What is the difference between VPRICAT and VPRE

[Former Member]

Hi guys,

I know one can create Idocs for Pricat with both transactions.

But what is the difference between VPRICAT and VPRE

and why do we need 2 transactions?

Hello Dieter,

As per the information available on the internet,

VPRICAT has a system called Engineering Change Management that allows you to update prices in your catalog automatically when a price has changed.

From SAP it toolbox

"I've found elsewhere on the net is the existence of a transaction to manually generate an on-demand pricing catalog and transfer it through the PRICAT IDoc to another system=2E The transaction to do this is VPRE and is much more user-friendly than VPRICAT, but it does not allow you to take advantage of engineering change management as is possible in VPRICAT=2E"

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

MR
