If you’ve been doing VC for a while, you might remember the days when nothing worked without an OSS note, performance was terrible, and it took discipline to build a model that would work for sales and manufacturing. I remember those days fondly. Well, pricing was no different. That’s why I wanted to put this quick tip out there for you. If you do variant pricing, a way to improve your performance is using the dependency group : SAP_PRICNG (no, I didn’t misspell pricing. ha ha ha). You simply need to add this into configuration.
SPRO–>Logistics General–>Variant Configuration–>Dependencies–>Define Groups
Once you add this dependency group, be sure to add this to all of your pricing object dependencies. What this will do is it will only fire the dependency if you call for pricing. Of course, this will depend on your configuration profile settings as well, but it does give you the opportunity to improve your performance.
Hope you find this useful,
As always, if you need any help in Variant Configuration or you are looking for some great applications to make your SAP life easier, please let me know.
thanks,
Mike
