Function documentationEnhanced Price and Cost Calculation

 

The functions included in enhanced price and cost calculation enhance the basic price and cost calculation functions in the Recycling Administration (REA) component, which are used by the system in the following areas:

  • Price calculation for individual master data objects (Price Calculation tab in the applications for editing master data) and for several master data objects (pricing analysis via information systems)

  • Price calculation when condition records are created for Sales and Distribution (SD) or Materials Management (MM)

  • Cost calculation when declarations are created per recycling partner (declaration system) or in standardized cost analysis (information system)

Prerequisites

You have activated the functions for enhanced price and cost calculation in Customizing for Recycling Administration under Start of the navigation path General Control Next navigation step Define General Control End of the navigation path using the Enh. Price/Cost Calc. indicator.

Features

The following additional functions are available:

  • You have the option of using the Business Add-In /J7L/REA_PRICING to adapt the algorithms used by the system to calculate prices and costs to meet your requirements. If you do not make any process-specific adaptations using a BAdI implementation, the system uses the fallback class /J7L/CL_PACK_DEFAULT_PRICING and the implementations delivered in addition to this Business Add-In.

    For more information, see Customizing for Recycling Administration under Start of the navigation path Adjustment Next navigation step Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) Next navigation step BAdI: Adapt Price and Cost Calculation End of the navigation path.

  • You can also run a price calculation for individual master data objects (Price Calculation tab) even if you have not saved this master data.

  • When running a price calculation for master data objects, you can display a log of the calculation steps and any errors in the calculation.

    • To view the logs for price calculation, the new pushbutton Log is available in the applications for processing master data for articles and packaging on the Price Calculation tab in the Price List Analysis overview. In the detailed view of the price list analysis for item-dependent fees or weight-dependent fees, you can display or hide a detailed log using the additional pushbutton Show or Hide.

    • In the information systems for the price analysis of articles or packaging, the additional Status column now appears in the results table. If an error occurs, you can use the icon in this column to open the relevant log.

  • You can speed up the processing of master data in cost calculations in the declaration system and price calculations in the information systems by specifying that the system should buffer master data. For more information, see Customizing for Recycling Administration under Start of the navigation path General Control Next navigation step Define General Control End of the navigation path in the section relating to the Master Data Buffer indicator.

  • You can accelerate the price calculation for master data by buffering data on the application server. For more information, see Customizing for Recycling Administration under Start of the navigation path General Control Next navigation step Define General Control End of the navigation path in the section relating to the Buffer App.Server indicator.
