The main difference is

- EK01 is used in Make To Order scenario where you do sale order costing

- VPRS is used in Make To Stock scenario where your material cost is updated in Accounting1 view based on purchase cost and subcontracting cost

Hi,

EK01 - condition type for calculating cost of the material

VPRS - condition type while calculating manufacturing cost of the material. i.e in MM01 standard price will reflect in order by VPRS condition.

Hi,

EK01 is used to carry out costing in sales document item (item in an inquiry, quotation or an order) to find out the planned costs for this item. This is called sales order costing.

Sales order costing can be carried out using the following methods:

1)Product costing-Product costing calculates the cost of the sales order item on the basis of the sales order BOM

2)Unit costing-Unit costing is used if the system cannot access a sales order BOM.

You can copy the results of sales order costing to the SD conditions. Copying can be carried out:

a)as a basis for pricing-If you want to use sales order costing as a basis for pricing in SD, you can use the standard SAP condition type EK01.

b)at a statistical level-You can copy sales order costing at a statistical level, if you do not wish to determine the price on the basis of this costing, but you wish to use the costs determined to calculate the profit margin in SD. EK02 is the condition type provided for this in the standard system.

VPRS is used, you may want to compare the prices with costs or even implement contribution margin accounting.

The condition type VPRS goes into the valuation segment in the material master and determines from this the standard price or average price.

a)The condition type VPRS is labeled as a statistical condition in the pricing procedure.

b)Using the condition category G, the condition type VPRS goes into the valuation segment of the material master and determines from here the standard or average price.

c)The condition category S always accesses the standard price whereas condition category T always accesses the average price.

d)The profit margin is determined using the calculation formula 11 assigned in the pricing procedure. In this calculation formula the cost price is subtracted from the subtotal of net value 2.

Sumit,

Does that mean for EK01 we caleculate costs manually and put in pricing structure? If so what happens if VPRS is already there in pricing?

Thanks,

Hi Phani Kumari

We calculate EK01 costs when we Controlling generates report and checks wheather any profit or loss took place.

Coming to VPRS when we do PGI then the VPRS value will be getting updated and it will be hitting G/L accounts as per the PGI happens Finally we need to maintain Both EK01 & VPRS condition type in our pricing procedure

Hi Phani Kumari

VPRS - It is a conditon type which picks up the standard price from the MMR

EK01 - It is the condition type which is used for costing purpose
