Pricing engine missing key error

we use coomodity pricing engine for SD, but for one sales order condition tab, the formula key is empty, any experts know which part of CPE configuration goes wrong or this is data issue?
the second issue is the used commodity qty 271g is not tally with order quantity, which is 3000 g for this item, ny experts know which part of CPE configuration goes wrong or this is data issue?

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.

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,

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

Hi,
This error is happening due to these scheduled tasks running on a versioned (BCC) instance. They are not needed on the BCC and not designed to work in this situation.
You should just set the schedules on these 3 components to:
updateSchedule^=/Constants.null
in a .properties file.
Thanks.

Reg ABAP as UME for J2EE engine with portal

Hi ,
I am using ABAP as the UME for J2EE engine.
The main user is j2ee_admin. In case of login to portal with this user there is no roles assigned to this user.
what roles should i add in the R/3 side to make this available ?
I am also not able to create users or access any role related operation in the UME interface available for the J2EE engine.
Any suggestions..

Hi Bharthwaj
Since thr portal user and Roles are relies on portal database u used Only SAP system as the UME tha's why
u cant's assigned or get any role in the portal
SO if u want to use SAP system as UME u should use
datasource Read only SAP system + Database

we want to know how used commodity qty 690g is derived? and where can we see the price maintained for fixed rate 30 USD as attached?
also how formula value is calculated?

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

Reg:Getting MAP into Sales Pricing Calculation

Hi Gurus,
Could you provide information to get the Moving Average Price into the Sales Pricing Calculation in IS Retail?
Regards,
R.K

Hi,
Please configure condition type VPRS in your Sales pricing procedure and mark it as statistical.
Then allow the cost calculation indicator in your Item catogry definition.
Please maintain the same and check with the sales order pricing.
It should pick up the Standard price or Moving average price from material master.
Reward points if this helps.

Harsh
