Ability to use decimal, quantity, and percentage term types for pricing conditions
Feature ID

DMS-13286

Feature Description

This feature enables buyers to define pricing conditions for item terms of decimal, quantity, and percentage answer types. Previously, buyers could only define pricing conditions for item terms of money, whole number, and text answer types. The cXML documents sent from SAP Ariba Strategic Sourcing Suite to SAP ERP through SAP Ariba Cloud Integration Gateway for creating purchase orders, contracts, and scheduling agreements now support pricing conditions for item terms of decimal, quantity, and percentage answer types. Buyers must implement the necessary mappings to support integration of pricing conditions for item terms of decimal, quantity, and percentage answer types. As part of this feature, Purchase info records (PIRs) created in SAP ERP now supports the use of pricing conditions for item terms such as Surcharge Percentage and Discount Percentage.

Customer Problem

Pricing conditions represent the pricing schema of a purchasing document in the ERP system, and are based on information which is captured upon the tendering stage. Buyers could only gather in the tender certain types of information. This led to sub-optimal sourcing processes, missing the opportunity to collect at once all the required information for the pricing conditions.

Customer Value Proposition

Now, buyers can use additional types of data in the pricing conditions. This enables them to collect quantity and period -based prices, as well as other information, as part of their sourcing process streamlining the later stages of integrating these details to an external system.
