A market-basket pricing type must be entered with which you want to create a market-basket calculation. The pricing type defined in Customizing contains all the key control parameters required for the market-basket price calculation. These include the number ranges and the purchase price and sales price determination sequence.

The validity period entered is used for the sales price calculation and therefore also for the conditions records to be created for the sales prices.

You can also enter the number of the market-basket calculation and the short text subsequently on the basic list.

In addition to the selection criteria that are also used in sales price calculations, you can also enter a reference market-basket price calculation from which the system uses the articles and sites.

If you activate prices on the price list or distribution chain level, this usually leads to a significant improvement in the performance of the programs for calculating sales prices and creating condition records. You should therefore check if you can activate prices on one of these two levels when you create a market-basket price calculation for a large number of articles and sites.

You can use reference sites to improve the performance of market-basket price calculations or to make sure that the sites contained in a market-basket price calculation are all treated in exactly the same way. You can enter separate reference sites for sales price calculations and for determining the anticipated sales quantities. You have the following options:

The individual elements in the selection screen enable a large number of possible combinations. You should, however, be aware that some combinations are not allowed. For example:

If you choose a combination that is not allowed, an error message is displayed.

If you set the indicator that calls up the screen for assigning referencing sites before the program is run, a dialog box is displayed in which you can enter reference site assignments.
