Set Transfer Prices in a Productive System

If you want to activate transfer prices in your system but have already gone live, you can make the following additional settings, depending on how your system is set up:

• Assign valuation views to versions

• Change the currency type of the controlling area

Assigning valuation views to versions

If you do not use transfer prices, the data in version 000 is automatically valuated from the legal viewpoint. If you are implementing transfer prices in a live system and want to use version 000 for profit center valuation or group valuation, you may be able to change the version depending on certain conditions.

Note that you can only define those valuation views specified in the currency and valuation profile to versions.

Example

Up to now, you have been storing your actual data in version 000. You would like to implement transfer prices from the profit center viewpoint for your operational version. In this case, you need to change the valuation view in version 000 to profit center valuation.

Requirements

• This is only possible if the currency and valuation profile is not active. If the profile is active, you cannot change the version.

• The currency and valuation profile must be assigned to the relevant controlling area. You cannot change a version unless the currency and valuation profile that contains it is assigned to a controlling area.

Changing the currency type of the controlling area

You can store up to three valuation views in up to two different currencies in your system. The currencies supported are:

• Company code currency (currency type 10)

• Group currency (currency type 30)

If you have been storing your transaction data with a different currency type up to now and want to implement transfer prices, you may be able to change the currency type under the following circumstances.

Example

Up to now, you have been using the currency type "Controlling area currency" (currency type 20, "USD"). This currency type is not supported if you use multiple valuation approaches. If the group currency (currency type 30) is also "USD", you can change the currency type for your controlling area from 20 to 30. This gives you the maximum number of allowed currency types (10 and 30).

Requirements

• The currency and valuation profile CANNOT be active.

• The currency and valuation profile MUST be assigned to the controlling area.

• The key ("USD") of the controlling area currency must be the same as that of the group currency, and the group currency must be contained in the currency and valuation profile OR

• The key of the controlling area must be the same as the legal currency (company code currency).

Activities

If required, change the valuation view for the version and/or the currency type or controlling area currency.
