• Message text: Pools at company code level: minimum from plant prices set

What causes this issue?

You are carrying out a lowest value comparison for pools that are
valuated at company code level. You specified that the weighted mean of
the material prices belonging to a particular category (for example,
tax-based price 1) always results in the corresponding pool price. On
the other hand, the lowest price should be calculated as the minimum of
the material prices. This is not a sound parameter combination.

System Response

The system automatically sets the indicator which determines that the
lowest price is obtained from the minimum of the plant prices.

How to fix this error?

If you want the system to calculate the lowest price as the minimum of
the material prices, you have to select a different option in the
'Pools' column.

How can this happen?

Plant 1 Plant 2
Qty Price 1 Price 2 Qty Price 1 Price 2
Material 1 0 pcs 19 20 100 pcs 23 24
Material 2 40 pcs 21 23 20 pcs 19 17
Material 3 70 pcs 22 20 0 pcs 25 24
If you choose the option 'Material prices based on pool' in the 'Pools'
column, the following result is obtained:
Plant 1 Plant 2
Pool 110 pcs 21.64 21.09 120 pcs 22.33 22.83
The system cannot calculate the minimum of the material prices from
this result.
