PS valuation material

[Former Member]

Hi guru,

I have the following question about valuation of materials with PS ( project stock is used ).

When I produce a FG, the system posts costs of consumption and hours on the WBS element, and it is OK.

When I post good receipt of FG, I don't see the posting on WBS element. I read that "During the first goods receipt, the system saves a standard price in the individual stock segment for a material, plant and WBS element" from help, so my expectation is to have a standard price for the FG after the first good receipt but I don't have it

Please, could you help me to understand how can I have this standard price?

Thanks

Regards

Hi Raffaele,

I think this is controlled from material master itself. Check the material master (MM03) 'accounting' tab (accounting 1 perhaps) what is the price valuation of the material. It could be either S (standard) or V (valuated). In your case it should be S. Check it and test the same in your testing client and let us know if it helps.

You can also include your MM consultant into it.

V = Moving Average Price (I don't know what do you mean by "Valuated")

Hi, thanks For Your answers. My material has Price control S. I didn't calculate standard cost For this material because I understand from help sap that the standard Price is calculated when I post the first good receipt. Is it correct or I'm wrong? Thanks regards

Thanks for correcting Dev. We tend to forget less frequently used terms.Being away from system we don't get chance to check it and correct it on time.

Hi Raffaele,

I am not sure about it.

Let's wait for other experts to comment on it.

If you are using material price control S. Then material standard price will never change during transaction (eg. goods receipt).

At the time of material creation, you entered the standard price for material and the price for material is fixed for all transaction.

It will never change automatically with any transaction. You can only change the price manually from MR21.

Whatever you are talking is about the price control V. if you have material with price control V, then system will change the price when you post first goods receipt.

Hi Dev,

Please, could you tell me?

Thanks

The valuation strategy is maintained in the Valuation Variant.

I would advice you to get help from your FI/CO consultant and find out the strategy maintained. Meanwhile you can check tcode OKY0 and see if you get what you need.
