Features

This business function enables the transfer of complex pricing arrangement data from SAP PPS procurement documents to replicated procurement documents in SAP ERP. In SAP PPS, you can assign pricing arrangements to line items in a procurement document. Each pricing component belonging to a line item can be assigned separate accounting information. It is also possible to post follow-on documents separately for each pricing component.

You can apply the following attributes to a pricing arrangement:

A ceiling amount, or hard limit, on the total amount
A maximum fee that the supplier can earn
A minimum fee that the supplier can make
How the supplier's target fee is reduced for exceeding the cost estimate
How the supplier's target fee is increased when costs are less than estimated

You can use pricing arrangements in the following SAP PPS purchasing documents:
