Create Future Prices

To create multiple base prices that you can use on a future date, you can run the future price additions version of the Base/Price Maintenance - Batch program. This version of the program writes new price records to the F4106 table that are based on the effective dates in the price additions processing option for this program. You must specify a from date and a through date or the program ends without creating the new prices.

When you run the future price additions version in proof mode, the system generates a report that displays the updates that the program makes to the selected records when you run it in final mode.

The system creates future prices based on the existing price with the greatest expiration date. Depending on how you set the processing options, the program either overrides the existing price with a new price that you specify or calculates an adjustment to the existing price. The adjustment can be an addition, subtraction, or percentage adjustment. If you leave the adjustment type and factor blank, the system copies future prices from the current price and does not apply any adjustments.
