transfer price variants

A transfer price variant determines whether plan data or actual data is to be valuated.

For goods movements, only actual data is valuated. In this case you only need the fixed variant 000.

However, if you want to find plan prices based on costing data, you can define any number of variants for transfer prices.

Creating your own transfer price variant

1. Click on Create in the lower left-hand screen area.

2. Give your variant a three-digit number and a text description.

3. Specify the costing sheets which are to run in the transfer price variant. You can choose the sequence in which they are processed using the seq. field.

4. If the condition analysis indicator is activated, the system will call up condition analysis for each transaction which determines a transfer price.

5. This indicator should only be activated for testing purposes, in order to ensure that transfer prices are found correctly in accordance with the settings in Customizing for Profit Center Accounting.

6. Unless you specify otherwise, condition analysis is performed for each transfer price variant, and is not user-specific.

7. Condition analysis can also be made user-specific. To do so, set the set get parameter DIA to X in the user master record. The user in question can then activate condition analysis for all existing transfer price variants.

8. Save your variant.
