ML AVR - Initial Standard Price for new materials created during the year is wrong

[orehai]

When we create a new material during the year the initial standard price is faulty in AVR since it does not take into account the released cost estimate of the material. It retains the initial price from the copied material. This leads to a wrong preliminary valuation and variance calculation in AVR. How can we resolve this?

When you do a dedicated CK11N and corresponding CK24 for the newly created material, do you then also have that problem?

Steffen thanks for your response. The problem continues even when doing a dedicated CK11N and CK24. When copying a material from another material three standard prices(SP) are copied:

-Current period

-Previous period

-Last period of the previous year

When performing CK11n only the current period can be altered but the basis for AVR costing is the previous period.

Hello Orestis,

O.K., I understand. So you want to be able to initialize also the "previous period standard price".

Correct?

SAP Support responded to this query:

when you execute an alternative valuation run which cumulates the data of several periods, you have two options for the standard price which should be used for your materials: Either the standard price of the first cumulation is used or the standard price of the last cumulation period. You can define this in transaction CKMLCPAVR in the settings: The relevant parameter is the "Provisional price" which can be set to "E" (first cumulation period) or "L" (last cumulation period).

Therefore, if for some of your materials you do not want to use the standard price which was valid in the first cumulation period then you should set this parameter to "L".
