Price coming for a condition type but no records are maintained.

[former_member303858]

Hi All,

We have a situation where for a condition type, system is proposing a value. When checked, no records have been maintained for the condition type.

When analysed in more detail we saw that for the specified vendor and the material, only 1 PO was created. And in the PO, for the said condition type, used has manually entered the value.

So I created a new PO, system proposed the value. I removed the value and saved the PO. Then created a new PO, and in this PO system did not propose any value.

Then I checked with some guys around and as per them it is a standard SAP behavior to propose the value for the condition type when you create a new PO for the same vendor and material.

I am basically an SD guy, hence wanted to check if this behaviour is correct..?? plz advise.

1-cannot be changed

3-changable,new release in case of strategy

4-changable,new release in case of strategy or value change

This is indeed the behavior of a standard SAP system, it will propose the pricing of the previous PO, nothing anomalous here.

Hi,

We tried to recreate the scenario but were not able to.

Does anybody has such experience in which a condition type with value is getting proposed in PO, even if there are no records maintained.

Plz share and advice.

Hi

AS you said already you have created a p.o , in std sap if you created a p.o ,system will check check the PIR the default price will come from the purchase info record if it exists or system use the last document price (last p.o price) for the new p.o if this is the firrst time you are creating the p.o then you have to enter the price manually.

Hi,

All defualt condition values are normally gets copied from Info record which is maintained through ME11.

Delete the info record from ME12 (GET THE INFO RECORD NUMBER FROM PREVIOUS PO). and then use option Extras > Deletion Flag.

Or while creating PO ,system automatically copied info record number in me21n,delete the same at the intial stage,so that PO will not copied any defualt values.

Hope this will resolve your query.

Hi Sandesh,

Thanks for replying.

There are no info records which suggest system to pick up the value.

Let me know if it is a standard behavior for system to copy value from 1st created PO's to other newly creted PO.
