Price simulation of Info Records

[Former Member]

What cause when I did price simulation for Info Records the calculated value does not same with create material cost estimate with quantity structure(ck11n). I only have 1 vendor for the material. Where and how to check the error?

Hi,

Check the material valuation strategy sequence on your costing variant (OKKN). The priority 1 should be 'Price from Purchasing Info Record'. CK11N actually don't pull std cost from material master. It's the other way around. CK11N calculates the std cost based from the sources defined in the valuation strategy. Once the std cost calculated in CK11N is marked and released it the std price in the material master is populated. Marking updates future price while releasing transfers it future to current price. I hope this will help you.Thanking you.

Thank you for helping.

Yes calculated value used exchange rate to get the RMB price.

Can I know what is your meaning to "Marking updates future price while releasing transfers it future to current price".

Does this refer to costing 2 view in mm? Can you elaborate more.

To explain:-

When at first execute 'Price Simulation', system will calculate for

simulation quantity (based on standard quantity + base UoM).

E.g. take 5 PC

Info record price is 340 USD / CAR (which is 2000 PC for matl 1C11010937)Price of 0,17 USD is correctly calculated.

Afterwards, when wyou execute the 2nd step 'Simulation', it will show net value of 1,02 USD

This has following technical reason:

During price simulation, quantity (simul-mglme) will be calculated in

MENGE_UMRECHNEN_FLOAT to 0,003, this is already the rounding result

and will be taken for price determination.

5 / 2000 = 0,003 (-> should be 0,0025)

0,003 multiplied by 340 USD will show the price of 1,02 USD.

If you take 1 PC (as simulation quantity) the internal calculated

quantity is 0,001, multiplied by 340 USD will show the price of 0,34 USD

If you take 2 PC (as simulation quantity) the internal calculated

quantity is still 0,001, multiplied by 340 USD will still show the price of 0,34 USD

This behavior is directly related to large conversion factors and very

low prices for 1 PC (price e.g. less than 0,5 USD / 1 PC)

okay my CK11N refer to standard price in material master which is in RMB but why at price simulation for info records doesnt reflect the same amount which is in std price mm. My PO and price condition is in USD.. Anything related to exchange rate? Can anyone help?
