Promotion: Minor Enhancements

As of SAP R/3 Enterprise Retail Core 4.70 (SAP_APPL 470), the following enhancements are available in promotions:

You can now assign price points for promotions that differ from those in standard pricing. The system will use these price points as the default for price point adjustments during mass maintenance.

During mass maintenance, you can choose whether you want the system to use standard rounding, or always round down to the nearest price. For example, if an article is normally priced at 99¢ and has a promotion price reduction of 50%, standard rounding results in a price of 50¢ while rounding down results in a price of 49¢. This complies with US requirements that the customer always receive the full percentage off the normal price.

Normally when you activate a promotion price, the system calculates and stores information about the markup, margin, purchase price, and so on. To improve performance, however, you can choose to generate sales price conditions without having the system calculate them. In Customizing for promotion types, specify without calculation. With this setting, you simply enter the sales price and activate it. When you save the promotion, the system generates the sales price conditions. The system automatically proposes without calculation in the header data. You can accept or reject this proposal for a given promotion. Regardless of the header data, you can still choose whether or not perform calculations for selected articles within the promotion.

In addition to the reference distribution chain and reference site, there is also a reference price list available in Customizing for promotion types. A Business Add-In for promotion (BAdI) is also available so you can implement your own logic for price determination.

The following key figures have been added to sales planning reports: sales volume at standard sales price, gross margin, and lost sales dollars.

The previous two-step process for selecting and pricing articles has now been combined into a single step.

A BAdI allows you to automatically populate or modify the default values at the item level when you assign a new article to a promotion. You can use this BAdI to modify any or all of the fields that are available for entry in the item overview or item detail screens.

Market basket pricing is now supported. You can assign articles within market baskets to a promotion.

The allocation strategy is now included in promotions. You can assign either an allocation strategy or an allocation rule to a promotion item. The allocation strategy defaults from the allocation type in the promotion header data. The allocation strategy (like the allocation rule) can be used to generate an allocation table or to simulate an allocation.

The multiuser functionality is now available in transaction WAK2. This enhances the functionality previously provided by the special multiuser transaction WAK12. When you select a promotion, you can decide whether you want to maintain the entire promotion (in which case other users cannot work on it) or only selected articles within the promotion (in which case, only those articles are locked while other users can work on the articles which are not locked). Several users can display header data (for example, site groups, themes, promotion modules, and so on) at the same time, but not change it. However, they can change data pertaining to the item lines (for example, promotion prices, volumes, pricing conditions, bonus buys, and free goods) Also, they can assign new items to a promotion or delete items from a promotion.

For information on the new promotion discounts function, see the Promotions Discounts release note.
