 Processing the Sales Price Basis

Use

The sales price basis view shows the planned costs from the service order or project as summarized using the Dynamic Item Processor (DI processor). The summarized planned costs, called "dynamic items", make up the items in the sales price basis.

In this view, you determine whether the system should copy all, some, or none of the planned costs into quotation creation or sales pricing.

The sales price basis screen is comprised of an overview tree and a table:

  • The overview tree shows the hierarchy of dynamic items per the selected characteristics from the DIP profile.

  • The table shows the hierarchy node selected in the overview tree and the objects subordinate to it (the dynamic items).

You can process the items for quotation creation or sales pricing in the sales price view and switch back and forth between the sales price view and the sales price basis at any time.

Procedure

The following tables contain information on the processing options:

  • In the overview tree

  • In the table

  • Using the menu bar
