Often there is a need to analyze the prices of counterparties in order to adjust your own prices or set the price for a new product.
Moreover, not only your supplier or buyer, but also a competitor can act as a counterparty.
In this article we will look at the process of price analysis in the 1C: Trade Management program, ed. 10.3" using the example of a study of competitors' prices.
Creating a business partner and price types
Each company whose prices you want to analyze must be created in the “Counterparties” directory.
Menu: Directories – Contractors (buyers and suppliers) – Contractors
Let's add a new counterparty and indicate its name:
If you plan to interact with a new counterparty - buy goods from him or, conversely, sell - check the appropriate “Buyer” or “Supplier” flags. And also fill out other necessary details.
If you need a counterparty only for price analysis, and you do not plan any interactions with him, then filling in the name will be quite enough.
Click the “OK” button to save the counterparty and close it.
In addition to the counterparty itself, you need to create its price types. We want to compare our wholesale prices, so for each competitor we need to create a "Wholesale" price type and set prices. For other price types (eg small wholesale/retail/distributor), separate price types for each competitor would also be needed.
Let’s open the directory “Types of prices for the items of counterparties”.
Menu: Directories – Nomenclature – Price types for counterparty nomenclature
Let's create a new type of counterparty prices and fill in:
- Counterparty - Competitor.
- Name – Wholesale prices.
- Item price type – the price type of our organization with which we want to compare the counterparty’s price. In this case, this is the wholesale price.
- Currency – in which prices will be set. You can select any currency, since when comparing prices, they are all converted into one currency selected in the report.
- Prices include VAT - a sign that VAT is included in the price.
Click the “OK” button to save and close the price type
Important: be sure to specify the price type of the item, otherwise the program will not understand at what priceat the costIn our organization, we plan to compare competitor prices.
Setting competitor prices in 1C
To set counterparty prices for goods, use the document “Setting prices for counterparty items”.
Menu: Documents – Pricing - Setting prices for counterparties' items
Let’s create a new document and fill in the counterparty “Competitor”.
After specifying the counterparty, you can fill in the types of prices to be set. To do this, click on the selection button in the “Price type” field, in the selection window that opens, set the flag for the wholesale price and click “OK”.
Example of a completed document:
Analysis of competitors' prices in 1C
To analyze competitors' prices, use the "Price Analysis" report.
Menu: Reports – Pricing – Price Analysis
In the report, it is better to select the type of prices that you want to analyze, otherwise the program will display all the information at once.
To set up selection, click on the “Settings” button, go to the “Selection” tab and select the price type – “Wholesale” (you can also use quick selections on the form).
On the report form, also set the currency in which you want to analyze prices.
Example of a generated report:
The report on the left displays all products for which wholesale prices have been set. Below are the prices of our company and the date of their installation (01/16/12).
After your own prices, the program one by one displays information about all established prices of competitors. The counterparty's price and its deviation from our price as a percentage are indicated. If the deviation is positive, then the competitor’s price is higher than the company’s price. Conversely, if the deviation percentage is negative, then the competitor’s price is lower than your price.
Thus, you can enter the prices of several of your competitors in the program. After this, you can conduct a price analysis and adjust your price if necessary.

The report is intended for a comparative analysis of prices for goods from various counterparties, including the company’s own prices.
The report is generated in the form of a cross-table, the row headings of which are product items (products), and the column headings are counterparties. The report is generated for a specific date at the prices that are recorded in the information registers “Item prices” and “Counterparty prices”.
To generate a report, you can specify those price types in the “Item Price Types” directory for which the company’s prices were registered. At the same time, for comparison, those types of prices of counterparties are displayed for which the selected type of item prices is indicated in the directory “Types of prices for the item of counterparties”.
If the price type is not specified in the report settings, then the analysis will be carried out for all prices registered at the enterprise and for counterparties.
To compare prices, all prices are recalculated in relation to the base unit of measurement of the item and to the currency selected in the report settings.
Using this report, you can analyze the deviations of counterparties' prices from the company's prices. To analyze deviations, you need to set the flag in the indicator “Deviation from the company price in %”.
For groups of counterparties and items, average prices for contractors and item groups are displayed, as well as average percentage deviation values.
By setting the grouping by price registration date, you can see the date when the current price for a given product was registered.
Often there is a need to analyze the prices of counterparties in order to adjust your own prices or set the price for a new product.
Moreover, not only your supplier or buyer, but also a competitor can act as a counterparty.
