Manage Pricing Groups

This document explains how to manage pricing groups. By using pricing groups, pricing conditions can be defined for items per division and facility. This is applicable when pricing strategies for consumables are based on local item classification.

Define and maintain pricing groups

Pricing groups are defined in 'Pricing Group. Open' (OIS365).

A pricing group is connected to items per division. The valid items are defined using a maximum of three control fields. The pricing group selection criteria are specified in 'Pricing Group Selection. Open' (OIS366). Per entry, up to six pricing groups can be defined and are applied in priority order as displayed on panel E.

The predefined key field must be defined as selection criteria for the pricing group in 'Available Object Ctrl Parameters. Open' (CMS016). These act as the search path for finding the values the order line must match for the pricing group to be valid in (OIS366). A combination of selection can be specified in up to three control fields.

Manage pricing groups

Pricing group is supported as a control object to drive pricing in 'Sales Price List Table. Open' (OIS012), 'Discount Model. Open' (OIS800), 'Sales Costing Element. Open' (OIS015), 'Order Line Charge. Open' (CRS275), 'Order Ln Charge Model. Open' (CRS278), and 'Trade Agreement Table. Open' (OIS436).

For promotions, the pricing groups can be used as selection criteria in 'Promotion. Generate Items' (OIS843) to determine what items to include in the promotion.
