Create quotation types and order types.

Choose  Transactions Basic Settings Define Transaction Types .

To distinguish from existing quotation processes, use a new quotation type. The quotation is created when the auction is published in order to reserve inventory for the auction because offering an item for auction is a legal agreement to provide the item to the winner.

Please note that the item categories linked to the quotation are used to reserve inventory. In normal quotation processing outside auctions, this is generally not the case. The reservation is transferred to the order when the order is created for a winning auction, with reference to the quotation.

SVE Only

SVE and B2C Checkout

For Selling via eBay with B2C checkout the delivered condition type for prices is 0PR0.

To supply 0 prices for the second and the following positions, if an auction contains more than one product, a percentage discount condition is necessary, because 0 prices are not accepted by the order. Therefore, the 0 prices are to be created via a 100 percent discount.

The delivered condition type for percentage discount is 0RA1

AVW Only

Create a condition type for the auction winning price.

The delivered condition type is 0PR0. To support cross-selling and up-selling, the standard price condition is used, for example, so that B2B users can add products to their shopping basket.

Create pricing procedures.

Choose  Basic Functions Pricing Define Settings for Pricing Create Pricing Procedure .

Create a new pricing procedure. This is necessary because the pricing procedure must contain the manual condition type that captures the winning bid. Set up the pricing procedure so that the manual condition type overrides normal price determination. In this way, if a product is won through an auction, the winning bid is the price. If the same product is purchased through the product catalog, normal price determination takes place.
