VPRS issue in STO - IC Billing process flow

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I am working on following process flow (Stock transport PO - Delivery - Intercompany billing).

Same condition type ZIXX is maintained in MM & SD Pricing procedure. In PO (STO), ZIXX is determined based on material valuation data and the same amount gets copied to IC billing.

Along with ZIXX, we have VPRS condition type in billing pricing procedure. But issue is that: VPRS does not get determine. System analysis shows message 217 (error in quantity/ value determination for VPRS).

Meanwhile, condition amount for ZIXX (determined in PO) and VPRS (determined in IC billing) may differ in some of the business scenarios. So both condition types are needed.

Following settings have been maintained:

·         Copy control settings between delivery & IC billing document

o   Price source A (Purchase order)

o   Pricing type C (Copy manual pricing elements and redetermine others)

·         Item category (Intercompany) has marked for ‘Determine cost’ with billing relevance as A (delivery related billing)

·         Condition type VPRS

o   marked as G (Internal Price)

o   marked for ‘quantity conversion

o   marked as ‘statistical’ in billing pricing PP

o   subtotal B and requirement routine 4 (Cost)

·         Condition type ZIXX

o   Marked as G (Internal price) in MM Pricing procedure

o   Marked as H (Basic Price) in SD PP with requirement routine as 2 (item with pricing)

·         Material type is updated for ‘quantity and value update’ in SAP T.Code: OMS2

Kindly let me know, how we can resolve VPRS issue.

Hi Sachin,

For the similar issue you face, there has been a discussion in the forum.. Pls check

VPRS retrives the cost of the Material from the material master data > Accounting 1 tab to the Sales order.

Once the cost is found, then Profit margin  (Net value - cost) is calculated.

VPRS does not contain any Access sequence.

With the help of its Condition category "G", it accesses the Material master > Accounting tab 1 and takes cost.

There may be two cost specified in the Material master. They are

- Moving Avarage Price

- Standard Price

Which one system will consider that depends upon the "Price control" field.

If the value is "V' in the Price control field, the system takes the "Moving Avarage Price" and if it is "S", then system takes the "Standard Price".

So, you must ensure these few control

- VPRS should  NOT have any Access sequence.

- Condition category "G" must have been assigned to VPRS.

- VPRS must have been activated as "Statistical" condition in the Pricing Procedure and should not have any Account key.
