Configurtor and pricing engine

he folks, I would like to know information regarding the configurator and pricing engine firing sequence, like when enter the order quantity then tab out to next field the pricing engine fires, like after entering the order quantity then tab out to next field and then launch the configurator during this also the pricing engine fires or not? Please let me know because we have serious performance issue when we launch the configurator from sales order form.
Thanks,
mahesh

Is the issue in CRM or R/3? If it is in R/3, then check the Calculation Type in IMG whether "Q" is set. If your issue is in CRM, then, I will move this thread to CRM forum

Performance issue: Adding a new product line to existing Quote calls pricing engine for existing line a well

Hi All,
I need some assistance for my below query...
If there are already existing some product/quote lines on the quote and then we try to add another new product/quote line to this quote , then it is taking more time to add the product. As per my understanding it is calling the Pricing engine for the existing line as well. How can we avoid the pricing engine call for the existing lines.
There are some parameters which we are setting as mentioned below :
l_control_rec.header_pricing_event := 'BATCH' -- What does this mean when we set to batch
l_control_rec.price_mode := 'ENTIRE_QUOTE'; -- (possible values could be CHANGE_LINES , QUOTE_LINE)
l_header_rec.pricing_status_indicator := 'C';
l_control_rec.calculate_freight_charge_flag := 'Y';
l_control_rec.calculate_tax_flag := 'Y';
l_header_rec.tax_status_indicator := 'C';
Question :Could someone please help us with this whether is there any way with these parameters could be altered or changed to some other value ( like for PRICE_MODE we see this parameter could have some other values like : CHANGE_LINES , QUOTE_LINE etc other than ENTIRE_QUOTE).
means lets say we do the Pricing Engine call only for the Newly Added quote line but not do it for the Entire Quote again and again..
Now the other question here could be how do we finally synch the line level price values for all the quote lines upto the Quote header level in form of Totals (TOTAL_LIST_PRICE,TOTAL_TAX, TOTAL_SHIPPING_CHARGE, SURCHARGE, TOTAL_QUOTE_PRICE in aso_quote_headers_all table) ??
Also is there a way that we don't do the Freight Charge calculation and Tax calculation (means we skip this completely) while adding products to the quote but do it at a later point when doing the Submit to Order functionality.
Could someone please help with these pricing related parameters and modes to be used in order to get around this performance issue
Thanks
Mithun

Dear Expert,
Activate your Controlling area as usual and Cost Centers and Profit Center , You can assign an internal order for the particular product line for what you are seeing and can collect the costs of that particular product line exclusively.

How to capture the calculated (using pricing engine ) quote line price

Hi everyone,
Need some help.
Can anybody explain me:
How to capture the quote line price on run time when the pricing engine is invoked and at the same time this calculated quote line price should not get updated in the base table(Quoting module in CRM).
Please help me.
Thanks,
Srinivas
Edited by: user0232 on Aug 26, 2011 8:21 AM

Hi,
Which cost to capture is depends on Costing and valuation varients
Got to OKP6 or OKP8
Select valuation varient >>> Maintain strategy sequence under MATERIAL VALUATION
Which system can take first Variable or standard.

Pricing Engine call having performance issues

Hello All,
Morning need some help with this ,, we are having performance issues with the QP Pricing Engine call using seeded API : qp_preq_grp.price_request
We are having Pricing Context setup and have about 20 pricing attributes defined/setup with different values.
The price list is which is passed has a dynamic formula attached to it. This formula makes use of the pricing attributes and factor lists to provide final price.
For the Pricing control record we are passing below mentioned parameters :
p_control_rec.pricing_event := 'LINE';
p_control_rec.calculate_flag := 'Y';
p_control_rec.simulation_flag := 'Y';
p_control_rec.manual_discount_flag := 'Y';
Could someone please assist as to how we could trace or debug this pricing performance issue , means what exactly is causing the pricing call to take time.. Is there any other way other than taking a trace file and geting a tkprof.
meaning could something be analysed or checked within Pricing debug/trace itself to see what is causing the performance to degrade (specific to pricing debug)
Thanks

Since you are using a formula to come up with a price, you no longer need the calcualte price flag as 'Y' . Pass as following:
p_control_rec.calculate_flag := 'P'; --- 'Partial Price; indicates that Pricing will not be calculated automatically by the system, but other charges will be'
OR, if you do not need the shipping charges to be calculated as well, pass the value as :
p_control_rec.calculate_flag := 'N';
Please let me know.

Dipanjan

Pricing Engines in ATG

HI
when pricing engines are called in atg?
will it call from pipeline or other than that ?
if it will call from pipeline then which pipeline?

PricingEngine and calculators are called when there is a modification on the order.
a.Additems to order
b. remove items from order
c update quantity of the items in the order
d. finally when the order is traversing different states (submitted , no action required , refunded etc..,)
Typically in e-commerce flow it could be
on 1. Add to Cart
2. Remove from cart
3. Adding Shipping information
4. Check out
5. Order Confirmation
6. Taxation
ProcessOrderwithReprice , PriceOrder are two which come to mind

Sales Order Pricing Calculation using Pxternal Pricing Engine

I have a customer who would like to call an External Pricing Engine to calculate the pricing for sales orders. This is from an ECC system and not from a CRM system. Has any one done it?
What would be the right user exit to make such a call to the external system and get the prices and continue the process? Can you please share your experiences?
Any sample code will be very much appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks Aashrith.
We would like make an RFC call to the external system. For example, in Banking, it can be done as stated in the documentation: Interface to External Price Calculators - Price Calculator for Financial Instruments - SAP Library .
My question is: Can we do something similar to this to determine pricing in sales order? If so where can we make that RFC call?
Thanks again.

Is there a list of all OM functions (from Sales Order Screen) which, when order or line is saved, the pricing engine is called?

I have been asked to give a list of all fields, when added/updated and saved, will then fire the Pricing engine.
Does such a list of actions on the sales order screens (which result in subsequent call to pricing engine) exist?

thanks for the replies.
Modifying the item category is not desirable, as this change will affect any orders in progress.
The line on the order is reflecting billing relevant (per item cat) and is waiting for the delivery to perform the billing. The delivery is reflecting comleted, as the item has been identified as not billing relevan. As the current status of the order is correct, running the program to update/correct the status has no effect.
Ultimately, I am looking for a process that will accept the order and line item and subsequently touch required tables to reflect a completed line.
thanks,
Wade

Output post processors and workflow engines doesn't come up after cloning

ours is a RAC+ASM+PCP -enabled
host1 : DB+ Concurrents
host1 : DB+ Concurrents
host3 : WEB+FORMS+OC4J
host4 : WEB+FORMS+OC4J
We are suffering from an “empty entropy pool” within the JDBC driver. Basically, the driver will attempt to gather a random number from the pool, but if the pool is empty the driver will wait (sometimes indefinitely) for values to come in. In most installations, the default configuration has the pool being “filled” by numbers created through a user interface such as mouse movements. On our servers, we are typically in a “headless” configuration so the pool may not be replenished properly. I’m not sure why we are seeing this new issue, but since the random number generator is related to security, maybe a security enhancement from the OS upgrade has made this more sensitive.
Note that QA4 is “mostly” up and running. The concurrent managers are started on both wpsun144 and wpsun154, but the output post processors and workflow engines are still having issues
The ultimate solution is to add some form of “entropy gathering daemon” to keep the pool filled, but we will need the Unix Admin team’s help and some research to find the best solution. Apparently, in Solaris 10, there is a kernel-level “cryptographic framework” for adding/removing entropy sources.
The workaround is to add a java option to the java command line. For Solaris this seems to work: “-Djava.security.egd=file:///dev/urandom”. This is NOT a reasonable solution since this requires modifying multiple delivered scripts/templates. I made the following changes only on wpsun144.
First, for the context file I had to modify the “s_adjreopts” variable to add the above workaround (per doc 1066312.1).
For adgentns this was fixed by modifying the $AU_TOP/perl/ADX/util/Java.pm file and adding the option. Here are the new lines in the file:
if($javaCmd =~ /jre/) {
return ("-mx256m -Djava.security.egd=file:///dev/urandom", 0);
} else {
return ("-Xmx512M -Djava.security.egd=file:///dev/urandom",0);
After this change, adgentns completed successfully and both the “tnanames.ora” and “listener.ora” files were created in the $TNS_ADMIN location.
For adgendbc, I had to manually modify the template for the script (there are 10 java command lines in the file).
$AD_TOP/admin/template/adgendbc_ux.sh
For txkExecSetJaznCredentials.pl, this file was modified:
$FND_TOP/patch/115/bin/txkSetJaznCredentials.pl
At this point, adcfgclone did finally complete successfully! Also adautocfg is now completing successfully!

Questions about CIN tax procedure choice and pricing schemas

Hi all,
I have to implement SAP on a Indian company and I'm verifying all particularity about this country (in particular tax procedures and the great number of differents tax conditions used).
I have two questions about tax procedures and pricing schemas. Every feedback about thse points will be appreciated.
a) To choose tax procedure TAXINN or TAXINJ which are the elements that I have to consider?
I have read lot of documentation about CIN implementation and Iu2019m oriented to choose TAXINN schema, but If possible I would to understand better which are on behalf of one choice or another.
b) To define pricing schemas for India, after check with local users and using examples of documents (in particular tax invoice) actually produced, I have understood that taxes have to be applied on amount defined starting from price list, minus discounts recognized to customer plus surcharges eventually to bill (packing, transport, etc.).
Itu2019s correct for any type of taxes that tax amount is calculated on u201Cnet valueu201D defined at item level or there are exceptions to this rule?
Thanks in advance
Gianpaolo

hi,
this is to inform you that,
a) About point 1 I know the difference between the 2 tax procedures (conditions or formulas). I also have read in others post in the FORUM that TAXINN is preferable. So I would to understand which are the advantages to choose instead TAXINJ. There are particular reasons or it'a only an alternative customizing setting?
a.a. for give for posting the link : plese give me the advantages of TAXINJ and TAXINN
CIN - TAXINN and TAXINJ
b) About point 2, to define which value has to be used as base amount to calculate taxes isn't a choice, but is defined depending by fiscal requirement of the country, in this case India fiscal requirement. I know that, as Lakshmipathi
write as answer on my question, exception could be, but it was important for me to understand if I have understood correctly the sequence of the pricing condition in the schema in "normal" situation.
b.b. you can create your own pricing procedure for this and go ahead.
hope this clears your issue.

Link b/w credit horizon period and pricing proceadure

Hi Gurus
what is the link between credit horizon period and pricing proceadure.

Hi there,
Also check in OVA8 what is the horizion in Dynamic credit check for your credit control area.
Could be that the system is defaulting the horizion from there.
But as per standard, for your case system willnot check the orders that are due for delivery after 2 months. It will consider the orders that are due for delivery only within the 2 months of the order date.
So check the delivery due date is within the 2 months period or after the 2 months.

Sivanand

Tax and pricing info are not flowing into Idoc orders02-eledp04 and 05

Hi,
We are carrying out SRM5.5 -SUS and ECC6.0 Integration using PI 7.
We are configuring for the MM-SUS Scenario.
Now,to accomodate the Tax / Pricing we have installed the add on
component LOCINSUS and we are having doubts on how to use it:
1) Tax and pricing information are not flowing into IDOC- orders02
(e1edp04 and e1edp05 segments are not present in the created IDOC). The
condition print indicator in checked on ECC System and we have also
implemented SAP note 995986.
2)In create ASN transaction , we are not able to see the Excise Invoice
Number and Date field in Basic data tab as expected from SAP Library
document although we have installed the Localization Add on component.
Please help us to reso1ve these issues,
Regards,
Mani

Mani,
Did you resolve this issue, because we are having the same issue in ECC6 with IDoc ORDERS02.
If you did resolve this issue could you please let us know how, much appreciated.
