Material price information – sales quotations
If the Material Pricing in Sales check box is selected in the Material Price Parameters (tcmpr0100m000) session, material price information can be linked to a sales quotation line.
When a sales quotation line is specified in the Sales Quotation Lines (tdsls1501m000) session, LN searches for a valid material price agreement and includes the material price information in the sales quotation line.
If sales quotation lines are generated from sources with a price, such as from the Opportunities (tdsmi1110m000), Generate Sales Quotations for Project (tipcs2240m000), and Generate (Project) Structure for Product Variant (tipcs2220m000) sessions, LN does not search for material price information, because the price already includes the material prices.
On the Selling tab of the Sales Quotation Lines (tdsls1501m000) session, in the Material Price group box, you can view the (material) price for the sales quotation line. On the appropriate menu of this session, click to view the detailed material price information in the Material Price Information (tcmpr1600m000) session.
When you approve the sales quotation using the Approve Sales Quotations (tdsls1211m000) session and you want to redetermine the material price information during approval, select the Redetermine Material Prices check box.
The material price information for the sales quotation line is used as a default when you convert the sales quotation line to a sales order line. The sales quotation line can only include a material base price. Material price surcharges and surcharge costs are calculated for the resulting sales order line.
Material price information can be manually updated for a sales quotation line, or is updated by LN during the redetermination process. When the status of a sales quotation line is Confirmed, prices and discounts can no longer be updated.
Optionally, phantom items can be replaced with the related components when generating the budget structure in the Generate (Budget PCS) Structure for Sales Quotations (tdsls1201m100) session. The sales quotation line item can be updated by replacing the generic item with a standard item, or by specifying the item segment. When the item is modified, the item material content is retrieved using the derived-from item. The price of the phantom item is distributed across the sales quotation lines that are created, but material price information is not defaulted from the phantom and is also not redetermined. If the components would include material prices, the total price can differ from the original phantom price, which is not allowed.
