Calculating Sales Prices

Use

With the sales price calculation function you can create or change sales prices for several articles and organizational levels simultaneously in one operation.

Procedure

In the selection screen of the sales price calculation function, enter the articles and the organizational levels (distribution chains, sites, and so on) for which you want to calculate prices. Narrow down your article selection as required.

Enter the validity period for the sales prices.

The start of the validity period is used as the pricing date for determining prices in purchase and sales price determination and in determining the current final price.

Select a purchase price determination sequence and a sales price determination sequence.

Select a list group and a list variant.

For further information, see List Group and List Variants.

You can use the indicator Pricing levels without general sales price only indicator in the Create Calculation dialog to restrict your selection of articles and organizational levels so that only those combinations for which no sales price exists in the system on the pricing date and at the level selected or higher are included in the price calculation.

You can use the indicator Pricing levels with specific sales prices only indicator in the Change Calculation dialog to restrict your selection of articles and organizational levels so that only those combinations for which a sales price exists in the system on the pricing date and at the level selected are included in the price calculation.

Confirm your entries.

The results of the calculations are displayed in the pricing table. The pricing table is a list that is structured according to the list group and list variant selected.

Any pricing items for which the system was unable to calculate sales prices (perhaps because the required master data was not maintained) are written to an error log. This log also contains pricing items for which prices could be calculated but for which warning messages were generated nonetheless (for articles with a suggested retail price, for example).

If required, change the suggested values for the calculation in the fields of the pricing table that are ready for input.

If more than one vendor exists for an article, you can change the vendor.

You can use the input help on the vendor list field to display the vendors permitted by the Source of supply indicator in the article master. To do this, position the cursor on the vendor list field and press F4.

You can calculate a price for any unit of measure, not just for the sales unit that is proposed by the system. You must have already maintained your chosen unit of measure as an alternative unit of measure in the article master, however. You can use the Sales unit not variable indicator in the sales view of the article master to prevent different sales units being used.
The parameters that you can change manually include the actual markup, the margin, the sales price and the final price.

In certain circumstances (if the sales unit and purchase order price unit differ, for example), the basic purchase price field in the pricing table is not ready for input. If this is the case, you can make the changes in the purchasing details screen instead.

If you change the price determination date, please note that this may change parameters (such as vendor, purchasing organization and conditions) that affect the price calculation.

If you change the date, you can have the system perform a whole new price calculation (on the basis of the parameters that are valid on this new date).
Alternatively, you can adopt the current Vendor and Purchasing organization parameters and the current sales prices. The actual markup or margin is then brought into line with the basic purchase price, if this has changed.
You can also change other pricing parameters (such as vendor, basic purchase price and margin) at the same time as you change the date; these parameters will then be taken into account in the new price calculation.

Once you have pressed Enter, a new calculation is performed for each changed item, taking the changed field into account. Items for which warnings exist are highlighted in yellow and logged with an appropriate message. Items for which no further calculation could be performed after the date was changed disappear from the pricing table when you press Enter.
