 Carrying Out a Net Price Simulation

The net price simulation enables you to compare prices and conditions as follows:

  • Prices of different vendors for a material and/or a material group

  • Prices of all materials supplied by a specific vendor

You can calculate the net prices of a material supplied by a number of different vendors based on any simulation quantity you care to specify.

Prerequisites

Each info record you wish to include in the simulation must contain pricing information.

Procedure

  1. Choose one of the following menu paths:

  2. – To compare the prices of a material supplied by different vendors, choose Start of the navigation path Master data Next navigation step Info record Next navigation step List displays Next navigation step By material Next navigation step . End of the navigation path

  6. Select the info records to be included in the price simulation.

  7. Start the price simulation by choosing Start of the navigation path Edit Next navigation step Price simulation Next navigation step . Then check the default values in the box that appears. End of the navigation path

  8. PressENTER .

The price simulation is displayed. The info record with the best price is marked in the resulting list with an arrow. If no price exists for an info record, a note is printed on the list.
