Special Price Management

Forum,
I would like some advice on the best way to handle special prices in "Period and volume discount" currently we have a couple of thousand items in this aera, but only a couple of hundred that are needed. i would like my colleagues (who enter the special prices) to manage this better i.e. when an item is not on special offer (or is not a bulk buy item) for them to remove from this list. can you let me know what other companys do to manage this area. and if there is an easy way to manage this better.
Regards,
Juan

Would anyone on the forum be able to assist?

Special Prices - Hierarchies

Hello,
one of our customer needs more fields in the matrix of the
"Special Prices - Hierarchies" window:
so i added (with my own init tool) a userdefined field to the SPP2 table ...
i can see the UDF in enterprise manager but the field is not shown
in the "Special Prices - Hierarchies" form and i cannot open the
"Form Settings" to activate the new field, cause the form settings menu is
disabled in this form.
can someone give me an advice ?
lg David

Hi Eddy,
i just created a simple DITool which creates UDF... nothing special:
   oUserFieldsMD.TableName = sTmpTableName
   oUserFieldsMD.Name = pName
   oUserFieldsMD.Description = pDescription
   oUserFieldsMD.Type = pType
   oUserFieldsMD.SubType = pSubType
   oUserFieldsMD.Size = pSize
   oUserFieldsMD.EditSize = pEditSize
   lRetCode = oUserFieldsMD.Add

Prices on invoices not mantained - Discounts - Special Prices

Hello everybody,
I'm developing with SBO2005 A PL7 and DI API.
I have this problem with an our addon that generates invoices.
If I set this properties:
.Lines.Price = X
.Lines.DiscountPercent = Y
and I have Stock Management - Price Lists - Special Prices - Discount Groups setted for this customer,
the price X comes mantained ok, but the DiscountPercent Y comes overwritten on this instruction:
objInvoice.Add as if it takes another PriceList.
Do you know why?
How can I set this field AR/Invoice - Form Settings - Price List (for the document)?
Thank you
Andy

I intended the field Price List field in [Form 998, Item = 31, Variable = 2, OCTG.ListNum]
Thank you again

Special Prices are not expired for BP

Hi,
We have set the special prices against a BP code for a date range, even after the expiry of the date range. The special price is picking for the mentioned BP. it is not getting expired as per criteria selected.
Pl suggest for the issue.

Hello Vijay57,
I would like to ask you on which window you wrote the discount.
If you add a date range the correct field where to add the discount percentage is Discount under:
Management - Price List - Special prices - Special Prices for Business Partners - Period Discounts.
There is another Discount field in the Special Prices for Business Partners window, but if you write the discount there it will disregard the date range.
Can you please tell me if this information helps you?

Report to show changes in special prices

Hi All
We are having a problem currently where some users change the prices in the system and since the special prices table or price table does not have a log it makes it difficult to check who changed the prices from what price to what price and when.
So as a solution I am looking for a report or function that will alert me when there is any price change, or a log file that can log any price changes in the system.
We are using SBO 8.81 A PL09

Hi,
You've posted your question in the System Administration forum which is for system installation and configuration topics. Your question would be better placed in the reporting forum:
http://scn.sap.com/community/business-one/reporting-and-printing/content?filterID=content~objecttype~objecttype[thread]
or in the general application forum:
http://scn.sap.com/community/business-one/content
In answer to the question, I think you could probably create your own logging solution by creating a separate SQL table and using a script in the SBO_SP_TransactionNotification proc to insert a record in this table when a user updates a special price. The SBO client will pass the CardCode and ItemCode properties through in the proc. The object type is 7. The OSPP has a UserSign field but I'm not sure if that holds the UserID of the original user who created the special price or if its the user who last updated the record. You'd have to test that. Alternatively you could develop an add-on that runs in the GUI to track the user clicking on Add/Update in the special pricing screen and recording the details.
Kind Regards,
Owen

Sorry for the double post; I thought I would be better showing how my code goes.
As with the original poster, I am using the DI-object Special Prices to insert new records. I am trying to create a Special Price that is BP-Item specific, using the default demo company (SBO Demo UK), valid date from 15 Jun to 20 Jun.
Dim oSpecialPrices As SpecialPrices = oCompany.GetBusinessObject(BoObjectTypes.oSpecialPrices)
Dim oSpecialPricesDataAreas As SpecialPricesDataAreas = oSpecialPrices.SpecialPricesDataAreas
' SpecialPrices settings
oSpecialPrices.ItemCode = "A1000"
oSpecialPrices.CardCode = "C1000"
oSpecialPrices.AutoUpdate = BoYesNoEnum.tYES
oSpecialPrices.PriceListNum = 3
oSpecialPrices.DiscountPercent = 50
' ------------------ START ------------------
' SpecialPricesDataAreas settings
oSpecialPricesDataAreas.SetCurrentLine(0)
oSpecialPricesDataAreas.DateFrom = New DateTime(2006, 6, 15)
oSpecialPricesDataAreas.Dateto = New DateTime(2006, 6, 20)
oSpecialPricesDataAreas.AutoUpdate = BoYesNoEnum.tYES
oSpecialPricesDataAreas.Discount = 15
oSpecialPricesDataAreas.PriceListNo = oSpecialPrices.PriceListNum
oSpecialPricesDataAreas.PriceCurrency = "GBP"
oSpecialPricesDataAreas.Add()
' ------------------- END -------------------
' Adding and checking for any errors
oSpecialPrices.Add()
oCompany.GetLastError(lErrCode, sErrMsg)
If lErrCode <> 0 Then
    MsgBox(lErrCode & ": " & sErrMsg)
End If
If the portion of the code between START and END was commented out the insertion was successful. Else as it is, it will keep prompting Invalid Date Range (-10).
Can anyone please shower some enlightenment?

Business Partner Special Price Import - DTW

Forum,
We have a number of special prices for Business Partners which we'd like to update. In some cases, we would like to remove the current special price and have the system pick up the unit price against an item within Item Master Data.
When importing through DTW using the OSPP template, we have entered '0' as the price. This correctly imports in through DTW and removes the special price however, when we then raise a sales order for that item. The unit price is zero and it hasn't picked up the unit price against the item within item master data.
Is this how it works or is there a setting we're perhaps missing? I have test this in the demo and it does pick up the unit price from item master. In our set of data, it does not.
Regards,
Juan

Absolute value discount in Special Prices

I have a customer that has special prices with a value discount, not a percentage one.
I thought about adding a UDF to the Special Prices table and do a formatted search against it, but later I found that I cannot add an UDF to the Special Prices table...
All the discount functionality in SBO is percentage based...how should I implement an absolute value discount?
Any ideas will be much appreciated...

Hi.
This is sample code in C++ to add UDF.
_bstr_t TableName = L"TableUID";
_bstr_t FieldName;
HRESULT hr;
SAPbobsCOM::IUserFieldsMDPtr m_pUserFieldsMD = m_Cmp->GetBusinessObject( SAPbobsCOM::oUserFields );
m_pUserFieldsMD->PutTableName(TableName);
FieldName = L"FieldUID"; 'without U_'
m_pUserFieldsMD->PutType(SAPbobsCOM::db_Alpha);
m_pUserFieldsMD->PutName( FieldName );
m_pUserFieldsMD->PutDescription( L"desc");
m_pUserFieldsMD->PutSize(20);
m_pUserFieldsMD->PutEditSize(20);
if ( m_pUserFieldsMD == NULL )
return -1;
m_Cmp->StartTransaction();
hr = m_pUserFieldsMD->Add();
if (hr!=S_OK)
'error'
if ( m_Cmp->InTransaction )
m_Cmp->EndTransaction( SAPbobsCOM::wf_Commit );
Hope it helps.

Changing colors in special prices BP

Hi all,
When hierarchies are available per article in the function Special prices per BP, all figures are automatically blue, when there are no hierarchies, all figures stays black.
The difference between blue and black is hard to see for some people.
The blue color is also visible in sales/purchase orders when hierarchies are available, but sometimes hard to see the difference.
Can these colors be changed??
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Carl Verhagen

Carl,
I am not sure if the colors can be changed. I agree sometimes it could be hard to differentiate the colors.
You might try posting the question to the SDK forum to get some insights on what options are available through SDK.
Good luck

Query to see all BP's with a special price for an item

Hi There,
I'm currently still learning the product and have been tasked with finding this out, so please bear with me and let me know if there is further information that is required.
I have a customer running SAP B1 2007 who wishes to produce a report detailing all of the BP's that have a special price for an item.
Therefore it would ideally show the item number, all BP's who have a special price and what that price is.
Is there a standard report that can be run for this? Or would a query have to be defined?
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
AFAIK, no standard report for this. But need not to worry, you just need
SELECT ItemCode,CardCode,Price FROM OSPP ORDER BY ItemCode,CardCode
above simple query to cater your need.
Best Regards,
Hendry Wijaya

Price and special price

Hello
My question is about special price and depending on the last price a discount applies
Example discount 10%
Customer A no special price for article B 100 so with discount it'll be 90
Customer B special price for article B 70 so with discount it'll be 63
Thanks

You can use the Special Price for BP's

How to copy Sales Quotaton prices to Price List or Special Prices

We frequently use Sales Quotation to communicate deal price offers to customers. Once these prices are approved, we have to re-type these prices into applicable price lists or special prices.
We are looking for a way to copy these deal prices from Sales Quotation (by Business Partner) over to the applicable price list and special prices?
Please assist?
Jaco de Villiers

I was told by my Implementation Partner that it is possible to import and update price list by using the Import function that is available in SBO. To do this:
1. From your sales quotation with the agreed prices - export to excel.
2. Change the format to list: Product code, Price list to update, New price, Currency
3. Save the file as tab delimited text
4. Import into SBO using the Administration, Data Import/Export, Data Import, Import from Excel option.
5. Choose Item type to import
6. In the B line, choose Price List Code, the list updates to show only the fields relevant to price list updates
7. Press OK and follow rest of instructions to complete the import.
I found the above to be simple, repeatable and reliable enough to solve my initial question.

Future Dated Special Prices

I have created a Special Price that does not go into affect until a future date. When the item associated with this special price is entered in an order for the BP, no price comes up. It appears that the existence of the special price stops SAP from looking elsewhere yet because the special price is not in affect yet relative to the date entered, no price is retrieved. The BP has a Discount Group that supports a price for the Item and the BP has a default price list. One would expect that SAP would look for a Special Price for the date on the order, not find it because of the date set in the Special Price, and then go look at Discount Group and find the price there. I wouldn't expect that I would have to enter a line in the Special price to support the BP until the future date is reached. Bug or poor functionality?

Hi Chris,
I'm not able to replicate that behaviour. The system however doesn't operate quite as you expect, as special prices always override discount groups. So when we set up a special price it has to have a price in the main special prices window as well as in the period discounts window. then when you key an order, it will use the price from the special prices window over any discount group price until the period discount comes into effect.
Perhaps you have no price in the main special prices window?

Prices auto adjusted when setting up BP Special Prices

In the BP Special Prices, based on different quantity, the user had set up prices accordingly. They would like the price to be fixed and not be adjusted.
If the Auto is checked in the Special Prices for BP, the Unit Price after Discount will varies. This is misleading to the supplier if they received the Purchase Order print.
If the Auto is unchecked, the Unit Price before Discount will varies. Again, this will be misleading to the AP Department when checking on the original price of the item.
Would like to maintain the price accordingly to what the user had setup without variations.

Dear Mr See,
According to my tests, when you untick the auto box the price does not vary even if the base price in the price list does vary.
If the customer does not want that the price changes according to the changes in the base price list, ask him/her to untick this box.
I am not sure why you refer to the Purchase Order print. Is the price in the Purchase Order stored in a price list? Is this price list considered as base price list for another one?
