Vendor consignment issue

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I am having an issue in Vendor Consignment process. Our client is purchasing some precise metal and consume them in regular intervals. The scenario is as below;

Receipt 1) PIR Validity - 01.04.2015 - 30.04.2015 - The Purchase Price is - $90 - Goods purchased are 100 PC.

Receipt 2) PIR Validity - 01.05.2015 - 31.05.2015 - The Purchase Price is -$100- Goods purchased are 100 PC.

They consume 50 PC from the first receipt in the month april, let say on 15.04.2015. The cost of consumption is $90*50=4500. The remaining 50 PC from the first receipt are consumed on 10.05.2015, but the system takes the price from the valid price for 10.05.2015, that is 50*100= 5000, which is not correct.

Please advise whether there is any different process to be followed or any workaround method to solve this issue. Thank you.

Yes, we are using 411-K for consumption. I agree the system behavior is correct. But in this scenario, the vendor agree a price for the first delivery and different price for the second delivery.

Basically what I am looking for is the system should pick the price not based on the date of consumption, but the date of goods receipt from the vendor.

Not possible in standard. You know system will not generate any accounting entry during goods receipt. It is created during transfer posting (411K movement type). So, system will not check the document date of goods receipt.

On which date your new price falls its falls on under 01.05.2015 - 31.05.2015.

The system behavior is correct.

I assume your consume does mean the movement type 411 K. Isn't it ?

If yes, then system will always take the price from info record which is valid for the document date of 411K movement type.

If no, then can you please explain how you are consuming the material and with which movement type.
