Features
You can calculate prices for retail and wholesale distribution chains, distribution centers, sites, site price lists and price lists for customers.
Different purchase and sales price determination sequences allow you to create flexible purchase price and sales price determination.
See also: Purchase Price Determination and Sales Price Determination.
You can use two-step price calculation to calculate both the distribution center’s transfer price for the store, and sales prices for the stores supplied by that distribution center at the same time. In this type of price calculation, the purchase price for the stores supplied is calculated on the basis of the distribution center’s transfer price.
See also: Two-Step Price Calculation for Stores.
You can use site groups to carry out standardized calculations for flexible groups of sites.
See also: Calculating Prices for Site Groups.
In the article master you can define whether the variants of a generic article are to inherit the sales price of the generic article or that of another variant. You cannot calculate separate sales prices for variants in the sales price calculation function.
See also: Price Calculations for Generic Articles and Variants.
Calculated sales prices are stored in the system as condition records when you save. You can create condition records as well as sales prices for various list fields in the sales price calculation screen (calculation table).
You can define list variants to structure the pricing table to suit your individual requirements.

To be able to create sales prices, a user must have appropriate authorization. The system distinguishes between authorization to carry out calculations and authorization to activate prices.
You can maintain the authorizations for carrying out calculations separately for the distribution chains, price lists and sites. You can also assign authorizations by merchandise category.
The Pricing function also guides you through the follow-on processes that result when parameters affecting pricing are changed. A pricing worklist is generated, flagging sales price condition records for subsequent processing.
For more information, see Pricing Worklist.
You can use the Pricing overview screen to display standard and promotion prices as well as additional information (supplementary conditions and parallel prices in euros, for example) on various articles and organizational levels at the same time.
For further information, see Pricing Overview Screen.
You can archive pricing documents and their associated sales price conditions.

You can use the market-basket price calculation function to calculate sales prices for a group of articles and sites, taking into account the total profitability of these articles in the plants selected. The market-basket price calculation function is thus an extension of the sales price calculation function.
For further information, see Market-Basket Pricing.
You can enter competitor prices in the system and use these for determining sales prices in the sales price calculation function.
For further information, see Competitor Prices.
