Category Contract and Pricing

Hello,
I am in the development phase on a SRM project using SRM 5.0 EXC Self Service. I am struggeling with contracts and pricing.
We have set up a contract with a discount of 20% on the product group (as we do not use products, only descriptions) "office supplies".
When I create a shopping cart for an item I enter description, quantity, price and category. When I press add to shopping cart, my price disappears. When I go to source of supply, I can see my contract, but it also say price is 0 here.
I expected that when I entered my price, it would deduct 20% of it and not set it to zero.
Can someone please enlighten me about this?

Hello Atul,
Thank you for your reply.
I am a bit new to contracts, but what I want to set up is that I want ie. 20% off on all products belonging to product catetegory 002. Due to that, I enter an item in my contract with item category "product category", target value and discount.
As this is valid for a product category, I cannot enter a base price in the contract?

Value contract and pricing procedure.

HI All,
I am working on value contracts. I have configured value contract and other related things. But I have some querries:-
1) Can I use standard order as release order for value contract?
2) Do I need to create a different pricing procedure for value contract? If Yes wont it conflict with the pricing procedure determined in the relaese orders?
Kindly guide.
Regards,
Danny.

1)Can I use standard order as release order for value contract?
Ans: If you use the standard order as the release order document type, how would your restrict a particular customer for the orders (release)
For example: you have something as FOC value Contract.
Now when you can create a standard order same as the release order , how will you restrict the users from creation of orders for a particular customer.
2) Do I need to create a different pricing procedure for value contract? If Yes wont it conflict with the pricing procedure determined in the relaese orders?
Ans: To explain the q1 better , take the example of FOC value Contract( Free of costs)
Say : you business offers free products to customers.
Now the release order will can have a different pricing procedure than the Standard.
The difference would only be a R100 condition type which will make the price as Zero but the taxes will be applicable.
This explains why you should have a different order type for release orders.

Contract and pricing opportunity

My friend has one year left on her current contract before she gets the opportunity for a inexpensive phone upgrade. She wants an Iphone 4 or 4s badly, but she does not want to pay full retail price. Can she instead extend her contract two more years, add the data package, and get the Iphone for a reduced cost? What kind of costs reductions would this engender? What will the cost be if she waits as opposed to getting it now for retail, or as an extended contract?
Thanks!

Full retail it's $649 for a 4s at least if you buy it through Verizon. Maybe apple has certified like new but probably not. I would say adding a line would be cheaper. It's $30 a month additional to monthly access and $9.99 for insurance if you want too. Most peoria if the get a corporate discount you get a discount off the voice plan and data plan. Normally you can upgrade 20 months. You might be able to bill to account some of that if your willing to have it on your next bill.

Classic scenario, where to create Contract and product category

Hello All,
We are using SRM4.0 ( Classic scenario) with non-sap backend system.
We need to attach contract in Shopping cart in SRM.
My questions are:
1. In which system ( EBP or non-sap backed), we need to create contract? and how to create it?
2. In which system( EBP or non-sap backend), we need to define product or product category? and how to create it?
Regards
Neelesh

Neelesh
When you replicate product categories from any backend system, they get created in SRM and update the value of logical system with the backend from which it replicated.
You can only create Product category in standalone. You can try to create the same for classic but maintain log syst value with the correct backend. This is not advisable.
PS : Reward points if helpful.

For value contract by using WK1 or WK2
WK1 -with assortment module & the value contract can be made for more then one material.

u have to maintain a different pricing procedure WK0001.
document pricing procedure is V for value contract.
After that u can create a sales order with ref. to value contract.
or if u wont want to create with ref to value contract then u can create a sales order with the materials which are not mansion in the value contract.
WK2- this value contract type is meant for a particular material which was mansion in the contract document .
u have to proceed like same as WK1 & the item category will be WKC
I hope it will help u

Different amount in Contract and Billing document.

Hi All,
We have a issue here, need suggestion.
We have a contract which has a billing plan. We have maintained monthly plans with a fixed amount.
Say we have $ 1000 in the contract, but the billing has been created with $ 900.
So you see the amounts are different in contract and billing document.
We have checked there are no recent pricing changes or any such changes that will have such effect. The invoice is created in May.
There were pricing changes in March but they had been corrected in March itself.
Let me know if anybody has faced such issue and where may be the issue.
Regards,
SB

You would have to cross-check the Pricing at Item level in Contract & Invoice. Hope , it would help you to check the Base Price or some other Prices / Discounts.

How to use item category group for pricing?

Hi,
how can I use the item category group to carry out pricing?
I want to determine a condition type for item category group DIEN only and no other.
Thanks for help!
Florian

Hi Florian Preuss,
You should follow the next steps:
1. Check if the item category group field exist in the pricing catalog to choose it as a field in a table condition, if it doesn't exist (I don't believe that), you should contact to a technical person (ABAP) to add it to the structure KOMPAZ.
2. Create a condition table with this field (item category group) and others that you need to determine the condition.
3. Create an access sequence with this condition table.
4. Create a condition type and assign it the access sequence.
5. Add the condition to pricing procedure.
6.. Enjoy it.
Thanks in advance,
Mariano.

What is the difference between Category Mgmt and Spend Analysis?

Hi Friends
What is the difference between Category Mgmt and Spend Analysis?
Regards
Chinna Krishna

Hi Chinna
Here are my two cents on this questions
1. Catagory Management : It pertains to all sourcing activities that a purchasing group does for a specific catagory of items ( say tyres, bearings, etc. in automobile industry scenario OR steel sheets, electric motor, etc. in consumer durables industry scenario) in order to meet companies strategic goals like cost, quality, delivery and new product introduction. It also involves the strategic sourcing piece for that category. Typically it can include following activities for a category which is being managed
- Identifying current and future business & technical requirements
- Constant vigilence and analysis of supply market for that category ( and also identifying new sources)
- Lauching various projects within category focussed on cost reduction, quality improvement, delivery improvement. This may include some of activities like supplier analysis. RFx, Reverse auctions, contract negotiation, etc.
- Monitoring the category specific supplier performance
Category Management team typically consists of cross functional team and it is iterative process (continuous improvement).
Category Management in covered to some extent in E-Sourcing application and its analysis is covered in Spend Analytics application. Fully blown category management is on road map of SAP but none of the current functionalities addresses it fully.
2. Spend Analysis: This involves analysis of the spend at highest level of organization. To improve the data quality, it typically involves spend data standardization & enrichment, supplier normalization and spend categorization. Once you have clean data, one can slice and dice the data to gain insight into the spend and identify opportunities for launching the various initiatives focussed on cost, quality and delivery.
SAP Spend Analytics application covers this spend analysis capability.
Its a long answer and hope it helps you.

Ways of creating contract and process flow of contracts

hi friends
ways of creating contract and process flow of contracts
thanks for ur help
regards
krishna

hi,
In the MM Purchasing component, a contract is a type of outline purchase agreement against which release orders (releases) can be issued for agreed materials or services as and when required during a certain overall time-frame.
Contracts can take the following forms:
Quantity contracts
Use this type of contract if the total quantity to be ordered during the validity period of the contract is known in advance. The contract is regarded as fulfilled when release orders totaling a given quantity have been issued.
Value contracts
Use this type of contract if the total value of all release orders issued against the contract is not to exceed a certain predefined value. The contract is regarded as fulfilled when release orders totaling a given value have been issued.
You can also set up corporate buying contracts with your vendors. These are valid for all plants and company codes within a client (see Centrally Agreed Contract).
You can create a contract as follows:
Manually
You enter all data relating to the contract manually.
Using the referencing technique
As reference document (the document you copy from), you can use:
Purchase requisitions
RFQs/quotations
Other contracts
CREATION OF CONTRACT MANUALLY:
Choose Outline agreement --> Contract --> Create(ME31K)
The initial screen appears.
Enter the necessary data. If you make any specifications under the group heading Default data, this data will appear as the default data in each item.
In the Agreement type field, specify whether you are creating a quantity or value contract, for example.
Press ENTER .
The header data screen appears.
Enter the contract validity period. Check the other fields on this screen and make any necessary changes (e.g. the terms of payment) and define the header conditions.
Press ENTER .
The item overview screen appears.
On this screen, enter the information for each item (material number, target quantity, price, receiving plant, or account assignment, etc.) using the same procedure as with purchase orders.
Material without a master record: leave the field for the material number empty and enter the following:
u2013 Short description of the relevant material or service in the Short text field
u2013 Material group to which the material belongs, in the Material group field
u2013 Account assignment category
You can enter u (unknown) or the category of an account assignment.
u2013 The target quantity and the order unit
If you specify an account assignment category other than U (field A), you must enter the relevant account assignment data for the item. To do so, choose Item ® Account assignments (see also Account Assignment).
If necessary, review the details for each item. Select the item(s) to review. Then select Item -> Details.
Enter the desired conditions.
Enter further text for the item if any additional instructions to the vendor or Goods Receiving are necessary. Choose Item -> Texts -> Text overview.
Save the contract.
Hope it helps..

Using SRM for very large contracts and contract management

We are doing an SRM 7.01 implementation project. SRM will be used primarily for outsourced contract management. The contracts are all services associated with facilitites (plant) maintenance and also support services like cleaning or catering.
They have very large numbers of items priced individually (e.g. 10,000) per contract. The items price depends on the location the work is expected to be performed. The location is represented in SAP RE-FX architectual object. The price can be priced at any level of the hierarchy e.g. service A is priced the same across the whole state but service B is priced per campus.
q1. SAP advises that there are performance limitations on SRM contracts >2000 lines. Has anyone experience in a solution to provide very large contracts in SRM? How did you do it please?
q2. SAP advises to use the plant to represent the location for pricing purposes, but this would result in a very large number of plants. Has any one experience in alternative solutions to for variable location pricing in SRM contracts please? I.e. like integrating the RE-FX architectural object or similar into contract and PO line items.
thanks very much

Hi Prakash,
SRM does provide the facility of contract management with the help of Purchase Contracts and Global Outline Agreements but it is used as part of the sourcing for materials and services. The materials or services have contracts against some given target value against which PO is released. The contract is based on a material number ( eithe material or a service) which will be used as a source of supply during the creation of the Shopping Cart. It might not really fit in the scenario of carrier and freight forwarders but still can be customized for this kind of use.
The contract management functionalities in the R/3 space can also be looked on for this purpose.

MM Gurus,

kindly suggect me how i can capture this activities in plant maintenance also.
Thanks and regards
G.Sathish

Hi,
Satish you can create service PO based on PR generated out of PM order
Use item category D and account assignment category K in service PO and maintain these services as either service masters or text items in PO
You can enter service entry sheet based on activity completed (services rendered) by service provider the rate will be as per PO
Thanks
