Resource Price Changes window.With this batch job you can create suggestions for changing the
alternative unit prices for resources in the Resource Price table on the basis of the unit price
on the resource cards. When the batch job has been completed, you
can see the result in the Resource Price Changes window.
There is also another batch job that you can use to create suggestions for new prices: Suggest Res. Price Chg.(Price).
The batch job only creates suggestions; it does not process the changes. If you are satisfied with the suggestions and want to implement them (that is, to insert them in the Resource Price table) you can use the Implement Res. Price Change batch job.
You can define what is included in the batch job by setting filters. You can set additional fields on the Resource tab by clicking the Field field and then clicking the AssistButton that appears to the right. You can also determine what is included in the batch job by filling in the fields on the Options tab. Fill in the fields as follows:
No.: Here you can specify the resources to be included in the batch job. To see the existing resources, click the Filter field, and then click the AssistButton that appears to the right.
Resource Group No.: Here you can specify the resource groups to be included in the batch job. To see the existing resource groups, click the Filter field, and then click the AssistButton that appears to the right.

Only Amounts Above: Here you can enter an amount to determine the lowest unit price that will be changed. Only prices that are higher than this will be changed. If a price is lower than or equal to this amount, a line for it will be created in the Resource Price Changes window, but with the same unit price as on the resource card.
Adjustment Factor: Enter the factor that the prices will be multiplied by (for example, 1.2).
Rounding Method: Enter a code for the rounding method that will be used to determine the new prices. To see the existing rounding methods, click the AssistButton that appears to the right of the field.
Create New Prices: Place a check mark in the check box if you want the batch job to create new price suggestions (for example, a new combination of currency, job number and/or work type). If you only want to adjust existing alternative prices, do not insert a check mark.
