Changing the Type of Price Control (SAP Library - Actual Costing/Material Ledger (CO-PC-ACT))

Changing the Type of Price Control

Under certain conditions, you can change the type of price control:

From standard price to moving average price

You can make this change at any time. The moving average price (which until now has been updated for informational purposes only) replaces the standard price and is used for valuation from now on.

From moving average price to standard price

You cannot make this change in the following two cases:

If the material master record is set up as a valuation header record for a material subject to split valuation For more information, see Split Valuation.

If the standard price comes from costing and is not equal to the moving average price

If the change is possible, the moving average price becomes the standard price, which is then used for valuation.

You change the type of price control by overwriting the price control indicator in the material master record with the new indicator.

Changing the type of price control for a material does not change the value of the material stock, since in both cases the current price becomes the new price. This is shown in the following graphic:
