When using sales trade agreements (without enabling pricing management features) it is possible to define a price unit !=1, to manage decimals beyond two digits.
E.g., if a price unit is 1000 and the price is 1234,56, unit prices on the sales order line will be calculated as 1,23456 for a single unit (even if it will only be shown with rounded values and two decimals).
After enabling Pricing management features, this option to control the decimals no longer works. It is still possible to define the price unit !=1, but this is not recognized in the price calculation nor the unit price applied on the sales order line.
Making Pricing management (and Unified pricing) compatible with price unit !=1 is needed for low value items. Also, it is a functionality which is highly used in SCM pricing.
As the price engine already calculates with more than 2 decimals (for discounts etc.), it should be an option to also consider more than 2 decimals for sales trade agreements as well.
If this is not updated, it could be a significant regression in pricing functionality and may deter customers from selecting the new pricing management/unified pricing features.
Comments
Value proposition:
This change would improve the functionality of pricing management by making them compatible with price units other than 1. This is particularly important for:
Managing decimals beyond two digits: Allows for greater precision in pricing, especially for low-value items.
Alignment with existing practices: Maintains consistency with existing functionalities used in Supply Chain Management (SCM) pricing.
Current limitation:
Enabling "Pricing management features" in Sales Trade Agreements currently disables the ability to use a price unit != 1. This leads to:
Loss of functionality: Users can no longer manage decimals beyond two digits.
Potential regression: May deter customers from adopting new pricing features due to limitations.
Technical feasibility:
Since the price engine already accommodates calculations with more than two decimals (for discounts etc.), extending this capability to pricing management should be technically feasible
