| Price retrievalA priority-based search mechanism is used to retrieve prices in LN. Step 1. Retrieving prices from a contractWhen searching for
prices, LN first checks
whether a valid special contract and next a
valid normal contract exists. Step 2. Retrieving prices from a price bookIf LN cannot find a price in a special contract or a normal contract, LN tries to retrieve
prices from a price book. LN uses a specific searching logic: Supplier price book with high priority LN first searches for a supplier price book as defined in the Supplier Price Book field of the Pricing Parameters (tdpcg0100m000) session, for combinations that have the High Priority check
box selected in the Price Book Lines (tdpcg0131m000) session. This search step is only applicable when retrieving purchase prices,
not sales prices. Price book linked to a price matrix Next, LN searches for price books that are linked to valid price matrices,
selected from the price matrices for which a matrix priority is defined. LN looks for price matrices with a matrix definition and matrix
attributes that match the properties of the relevant order. Note that all of
the matrix attributes must match the properties of the order. When found, the
price book of the price matrix, in which the matrix definition and the matrix
attributes are stored, is used to calculate the price of the order. If more
than one valid price matrix exists, price retrieval is controlled by the Price Control/ Price Control parameters in the Pricing Parameters (tdpcg0100m000) session. For service items, these conditions apply: Normal pricing The Sales Prices Search Method field in the General Service Parameters (tsmdm0100m000) session determines for what origin prices
are searched for. For example, if this parameter is Price Books Service, only price books are searched for that are linked to
price matrices for which the Price Origin is Service in the Sales Price Matrices (tdpcg0130m010) session. Internal pricing If the price origin is set to Commercial Price for the Subcontracting Depot Repair scenario in the Intercompany Trade Agreement (tcitr1600m000) session, an internal repair price is retrieved
from a repair price book, which is linked to a transfer price matrix in the Transfer Price Matrices (tdpcg0130m030) session. - If the price origin is set to Time and Material for the Subcontracting Depot Repair scenario in the Intercompany Trade Agreement (tcitr1600m000) session, a subscenario must be specified in
the Intercompany Trade Agreement - Transfer Pricing Rules (tcitr1605m000) session. If the
subscenario is of type Internal Material Delivery or Labor and the Price Origin is set to Commercial Price, an internal transfer price is retrieved from a price book, which is linked to a transfer
price matrix in the Transfer Price Matrices (tdpcg0130m030) session.
Default price book Finally, LN searches for: - A default sales price book, as specified in the Default Sales Price Book field of the Pricing Parameters (tdpcg0100m000) session to retrieve sales prices.
- A default service price book, as specified in the Default Service Price Book field of the Pricing Parameters (tdpcg0100m000) session to retrieve service prices.
- A supplier price book, for combinations that have the High Priority check
box cleared in the Price Book Lines (tdpcg0131m000) session to retrieve purchase prices.
Note - Price retrieval for internal trade transactions between
specific entities or enterprise units is based on the pricing data specified in
the Intercompany Trade Agreement (tcitr1600m000) session.
- If the Use Upgrade Prices check box is selected in the Unit Effectivity Parameters (tcuef0100s000) session and the order line contains an effectivity unit, upgrade prices are added to the price.
- You can always specify or update prices.
