cheaper battery. Maybe the life time will not be so long as with original battery but you will save some money. Maybe in one year you want to buy new Qosmio. ;)

Am i able to bring in my 5s and trade it for the 6?? If so what would the price difference be?

Would like to know if I'm able to trade my iPhone 5s for the iPhone 6?

You can take your iPhone into an Apple Store for an immediate credit toward the purchase of a new one. See the quote below from http://store.apple.com/us/browse/reuse_and_recycle
You can also bring your iPad or iPhone to an Apple Retail Store and we’ll give you immediate credit for its value toward the purchase of a new one.
As the others have said, you may do better elsewhere. You can also get an estimate from Apple's recycling program using the link above.

What is the price difference to upgrade from an iphone 5 to a 5s?

I live in Australia and was wondering how much it would cost me to upgrade from the 5 model to a 5s? Can't find any info on it on the Australian apple store site.

Apple doesn't offer an "upgrade" program. You may be able to trade your phone in for credit in some countries, and you can always sell it, either privately or to a company that specializes in buying electronics like Gazelle.

Price difference in the latest invoice document and the last change to

Hi gurus,
This is regarding the price difference of the latest invoice document price with respect to the price of last time the document was invoiced.Without using the customer exit or back-end developement. need info if this can be done on the front-end using the front-end tool bex designer using the CKF, RKF , Variables or conditions etc
say for instance the user wants to get the price differences with respect to the invoices for a certain period that is from 01/01/2008 to 06/30/2008( dynamic entry can be any range).
Once the user enters the range for the billing document date as 01/01/2008 to 06/30/2008 the query should return the report as
Sold-to(customer) Material, Bill doc date and the price difference. these are the four columns the users needs in the report.
now the bill-doc date will the latest invoice date for the sold-to & material, but the price difference will be the price of the last invoice date(for the sold-to , material) - the latest invoice date price.
Example. between 01/101/2008 - 06/30/2008
customer : 2765 , material : XAWE33636FD this particular customer-product had 3 invoices on 02/15/2008 , 04/18/2008 and 06/03/2008.
price on 02/15/2008 : $1.09
price on 04/18/2008: $1.87
price on 06/03/2008: $3.84
so the report should look like
customer material bill doc date price diff
2765 XAWE33636FD 06/03/2008 3.84- 1.87( latest invoice price - last invoice price)
Thanks
appreciate responses

Hi,
I think you will need at least some backend devlopment for this first and foremost being mapping the invoice date from souce to the Bill date.
Getting price difference is not an issue as much as tracking dates. I think you will need a counter to track the last invoice date which really needs ABAP coding
An exit would be much easier to have this functionality rather than to create RKF's and CKF's
I will update you in case any better idea strikes.
Good luck

Price difference account at the time of 122 movement

Hi,
PO qty 1000
GRN 1000
MIRO 1000
credit Memo 1000
122 material Doc 1000
( No change of price during thiese transaction through MR21 )
At the time of 122 document creation , the accounting entries are going in to price diff a/c instead of inventory a/c.
can any one confirm the resons behing a/c entries hiting price difff a/c.
Rgds,
Pradeep

Hello,
I think While crdeit memo system will hit Price differe account, Please clarify how the Subsequent debit/Credit works.
Suppose you have ordered 100 kg of a material. The vendor invoiced you $1 a kg, being an invoice of $100.
After a while he notices that he should have invoiced you too much or not enough. He tells you he made a mistake and agrees with you he can send you an additional invoice/credit memo for the invoiced quantity with the price difference. This will be posted as a subsequent debit/credit.
The subsequent debit/credit is an additional invoice/credit memo where only a price difference is posted for a certain quantity without influencing the invoiced quantity in the system.
After the posting of the subsequent debit/credit, you still have 100 kg invoiced but for a unit price of $1 +/- the additional correction.
Suppose you have ordered 100 kg of a material. The vendor invoices you 105 kg. You don't agree. He should send you a credit memo for 5 kg.
With a regular credit memo, you'll end up changing the invoiced quantity.
After posting the credit memo you'll have an invoiced quantity of 105-5=100.
In short:
- a subsequent debit/credit will be visible in the system as an invoiced price difference for an existing invoiced quantity. The invoiced quantity is not touched. The quantity you enter during posting is to indicate to what quantity the price difference relates.
- a credit memo is a correction of the invoiced quantity

While posting MIRO price difference account is not determimg for price vari

Hi Sapients,
Please solve the production issue which we have faced yesterday while doing month end closing
In one P.O 4 items are there,User has posted entries in below sequence
Material type is TRADING GOODS
1)first MIRO with QTY 10 @100$ each,Later
2)MIGO has done with QTY 10 @100$
Raw Material account -
1000$
to GR/IR CLEARING ACCOUNT -
1000$
2)User has reverse the MIRO transaction with QTY 10 @ 100$ each.(with refer to step1)
3)Finally he post MIRO with QTY 10 @ 90$ each, so here ther is no qty variance has come only price variance has come, so when posting the difference is not going to price difference and the entry is paasing like this
GR/IR CLEARING ACCOUNT -
900$
TO Vendor 900$
If u see in step 2 GR/IR having 1000$, but in step 3 while MIRO posting GR/IR as 900$ so for the remaing balance 100$ not going to price variance .I Belive the entry in step will be like this
GR/IR CLEARING ACCOUNT -
1000$
TO Vendor 900$
TO Price difference 100$.
Kindly give solution why it is not going to price difference it was happening only for item 2 & 3 only for 40 iem it is posting correctly to price difference account.Please advice me why system behavig differently for each item.
Thanks & Regards

Hi Padmasri,
Thanks for your explanation. Ok. if the price is maintained in S, does that mean the price difference would get posted only to PRD. In other words, if price indicator is V, is that the only time when the price difference gets posted to stock account. In case if there is no sufficient stock or if there is negative stock at that time, that's when the amount would get posted to stock loss or gain account. Please suggest if I've understood the concept right.
Hi,
The PRD will trigger when the standard price maintained in the material mater record is different from the price in MIGO . The other chance is the material is maintained with MAP and MIRO done before GR ,The value of the quntity (not available in stock )
will get posted to PRD. I hope this will resolve your issue. Thanking you
You had suggested: The other chance is the material is maintained with MAP and MIRO done before GR ,The value of the quntity (not available in stock ) will get posted to PRD. I hope this will resolve your issue.
You are right: I forgot to mention that the price indicator is V. The other point is we purchase the materials from an internal vendor, as and when the materials are dispatched from the main storehouse in Sri Lanka, there is an advice that is created in the system and that is interfaced and parked in the system. However, normally until the GR is done IV will not happen. But there could be a chance, as the advice gets created within 24 hours. However the material to reach the godown in our warehouse will take more than 24 hours as the goods have to be shipped from SL, so IV is possible before GR.

Quantity & price difference between purchase order and goods receipt

goods receipt against purchase order
inventory a/c    dr
   gr/ir clearing a/c    cr
if there is any quantity & price difference in between PO and GR ex- PO order -1000 bags @ rs 10 but good receipt 900 @ Rs 10
then how the price difference and quantity diference treated in sap
what will be the entries, how we adjust it.
regards
siba

kindly note that depending on the Moving average or standard price (price control flag in mm01) the difference will either get adjusted with the material or to the price difference account accordingly.
in the example for standard price
         gr for po :10 bags @ 11
dr stock 100
cr gr/ir 110
dr price diff 10
the above is in case of material maitained at 'Standard price' in the mm03.

Price difference in PO-invoice to different Consumer Account

Hello,
I have the following situation:
Purchase Order: 10 units x 1000 USD = 10000     (Account assigned : u201CKu201D)
Goods Receipt: 10 units (x 1000 USD) = 10000    (valuated GR against consumer account)
PO u2013 invoice:     10 unitos x 1100 USD = 11000     (Invoice with price difference)
1) Upon GR u2013 Accounting document shows:
420021 (consumer account)     10000
220021 (GR/IR)          -10000
2) Upon entering the invoice, SAP standard makes the following account movements:
123456 (Vendor Account)       -11000
220021 (GR/IR) =             10000
420021 (Consumer Account)         1000       (Price difference) - Goes to the same consumer account !
I would like to know if I can configure in the invoice account determination a diferent consumer account for the price difference so that the acounting document will show:
123456 (Vendor Account)                           -11000
220021 (GR/IR) =             10000
420055 (Consumer Account)         1000       (Price difference) - a different consumer account !
Anyone did this before? How, is it standard config of OBYC or does one need a user-exit to accomplish this?
Thanks for any reply,
Aart

Hi guys,
Thanks for your replies.
I customized in the OBYC the price difference account PRD (for the Valuation Category of the material) even changed for the particular material the Price control in the Material Master from "V" to "S", but still, the difference upon receiving the invoice (MIRO) goes to the same Consumer Account!
Maybe the PRD account only works in Stock Postings. Im using POs account assigned (Cost Center).
Any clues?
Thanks,
Aart
