By default, inflation adjustments or escalation for purchased part material costs are calculated from the pricing date of the source document (contract, agreement or supplier quotation price valid until, or purchase order goods receipt date) until the anticipated receipt date of the purchase order which will get placed, calculated using lead-time offset distribution. You can, optionally, escalate purchased material costs until the anticipated purchase order placement date instead of the receipt date. To do this:

• For a supplier quotation, purchasing contract or long term agreement check the box "escalate based on anticipated PO placement" in the purchasing source document items or materials list. This check can be interfaced from SAP or other quotation/procurement systems by your implementation consultant.
• For a purchase order check the box "Escalate based on PO placement" in the costing run profile when you run Cost Consolidated BOM
