| # Overview of margin control Margin control enables you to control margins for sales orders and quotations created for standard items. In margin control, ERP Enterprise checks whether the net price of the sales quotation or sales order falls within the allowed margin. If the defined margins are exceeded, ERP Enterprise takes the appropriate action. Setting up margin control 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 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 Partner (tccom4110s000) session, you can specify: 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 specify the following margin types: (Price) margin control Gross margin control at detail level Gross margin control at header level For more information, refer to Types of margin control. Using margin control If margin control is implemented, when a sales order or quotation is entered, several checks are automatically executed and exceeded margins are logged.
