SAP Note 81682 - Pr.contr.V for semi-finished and finished products

Component : Actual Costing/Material Ledger -

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/81682 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
SAP recommends the use of price control S for semi-finished and finished products to avoid unrealistic valuation prices due to the limitations of price control V. When using price control V, situations such as simultaneous production and retirement of materials, settlement of incomplete orders, absence of periodic cost checks, and early settlement in the ‘Delivery completed’ status may distort moving average prices. SAP advises leveraging the material ledger’s function to apply periodic actual prices calculated reliably, considering price differences and variations from actual raw material costs, effectively from Release 4.5 onward.

Key words :
single production order calculates cost, production order settlement calculates variances, single production order carries, -called price limiter quantity, symptom unrealistic valuation prices, prerequisites sap strongly recommends, terms production order, participating cost center, unrealistic valuation prices, unrealistic prices occur
