Process Flow

  1. During price determination for a purchase order is created, the system establishes which conditions apply to the purchase order in question.
  2. When the vendor’s invoice is received, it is checked against the purchase order and the goods receipt.
  3. If the incoming invoice is correct, the cumulative business volume data (values, quantities purchased, and so on) is updated by the addition of the data from the invoice.
  4. Credit memos received from vendors have a retrospective and reversing effect on the updated data in comparison with the corresponding invoices. The areas of application and the validity periods of the conditions are taken into account. If, according to the condition type, a provision for accrued income is to be set up, the appropriate posting is made at the time of goods receipt and the moving average price in the article master record is changed accordingly.

In the case of articles with standard price, the articles stock data is not reduced. An offsetting entry is posted in the price difference account.
