Maintain Pricing Type

In this step, you create pricing types.

The pricing type contains several parameters for controlling sales price calculations. It determines:

• which sales price calculation schema is used in sales price calculation

• whether a pricing document is created when a calculation is saved and whether document indexes for the pricing worklist are saved at the same time

• how sales prices are affected by changes in the basic purchase price

• which currency the system uses to calculate prices

• which exchange rate is used for currency conversions.
  

Requirements

You must have authorization to use the sales price calculation function.

Standard Settings

The following settings are included in the standard system:

Pr. type SP schema Doc.creat. Pric.DocTy Data held PCrcy ERtype
0001 WWS001 1 0001 3 DEM M
0002 WWS002 1 0001 3 DEM M

Pricing type 0001 is used when, in the step Assign Pricing Type to Organizational Level, no pricing type has been assigned to a distribution chain.

Recommendation

Do not create too many pricing types. Instead, assign one pricing type to various combinations of distribution chain and price list (with currencies) as described in the step "Assign Pricing Type to Organizational Level".

Activities

Create one or more pricing types.
