Structure of the pricing procedure

The procedure consists of 16 columns and field value maintained in each column controls the working of the procedure

1. STEP : The sequence number be liberal for selecting steps such a way that you maintain deliberately some gaps so that editing becomes easier. Ex: 10,20,30,etc.,

2. CNTR : Condition counter a mini step within step Ex : Mini steps 1,2,3 within step 30

3. CTYPE: Condition type which is to be accessed or provided value in the teip

4. DESCRIPTION : The description of the condition as maintained in the definition of the condition type

5. FRO : From indicates a particular step whose value is referred for calculation the condition value in another step.

6. TO : To integrates again the step but here both from and to steps will be used from and to when used together system will add the condition values of all the steps within this range example. Fro : 100 To : 299 The value total discount which is appearing in the step number 300 the value is calculated adding the values. These are calculated in steps 101 to 299 (101 to 300)

7. MAN : Manual . The condition value will be entered manually during pricing.

8. MDT : Activate this box for those condition types whose values are critical in the pricing example : Basic price, tax

9. STAT : Statistical : If the condition type is activated as statistical then the condition value will not be after the calculation or will not be used in the calculation

10. P : Print : Select u2018Xu2019 then the value can be printed in the document

11. SUB : Indicates the field which is automatically updated in a particular table (further control purpose / statistical)

12. REQT : Requirement : The requirement specifies a particular condition only when that condition is met this system will use the condition type in the pricing. Ex : Tax, the requirement is 10 which means plantset, if plant is not determined in the order system will not search for tax value

13. ALTCTY : Alternate calculation type : The system can use a predetermined calculation method to calculate the condition value.

14. ALTCBV: Alternate condition base value : The system again uses a equation to re-fix the condition base value (Mostly relevant for header level)

15. ACTKEY : Acount Key : The account key maintained against the condition type will identify the GL a/c for posting (To be discussed in detail during billing)

16. ACCRLS : Accruals : Accruals account keys used for posting rebate accruals /provisions.

Hi there,

Pls refer http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_03/helpdata/EN/de/7a8534c960a134e10000009b38f83b/frameset.htm

for pricing.

Apart from there there are some condition types that are region specific like VAT & excise tax in India. Get the required details from the business before you configure the condition types & maintain them in your pricing.

Hello,

Depends upon the business process. Many times the pricing conditions will be created newly for some special pricing functions. So the requirements will be there to create new tables, access sequences, pricing procudure config ...etc.
