settlement control

Definition

Specifies how the material price determination should procede.

You have the following options:

• With price control V in activity-based material price determination (indicator2 in the material master), the moving average price is calculated. With price control S, the material is valuated with the standard price and the moving average price is calculated for information purposes.

• In single-/multi-level material price determination(indicator 3 in the material master), the valuation price (standard price) remains unchanged and a periodic unit price is calculated for the closed period.
  This option is only for materials with price control indicator S ,and is only recommended if in addition to multiple currencies and/or valuations, you use single-/multi-level material price determination.
  In single-/multi-level material price determination, a periodic unit price is updated for information, but it can only be used for material valuation in the closed period.

Dependencies

The indicator is only of use if the

material ledger is active.

Upon activating a valuation area for the Material Ledger in Customizing, you can enter what type of material price determination will be proposed when creating a material in that valuation area. This proposal will be ignored at production startup: the system automatically sets the indicator to 2 in the material master for all materials present.

If you want to change the indicator for a particular material later, choose Accounting -> Controlling -> Actual Costing/Material Ledger -> Environment -> Change Material Price Determination.
