Symptoms

The customer is requesting that in trading business the sales price can depend on the location (supplier) where the material is shipped from. This can be in a SD/OD process but could also be in use for regular sales orders. In advanced pricing it is currently not possible to use the vendor of the sales order detail line (where as CARS is possible). Due to this other methods must be used to facilitate sales pricing based on vendor.
In the customer's user case it was utilized the priced code 2 cat code. This works but requires a lot of additional master data maintenance. For every supplier an additional code must be maintained in the price code 2 UDC. Instead of entering address book numbers pricing details you have to enter address book numbers for the customer and price code details for the vendor. Besides the additional maintenance user gets confused in identifying vendors. Should it be by number or price code. Enabling the vendor field (VEND) in advanced pricing (like CARS) eliminates a lot of the additional master data work, only requires the vendor field in the sales detail line and makes the entire process more consistent.
