This BAPI reads the planning data from the external system and imports it into R/3 Enterprise, which then uses the data to create the markdown plans automatically. The system checks for authorization objects S_TCODE and W_MARKDOWN (for "adding or creating").

This BAPI generates a list of markdown plans matching your selection criteria. For each markdown plan, the list shows the name and number of the plan, the markdown type and rule used, and the starting date. You cannot make any changes to the list, but it does allow you to see what markdown plans are currently scheduled and decide which need additional processing. The system checks for authorization object S_TCODE.

This BAPI provides detailed data for a particular markdown plan, such as header and item data, price phases, and site and pricelist data. This is for display only. The system checks for authorization objects S_TCODE and W_MARKDOWN (for display).

This BAPI allows you to maintain data for an existing markdown plan at the header, item, site, and pricelist levels (rough-cut planning). You cannot maintain price phases with this function. Header data is always reimported into R/3 Enterprise in full. To keep the data volume small, however, other data is only reimported if it is different from what is currently in the database (that is, only changed data is transferred). The system checks for authorization objects S_TCODE and W_MARKDOWN (for "adding or creating" or "changing").
