Hi Consultants,

help me out on the following scenario:

There is a procurement of material whose price is dependent on the quality parameter and accordingly the payment is made and there is a contract existing to it. Example;

If the moisture content is upto 10% rate is Rs 100

If the moisture content is above 10% to 15% the rate is Rs 90.

The PO is always made at RS 100. Once the goods are received and tested in the client laboratory then only exact moisture contents are established.

The requirement is that during invoice verification the system should purpose the amount according to the test results i.e

As PO is made for Rs 100 and in testing it is found that moisture is 12%, during invoice the system should purpose RS 90 not Rs 100.

How we can handle this scenario where I am able to manage to prices according to quality parameter in purchasing document and the amount get defaulted in MIRO according to the test results.

QM is active for this material

Thanks!

Hi,

Your main problem is that the PO price is used to update the ficnacial postings when the GR is posted. At that stage you don't know the quality of the receipt.

So you only really have two options, don't key the recipt until you know the quality, or post the PO into GR blocked stock when you receive it and only do the 105 when you know the quality and when the PO price has been changed to reflect the correct price for that quality.

Once the GR has been keyed the price from the PO is used for the financial postings and the matching of the invoice and so you will have to find a way of NOT posting the full GR until you know the quality.

That is why I prefer the GR blocked stock option, the financials are ONLY posted when you post the releease into Unrestricted and not at the initial "GR".

Hi

Are you suing Std SAP R/3 or any other industry specific solution?

In standard SAP R/3 , With standard functionality it not possible to map automatic price updation at MIRO based on percentage of Moisture content.you have to go some cuatomization by maintaing Z-table for % and prices and at MIRO system should update price wrt the Z-table.

I have no idea whether industry specific solution having standard functionality to map this or not?
