JOP Item Price Adjustment

Overview

JOP provides tools to efficiently maintain customer-specific JOP Item pricing. The full workflow consists of two integrated steps:

1. Propose Price Adjustment — Calculates new prices based on an adjustment factor.
2. Apply Price Adjustment — Updates the actual JOP Item prices once reviewed and approved.

This unified workspace allows users to:

• View all calculated price proposals
• Manually adjust proposed prices when needed
• Run the print preview to validate changes
• Apply the price updates safely in a controlled step

Both functions are fully integrated into the page JOP Items Price Adjustment. To access the page, open the Tell Me search (🔍 Search) and enter: Price Adjustment, then select the result “JOP Items Price Adjustment”.

Propose Price Adjustment

The Propose Price Adjustment function helps you calculate new pricing suggestions for all selected JOP Items using a percentage-based adjustment factor. This allows you to efficiently apply price increases or reductions across multiple records at once, while ensuring consistency.

When the process runs, a price adjustment line is created (or updated) for each matching JOP Item, storing the currently valid price and the newly proposed price side-by-side for review.

Use this function when you want to:

• Increase or decrease JOP item prices by a fixed percentage (for example, +3% annual adjustment or −2.5% price reduction).
• Prepare new prices for review before applying them to production.
• Work only within your responsibility center and production department, according to your user setup.

Options

• Adjustment Factor (%)
  Defines the percentage increase or decrease to apply to the current item price. Positive values increase prices, negative values reduce pricing.
• Unit Amount Rounding Precision
  Determines how the adjusted prices are rounded (e.g., 0.01 for cent rounding).
• Overwrite Existing Prices
  If enabled, already proposed prices will be replaced with new calculated values. If disabled, only items without a previously proposed price are updated.

Based on the user's Responsibility Center and Production Department configuration, only the items relevant to the current user are included in the calculation.

Result

The updated prices are stored in the JOP Item Price Adjustment table. No pricing changes are made to the JOP Items themselves during this step, ensuring that all proposals can be reviewed before being applied.

After reviewing the proposals, use the Apply Price Adjustment function to update the active JOP Item pricing.

Apply Price Adjustment

The JOP Items Apply Price Adjustment report is used to review and apply previously calculated price changes from the JOP Item Price Adjustment table to the live JOP Item records.

Typically, this report is run after using JOP Items Propose Price Adjustment, once the proposed prices have been checked and approved.

Use this report when you want to:

• Review the list of JOP Items with their old and new unit prices.
• Optionally update the Unit Price in the JOP Item master data.
• Clean up applied price adjustment lines so the table only contains open proposals.

The report can be used both as a print/preview report and as an update routine, depending on the option you select on the request page.

1. The report reads records from JOP Item Price Adjustment using the defined filters and your user restrictions.
2. For each adjustment line, it displays:
   • Customer information
   • JOP Item information
   • Unit Price (current price)
   • New Unit Price (proposed price)
3. If the option Update Prices is enabled, the report:
   • Retrieves the related JOP Item (by Customer No., Customer Group Code, Code).
   • Compares Unit Price with New Unit Price.
   • If the prices differ, it:
     • Updates Unit Price on the JOP Item with the value from New Unit Price.
     • Saves the JOP Item.
     • Deletes the corresponding JOP Item Price Adjustment line.
   • If the prices are identical, no change is made and the adjustment line remains.

If Update Prices is not enabled, the report only prints / previews the list of proposed price changes without modifying any data.

Filters and User Restrictions

On the request page, you can filter the adjustment lines for instance by:

• Customer No.
• JOP Item Code (Code)

In addition, the report automatically restricts the data based on the current user:

• Responsibility Center is filtered to the user’s Sales Resp. Ctr. Filter.
• Production Department Code is filtered to the user’s JOP production department.

This ensures you only apply price adjustments for items within your authorized area.

Options on the Request Page

Update Prices

Update Prices
Specifies whether the report should actually update the JOP Item prices.

• Enabled — The report updates Unit Price on the JOP Item and deletes the processed JOP Item Price Adjustment lines.
• Disabled — No data is modified. The report acts as a review / printout of current and proposed prices.

This allows you to run the report first in “review mode” (Update Prices = No) and then again in “apply mode” (Update Prices = Yes) once you are satisfied with the proposals.

Typical Workflow

1. Run JOP Items Propose Price Adjustment to calculate and store new prices in JOP Item Price Adjustment.
2. Review and, if needed, manually edit the proposed New Unit Price on the JOP Item Price Adjustment page.
3. Run JOP Items Apply Price Adjustment:
   • Filter to the relevant customers / items.
   • Initially set Update Prices to No to print/preview.
   • Check the report output.
   • Run again with Update Prices set to Yes to update JOP Item prices.
4. After prices are updated, the processed adjustment lines are deleted, keeping the JOP Item Price Adjustment table clean and focused on open proposals.
