CKM3 - PPV analysis: split between exchange rate effect and price effect

[jody_mancini]

Dears,

I need to verify how the purchase price variance (PPV) is calculated within the Material Ledger, specifically regarding the split between exchange rate effect and price effect.

I found transaction CKM3 that display the exchange rate difference and the price difference (I think total price difference = exchange rate effect + price effect), but I still have some open points:

- How CKM3 should works? I created some documents to test this transaction (goods receipt from purchase order and its invoice) creating a PPV with exchange rate effect and price effect (both) but in CKM3 the split is not shown, only the total PPV is shown at document level.

- Is there same specific procedure to be followed? Is there other steps to be done before CKM3 is executed in order to split the PPV?

and then

- Is CKM3 the best solution to analyze the PPV within Material Ledger?

Thanks and Regards,

Jody

You can also go to the same link with (help.sap.com.) CO->PC->ML/AC->Posting Example.

CKM3 is the best solution for Material Price Analysis.

Thanks & Regards,

Tnx Adi,

this link is very helpful, now I've an idea about how the data should be shown in CKM3.

But at the moment I replicated a similar case to the example mentioned in the link, and in CKM3 I see different values: all PPV amounts are only present in column "Price difference" without the part due to the exchange rate effect.

Do you know if I need to execute a preliminary step before to execute CKM3? Or is there something to be set-up in custominzing in order to allow the correct population of the exchange rate price difference?

Thanks & Regards,

Hello,

Please refer SAP Note 908737. It details the OBYC settings that should be made and studying the same would let you know how the values are getting calculated.
