Pricing plays a crucial role in every business operation, and SAP Business One offers various pricing strategies to help businesses manage their pricing effectively. When creating sales documents in SAP Business One, the system calculates the selling price based on the price lists and other pricing conditions configured in the system. To ensure accurate pricing calculations, understanding the price source field in SAP Business One documents is essential.
What is the Price Source Field?
The price source field in SAP Business One Price documents provides information on the source of prices and discounts applied to items in a document. This field helps users identify where the price and discount come from, making it easier to troubleshoot and optimize pricing strategies.
Types of Price Source Values
The price source field can contain various values, indicating the origin of the price and discount. Here are the possible values:
- Inactive Pricelist: This indicates that the price list for the business partner is inactive.
- Active Price List: This means that the price is taken from the business partner price list without any discounts.
- Active Price List, Discount Groups: In this case, the discount is taken from the discount group, and the price comes from the price list.
- Special Prices for Business Partners: This means that the price is taken from the Special Prices for Business Partners window.
- Period and Volume Discount: This shows that the price is taken from the Period and Volume Discounts window.
- Period and Volume Discount, Discount Groups: The discount is taken from the Discount Group, and the price is taken from the period and volume discount.
