Trade Pricing (SAP Library

Trade Pricing

Use

In trading contracts, you use this function to maintain both purchase and sales prices efficiently. You can enter the purchase and sales price per unit directly in the item if the price per unit is already known when you create the trading contract. If the sales price is not known, it is possible to simulate the sales price using the purchase price. The Retail Pricing component is used for calculating and determining sales prices.

Prerequisites

The Customizing settings for the trading contract type must be maintained.

A calculation schema (sometimes referred to as a pricing procedure) must exist for price determination in Retail Pricing and this must be entered in calculation schema determination in Customizing for Trading Contract.

Features

Purchase and sales price determination sequences for Retail Pricing can be defined in the Customizing settings for purchasing group and sales group. You can therefore use your own calculation schema if those specified in the SAP standard system do not meet your business requirements.

In the purchasing group, you can define whether the info record is read or not. This is useful if you procure the goods from a vendor from which you have ordered the same goods before. When the info record is updated, the purchase price is copied from the info record as a default value when you specify plant, vendor and material. (Customizing settings have to be properly maintained for this to be possible).
