Graduated Price Scale in an MM Contract

In ECC 6.0 we are looking to enter a pricing scale condition in a contract to put in place a discount once we hit a quantity across all our release orders.
For example, after we by 1,000,000 the price drops dramatically. There is a contract for the part with a vendor with many release orders that are summed to determine when we hit the 1,000,000th part.
Graduate price scale conditions work for individual purchase orders, but we haven't been able to get the price scale to work for the contract so that the release order with the 1,000,001th purchase is at the lower price.
Does anyone know how to implement graduated scale pricing for the purchasing contract?

Std SAP does not support this kind of solution but you can acheive with custom solution of wrok around is
make the contract with two line items having same materail and conditions except the price for second line should be the price you pay after 1000000 qty
in your case you can create contract for material with first line
is qty 1000000 @ $10 and the second line
enter any number of qty with discunted price so when you create the release order always use first line upto you reach the maximum limit and than use line item 2 for all remiaining orders.
I know this is not straight forward solution but without custom developement oyu can work only this way because in MM the accumalative functionality like SD does not exist.

Price condition determination for purchasing contract(ME31K)

Hi Experts,
     It is possible to apply price condition determination in purchasng contract(ME31K)? We had maintain the price condition for below keys: WBS/Material number and this condition record work well in purchase order. But I hope that this condition record is applied in pruchasing contract when we create contract by ME31K. Plz kindly give me a suggestion.
So I want to check the condition dtermination is whether fullfil my requirement. If we can not use the price condition determination to get the net price, then we only go for user-exit to get it.
Thank you very much in advance.

Why not, in me31k, click on condition button on toolbar for item conditions and for header conditions, click on menu bar path HEADER>CONDITIONS and maintain your conditions accordingly.

How to allocate order by checking the price scales during MRP run

Hi,
Here is a scenario.
A material XXXX is being supplied by Vendor A and Vendor B.
Vendor A has got price scale as below
For Order qty 0-10 pc -- Rs. 10 per pc
For Order qty 11-20pc -- Rs. 10 per pc
Vendor B has got price scale as below
For Order qty 0-10 pc -- Rs. 12 per pc
For Order qty 11-20pc -- Rs. 8 per pc
With these price options,...
--If requirement qty is 8 pc, then Vendor A should be assigned as Source of Supply in PR
--If requirement qty is 12 pc, then Vendor B should be assigned as Source of Supply in PR
How can this be met?
Regards,
Prathap

Hello guys!
As told, here I come with news about my problem.
Finally, the Strategy Group didn't solve our problem.
We didn't solve our problem as planned but we have found another way to work.
Instead of including the unrestricted stock in the MRP project, we use transaction CO46 to have an overview of the unrestricted stock of all the components of the project's BOM.
Based on that overview, the user can make stock transfers of the available quantities from the unrestricted stock to the project stock.
I hope it can help people having the same problem!

"Graduate- interval scale" i.e. Scale type D, Can it cover the many SO qty?

Hi All,
*Business wants, the Sales Order qty entered in many sales orders to be considered and given the Graduate -Interval Scale for the line items, but as per my testing this applies only for single line item in that SO!
If any one knows this can be met somehow, please share your ideas?
u201CGraduate- interval scaleu201D i.e. Scale type D, this needs to be maintained in condition type customization only!
e.g.: (For Customer/Material Disc. with condition type: K005) the Scale is set as below;
to 100 Qty 5Rs/ea Disc.
to 200 Qty 10Rs/ea Disc.
to 500 qty 12Rs/ea Disc.
If Iu2019ve two SO,
1. 23456 with Disc. line item qty as 50
2. 23457 with Disc. line item qty as 150,
The Scale should apply accordingly, i.e In First SO, for 50 Qty the Disc should be 50*5= 500 Rs,
And for Second SO, out of 150, first 50 qty should be applied with 5Rs Disc. and remaining 100 with 10Rs Disc.
Hope you understand the requirement here, let me know so that i can explain you more in case required.
The above request holds good if the single SO with one line item in it. but not if 2 SO thereu2026
your feedback much appreciated, Thank youu2026
Best Regards,
Sid.

Hi,
The Graduated Scale type configuration will not solve this requirement.
It can be handled with a 'Alt Cal type' pricing routine.

Can PO price be adopted automatically from Contract w/o reference.

Hi,
Normally when we reference a contract for creating a PO, the price gets copied from the contract.
If I have a contract and create a PO with the same Material/Vendor/Plant combination without any reference to the contract, the system gives a Warning message "A Contract exists" before saving.
Is there any possibility that we can make the system to adopt the contract price automatically even in this case?
With Regard,
D.Desigan.

Hi,
The answer is No AND yes.
No, the price from the contract will only be used if you link the PO to that contract. If there is no link than the price will be taken from the info record.
Yes, if you run a simple ABAP that will copy the price from the contract to the info record.

Price is not Picking from Contract while making PO

Hi Gurus,
Value Contract for services is created, While making the Purchase Order the price is not picking.
Note:-The Contract is in Valid Period only.
Can any one tell me what reasons may be there.
Regards,
Prabhakaran M

As a std procedure while creating PO price won't be picked from contract. Rather you need to create a PO w.r.t the contract. In that case PO will take the same conditions stored in the contract.
Else if you are working with sourcelist, then you need to define the contract as a source of supply. In this case when you create PO system will pick Contract as source and contract price will appear in PO.

Prices Not Displaying On Printed Contract

There is a contract in our system for services. The conditions for each service appear to be properly maintained. When the contract is printed, the prices are displayed up through a certain outline group, and then after that a 0.00 is printed, regardless of the conditions maintained. I do not know what could be causing this.
I noticed that the problem started occurring at a certain point in the past. Using the Statistics > Change functionality I discovered a change to an Internal Memo that I think might be causing the problem. I have the change document number (80850330).
How would I go about viewing this change document, and do you have any thoughts on what might be causing this problem to occur, and where I can look to start solving it?
Thanks - points will be rewarded.

Hi ,
The PO change documents are stored in the tables CDHDR and CDPOS .

Populating price agreements for performace base contracts with idoc

Hi Experts,
We are trying to create Contracts through idoc. We are using CRMXIF_ORDER_SAVE_M02 idoc and we are able to successfully create the flat fee contract and performance base contracts.
we are having problem with populating the price agreements for the performance base contract . We are using "E101CRMXIF_BT_PRCD_COND" segment for populasting pricing agreements but its not populating. But in case of a flat fee contract it is working fine we are able to create price conditions.
Could you please let us know how can we resolve this issue if any one faced thjs problem earlier.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sarath. J

Jürgen, thank you very much for your answer.
Unfortunately maintaining the info records is not an option in this instance as we have 1000s of materials and vendors (conveyor belts is just one example and this category alone contains a few 100s unique material masters with different attributes and each vendor will have a different variable price. For an indirect material category I don't think this is worth the effort).
I like your suggestion to check the difference between the PO price and a moving average price. However, what if the material is being purchased for the first time and therefore the moving average price is £0.00? Do you know the code for the user exit you mentioned? Are there any other solutions?

Price field in ME31K (create contract)

When creating contract in ME31K with reference to purchase requistion the price field does not appear in the tabular form and needs to be entered for each item in separate screen. Is there a way to activate the price screen in the table so it would be easier to enter the information?

Hi,
You will have to check the Field reference category assigned to your Contract document type. For the Selection group "Quantity & Price" select the indicator as either required or optional & not display.

PO net price updation with respect to contract net price change

We have a requirement: Whenever net price in Contract is changed, net price in open purchase orders (for which GR has been not done yet) which are created with reference to that contract updated automatically.
For example net price in a conract is 13 USD and there are 5 open POs. now net price (PB00) in contact is changed to 13.5 USD without changing the condition validity date, then it should be automatically updated in those 5 POs.

Hi Manoj,
This is possible using "Automatic Document Adjustment" functionality (MM - Purchasing -- PO - Follow-on Functions - AAA).
Here's the process.
1. Set Document Index active flag in pur. view of vendor master.
2. Create work list (MEI4)
3. Run MEI1
2 & 3 above can be run daily via batch jobs which will pick up contract price changes and update relevant PO's.
Cheers !

PO prices non - editablw while referencing contract

Dear All,
I have created a contract and assigned to PR. While converting the same assigned PR to PO, i want to make the PO price and tax code field not ediatble as that will flow from contract.
Is it possible with same PO doc type ( as same PO doc type is used for POs without reference, with RFQ etc)
Or i need to create separate PO doc type for release orders and do the settings for theis new PO doc type.
Or is there other way wher in I can restrict user so that he can not change the prices when PO is created with referencing a contract.
Regards,
Rakesh

HI RAkesh,
You need to go for a seperate document type for release PO's to meet your requirement. Then u configure field selection for the new doc type
Hope this clarified ur doubt

PO price condition tied to a contract

Hi,
I have a scenario wherein I have to put in a PO price condition like freight against a different vendor which is not an issue. However, the freight charges are actually covered by a contract and I would like to have the capability to link the PO freight condition against the said freight contract. This is to allow me to monitor contract spend and do other contract management/reporting activities. Has anyone have any ides on how this can be done? Am on version 4.6C. Thanks...

Hi Ramesh!
The currency rate should be used when converting the PB00 value from EUR currency to the local currency in tab Conditions at position level (the PO has as currency RON and the price condition PB00 has as currency EUR). The system will use this value (the converted value) also in GR as in IR.
Thanks.

for the condition type,with the first schedule line date.
could anybody knows how to modify the KOMV structure values?????
The quick answer will be highly apreciated?
Thanks & Regards,

Unit price formula syntex issue in Contract line item

Hi All,
I have uploaded price condotion XML from SRM to Sourcing. I have defined integarted Master agreement and added 0ICT item price condition for service and materila. I was able to add line item and publish to SRM.
I tried creating new custom price condition in Sourcing adn saved. After this I am not able to add line item in master agreement. It is showing systex error in unit price formula under document setup->formula.
I faced this error in past when I haven't added item price condition in master agreement type as default for material and service.
I don't know what went wrong. I have inactivated the custom price condition, imported the standard SRM again via XML and deleted priviously added price condition from the master agreement type and defualt with new one but no luck. I tried creating new master agreement type also but same error.
Please let me know if anybody has faced the issue in past and able to fix it.

Deepak

Thanks once again for ur reply..

Each PO Line Item price should be as per the scale in contract?

Hi
I have a PO with 2 line items, both line items are for the same material.As I order 2 different quantities, I get 2 different prices, i.e. per line item. (As per the Scales Maintained in the contract)
However once I save the PO, and then display the PO, the price is taken for the total quantity. Is there any way that I can have 2 different prices for both materials in the same PO?
This behaviour has changed in the last 1 month only.
Earlier in our SAP system each line item had different price as the scale for the ordered quantity in that line item.
We though it could be due to Group Condition checked in the Condition Type, but that check has been in our system since long time, hence it cannot be the reason.
Thanks in Advance!

Yes... this is a standard behavior..
You can do one option...
When PO fetch the price from contract, then copy the price and enter it manually again, then PO can remember the price after save..
