Creating Market-Basket Price Calculations

Procedure

Choose Master data Pricing Market-basket price calculation Create .
The screen for market-basket price calculations is displayed .
Enter the required data on the selection screen.

The selection screen has four main areas in which data can be entered:

Control parameters for market-basket price calculations

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.

Selection options on articles and sites

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.

Level on which prices are activated

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.

Information on reference 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:

You can enter a reference site for the sales price calculation. This site is valid for all other sites selected.
You can make a default assignment when selecting distribution chains and site groups. The reference site in each case is used as the reference site for calculating the sales price.
You can adopt the reference site assignments from the reference market-basket price calculation.
You can set the "Call up view for reference site assignment before start" indicator. This calls up the screen for assigning referencing sites before the program is run.

Caution Caution

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:

End of the caution.

If you activate prices at price list level, it does not make any sense to assign any reference sites.
If you activate prices at distribution chain level, it does not make any sense to assign any further sites.
Neither does it make sense to enter a specific reference site while at the same time setting the indicator for assigning the default reference site.

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

Choose Execute .

Note Note

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.

End of the note.
