To test if the basic setup of the accelerator package is ready, you can calculate a simple price list.

Prepare Sample Data

To calculate the price list, you will use the basic Cost Plus pricing method. For that you need to add a couple of data rows.

  1. Manually add cost of some of your products.

    1. Navigate to Master Data › Product Extensions.

    2. Click Add Product and set cost for your specific product.

  2. Manually add the percentage value added to the cost to get the price.

    1. Navigate to Master Data › Company Parameters.

    2. Find and open the detail of the Company Parameter GlobalCostPlus and then click Add Record.

    3. Set up a default 5% for all products (regardless of the product hierarchy).

       

  3. Set up a default price calculation strategy.

     

    1. Set the record data.

       

Create and Calculate Price List

  1. Navigate to Price Setting › Live Price Grids.

  2. Click New Price Grid. A dialog with 3 steps will pop up.

    1. In the step Define Live Price Grid, set up the label and type and then click Continue to Products.

      • Label: Global

      • Type: SIMPLE

         

    2. In the step Select Products, select all products by clicking Select All.

       

    3. In the step Set Parameters, set up the following and then Save the definition.

    4. In the section Parameters, set up:

      • Default pricing logic: ParentPriceListLogic

      • Result Price: Final Price

      • InputConfigurator

        • Parent Level Name: Global

    5. In the section Output Elements, select all output elements.

    6. In the section Default Fields, set Hide in item list for all fields, so that the price list does not have too many columns for now.

  3. To calculate the Live Price Grid, select the row with the price list and click the Calculate button.

  4. Wait for the Ready state.
    Note: The calculation will take time based on the number of products calculated. If you have thousands of products you may want to leave the calculation running in the background and come back later.
    Wait a couple of seconds and then refresh the list of LPGs to see if the calculation is ready.

  5. Click the ID number link to open the Live Price Grid detail to review the line items. You should see a line for each product. Many of the fields will be empty or with errors because the data is not populated yet.
    Note that your view may differ from the following screenshot, so ensure to review the content of all columns.

    1. You should be able to see on the line:

      • Cost you defined for your product

      • Defined strategy

      • Final price

      • Margin gathered on the product when sold for the final price

    2. Click the Show link located in the Warnings and errors column to see why the prices were not calculated.
