• Key Concepts: 
  Bid decrement is a feature of the SAP MP-APP-DPE Dynamic Pricing Engine. It allows users to set a minimum price for their products and services, and then automatically decrease the price of those items in order to win bids. This feature helps businesses maximize their profits by ensuring that they are always competitive in the market.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the bid decrement feature, users must first set a minimum price for their products and services. This can be done by entering the desired price into the “Minimum Price” field in the Dynamic Pricing Engine. Once this is done, users can then set a bid decrement value, which will determine how much the price will be decreased for each bid won. The bid decrement value can be set as a percentage or as a fixed amount. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting a bid decrement value, it is important to consider the market conditions and the competition. If there is a lot of competition, it may be beneficial to set a higher bid decrement value in order to ensure that you are always competitive. On the other hand, if there is less competition, it may be beneficial to set a lower bid decrement value in order to maximize profits.
