Usage for Future Standard Price

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We have carry out a Cost Estimate with Quantity Structure using CK11N and then MARK the Cost Estimate to the Material Master using CK24. Now I know that when we just MARK the cost estimate the value will go to the Future Standard Price of the Material, only after we have RELEASED it then it will get to the Current Cost Estimate and hence update the Standard Price of the Material Master.

My question is : when do we use the Future Standard Price in SAP, because when we carry out the Variance Calculation KKS2 with Target Cost Version 0 it uses the Current Cost Estimate (Standard Price). So can anyone please tell me where SAP uses the Future Standard Price?

Thanks.
