Commodity Pricing 

Purpose

You can use this component if you agree on complex pricing rules rather than fixed prices as part of your sales negotiations and these rules influence the product price as part of the system-aided sales process.

Implementation Considerations

Complex pricing rules play an important role when, for example, you sell commodities (raw materials traded on the stock market).

To perform commodity pricing, you need to connect a CRM system to your system landscape.

Integration

The function requires a functioning Sales and Distribution (SD) component with pricing activated. The SD component must be connected to a CRM Sales component in the CRM system.

Features

For more information, see Integration of Commodity Pricing in SD Sales Documents and Price Quotation.

Constraints

This component does not support the following document types in the ERP system:

·        Request for quotation

·        Quotation

·        Sales contract

Corresponding document types are available in the CRM system.

This component does not support sales orders that you create in the ERP system with transactions or BAPIs. You must create sales orders in the CRM system; these are then automatically replicated in the ERP system.
