itelligence

Things have been quite busy for me as of late leaving me very little time for posting new content on this blog.  Lately, though, I had the opportunity to write a blog post about the SAP Intercompany Drop Ship process for my employer, itelligence, and I thought I would share that link with you here (itelligencegroup.com).   You are more than welcome to request access to the accompanying webinar recording (at the bottom of the linked page), but keep in mind the applicants may be screened beforehand.  Enjoy.

Ask Me Anything: SAP Value Discounts vs Price Discounts

Question?

This question on SAP discounts comes courtesy of Val:

I’m configuring  a series of % discounts in SD. Each needs to apply a % to the price, not to the value (SAP default), so the price per unit decreases with each discount.  The result is a slightly different final total value from the standard method.  I can’t find a way in standard config, all I can do is a standard value: can you suggest anything?  Do I need a custom requirement?

Ask Me Anything: SAP Condition Update, Max # of Orders

Question?

This question comes courtesy of Krishna. He writes (edited for clarity):

My requirement is to give a discount for the first 50 sales orders. I tried this using the condition update tool. It is limited to only 3 sales orders. I want to make it for 50 sales orders, but I am not getting anywhere. Please help me.

SAP: Sales Document Date Fields Demystified

It’s not uncommon for me to receive questions regarding  date fields on SAP Sales Orders.  That should not be surprising considering that users will be confronted by no less than 10 date fields during normal order maintenance.  That number can rise to more than 15 depending on how you slice the numbers.  In this article, I will explore these date fields and how they impact other activities.  Read on for more on Sales Document Date Fields.

SAP Pricing Procedures Strategy & Rationale

Pricing Procedure

My clients’ pricing procedures come in all shapes and sizes — from the bizarrely complex to Spartan simplicity. I also find a huge variance in the number of procedures.

All of this got me to thinking about the standard SAP pricing procedures and how their structure and rationale may help with inspiration to stick with the standard structure.

SAP Cumulative Graduated Pricing and Discounts

SAP Logo

First off, this post is mostly stemming from frustration.  So, if you’re expecting some sort of magic bullet to handle cumulative graduated pricing, I can’t offer you much.  What I can offer you is a list of options, how they work, and why they may not fully satisfy the requirement.  It seems simple:  You want to offer your customers gradually reduced pricing — or gradually increased discounts — as they purchase throughout the year across multiple sales orders.  Though seemingly simple, the solution is not.
