The price agreement is created on the basis of a known supplier, a known ident list, and a known price list. It does not matter where the list of idents originates. Even if a Smart Materials inquiry cycle has been performed, there is no procedure that would transfer the prices from the inquiry into the price agreement area.
To create a price agreement, a price type has to be defined on the AS.10.01 Price Types screen. A price type is basically the name of a price agreement. This can be used to define different price agreements for the same supplier.
The price type, supplier code, currency, price agreement number and start/end date for validity can also be inserted in screen AS.10.01.
The AS.10.02 Price Data screen allows to insert price list items with group, part, commodity code, and ident information, and to assign prices.
Since there is no approval procedure available for price agreements, the inserted
prices are directly available for use in procurement (MSCM). An approval procedure
is not foreseen, because the purchase order, which will later receive prices from
the price agreement, will be approved in any case.
