Changing the Price of Chargeable Components 

Use

You can change the price of a chargeable component – that is, the price that you charge a subcontractor for it – at any time.

If the subcontractor has any components in stock, you have to reverse the goods issue postings for the components, change the price, and then create a new goods issue posting. For these purposes, use the Change Component Price transaction, which covers all three steps.

Procedure

...

       1.      In the Subcontracting with Chargeable Components area menu, choose Component Maintenance ® Change Component Price.

       2.      Enter the vendor, the plant that issues the chargeable component, and the component’s material number, and choose .

The quantity of chargeable components on the subcontractor’s premises is displayed on the Material Info tab.

       3.      Choose Reverse Goods Issue.

A dialog box appears.

       4.      Enter the document date and the posting date of the goods issue reversal documents that the system will create, and specify which storage location you want to transfer each component to.

This is required for technical reasons. When the system creates the material documents, it needs to know which storage location to post the goods movements to.

       5.      Choose .

The system generates:

¡        A material document to reverse the goods issues

¡        A credit memo to reverse the invoices for these chargeable components

The documents are shown in the execution log and in the history of changes.

If something goes wrong with the transaction and you need to make a posting manually, you can then continue with the transaction. To do so, choose Modify History and enter the material document number.

       6.      Choose Change Component Price.

       7.      Double-click the validity period that you want to change the price for.

       8.      Enter the new price and save the condition record.

       9.      Choose Create Goods Issue.

A dialog box appears.

   10.      Enter the document date and the posting date of the goods issue documents that the system will create, and specify which storage location you want to transfer each component from.

   11.      Choose .

The system generates a material document to post the goods issues. The document is shown in the execution log and in the history of changes.

Result

The next step is to create a new invoice for the chargeable components. It automatically uses the new price.

If, later on, you need to check what changes you made, call the transaction again for exactly the same vendor, plant, and material. The changes are shown on the History of Changes tab.
