SD Price Catalogue

Hello EveryBody,
We need to send out an automated Price Catalogue to one of our customers every week covering the pricing for the next week or any other changes. Only one date can be entered in the price determination tab of the catalogue in VPRICAT. If I leave this blank then the validity of the material in the catalog is supposed to be taken but it looks like only one price is included in the message?
How would it be possible to include several prices (in case there is a price change say tomorrow we need to include today's price and tomorrow;s one in the same transmission).
We have just this month upgraded to SAP EEC6 and this is now an imporant requirement. Any help would be appeciated on what we can do to get round this limitation.
Thank You

Hi Gordon,
I have a work around for this (though it is not a robust solution, it might work). It increases the workload of people who maitain pricing condition records in your org.
You may create another pricing condition for future prices.
Lets say ZPR0 is your actual pricing condition and ZPR1 is new condition record for future prices (make sure ZPR1 is not used in any pricing procedures).
Now if ZPR0 is $100 for current week and $95 from next week on, ask your master data team to maintain these two condition records normally and ask them to maintain ZPR1 with $95 with current validity. After doing this please include ZPR1 in requirements profile assigned to price catalogue. This will ensure transmission of both prices with same validity date.
Now all you have to do is to change validity date of ZPR1 (by reading valid from date of ZPR0 condition record with valid from date in next week) by using relevant customer functions in price catalogue transmission program (plenty of customer functions are available in this program)
while transmitting make sure you will transmit ZPR1 in future price for next week (this can be achieved in EDI mapping)
Hope that helps.
Thanks

  • Question Outbound Price Catalogue (VPRICAT) - Scales

    Hi to all,
    does anybody now how to activate scales in Outbound Price Catalogue (TCode VPRICAT)?
    Although we have maintained scale for price condition in TCode VK11/VK12, scales are not determined in Price Catalogue.
    Thank you for your help.

    Hi,
    I think Search UI is designed for reading standard Price Information.
    We use both standard Price Information and custom price field for sort purpose.

  • EDI 832-Sales/pricing catalogue from vendor

    Hello Experts,
    We are setting up sales/price catalogue interface from our vendors to SAP through EDI 832. I'm new to Retail and wanted to know the process of once we receive the 832 idoc from them what are the follow up documents that idoc generates in SAP and what would be the follow up steps in SAP? Also, do we have to send back anything to the Vendors once we receive 832 or we directly send the PO to vendors?
    Should i be using idoc PRICAT01 or  Pricecatalogue02 idoc? I'm not sure what is the difference?
    -Aditi

    Hi,
    You can use PRICAT01 IDOC for sales/ and prices catalog  if you want to test which type of fallow up documents are  generated during inbound processing of IDOC go to WE19 (test tool for IDOC ) keep IDOC type PRICAT01 and feed all required filed and  use inbound function module " IDOC_INPUT_PRICAT"

  • PRICAT price determination

    Dear all
    We need to send out an automated Price Catalogue to one of our customers every week covering the pricing for the next week. From what I see only one date can be entered in the price determination tab of the catalogue in VPRICAT. If I leave this blank then the validity of the material in the catalog is supposed to be taken but it looks like only one price is included in the message?
    How can we achieve to include several prices (in case there is a price change say tomorrow we need to include today's price and tomorrow;s one in the same transmission).
    any help highly appreciated!

    SAP allows only one price date...
    If you dont enter the key price date, Price date is taken from the Validity base date @ material assortment.
    Iam also working on the similar solution. If I make headway, I will communicate to you.
    Iam also working on price change notification (weekly)...Do you know to how to use send it out.
    Here's the approach.... Iam using.
    1. Planning to use the same price catalogue and change the key price date for next week --> Generate Price catalog (PRICAT02) IDOC with new price.
    SAP though recognize the key price date change happened @ header but its not re-pricing them based on the new date.
    Any Help is greatly appreciated.

  • Receiver File Adapter: Problem with NewLine Content Conversion Parameter

    Hello Everybody
    On our SAP-XI (SAP NetWeaver 2004s, sp14) I have the scenario to send a price catalogue (IDoc PRICECATALOGUE.PRICECATALOGUE02) from SAP R/3 as csv PRICAT file to a file share.
    In the receiver communication channel I have defined
    Message Protocol = File Content Conversion
    using the following RecordSet:
    RecordSet = HeaderRow,MainBody
    One header row is followed by one or more main body rows. The csv PRICAT message format demands that there is an empty row (i.e. one carriage return) between header and main body and another carriage return after the last main body row:
    <Header Row>
    carriage return
    <MainBody 1>
    <MainBody 2>
    carriage return
    As content conversion parameters I tried to use NewLine ('nl') to create the carriage returns in the file:
    HeaderRow.fieldSeparator = ,
    HeaderRow.endSeparator = 'nl'     " new line
    MainBody.fieldSeparator = ,
    MainBody.endSeparator = 'nl'
    Using the settings I have been able to created the carriage return at the end of the file but not the one between header and main body.
    As workaround I have used the following approach:
    " Add the following XSLT mapping between header and body:
                <SeparatorLine>
                    <value>
                        <xsl:value-of select=" '' "/>
                    </value>
                </SeparatorLine>
    RecordSet and parameters have been changed accordingly:
    RecordSet = HeaderRow,SeparatorLine,MainBody
    HeaderRow.fieldSeparator = ,
    HeaderRow.endSeparator = 'nl'  
    SeparatorLine.fieldFixedLength = 0,0   " sic! 
    MainBody.fieldSeparator = ,
    MainBody.endSeparator = 'nl'
    Has anybody an idea why I failed to receive the first carriage return and has somebody a more elegant solution?
    Kind Regards
       Uwe

    Hi,
    Thanks for reply. I have already used 'nl'.
    When i open into the notepad it is showing [] boxes rather then new line.
    e.g. 1 [] 2 []
    but when we open into wordpad it opens properly.
    Customer wants when he opens in notepad it should show line by line.
    e.g.
    1
    2
    How should i convince to customer ?

  • How to include new fields in PRICAT

    Hi,
    My aim is to import a new field to the PRICAT price catalogue, and be able to
    maintain this field in transaction W_PRICAT_MAINTAIN.
    I have entered the new field in table PRICAT_K003 (using an append structure),
    and have used the Badi implementation WRF_PRICAT_DIALOG to include the new field in the ALV report definition for transaction W_PRICAT_MAINTAIN. For this purpose I also included the field in structure WRF_PRICAT_K003_STY.
    However, when trying to make the necessary changes to copy the field content  from PRICAT_K003 to the new screen field, I encounter a few problems.
    For this I have created a new Badi implementation for Badi definition
    WRF_PRICAT_POOL, method IF_EX_WRF_PRICAT_POOL~EXTEND_ARTICLE_MASTER.
    This method uses parameter io_inbound_item (type ref to CL_INBOUND_ITEM). The field doesn't seem to be visible in any of the available structures in this method. I have attempted to include the new field in some of the other structures (in addtion to WRF_PRICAT_K003_STY), but have been told by the system not to do this.
    Any suggestions on how to solve this problem?
    If there is anybody out there who have a description on how to import new fields
    into PRICAT and further on to the article master, I would very much appreciate if you could pass it on to me.
    Best regards,
    Per Erik Fjelde

    Hi,
    I have a similar problem with inbound pricat. I extended PRICAT_K003 with a few custom fields. These fields are filled using a BAPI table extension and implementing IF_EX_PRICAT_IN_EXTIN. The fields show up correctly in W_PRICAT_MAINTAIN and are also filled when I look in the database table. But when I create an article master from an entry in the pricate catalogue, all custom fields are cleared. I wanted to use IF_EX_WRF_BADIPRE_POST_MAT~PRICAT_PRE_POSTING_PROCESS to transfer the custom fields to MARA, but the incoming structures of the method only include blank custom fields.
    So I found IF_EX_WRF_PRICAT_POOL, but it's methods include only structures which are not extendable. So I don't see how I can preserve the data in my custom fields.
    Per Erik, have you found a solution for your problem?
    Is there anybody else out there who knows how to transfer custom fields from the price catalogue to material master data?
    Best regards,
    Holger Merk

  • Pricat 832 in AFS system

    Hi,
    We have a requirement to send price catalogue out of an AFS system. Can we use Pricat02 idoc for that purpose or this? I know it works in in IS-Retail, not sure about other systems. If anyone has used it in AFS, please confirm it. Also, How do we get material size and color info in this idoc as AFS works on the concepts of grids..
    Thanks,
    Jassi

    Hello,
    Unfortunately, price catalog functionality was never enhanced for AFS (included release 6.5), therefore you'll have to go with custom development/segment for adding AFS data like price at sku, dimension(s), sku group, or category level.
    Regard,

  • Error in price at the time of creating SHC fro catalogue item

    Hi
    Cann anyone help me with the following problem.
    Error in price at the time of creating SHC fro catalogue item
    mentioned below article no. 0452202 then a pallet is to cost 3275,05 (you can only order min. 10 pallets).
    The system multiplies up the price by 10 & 10 and at that moment I transfer the shopping trolley it multiplies up again.
    The price for 10 pallets was gladly to be 32720,50 - Buttttttttttttt it turns into 3.272.050.
    Please help me in providing a solution for this
    Best Regards.

    Hi
    Please go through this ->
    Note 739562 Simplified pricing: Price 0.00 if catalog item.
    This is the standard system response as of EBP 3.5 Support Package 05 or Note 569275.
    This also depends on how you uploaded the price in the catalogs ->
    For price details you should use the following characteristics:-
    /ccm/price[1]#/ccm/amount /ccm/price[1]#/ccm/currency_code
    Perhaps you have to maintain field pricechangeable in BADi-InterfaceIF_EX_BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER in method - ENRICH_ITEM_DATA. This will make sure you can edit the price_

  • Query about price information in the MDM SRM catalogue

    Hello,
    I am setting up an MDM (version 2) catalogue for an SRM system for the first time, and I am considering how to structure the fields.
    We only need to hold a price for one unit for each item - i.e. we do not need to use price scales.
    In the example repository, prices are held in a qualified lookup table in field PRICE INFORMATION. There is some complexity in using this type of lookup table and my question is: can I avoid this and set up normal fields in the repository for price and currency?
    My concern is that the search user interface (SUI) will be hardcoded to work with PRICE INFORMATION because it must be using some logic to compare the requested quantity to  the price scales to arrive at a final price.
    Regards

    Hi,
    I think Search UI is designed for reading standard Price Information.
    We use both standard Price Information and custom price field for sort purpose.

  • Catalogue price increased by 10% with a few steps ??

    I have made a Catalogue in InDesign CS6. All prices must be increased by 10% ... Who can help me to do this with a few steps ??

    Just follow the instructions on that page. But here's a summary anyway:
    1. Click the download the script link. You're asked to choose a folder for the download. Choose any. You're downloading a zip file. Double-click the zip file and drag the file you see in there (number_adjuster_1_2.jsx) to your scripts folder. Don't open that .jsx file.
    2. If you don't know where your scripts folder is, click the install it link on the InDesignSecrets.com page for instructions.
    3. Open your document and start the script from the Scripts panel (Window > Utilities > Scripts).
    4. In the script's dialog, set these these things:
    = Numbers are formatted as: 1.234,56
    = Operation to perform: Multiplication
    = Operator: 1.1 (multiplying by 1.1 is adding 10%)
    = How many places to round to: 2
    = Only find numbers . . . €
    Now the tricky bit. You have a space between the Euro symbol and the money amount, and the script doesn't allow you to enter the Euro symbol and a space in the Only find . . . field. Therefore take a breath, and tick the Search on Custom RegEx checkbox. All you need to do is to add \s at the beginning of that formula. Don't change anything else: just add \s at the beginning.
    5. Press ok to run the script.
    6. You'll see that the prices are updated, but the space between the Euro symbol has disappeared. Insert that space again by replacing € with € followed by a space.
