Procedure for Sales Price Calculation
Use
This process describes how you can use the sales price calculation function to create sales prices for different articles and organizational levels. These are posted to the database as condition records when you save the sales price calculation.
Procedure
As a default, pricing is set up for all the combinations of organizational levels and articles determined on the basis of selection criteria. You can use the Business Add-In (BAdI) SPC_SEL_CHECK to restrict the defined structure of the pricing items. This BAdI is therefore used like a filter. You have two options: You can use method FILTER_ORGLEVELS to exclude certain organizational levels. This way, you can ensure price list calculations are only allowed for certain distribution chain – price list combinations in your company. In addition, you can exclude certain article – organizational level combinations, such as pricing for perishable articles in stores.
First, the system evaluates the purchase price determination sequence you have specified on the selection screen. If you defined supply source determination, the system searches for distribution centers and/or external vendors, taking the Source of supply key maintained in the article master record into account.
Then, if the vendor is external, the purchase price is calculated on the basis of a purchase price calculation schema. If the vendor is a distribution center, the system searches for the transfer price defined in the conditions.
If no transfer price exists for the distribution center and prices are not being calculated for this distribution center in this run, a price calculation for the distribution center is performed in the background. The resulting value is used as the delivered price.
First, the system analyzes the sales price determination sequence specified on the selection screen. The various sales factors required are calculated using a sales price calculation schema. The sales price (gross, net) is displayed in the pricing currency in the pricing table.

If the sales currency and the pricing currency differ, the sales price is converted into the sales currency. If price point rounding is defined, the (converted) sales price is rounded to a price point. This version of the sales price is displayed as the final price. In price point rounding, the new value is displayed and the sales factors, such as actual markup, are recalculated. The sales price calculated using the planned markup can be displayed as the planned final price.

The system calculates the margin (net, gross) from the sales price (net, gross) and the purchase price (net/net purchase price).

In two-step price calculation for wholesalers, the system also determines the retail price, the actual retail markup and the retail margin (see sample calculation schema WWS002).
The retail price can be automatically printed on delivery notes for articles shipped from the distribution center to the stores. The delivery notes detail the different articles in the shipment, quantity per article, the retail price for each, and totals. This way the store manager can see at a glance the total expected revenue for the shipment, broken down by article. It also helps the store personnel who must put individual price labels on the articles when stocking the shelves.
Once the data has been released, a new calculation is performed for each changed item. This calculation is dependent on the field that was changed.
