Define Formulas
For Pricing
Formulas are represented as FORM routines. They
are used in pricing and influence the determination of prices according to
predefined rules. You can specify them in pricing control. The following
groups of formulas exist:
The scale base value
includes FORM routines which determine the scale base value according to
criteria that are not defined in the standard system. You enter the scale base
value in the Scale formula field. A formula for the
scale base value can define, for example, that partial quantities are taken
into account.
Formulas for the
condition base value take into account criteria not defined in the standard
system. You enter them in the Alternative formula for condition
base value field in the
pricing procedure . A formula for the condition base value can
define, for example, that the condition determination is based on net value or
volume.
Formulas for
determining of the condition value include routines which determine the
condition value according to criteria not defined in the standard system. You
enter the formulas for the determination of the condition value in the
Condition formula for alternative calculation type
field in the pricing procedure. A formula for the condition value can define,
for example, that the system determines the best price for the
customer.
Using this menu
entry, you can edit routines that determine the base value for the scale value
if group conditions are used in pricing. The system then calculates the base
for the scale value from more than one document item. You can enter the
routines in the Group condition routine field on the
screen for defining condition types. A routine for the determination of the
scale valuecan define, for example, that only a particular condition type is
taken into acount.
Using this entry,
you can create and edit FORM routines that carry out a particular type of
rounding in the condition record during a price change. A rounding rule could
round a price that was increased by 1% to the last two places behind the
decimal point, for example.
Procedure
To define your own formulas, proceed as
follows:
1. First check
whether you can use the formulas delivered with the standard
system.
2. Either
overwrite an existing formula or select a group number from the number range
reserved for customer modifications (600-699) and enter the corresponding
description.
3. Program the
formula in the editor.
4. Activate the
formula.
5. Enter a long
text that describes the meaning of the formula in more detail.
6. Enter an
application if you want to use the formula in a particular application area
only (pricing, for example).
7. Enter the
formula in the appropriate place of the control data in pricing.
