Pending Questions:
- Are Products in Core always exclusively GBU specific? ie, the quoting tool being developed will only use Products where GBU = Novecare? Yes
- Are the Novecare GBU products used by any other GBU? No
- Is the Active/Inactive value of Products currently being used? Yes
- What is the "Generic Product" checkbox supposed to represent?
- Used to allow linking Opps to Products that do not really represent a "sellable" product - for interim stages of the Quoting/Selling process
- Exclude these Generic Products from the Quoting Process...
- Are Level lookups filtered by Level? No
- Are Level lookups filtered by GBU (only a GBU level 4 can be parent of a GBU level 5) No
Product
What Products need to be "quotable" - Level 5 only
Product Owner
Product object is currently Public Read/Write - given that there is a reference to Product Owner and Ownership concept does not exist in the standard Product object - this means that:
there is no way to define a “Product Owner” or “Product Manager” - new lookup to User object required;
is Product Owner/Manager supposed to be the only one able to edit the fields in the Product?
If so, the Product object needs to be changed from Public Read/Write to Public Read-only (this may bring consequences at SAP integration level that need to be analysed).
Manufacturing Plant - confirm that Utilities records in Core where Type = Plant and Involved GBU includes Novecare - correspond to the needed Solvay Manufacturing Plants for Novecare
- what specific data from the Manufacturing Plant is required for the purposes of calculating Quote prices?#
- Country / Region
Shipping Plant -ie, Warehouses - this is only relevant to calculate the Logistics and Duties variable Costs
what are these? does this mean that the Manufacturing Plant can be different than the Shipping Plant for a specific customer Order, and as such affecting the prices (which would in turn need to be reflected in the Quote sent to the Customer via SF?)
- what specific data from the Shipping Plant is required for the purposes of calculating Quote prices?
Price floor
- Defined on a per Product/Plant basis (same product coming from 2 different plants can have 2 different values on Price Floor)
- What format? Currency? Currency per UOM (EUR/KG)
- Price Floor is a fixed value that is calculated based on:
- Product Level 5 + Manufacturing Plant
- only depends on Product - no relation to Market or Region nor Logistics and Duties
Price Floor will be inputted in SF directly per Product Level 5 combination with Manufacturing Plant
Variable Manufacturing Costs
- Will be captured in Manufacturing Plant custom junction object
- Format = Value + Currency + Product UOM
- One number field to capture Value
- Currency will be standard field
- Product UOM will be a formula field retrieving UOM from Product in Manufacturing Plant object
Order Fulfillment (MTO/MTS)
What is this? a Lookup? a text field?
Product Levels 1/2/3
Already existent in the Product object
Product Status
Defined by Active TRUE/FALSE checkbox on Product object?
Product Code (PRS)
What is this? a Lookup? a text field?Product Code (RCS)

Customer
Ship To - how will this affect pricing in Quotes?
Incoterms - how will this affect pricing in Quotes?
Region
As a Global picklist value set
Price Policy Versus Price Floor
Pricing Policy - computation that starts from Margin Policy (captured at Product Level 4 - varies according to Region, Market and Product); Marketing Directors will be maintaining the Margin Policy
- plus Variable Manufacturing Costs (depends only on Product)
- plus Duties and Logistics Costs (depends on Customer location and Incoterms)
Price Floor
- it is a fixed value that is calculated based on:
- Product Level 5 + Manufacturing Plant
- only depends on Product - no relation to Market or Region nor Logistics and Duties
Price Floor will be inputted in SF directly per Product Level 5
