MB31 Goods Receipt Price Control

[former_member143179]

Dear Sir,

We need that during MB31 , Goods Receipt must happen at Std Price only and it should not depend on the Target Cost appearing in the Production Order .

During serching on the sdn , I came to know that Price control startegy during MB31 can be any-one of the following :

the Goods Receipt for FERT/HALB happens according to either of the four strategies:

• Standard Price ( if there exists one)

• Customer Exit COPCP002

• Sales Order Cost Estimate

• Preliminary Order Cost Estimate for prod order

Kindly guide us , as what steps need to be followed to define these price strategy control during the MB31 . Does it require some thing in SPRO ? .

Kindly guide pl .

Hi

The reqmt is not clear. If u say that during MB31 system should take material master price I think it takes that only. U have to set S (standard) as price indicator, run cost estimation through CK11N/CK40N after creating BOM, routing & activity price. It will update the price in material master which is based on the qty structure(BOM, routing). In MB31 u will get material stock and updated price.

Thanks & regds

Dear Mr Biswanath Rath

Thanks for Reply .

Our Requirement is that during MB31 , stock should come at the Actual Value (Amount spent on the Production Order) . At present the Stock is comming at the Std Price (Std Price as per Material Master after the Cost run) .

See , We are in Engineer-To-Order scenario and for us each manufactured Item (HALB & FERT both) are unique every time . So it is really impossible to know the accurate Std Cost in advance . Due to large variation between the Std Price and Actual Amount spent on Production Order , it leads to huge amount in Price Differnce during the Order Settlement and this affect the accuracy of monthly Profitablity figure .

While searching on sdn , I came to know that by using USER-EXIT COPCP005 , we can exercise our logic about as what cost should be carried-out during MB31 .

But , I o not know what steps/ / code need to be followed for this User-Exit to implement .

I hope that now our requirement is pretty clear .

Hi

I think u can solve this problem by making Moving average price for the mat code. Exactly same reqmt is there with 1 of my client and we had to go for V. So after confirmation of production order when u settled the MAP will be changed as per the expenditure incurred.

Dear Mr Biswanath Rath

Thanks for your nice reply . Maintaining V as Price Control can be ok as long as either you have 1 qty in a Production Order or you do the MB31 for all quantity of a Production Order in a single go . Problem can occur incase say you have 2 qty in a Production Order and you do MB31 in phases say initially you do MB31 for 1 qty and after some time MB31 is done for remaining 1 qty .

Kindly guide on the above issue pl .

Hi

What u told is right. The problem is there in case of partial qty confirmation. But overall if u want to see the cost at product level (if it is MTO) u will get the correct cost after final confirmation. Till then some erratic results will be there.

If I find any other approach I will let u know.
