Documentation
Definition
Setting for updating the consumption of activities and processes in the actual quantity structure. Three different settings are available:
'0' = Update is not active
'1' = Update is active but not relevant to price determination. Consumption is updated in the quantity structure but not taken into account upon price determination.
'2' = Update is active and relevant to price determination. Variances between the activity prices/process prices posted during the period and the actual price at the end of the period are adjusted subsequently.
Consequences
If the update is relevant for price determination in a plant, all allocations to orders that are settled to materials are posted with a constant price throughout the period. The valuation strategy is invalidated inasmuch as a price is calculated according to the strategy only for the first activity allocation. For all subsequent allocations, the constant price is used, even if the strategy would dictate otherwise.
The update settings can only be used together with Actual Costing.
Data can not be updated correctly if the setting changes within the period. (price determination would generate incorrect debits to materials)
Dependencies
If you activate activity consumption update in the quantity structure with the with (Activity update relevant to price determination), the differences for the cost centers/processes are subsequently debited to the relevant material. Therefore, if you activate the activity consumption update in the quantity structure with setting '2', you cannot complete the step 'revaluate actual prices' during period closing for Cost Object Controlling as this would subsequently debit the material twice.
