Hi Vikas,

We handle this through a small upload program that is based on batch input for transaction MEK1.

Here we can load based on data from an excel file the new prices.

A standard way in SAP would be using a condition index

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_470/helpdata/en/9e/5959383b551359e10000009b38f8cf/content.htm

Other default transactions are:

MEKP for info recs

MEKR for contracts

MEKL for scheduling agreements

These work with absolute or percentage value changes.

Hi,

If the vendor sends the price through EDI and its automatically updates price in info record or in condition record.

But if your specific, better to have customized program to run every day by an authorised person (may be a Cetralised Buyer) to update the condition record only for the selected vendor and material from a input file( may be excel file which been checked and approved by again an authorised person entered).So when ever  Purchase Order created based on date, price picks from condition record for respective vendor and material!

you are maintain through EDI or customized program.. there is an option of displaying multiple prices in PO which is picked from info record.

In ME11 / ME12 - conditions - maintain the prices like below

PB00 - 1000

PB00 - 2000

PB00 - 3000

When you create PO, system pulls all the prices to PO - PB00 conditions with multiple line items but it takes only the last condition 3000 for calculationt and other condition line items is showed with yellow message. It helps the user to pick a price from different option.

if you want to bring the changed condtion record value to the PO, you can try to use price date control in vendor master purchasing data

if it is to create condtion record you can try LSMW for MEKI for the price condtion.
