| Overview of margin control |  |
| Margin control enables you to control margins for sales orders and quotations created for standard items. In margin control, ERP LN checks whether the net price of the sales quotation or sales order falls within the allowed margin. General master data The following master data must be defined to use margin control: Use the Gross Margin Control check box in the Sales Order Types (tdsls0594m000) session to define whether gross margin control must be executed for the order type. Use the Can Release Margin Held Orders check box in the Sales User Profiles (tdsls0139m000) session to define whether a user can unblock sales orders/quotations that have been blocked because margins are exceeded. Use the Sales Order Parameters (tdsls0100s400) session to define various margin control related parameters. Use the Margin Control Parameters (tdsls0120m000) session session to define the action that must be taken when a sales order or quotation falls outside the defined margins. In the Items - Sales (tdisa0501m000) session and the Sold-to Business Partners (tccom4110s000) session, you can define: The upper margin (the percentage by which the target price can be exceeded). The lower margin (the percentage by which the price can be lower than the target price). Types of margin control You can define separate actions for each boundary (upper and lower) for each of the following margin types: (Price) margin control. Gross margin control at detail level. Gross margin control at header level. For details, refer to Types of margin control. Note When a sales order or quotation falls outside the defined margins, more than one action can be taken at a time. For example, ERP LN can signal, log, and block a quotation or an order. If an order is blocked due to margin guidelines, the block must be removed manually, even if the price is corrected to fall in margin guidelines. Blocking occurs at the step specified in the order type as the blocking step. Related topics Types of margin control To use margin control Order blocking |
