Setting Up the Use of Special Prices in the Web Shop 

Use

You can maintain special prices for products in your Web shop catalog. The advantage to this is that you may wish to have two prices for a product; the normal sale price, and a special offer price. You want to promote this special price by showing customers the amount they can save in comparison to the special offer price. When this function is maintained the two prices for the product will be displayed alongside each other in the Web shop catalog, with the normal price striked-through. Although both prices are displayed in the catalog in the Web shop, only the special price will be sent by the system into the follow-on processes in the order and invoice. The normal price has no further relevance in the follow-on processes, the system simply disregards it.

The special price function replaces the previous two-type price determination functionality in the catalog in the Web shop. In Shop Management you can only select either IPC or List prices for use in the Web shop, and not List prices and IPC prices.

Other than this, there have been no changes made to the basic pricing functionality offered in the Web shop. The information contained in SAP Note 824085 is still valid.

 

Prerequisites

You have set up your Web shop to enable catalog price determination using either IPC price determination or list price determination. You make this setting on the Catalog tab page in your Shop Management application.

Procedure

Depending on whether you have chosen List Price or IPC price determination for your Web shop you need to carry out the following Customizing settings:

●      IPC Pricing

Assign a calculation formula to a pricing procedure.

In Customizing for Customer Relationship Management choose Basic Functions ® Pricing  ®  Create Pricing Procedures.

SAP delivers a standard calculation formula, 1001, and a standard pricing procedure, 15lSAP, for your use. Assign the calculation formula,1001, to an appropriate calculation level, in this pricing procedure.

This pricing procedure is assigned to the product catalog variant to determining pricing in the Web shop catalog. By assigning this calculation formula, the value will be displayed in the Web shop as a striked-through price.

 

·        List Pricing

Assign the attribute Special Price to a condition type you have already maintained for your product catalog variant.

You do this in product catalog variant maintenance. You can now assign maintain two condition type with the catalog price type List Price  for a catalog variant. One must, however, have the attribute Special Price assigned to it.
