Price differences are assigned to consumption through material price determination. If these differences are not used in multilevel price determination, or if multilevel price determination has not yet taken place, these price differences appear in material price analysis under Consumption/not allocated.

For more information, see

During price determination, the system carries out the following calculation:

(prelim. valuation + price diff. + exchange rate diff.) / cum. inventory = (600 Mxn + 42 Mxn + 42 Mxn) / 30 pieces. = 22.8 Mxn / pieces

The price control is not changed in the master data. The raw material cocoa is valuated with the standard price. The price calculated through price determination is updated as a periodic transfer price in period 1 and as statistical information in the accounting view 1 of the material master.

Accounting View 1 in the Material Master

Period 1: Price control: standard price: 20 Mxn,

statistically updated moving average price: MXN 22.8

Caution Caution

No postings occur in FI.

No consumption is debited. For this reason, uncalculated price differences that are first entered into the higher processing steps during multilevel price determination appear in the material price analysis after single-level price determination.

End of the caution.
