How to handle different currencies in trade agreements for one vendor

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by 57

Hello all,

I have the following issue and I hope that someone of you might have a smart idea of how this could be solved.

Purchasing department is negotiating prices with some vendors in different currencies (e.g. primary currency of vendor is EUR, some prices are negotiated in CHF). The result is that we have trade agreements for this vendor mainly in EUR, but for some items, the currency is CHF.

As a result, there will be no trade agreement price on the Purchase order (EUR), if the item only has a trade agreement in currency CHF (for this vendor). Additionally, no vendor will be put in the Planned purchase order - which is the main issue. Is there any smart way or idea of considering trade agreements with different currencies in this context?

I know that there is a function for the trade agreement relation Price (sales) - Include generic currency that can be activated on the trade agreement, but this is only valid for sales prices.

Does anyone of you had a similar requirement or has a smart idea how this could be handled or solved? Any input is highly appreciated!

Thank you in advance!

Fabian

    Hy Fabian,

    for resolving the issue with currency on the PO I don't believe there is a way out, you need to have a trade agreement in the currency you want to use for a vendor. It also makes sense to negotiate prices for that currency you operate with the vendor.

    It looks like you search your vendor for Planned purchase orders with trade agreement. This is one option. If you setup a standard vendor at the released product (Purchse settings) this vendor should be found and used for Planned Purchase Order. Futhermore coverage setting at the item could also provide a specific vendor to be used.

    Hello Andreas,

    thank you for your feedback!

    Regarding the currency on the Purchase order, a customized information message might be the solution to go to inform the user that there is a trade agreement fitting the vendor-item combination, but with a different currency. Then the Currency of the Purchase order can be updated on the header, where the user can select to update also the trade agreements.

    Regarding the vendor on the Planned purchase order, the problem is that we have multiple vendors per some items, therefore we cannot define a standard vendor on the released product or the coverage setup.

    So as far as I understood, we must make a customization to somehow fit these requirements. An idea would be to scan the list of planned purchase orders with empty vendor, check for fitting trade agreements with different currencies and writing this vendor in the planned purchase order.

    But if there are any other smart ideas coming up, I would highly appreciate any kind of input.

    Regards

    Fabian
