Update price
After an agreement price has been recalculated you have to update the recalculated price to display the new current price.
A batch program runs through all of the agreement prices in the system and checks whether the new agreement price has been reached. The current price is replaced by the new price, and the new price field is set to zero.
The batch program need not be executed for the new price to be valid when entering a service order into the system. The order entry program always checks the valid date for the price and retrieves the correct value.
