SD Pricing System

[Former Member]

hi,

We are in the process of implementing a new pricing IT system with SAP.To implement we need to choose between 2 systems: PROS/Vendavo.

We need to know did anybody has implemented any one of the systems.If possible we can have chat about it so that we know why did u chooose that system in relation to your industry.

Our Industry: OIL/GAS

Pricing Solution System: PROS/Vendavo

Present ISSUES: Manual work, lot of time, complex formulas

Question:Which system you chose? and why? and what is your industry you are working in?

What are the Pros and Cons of each system?

Thanks & Regards,

Andrew

What is add on core pricing?My requirements are that lot of our pricing process in SAP is very manual and we want to automate it...so we are looking at other systems that we might integrate with SAP or make configuration changes in SAP or make custom solutions with SAP?

I am doing some research which one will best fit based on users experience in the market or anybody has a good idea?

Requirements SAP related:

1. need a report to notify what contracts are ending on specific date for fixed price

2. formulas i should be able to reference from a customer even if i do not add in the formula or group list?

3. should be able to do transaction ZDRC or ZFA0 in one step for different SHIP TOs for the same customer rather than doing that for each terminal

4. report telling me what contracts are starting from today so that i can change price procedure code in ZCUSTPROD in ZRFG(product set up)

Thanks & Regards,

Andrew
