COGS value transfer to COPA when goods sold is Moving Average Price (V)

[Former Member]

Hi All,

Ok, now I am so confused and stucked into the issue!

I configured the COPA Mater > Valuation so that I can transfer the COGS value to COPA from Billing document.

I tested and see it works pretty much fine for materials those have their price control S with valid cost estimates in current period.

Now, as we are rolling out our global template, I tried to implement the same technich used in different country but in that site,

items which will be sold to customers are all moving average price with their price control V (Previous site was factory and this site is trading company).

I realized the COGS value is not transfered to COPA since item I billed for testing did not have valid cost estimate.

How can I transafer the COGS value to the COPA for those materials with moving average price?  Need detailed explanation.

Hi

Instead of KE4J, use KEPC... There you can maintain costing key for the combination Mat Type / Plant

This way you will exclude the new plants from this requirement...

Only COGS that you will flow to COPA in this case is through VPRS condition type

Hi, Ajay

your answer is still not clear to me.

Could you give me more detail view in case of sending the cosg value for moving average price materials?  You meant to say I don't need to configure valuation part as we do not use standard price?

If so how we manage to do it?

Yes, you dont need to configure valuation for such cases

Remove your costing key assignments from KE4J and use KEPC with Plant + Mat Type combination

For the new business, valuation should not be active

Hi Ajay,

Thanks for the clarification.

Althogh currently we do not have such case, but if we are selling products for both moving average price and standard price, how we can implement the solution with SAP?  I afraid the setting to transfer the data from SD condition type and that to transfer the data using standard price valuation may conflict each other...

Thanks in advance for your reply and answer!

Hi

Well, there are many ways you can handle that scenario...

One way is to remove the tick mark in your costing key to issue error msg incase no value found.. You can use exit RV45AFZZ in SD to check the existence of Std cost before billing so that error is issued at an earlier stage..

Another way is  to add Price Control of the material as a Char in COPA and assign costing key in COPA with ref to Plant + Mat Type + Price Control

There are few other ways too, but I have listed out only the easier ones

Yes Ajay, actually I came up with the same idea once.  But it seems SAP is smater enough to distingish such case depending on price control like i explained below.  I actually tested this by posting billing document using the same material twice. 

1.  Price control V. 

2,  Price control changed to S using MM02.

Both case, I observed COGS are transfered to COPA table CE1*(your operating concern)

Thanks for supporting and I hope you have a greate evening. 

Cheers!
