2-step pricing in SAP IS Retail means setting a base price at the Distribution Center (DC) and then adding store-specific markup at retail locations. This differs from cost-plus or adding markup twice.
"2-step pricing" in retail merchandising refers to a pricing method where the final retail price is built in two stages: first the Distribution Center (DC) cost is established, then a store-level markup is added on top to arrive at the shelf price. This differs from a single-step calculation where markup/margin is applied once directly to cost. The other options either mislabel the components (Cost + Margin, or Store margin + Cost) or describe a double markup, which is not what 2-step pricing means in retail systems terminology.
