How should the PPV account be setup?

407 Views

I have seen gold contributors like Ajay Maheshwari saying Price Variance should not be a cost
element.

I am new to controlling & trying to clean up after the implementation team, so please
help.

Requirement: Price Variance needs to hit Copa. Not any
other cost object.

Issues with Current config:

  1. Price Variance is a cost element – hence needs a cost object
  2. There are OKB9 settings, that default the CC – Client is not
    happy with the defaults – they want price variance to act just like GRIR -
    determine the CC, PC & segment based on material master.
  3. Price variance is not configured to flow into COPA at all

I have a chance to redo this & would like to do it right – what are the recomendations.

My questions:

  1. If Price Variance is not a cost element how does the value flow into COPA?
  2. Mapping MM pricing condition to copa value field - is that only relevant for IS retail? Can I do
    that?
  3. Should I create a new GL acct? Expiring the existing cost
    element – what are the implications
  4. Why doesn’t the price variance determine the CC, PC & segment based on material master like GRIR?
    Why were the OKB9 defaults set?
