How can your organisation efficiently adjust its pricing strategy when prices are constantly changing? More and more organisations are facing this challenge. In recent years, market changes, including the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine, have had a major impact on companies. The corona pandemic caused economic uncertainty and disruptions in the supply chain, forcing companies to adjust their prices more and more often to changing demand and rising costs.

In addition, geopolitical tensions due to the war in Ukraine have led to rising commodity prices and trade barriers, resulting in severe inflation. Never before have companies had to change their pricing so often to remain profitable due to these changing market dynamics.

Overcoming challenges with price changes in SAP

However, implementing these price changes can be a challenge, especially when it comes to managing complex price structures and keeping track of changes in SAP. This is experienced as complex, technical, error-prone and time-consuming.

Companies can be faced with complex price structures such as price lists, discount structures, volume discounts, seasonal prices and contractual agreements. The correct management and modification of these structures in SAP is often an IT-technical matter and time-consuming.

It is important to ensure that the correct prices are applied to the correct products, customers and sales channels. Incorrect management of this data can lead to errors, double entries and inconsistencies in pricing.

Efficient and integrated

Price changes often have a broad impact on various business processes, such as sales, purchasing, inventory management, invoicing and financial reporting. To invoice and report the correct prices, it is important to ensure that price changes are implemented correctly.

To tackle these challenges, it is important to have a well-integrated and automated solution. A solution that works seamlessly with SAP and that makes it possible to implement price changes efficiently and accurately for the entire company.
