Get net price like simulating sales order

[SimoneMilesi]

Hi Gurus!

I need to get the net price for a bunch of material as I'm creating a sales order.

I tryed the BAPI_SALESORDER_SIMULATE but this is NOT an option because simulating sales order is too slow (a lot of custom control in User exit and so on..).

There is a way (BAPI / FM) to get only the net price for a material?

Thanks!

Simulation is the correct approach - if you have performance issues with user exits, I would address those. We simulate orders with hundreds of items referenced to contracts with very complex pricing and heavy user exit coding - it doesn't take long. Otherwise, how do you know which requirements/accesses/condition records are triggered for a given set of data (order type/account/material/etc.)? If you have very simple pricing, you might be able to hit a single condition table or a couple of condition tables directly, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Hi Brad,

The customer got an user exit with 30,000 row of code in which there are many customer function read and so on.

We got a bunch of custom conditions (about 15) and I would like to avoid to read too many tables with fix paramters.

Try function module 'PRICING'.

You can set a break point in here and take a look at the parameters when you use the sales order create transaction.

I would have to agree that the simulate call is indeed slow....after all, it's doing everything except the commit work (DB update)... and if you have configureable materials (variants)...that really seemed to add to the time for me. In my case, I had one situation where I used the simulate for pricing the material variants, and when it was not a configurable material, I worked out the logic for which condition tables to read, since that probably takes only a tiny fraction of the time that simulate would require.

Just a suggestion... I understand that, in some situations, obtaining the figuring out which table to read in which situations and getting 100% accurate results is a bit of a challenge.

Break point - would you be willing to share the logic you worked out for pricing simulation / condition tables?

Thanks in advance!

Try with transaction V_NL

Hi Simone,

Can you share the approach you used to get net price quickly?

Thanks

Hi Vishwas,

after 6 years is pretty hard to remember 😕

i'm sorry, i completly forgot the issue and how i solved it.

By the answer i gave, i think the requirement changed so i did not need to do it.
Sorry for not being helpfull
