Contract release value to match invoice amount

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a business scenario where I have an Outline agreement contract and POs created from it for metals prices that fluctuate when invoices come in.

There is a PO with the initial unit price and then deliveries are made in bulks,not for whole PO line qty. Invoice for each of those deliveries have different unit price as metal prices fluctuate. The Contract release amount is deducted based on PO unit price and not invoice price. Hence the right amount spend doesn't get deducted from Contract amount.

Is there a way we could get the invoice price deducted from the contract amount?

How does other companies handle such a case when invoices come in with different unit price for each of the deliveries on same PO line?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

As you may know, the invoice posting doesnt have any impact on the contract consumed value calculation. Ths system design is clearly explained in the wiki: https://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/ERPSCM/Contract+release+value+update+logic+for+material+items and https://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/ERPSCM/Contract+release+values+for+service+documents

If you need to update the invoice value as released value, you need to think about an exit in MIRO and update the invoice value to EKAB. You may check the FM's under ME_UPDATE_AGREEMENT*
