Symptom
You have created a purchase order and you are able to manually add discounts or surcharges.
You want to know how this can be automatically populated in a purchase order.
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to Purchase Requests and Orders
- Select New Purchase Order under Common tasks
- Select View All
- Enter the necessary details related to product, price etc.
- Navigate to Prices tab
- You can manually add Discounts and Surcharges here
- You want this to be populated automatically.
Cause
You have not set up any source of supply like contracts where you can specify discounts/ surcharges beforehand .
Resolution
Price conditions, including surcharges or discounts may be applied to the price charged for a product in a purchase order or contract.
Price conditions are based on contracts, list prices, or product and supplier information and may have a fixed validity period.
e.g. In contract -> items-> prices tab you can add the price components.
When you create purchase order , system will look for available source of supply like contract, and if you have already set surcharge/discount in contract then it will pick automatically.
