Maintaining Price and Rate category Facts

[shah_viraj]

Hi...

1) I have defined a Quantity based price key in EA89 transaction. This price will change every month and will be entered by business. Now, my questions is is it good practice to give authorization for transaction EA90 to maintain Price value to users?

2) My second doubt is similar to first one. I have maintain some amounts at rate category facts level in EA53. Now, this amounts are also vary on monthly basis, so is it good practice to give authorization for transaction EA54 to change rate category facts to users?

If answers to above question is NO, what should be the alternative?

Thanks,

Viraj.

Hi Viraj,

In price key we have "Authorization group" field (in header data tab2) .

So create one separate "Autho group" and assign it to those price keys which business are going to change on monthly basis & authorize business user ID for this "Autho group" , For rest of the price key create one different "autho group" and do not give this authorization to business.

Yes it is not a good practice to give such a sensitive TCODEs authorization to business persons, My suggestion is to create one customized program and ask business to do changes using that program & you can put any restriction you want in that program.

I already thought to have a customized program but I am struggling to find a stand BAPI for updating Rate category Facts and Price.

Issure resolved. Business Object PRICE can be used to change the Price value using method UtilPrice.HistoryChange.

Thanks
