Is it possible for me to create a formula in an item field that will calculate the savings between the sales price and base price of an item?

I’m creating item fields for Coupa and one of the fields is “savings %” I’d like to be able to provide that percentage is applicable, can I do it? if so, how can I call the base price and sales price fields?

I’m assuming the Sales Price is a custom price level you created. I was able to do this by creating an Item field defaulted/sourced from Saved Search results.

The Formula(Percent) I used was… ({baseprice} – {pricelevel8})/NULLIF({baseprice},0)

{pricelevel8} is the custom price level I named “Sale Price”, where the value “8” is the Internal ID of the customer price level record.

Let me know if this helps.

Sales Price is the “Online Price”, going to be using this to pull a product feed carrying the savings %

Just tried it, the field pulls blank data. Do I need to have the base price in my product feed as well in order for the formula to work?

the item field has the formula code, “formula” is checked and I unchecked “store value”

I did not do this by entering the formula in a field. I did this via Item Search where there was no criteria, and the only thing under results was Formula (Percent), then set summary type to Maximum, and entered the Formula. I also Sorted by the Formula (percent) and set Internal ID as an Available Filter. I then set the Saved Search on the Custom Item Record.

If you don’t how to set up a Search to use on the the custom field then the below Suite Answer may prove to be helpful.
