Material price information – purchase contracts

If the Material Pricing in Procurement check box is selected in the Material Price Parameters (tcmpr0100m000) session, material price information can be linked to a purchase contract line.

When you specify a purchase contract line in the Purchase Contract Lines (tdpur3101m000) session, LN searches for a valid material price agreement and includes the material price information in the purchase contract line.

On the General tab of the Purchase Contract Lines (tdpur3101m000) session, in the Price group box, you can view the (material) price for the purchase contract line. On the appropriate menu of this session, click Material Price Information to view the detailed material price information in the Material Price Information (tcmpr1600m000) session.

Note: Material prices cannot be used in combination with generic price lists. Therefore, contract lines with the Option Based Pricing check box selected, cannot have material price information.

The material price information specified for the purchase contract line is used as a default for the linked purchase order and schedule lines. The purchase contract line only includes a material base price. Material price surcharges and surcharge costs are calculated for the linked purchase order and schedule lines.

Note: The Apply Material Prices if No Contract Material Prices check box in the Material Price Parameters (tcmpr0100m000) session is used to determine if LN must search for material price information for purchase order and schedule lines if the contract line has no material price information.

The material price information can be manually updated for a purchase contract line, or can be updated by LN, during the redetermination process. If the status of a purchase contract line is Active, the material price information can no longer be updated.

Note: If change requests are used to modify activated purchase contracts, the material price information can be modified only by using the change request process.
