Pricing
In conjunction with the Material transfer, the AFS to SAP Retail interface sends calculated prices from the AFS system to the Retail system. Prices are sent under the form of Purchasing Info Records and Purchasing Conditions.
The AFS Sales Condition Types are mapped to the Retail Purchasing Condition Types. The AFS Sales Condition Record values (prices and discounts) are created, in the SAP Retail system, as Purchasing Info Record Conditions for that specific AFS Supplier.
The net price given in a
Purchase Order is taken either from a vendor contract, or from the Purchasing Info Record, or entered manually. The goal of this phase is to create an Info Record for the Article to be purchased, providing all possible information: pricing scales, discounts, freights and their validity periods, therefore the purchase price is as close as possible to the AFS sales price.In order to synchronize the changes of the Sales price in AFS with the Purchase price in Retail, Change Pointers can be activated on the Sales views of the Material, the Customer, and the Conditions. When the relevant fields are modified (price indicator in the Material Sales view, pricing procedure in the Customer Sales view, or field in the Sales Conditions), an Info Record Master IDoc and/or Condition Master IDocs are created containing the changes and are sent to update the Purchasing data in the Retail system.
Logical Flow Determining Sent Prices
Œ
Mapping is done between Sales and Purchasing Condition types.
Sales Conditions for the Material and its Variants are determined.Ž
Sales Conditions are then converted to Purchasing Conditions generating Purchasing Info Records and Condition Records.
Corresponding IDocs are generated.
Resulting IDocs are sent to SAP Retail via ALE services.
