Actual price of Activity

[Former Member]

I find certain settings in the controlling area settings - settings for each fiscal year for planning and price calculation. My requirement is to calculate the actual price of the activities. What should be my settings in this area in order to calculate the actual price of my activities ?

Hi,

In Maintain Version in settings for Controlling folder in Settings for each Fiscal Year under Price calculation tab

Select 1 Revaluation in separate transaction (or) 2 Revaluation in original transaction for Revaluation at Actual Prices field. Details as bellow

Revaluation at Actual Prices

Indicator determining whether actual activities in a version are

valuated with actual prices and how the valuation is performed.

0 Not valuated

All actual activities valuated with the plan price

1 Revaluation in separate transaction

All actual activities valuated with the actual price; original

allocation unchanged

The differences between allocations valuated with plan and actual

prices are posted under a separate transaction (actual price

calculation).

2 Revaluation in original transaction

All actual activities revaluated with the actual price; original allocation changed

The differences between allocations valuated with actual and plan

prices are not shown with this option.

Thanks for the reply.

Please also comment on the 'purely iterative price' setting. What that will do and what are the actions available further to that setting from the transaction side.

Purely Iterative Price

Indicator controlling whether parallel prices are calculated and stored for activity types as part of the price calculation. You can calculate prices separately for each version/fiscal year.

Indicator active

o Activate the indicator only if you set allocation prices manually during activity type planning. If the indicator is active, price calculation gives a purely iterative price as well as the price resulting from planning (a mixture of iterative and manually-set prices). The system calculates purely iterative prices as if no manually-set prices exist, meaning that it determines separate purely iterative prices for all activity types on all cost centers in this version. Because both prices are stored in parallel, you can use the price report to compare the purely iterative prices with the prices resulting from planning. The iterative price shows the effect of manual prices on activity prices overall.

To evaluate the allocated actual activity quantities, the system uses the prices resulting from planning, provided you have not revalued the actual activities with actual prices. The purely iterative price

is essential for valuating actual activity quantities.

Indicator inactive

If the indicator is inactive, the system does not calculate purely iterative prices
