Posting a Price Change to the Previous Period or Previous Year (SAP Library - Actual Costing/Material Ledger (CO-PC-ACT))

Posting a Price Change to the Previous Period or Previous Year

Use

In Customizing for Invoice Verification, your system administrator can configure the posting of price changes to previous periods in two ways:

The price change only applies to the previous period or to the previous year.

If this setting is chosen, the system only changes the price in the previous period or in the previous year. The account movements that took place in the previous period or previous year are reversed again in the current period.

See: example

Price changes not only apply to the previous period or to the previous year but also to the current period.

If this setting is chosen, the system changes the price not only in the previous period or previous year, but also in the current period. If the quantities and previous prices are the same in the previous period or year, account movements only occur in the previous period. If this is not the case, account movements also occur in the current period. These account movements reverse the postings in the previous period and result in the current price change.

See: example

You post a price change to the previous period or year by entering a posting date from the previous period or year on the initial screen for making price changes.
