All the materials for 11 European countries are managed in one SAP R/3 system. The customer requested that the moving average price (MAP) used here be changed to a standard price (STAP). This is based on a central specification of the standard price.
Supplement
The SAP system runs on mySAP ERP 2005, with various company codes and charts of accounts. In order to carry out the conversion, various automatic interfaces and varying posting logic must be taken into account.
Subject description
The changeover from MAP to STAP requires all the legal requirements in all the participating countries to be considered. Furthermore, in the case of consumption postings, the costs of goods must be taken into account during the course of the year at the end of each month, as a proportion of the total. As each country has its own chart of accounts, different posting rules must be set. These rules are to be coordinated with all the countries involved.
