Purchasing info records (PIRs) in SAP provide purchasing prices and conditions that can be used to value externally procured materials during product costing.
In SAP S/4HANA, costing variants and valuation variants determine how material prices are selected when calculating standard cost estimates. By configuring the valuation strategy to use purchasing info records, organizations can incorporate supplier prices and relevant purchasing conditions into material cost estimates.
This approach helps teams explain purchased material costs by separating relevant supplier price conditions, freight, and intercompany markups into appropriate cost components.
In this article, we explain how to configure SAP costing variants and valuation variants to use purchasing info record prices, assign purchasing conditions to cost components, and verify the results in a material cost estimate.
