Price Levels: Example

You determined the lowest price based on market prices, range of coverage and rate of movement. For some materials, you also entered physical inventory prices derived from data not available in the system.

You also carried out LIFO valuation and inventory costing in the system and updated the results in the material master record.

To display the values of lowest value determination based on market price in the list of results, you assign tax price 1, commercial price 1 and commercial price 3 to price level 1.
