Defining Cluster Differences (SAP Library - SSR

Defining Cluster Differences

Use

Within a location price cluster you can define:

Differences between each location
Differences between the prices of the different materials sold at each location

These differences are used as offsets during price maintenance, so that when you copy a price to a cluster, the differences are automatically applied to the proposals for new prices. For more information, see Two-Dimensional Price Maintenance.

Prerequisites

A location price cluster must already exist:

You create location price clusters in Customizing for the Industry Solution Oil & Gas (Downstream) by choosing SSR ® Fuels Processing ® Pricing ® Define differences group ® Define differences group: location price cluster.

You add business locations to a location price cluster in the business location master record at business type level.

Procedure

Choose Logistics ® Sales and Distribution ® Service Station Retailing ® Pricing ® Master data ® Cluster differences.

The Location cluster differences: Change screen appears.

Enter or select a cluster and business type and choose Enter.

The locations belonging to the cluster are displayed on the Location screen. If any differences have been defined, these are displayed in he Rate column.

To define a price difference in relation to the prices for those locations without a difference value, enter a positive or negative value in the Rate column. The Two-Dimensional Price Maintenance Tool uses this difference when it calculates a new price proposal.

To define price differences between the materials sold at a particular location, select a location by marking a row of the table and choose Material.

The Location cluster differences (material) screen appears.
