Future price vs. average price / material expenses in COPA

328 Views

Hello,

at the moment we have some trouble with the material input in the COPA for merchandise. Normally the material input for it should be the average price from the material master.

After having analysed some missing costs for material input we have realised that in case there is a future price with a valid date < the billing date the future price is taken and not the average one, e. g.

average price: 10 u20AC

future price: 12 u20AC

valid date: 01/31/2008

billing date: 02/01/2008

results in material input of 12u20AC. In the sap help it is said that the future price is only taken into account if "it is activated for material valuation."

Can somebody tell me what changes I have to make so that the material input is taken from the average price instead of the future price (quasi setting the future price to inactive regardless of value and valid date). Otherwise we have have to change sd conditions etc. which is a lot of work.

Thanks in advance.
