Integration of Commodity Pricing in SD Pricing 

Use

You use this function if you want to extend Sales and Distribution (SD) pricing to use complex pricing rules in sales documents. Pricing for commodities is based on agreed complex rules rather than fixed prices or amounts in the commodity pricing engine (CPE). These complex rules determine how price quotations and exchange rates are used to calculate the price of the sales document.

Integration

Condition types integrate SD pricing with commodity pricing. Commodity pricing takes place for condition types with calculation type Q. Each condition type can have a maximum of one CPE formula. No condition determination takes place for these condition types; the CPE formulas are copied from the corresponding price-relevant preceding documents and can be processed in the current document.

Prerequisites

·        You have made the necessary settings for SD pricing.

·        You have created condition types with calculation type Q and included these condition types in your pricing procedure.

·        You have made the necessary settings in SAP Solution Manager.

·        You use a sales process that begins in SAP CRM.

Features

The CPE determines condition rates and condition values, and makes these results available in SD pricing.

SD Pricing: Fetch Results of CPE Formula Evaluation

The CPE evaluates the CPE-relevant condition types FA00 and FA0R. The prices and values that the CPE determines are transferred to SD pricing.

 

Activities

During SD pricing at item level, the system performs the following steps:

...

       1.      Before the valuation of each condition type, commodity pricing takes place for all formulas in this item. Commodity pricing results in condition rates and values for the corresponding formulas.

       2.      During the valuation of each condition type, if a condition type has calculation type Q, these condition rates and values are selected.

Example

Overview of SD Pricing and CPE Formulas

 

At item level, the system performs the following steps during SD pricing:

...

       1.      The pricing procedure contains a list of condition types, including several with calculation type Q.

       2.      The system evaluates the CPE formulas for all condition types with calculation type Q.

       3.      SD pricing determines the values of all condition types; during this process, the values for calculation type Q are transferred from the CPE.
