Acorn Systems Price Check™ for SAP- Pricing is one of the most important and strategic decisions a company makes.
An SAP® xApps™ Certified Solution for Automated Pricing Compliance
More and more, companies are finding that they are generating revenue while racking up losses. Why
is this happening? Often the answer goes back to pricing – a lack of pricing compliance. Prices are set
based on many complex factors, but if the established pricing guidelines aren’t followed, profit margins
can quickly turn into unprofitable sales.
Prcie Check Benefits
• Ensures compliance with negotiated prices/terms and corporate policies
• Automates and streamlines the order compliancy process within the SAP® environment
• Validates sales orders against your price-book and factors in discounts as well as
cost-to-serve information
• Submits and releases “in compliance orders” automatically thru the mySAP™ ERP system
• Automatically flags orders out of compliance and routes them to sales management and
finance for review
• Allows sales management and finance to approve or decline the order to complete the order cycle
Stop Losing Money on Out-of-Compliance Orders
Price Check works out-of-the-box with mySAP ERP to monitor all incoming orders, and on an exception
basis, route out-of-compliance orders to sales management and finance for their review, action, or
approval. This newly released composite application leverages SAP NetWeaver®’s role-based workflow
and Acorn’s deep expertise in delivering cost-to-serve pricing and order, product and customer profitability
analytics to identify orders that are out of compliance with established pricing guidelines.
Monitor and Manage Pricing to Maximize Profitability

Check delivers real-time analytics at the point of decision making
