Managing Internal Sales Pricing
To gain a price overview prior to entering the internal sales order, the price information must be maintained both in a purchase agreement and in one of the possible price origins of the customer order such as customer agreements or price lists. A synchronized pricing logic is not supported so a customer order price list cannot be applied within the purchase agreements.
Once the internal purchase order is printed, the purchase sales price can be carried over to the customer order. The setting ‘Source sales price’ in 'Settings – Batch Orders' (OIS278) controls whether the price is accepted or disregarded.
If disregarded, the Customer Order (CO) line retrieves the sales price based on its own price search sequence defined per CO type in 'CO Type. Open' (OIS010). If the purchase price is configured to be carried over to the customer order, the price origin of the customer order line is set to A - ‘Price from external system via API'.
For both scenarios, the CO line’s sales price is always confirmed in 'Purchase Order. Confirm' (PPS250) upon printing the customer order confirmation.
Limitations
- There is no synchronized pricing set up between the customer and purchase order. The purchase order agreements must be maintained separately from the customer order's price lists or blanked agreements. You can configure the internal sales so that the purchase price is carried over to the customer order and either way, the customer order's sales price is always confirmed back to the purchase order.
- Discounts such as order total, line or group discounts are not supported for internal sales orders. Neither are the cash discount terms.
- Service charges are not supported for internal sales.
