The Purchasing Price Variance or PPV is a warning flag that says that the gross margin
will have variance, taking care about the situation, on a nimble way, enable the
organization to keep margins going forward.

Our scenario is built it to buy 1,000 LB of raw material, where:


• Standard Cost is 10 USD per LB
• Order Price is 11 USD per LB
• Actual Price is 12 USD per LB

Standard Price
First of all, we have our raw material master data created:

Purchase Order Price


Then, we create an order; price is above our estimated standard price:
PPV at Goods Receipt
Now, lets assume that we had received the material before the invoice, so a difference
is calculated:

PPV during GR = Standard Price – PO Price

The journal entry for this GR is:

Inventory Account DR 10,000 USD Standard Price


GR/IR Account CR 11,000 USD PO Price
PPV Account DR 1,000 USD Balance

PPV at Invoice Receipt


Now, when invoice is received, we realize that market change and now, the actual
price is different than the PO price

PPV during IR = PO Price – IR Price

Journal entry is:


Vendor CR 12,000 USD Actual Price
GR/IR Account DR 11,000 USD PO Price
PPV Account DR 1,000 USD Balance

This means that the net PPV is:

Net PPV = Standard Price – IR Price = 10 – 12 = -2 USD per LB

This is an unfavorable Purchasing Price Variance.

Net PPV
Now, on SAP there is a report that can be customized (configured) to get this Net PPV,
this is:
You can use transaction MC$G, to get the report with data related to PPV. This is
infostructucture S012 that can be enhanced to take advantage of Logistics
Information System features, or a simple query using structure S012 can be created.
