Material Price Determination

In order to achieve precise material costs and to have the ability to simulate cost effects of quantity scales, the material price of a calculation can be determined via the following methodologies:

• Quantity-depending scaled prices
• Supplier-dependent material prices
• Plant-dependent material prices

The relevant material price determination is based on the required quantity of the material in the calculation.

Quantity-depending scaled prices

In FACTON, you can administer quantity-dependent material prices (scaled prices) for company-own materials in the Master Data workspace.

You can do this via the value rule table »Price per Unit« via the columns »Quantity Scale from« and »Quantity Scale To«.

• Values for the »Quantity Scale From« dimension: greater than or equal to
• Values for the »Quantity Scale To« dimension: less than
• You can enter whole numbers or comma numbers / decimal numbers.

 

Supplier-dependent material prices

In FACTON, you can also administer material prices depending on the supplier. You can do this via the value rule table »Price per Unit« via the column »Supplier«.

 

Plant-dependent material prices

In FACTON, you can administer material prices depending on the plant. You can do this via the value rule table »Price per Unit« via the column »Plant«.

 

Value rules at a material

At the material, you can maintain value rules that are only valid for this material. Based on the selected values in the calculation for the dimensions, the dimension-dependent property of the value rule is determined.

You can define the following value rules for company-own materials:

• Price per Unit
• Refund per Unit

The material price per unit and the refund per unit depend on the following dimensions:
