Price Sources 

When you run the Market Price Determination report, the system checks the price sources you have specified on the report selection screen to determine the market price. The price sources and their conditions for being considered, if any, are as follows:

  1. Invoices

For invoices to be considered, they must be entered in Logistics Invoice Verification.

Including Delivery Costs

Delivery costs that are invoiced separately are only included in market price determination if this invoice is referenced to the original material invoice. During invoice entry, you enter the number of your original invoice in the Reference field, and the system automatically links the delivery costs to the original invoice.

You can only enter an invoice reference number when you create an invoice for delivery costs. The system does not take any later change of reference into account when it calculates the material's market price.

In addition, in your inflation method – in the Del.costs MP (Delivery costs in market price determination) field – you must specify which delivery costs are to be taken into account.

Including Credit Memos

Similar to delivery costs, the system includes credit memos in the invoice price only if they were linked to the original material invoice. Again, you can only establish this reference when you create a credit memo, by entering the original invoice number in the Reference field.
  1. Purchase orders
  2. Contracts
  3. Info records

    4. The system does not check info records for materials subject to split valuation.

  4. Material master records

If manual changes of the material's replacement cost are to be taken into account as a valid market price, that is, if the Man. RC change (Manual change of replacement cost relevant) indicator is set in the inflation method, then the system checks the replacement cost in the material master record.
