If your system landscape includes different distributed systems, you can use this function to send material prices between systems based on the price control (from SAP R/3 Enterprise Extension Set 1.10).

Prerequisites

  • The Customizing settings are the same in both the sender and receiver systems.

  • The material numbers are the same in all systems.

  • You have made the settings required for sending material prices in Customizing for the receiver system under   Materials Management   Valuation and Account Assignment   Set Up Material Price Dispatch  .

  • You have set up the distribution model for sending material prices in Customizing.

Procedure

  1. In the sending system, choose   Accounting   Controlling   Product Cost Controlling   Actual Costing/Material Ledger   Material Ledger   Send Material Prices  .

  2. Enter the sending and receiving plants.

    Note Note

    The sending and receiving plants can be different or identical.

    End of the note.

  3. If you manually enter a logical system, the material prices are only sent to that system.

    Otherwise, the logical system is determined by the ALE distribution model.

  4. In Material Selection, select the materials you want to send the prices for.

    Select a material type using the corresponding buttons: Stock material, valuated sales order stock or valuated project stock and choose enter. This allows you display or hide additional selection options.

  5. In the valuation view section, define the valuation for the prices to be sent.

    If the material ledger is not active in the sending plant, you cannot make any settings here and the material prices are sent in local currency for the legal valuation method.

    If the material ledger is active in the sending plant you can choose to send the material prices according to any of the valuation methods maintained in the material ledger.

  6. Select the period from which the material prices should be sent.

  7. Specify the posting date for the revaluation posting in the receiver system.

  8. Specify the output options and additional options as required.

  9. Choose Execute.

    Note Note

    You can check the Idocs in the sending and receiving system using transaction BD87.

    End of the note.

Result

The prices are sent to the receiver system. If inventory exists in the receiving system, it is revaluated using the material prices just sent.
