Billing based on actual quality

[Former Member]

Dear Gurus,

In our client company, they deal in different ore. If i want to ask a question only on sales side, then if their customer wants an ore with some qualities as captured in the variant configurator, like:

Character 1 = 65%

Character 2 = 2%

Character 3 = 12%

The price for this combination is (say) 100$/ton

But since this is ore, chances are that always that is not what comes out of the mine. So when it comes to doing delivey the quality changes to something like:

Character 1 = 62%

Character 2 = 1.67%

Character 3 = 14%

The price for this combination could be (say) 92$/ton

This information is only known at the time of delivery and this information has to be captured only at the delivery level and cannot be captured back in sales order, since for each sales order, there can be multiple deliveries, each delivery with different quality. But as per rule, customer has to be billed as per the Quality he receives. That is:

Sales Order SO1234 - Quantity 100 tons - Quality Combo1

Delivery DEL567 - Quantity 15 tons - Quality Combo2

Delivery DEL568 - Quantity 20 tons - Quality Combo3

Delivery DEL569 - Quantity 18 tons - Quality Combo4 and so on . . . .

One small deviation is sometimes when the Quality analysis is not received on time, billing has to done on the quality as available in the sales order and the difference, if any, will be adjusted through Credit / Debit notes.

If someone can throw some light on this and give me a dynamic solution possibilities, that would be just great. Would appreciate all you help.

Best regards

Dear Yajee,

Please correct me if i am wrong.

1)The variant configuration has been done.

2) The pricing is based on variants (characteristics).

3) In delivery, the characteristics may differ from the orginal sales order.

Now , system should pick the price based on the characteristic values in delivery.

This requirement can be handled by using a Alternative condition base value in pricing assigned against the condition type for pricing.

The logic for the same will be

During VF01, system should fetch the record of the characteristics used for delivery and use the same values to

fetch the pricing records updated in the price tables.

Try this out with the help of ABAPer and revert back.

Thanks & Regards,

The Variant Configurator screen in Delivery Item level is in Greyed out mode and not allowing to input any configurator values. I want to input some values here so we can do repricing based on these values. My ABAPer is not getting any ideas to how to do it. Can someone help me here?

Regards
