System and Methods for Revenue and Impact Analysis of Price Protection and Price Caps

摘要

The present invention relates to systems and methods for analyzing the impact of price protection and price cap terms in an integrated price management system. In some embodiments, the method includes negotiation of price protection and price cap terms. Next the method enforces the price protection and price cap terms. This enforcement may include applying and/or overriding the term on a manual price change or upon a mass price change. These terms are then analyzed for price leakage by product, by deal, by customer and by sales representative. This analysis may include the generation of a waterfall diagram for the deal. Adjustments for all price protection and price cap terms are generated (a price protection adjustment and a price cap adjustment) and these adjustments are then applied to the waterfall.
