Sales prices can be calculated for several articles and organizational levels in a single operation.

You can calculate prices for retail and wholesale distribution chains, distribution centers, sites, site price lists and price lists for customers.

Flexible design of purchase and sales price determination

Different purchase and sales price determination sequences allow you to create flexible purchase price and sales price determination.

For more information, see Purchase Price Determination andSales Price Determination.

Two-step price calculation

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.

For more information, see Two-Step Price Calculation for Stores.

Calculating sales prices for site groups

You can use site groups to carry out standardized calculations for flexible groups of sites.

For more information, see Calculating Prices for Site Groups.

Referencing sales prices for the variants of a generic article
