Price Control
Use
SSR allows you to:
- Use market price watch as the basis for calculations of target prices for materials sold at the locations within your network
- Display and maintain target prices at the location level for defined groups of materials and material /service type combinations
- Simulate margins to check the profitability of new price proposals
- Change target prices across the whole network or for selected locations
- Track price changes
- Send new prices only when there has been a price change, or according to other selection criteria
Integration
Standard SD price conditions are used to store location prices conditions. For more information about SD price conditions, see
Pricing and Conditions.
The "actual" prices used in the actual price versus target price check are derived from the meter reading history tables.
Prerequisites
The pricing process must be defined using the process control tool. For more information, see
Process Control.
Interfaces for the reception and transmission of pricing data must exist. For more information, see
Interfaces to External Systems.
In the master record for each business location, you must have assigned a:
- Location margin procedure at the general (location type) level
Material Handling Group at the business type level
