Processing the Pricing Worklist - Procedures 

Purpose

This business process shows you how to create and process a worklist comprising all those price calculations affected by changes to parameters relevant to pricing.

Parameters such as the basic purchase price or vendor discounts, which form the basis for the calculation of sales prices (that is: retail prices or DC transfer prices), can change during the validity period of a sales price. To be able to update sales prices to reflect these changes, you must be able to find all the relevant price calculations.

This function enables you to compile a pricing worklist, which is a list of all price calculations that have been stored in the form of pricing documents and that are affected by the parameter changes, taking the validity period of each price calculation into account.

Prerequisites

You can only use the pricing worklist function if a pricing document with a document index is created when you save a sales price.

Process flow

  1. You create a buffer using data from the changed parameters (known simply as a "worklist") which forms the basis for generating the pricing worklist.
  2. You generate the pricing worklist from the worklist of price calculations you wish to update.
  3. You process the pricing worklist for specific articles and organizational units.
  4. The new prices that are calculated are stored, as before, in pricing documents. You can change the results by fixing certain parameters, such as the article markup rate, the margin, the sales price or the final price.
  5. End processing by saving new sales prices that you are happy with or by deleting any price calculations that you do not want.
