BPA With Allow Price Override and Price Limit Functionality – R12.2

Description:

Case 1: Checking Allow Price Override

price override is a feature of a retail management system that allows an authorized person to change the automated price of a product or service, in order to apply a discount. … Unauthorized large discounts can be given to associates of the employee.

price limit is an established amount in which a price may increase or decrease in any single trading day from the previous day’s settlement price. In financial and commodity markets, prices are only permitted to rise or fall by a certain number of ticks (or by a certain percentage) per trading session.

Step 1 – Create and Approve BPA:

Responsibility: Purchasing.

NAV: Purchase Orders——–Purchase Orders.

Create a Blanket Purchase Agreement for Item 3 with price as 100.

Approve the Blanket Order and note down the BPA number (15).

Step 2 – Create Releases:

Now Release the Blanket Purchase Order.

NAV: Purchase Orders——— Releases.

Query with PO number come to line level where you can notice that Price option is grayed out in the Price Tab, which makes sure that you can only edit the quantity and not the Price while releasing the Blanket PO.

 

Step 3 – Enable “Allow Price Override”:

Now again, go to the same purchase order and enable the “Allow Price Override” option in “Price Reference” TAB in the line level and save. (Price Limit will be defaulted from the List price)

Please note that any modifications in the approved blanket purchase agreement will change the status to Requires Re approval and creates the new Revision Number. Approve the Blanket PO again.

Now try to release the same line and notice as we get the option to edit the price as below.

Note: Checking Allow Price Override option in the Line level makes you edit the price in the Blanket Release for that particular line.

 

Case 2: Price Limit control for Blanket release

 

Step 1 – Enter “Price Limit” Amount in BPA Lines:

Go to the same Blanket PO (above one) and change the Price Limit to 120 from 100 and save.

Step 2 – Change the Price in BPA Release up to 120:

Now, if you try to release the Banket PO, you will be able to change the price maximum till 120.

Step 3 – Change the Price in BPA Release More than 120:

 

The system will not allow you to increase the price more than 120 as we have limited the line price to 120 in “Price Reference” TAB.

 

Summary:

 

If you allow sales flexibility when setting final pricing, that’s okay—a certain degree of flexibility can be a good thing. It’s critical, though, that someone within company management is paying attention. Someone must be able to measure override activity so that the impact can be assessed.

 

A limit order is an order to buy or sell a stock at a specific price or better. A buy limit order can only be executed at the limit price or lower, and a sell limit order can only be executed at the limit price or higher. … A limit order can only be filled if the stock’s market price reaches the limit price.
