copy pricing schema

[Former Member]

Hi Expert,

I have an issue where there are 2 companies are sharing the same pricing schema. Previously all the prices and calculation are same and so they have no problem to use the same schema. But now, one of them (eg : company A) would like to have a different calculation for eg currently calculation is like "010305-02", now A wants to change it to "01+03-02". The rest like table,access sequence and so on are all still same. It is just that calculation different.Do we have to create new separate pricing schema for company A? If yes,what are the steps?

Thanks,

Hi Prabaharan,

I will go for the 2nd option as we need to use the new calculation for existing plants. When you say it will not affect any transaction done, does it means that it will not give impact to open orders as well? But what about orders not yet posted with invoice? I think there will be conflict when posting invoice right? And another thing is maybe it will impact my vendor master and infor record. We may need to delete the vendor master and info record which has been created under old purcahsing org and create new under new purch org. am i right?

Thanks,

Hi,

You go for 1st option untill you complete your open orders.

Once you complete all your open orders, then you can go for 2nd option.

Because, if any open orders is there then you can't delete Vendor.

Yes Prabhaharan, i think i should create a new pricing procedure, some more the purchasing org is not assigned at company code level but plant level. There are so many plants from company A and B assigned to the same purchasing org. In this case, does it means that i have to create new purchasing org and reassign the affected plants to the new purchasing org? If yes, then is there any impact somewhere in transaction or master data?

Thanks

Yes, you have to assign the new Pur Org to the required Plant.

there are two options:

1) you need not to change any existing assignment.

but in future, you use the new Pur Org only for the required Plants.

2) you can delete the existing Pur Org assignment for the plants & you assign the new Pur Org.

It will not affect any already done transactions.

Hi,

I think you have to create a new pricing procedure. becuase what ashish said is correct, but it will not give two different values ie: for company A one value and for company B other value from a same pricing procedure.

if you use a same pricing procedure, that will not identify your company A & company B, it will show only one result what you defined in your pricing procedure.

So, you just copy your pricing procedure and change the formula, then create new Pur Org if vendor is same. Then create Pur Scema grp & assign to the Pur Org.

hi..

yes...u should create different pricing schema for different company...

but if u want to use same pricing procedure..than u can apply the following concept..

u can add some addtiional condition type in your original procedure...and use these additional cond type only for 2nd company code..

open ur pricing proc..and in front of ur additional conditional type..there will be one field..called "Condition formula for alternative calculation type" and "Alternative formula for condition base value"..

u can define your calculation routine here..and can use for 2nd company....

Hope it helps you..

thanks.

Hi

At anytime you can change or add a new a condition type in your pricing procedure based on the business, so you dont want to create a new pricing procedure ,just change the caondition type or remove from the existing one.

Thanks
