Cause

Material XYZ is sourced from an External Supplier, The system was not able to derive a suitable Valuation Strategy to calculated the planned costs of this material.

According to help document Project Cost and Revenue Planning 5 Valuation Strategies are used in a priority sequence to determine the planned cost rate for a Material when sourced from an External Supplier:

  1. Price from latest purchase order with reference to the project: If a purchase order with reference to the project exists, the system uses the price from that purchase order. If there is more than one purchase order for the same material, the system uses the price from the latest purchase order.
  2. Price from latest purchase order without reference to the project: If no purchase order with reference to the project exists, the system uses the price from a purchase order that does not reference the project. If there is more than one purchase order for the same material, the system uses the price from the latest purchase order.
  3. Price from fixed source of supply
  4. Price from contract
  5. Price from price list

Resolution

This is expected system design.
