The substance of which an item is composed, such as wood, nylon, copper, and gold.
Material Base Prices (tcmpr0140m000)Use this session to view, specify, and update material base prices for a price list or business partner, and item. Note Leave fields blank if the material base price must apply to all items or business partners. For example, if you leave the Item field blank, the material base price applies to all items.
Material The substance of which an item is composed, such as wood, nylon, copper, and gold. Business Document Module Specify if the material base price is used in Procurement, Sales, or both. Price List List of default prices and discounts for customers and suppliers. You can link price lists to items and item groups, and to sold-to and buy-from business partners. Note If a price list is specified, you cannot specify a business partner in the current session. The material base price then applies to all buy-from or sold-to business partners that have the price list linked in the Buy-from Business Partners (tccom4520m000) or Sold-to Business Partners (tccom4510m000) sessions. Sold-to Business Partner The business partner who orders goods or services from your organization, who owns the configurations you maintain, or for whom you perform a project. Usually a customer's purchase department. The agreement with the sold-to business partner can include:
Note If a business partner is specified, you cannot specify a price list in this session. Ship-to Business Partner The business partner to whom you ship the ordered goods. This usually represents a customer's distribution center or warehouse. The definition includes the default warehouse from which you send the goods, the carrier who carries out the transport, and the related sold-to business partner. Note If a business partner is specified, you cannot specify a price list in this session. Buy-from Business Partner The business partner from whom you order goods or services; this usually represents a supplier's sales department. The definition includes the default price and discount agreements, purchase-order defaults, delivery terms, and the related ship-from and invoice-from business partner. Note If a business partner is specified, you cannot specify a price list in this session. Ship-from Business Partner The business partner who ships the ordered goods to your organization. This usually represents a supplier's distribution center or warehouse. The definition includes the default warehouse at which you want to receive the goods and if you want to inspect the goods, the carrier that takes care of the transport, and the related buy-from business partner. Note If a business partner is specified, you cannot specify a price list in this session. Item The raw materials, subassemblies, finished products, and tools that can be purchased, stored, manufactured, and sold. An item can also represent a set of items handled as one kit, or which exist in multiple product variants. You can also define nonphysical items, which are not retained in inventory but can be used to post costs or to invoice services to customers. The examples of nonphysical items:
Note
Effective Date The first day on which a record or a setting is valid. The effective date often includes the effective time. Expiry Date The date from which a record or a setting is no longer valid. The expiry date often includes the expiry time. Base Price The fundamental price of a material, which is used as a basis for computing material price surcharges. For materials with fluctuating prices, material base prices prevent high material surcharges and ensure realistic initial prices. Example For the item Copper Wire with Plastic Coating, the major part of the price includes the copper price. The minor part of the price includes the costs of the plastic coating and the production costs for coating the copper wire with the plastic. If one meter of plastic coated copper wire costs $8.00, the price parts would be as follows:
To prevent the initial price being low with only $1.022 and the (variable) material price surcharge being high with $6.978, you can specify an (approximate) material base price for copper of $6.500. As a result, the initial price is $7.522 (0.422 + 0.600 + 6.500) and the material price surcharge is $0.478 (6.978 - 6.500), which represent more realistic figures. Default value The Base Price field in the Materials (tcmpr0110m000) session. Currency The currency in which the material base price is expressed. Default value The Currency field in the Materials (tcmpr0110m000) session. Price Unit The material's price unit. Note An approved conversion factor must exist between the Price Unit in this session and the Quantity Unit in the Materials (tcmpr0110m000) session. Default value The Price Unit field in the Materials (tcmpr0110m000) session.
Only Effective Base Prices If this command is marked, only the effective material base prices are displayed.
