A standardized Business Application Programming Interface (BAPI) has been created for the SAP business object Sales Price Calculation. This interface allows you to access the business processes and data in the SAP System externally.

CalculatePrices |
Request and adjust calculations. |
The CalculatePrices BAPI facilitates communication between the sales price calculation function in the SAP System and one or more external systems. You can use this BAPI to perform the following functions from an external system:
Requesting calculations for an article means that the system displays all the relevant pricing data (such as markups, margins and sales prices).
If the requested calculations do not meet your expectations - if, for example, the sales price suggested by the system is too high or too low - you can change them. The changed data can then be returned to the central SAP System and posted to the database.
Users must have the necessary authorization to be able to change sales prices.
Any errors reported by the SAP System (such as database locks, missing authorizations, and so on) are reported to the processing agent by means of an error log sent to the store.
If you have an external system in your store that communicates with a central SAP System (such as SAP Retail Store, for example), employees with appropriate authorizations can display store-specific calculations for articles, simulate changes to them and, if necessary, post the changed store-specific sales prices to the database.
The CalculatePrices BAPI does not support the full functions of the scenarios possible for sales price calculation in the SAP System, as generally only certain functions of the sales price calculation function are required at the store. The following functions are not supported:
