Enhancements in Purchase Account Management 

Use

This release note only concerns customers who, due to legal requirements, work with active purchase account management in their system. At present this concerns the following countries: Belgium, Spain, Portugal, France, Italy, and Finland.

You can use the

Del. costs to price diff. acct when purch. acct active indicator to define that when purchase account management is active, the system posts delivery costs to the price difference account as well as the freight purchase account. The purchase offsetting account is the offsetting account for this additional posting.

By making this extra posting, you ensure that the material ledger takes the freight costs into account when it adjusts the price.

You can use the

Start of validity period f. del. costs in price diff. acct indicator to define from which fiscal year onwards delivery costs should be posted to the price difference account.

Effects on Customizing

You maintain these new settings in Customizing for Valuation and Account Assignment in the activity Calculation of Value for Purchase Account .
