Use
This business process enables you to plan markdowns for articles in the course of a season.
At the beginning of the season, you can plan markdowns for fashion merchandise to apply at particular intervals. It is of interest to know what quantities are sold at what price and when, and what the results of the markdown will be (for example reduced margin, achievable margin). The markdown planning functions enable you to simulate this data and subsequently activate it.
You can also carry out a target/actual comparison for past price phases, so that you can adjust new price phases accordingly if, for example, you notice considerable differences.
At the end of the process you have created a markdown plan and can then create pricing conditions.
Procedure
You can select parameters to extend the worklist.
You can define the initial stock and choose whether price points are to be adjusted.
You can change the final price for each article price phase.
