Price variance in LC1/LC2/LC3 amounts for GR/IR account

[Former Member]

Facing an issue while posting Inter-company STO.

For the material, All currencies i. e LC1,LC2 and LC3 defined in USD. Material is set with the price indicator S.

PO qty = 5

Net price = 2.01

Prices maintained in receiving plant for example

LC1 price = 50

LC2 price = 2

LC3 price = 2

During the GR posting for Inter-company STO we have mismatch in GR/IR amount in accounting document. GR/IR for LC1 amount is updated based on PO price i.e PO qty* PO price i.e. 10.05

GR/IR for LC2 amount updated based on material master price (Profit center valuation) i.e qty received * standard price i.e. 10

GR/IR for LC3 amount updated based on material master price(Group Valuation) i.e qty received * standard price i.e. 10

My question is why GR posting is not taking PO price i. e PO qty* PO price for LC1,LC2 and LC3 amount.??

Is it standard behavior the way posting is happening for GR/IR? And any additional configuration that needs to be checked?

GR/IR represents the Liability that Receiving Company needs to pay to Vendor/Sending Company and is applicable only for Legal Valuation hence it is calculated based on PO Pricing. The same is not applicable for Profit Center/Group Valuation. Having said that since it is STO, if you look at PCA document, you should see posting to "Change in Stock" Account for the difference between PCA/Group Valuation between Sending(Standard Price of Respective Valuation View or Transfer Price, if configured/maintained) and Receiving Company codes(Standard Price of Respective Valuation View). Hope that clarifies.
