I am trying to implement advanced pricing in procurement to give the ability to add a percentage to an individual order line in P4310 on an ad hoc basis
e.g. enter QTY = 1, Unit Cost = 100 and a discount factor of 0.9, the unit cost should adjust to 90. Effectively the system calculates the discount. This gives the ability to perform analysis on discounts received.
So far I have managed to set up the following :-
*Branch/Plant Pricing Constants (P41001)– set the Advanced Procurement Pricing flag to 1
*Preference Hierarchy (P40073)– set to 1 for all customers and all items
*Price Adjustment Definitions (P4071) – defined a price adjustment
set Target Application to 1 for Procurement,
Preference Type = 14 (Price Adjustment Schedule),
Line Type = B (the line type that the items in the item master have been set up with)
Manual Add/Change flag set to Y
Amount Level Break and Line Level Adjustment switched on
*Price Adjustment Schedule (P4070) – added a Price Adjustment Schedule which pulls in the information from the price adjustment
*Price Adjustment Detail Revisions (P4072) – set the following details
From level –999999999.0
Factor Value Numeric - -10.0
BC – 1
Basis Code - % of Base Price
Cur Cod – GBP
Cost Method – 08
Cost Centre – 17140
*In the P4310 I selected the Adjustment Schedule in the order header additional information screen
*Using the above settings the result I got was that the Unit Cost pulled into the Order Entry screen (P4310) from the Item Master was adjusted by 10% and hence the extended cost showed a discount of 10%.
*The problem with this result is that if you manually change the unit cost the discount no longer applies. This is a major problem as we are not setting exact prices against items as they are constantly changing, we enter the correct unit cost at the time of order entry.
*As this was not the result I had hoped for I then tried using a formula
*In the P4072, using the Row Exit to Formulas to take me into the P4076 I set up a calculation formula - ?PDDSPR*?PDAEXP. The idea behind this being that the user could enter a value into the Discount Factor field on the order line, this would be applied to the extended cost giving a resulting cost that shows the discount.
*To try and implement the formula I have been back into the P4072 and set up the following:
From level –99999999.0
BC – 7
Basis Code – Add on Formula Amount
Formula Name – entered name of formula set up
*When I try and apply this to the order nothing happens.
There seems to be a link missing, in that I can’t find anywhere to set which field I want to apply the formula to so the calculation
e.g. enter QTY = 1, Unit Cost = 100 and a discount factor of 0.9, the unit cost should adjust to 90. Effectively the system calculates the discount. This gives the ability to perform analysis on discounts received.
