Switch to Flexible Offline Pricing
No internet and still want to capture orders and give discounts, leverage ERP like Flexible Offline Pricing.
With the Lean offline pricing (with simple price list based on sales area, customer and product) being deprecated by end of 1805, it is time to switch to the new way for offline pricing.
It is simple to switch and provides more flexibility.
1a- Create a simple pricing procedure in ERP with one condition type for price. Link this condition type to access sequence combination of Sales organisation,Distribution Channel, Division, Customer and Product. Choose the fields based on the business scenario t be supported or create multiple access for different combinations.
1b – Reuse your ERP pricing procedure, use the download report “RCOD_PRC_CUST_EXTRACT_TO_EXCEL” to download the condition types, Access sequence and condition tables customisation information. Today not all fields are supported for defining the price, so choose only those condition tables/access sequence which have the supported fields.
2- Once the pricing customisation data is downloaded use this exported xls to upload to C4C and transfer your pricing customisation data into C4C. (Check the data in the Offline pricing fine tuning activity)
