Deletion of Price groups for Customers

[Former Member]

Dear SAP SD Gurus,

I have a request from the Cusomter to Delete a List of the "Price Groups FOR Customers".

These Price Groups are already used in Various Sales Documents.

in such a Scenario, Would it be safe and advisable to delete the Price Groups?

i tried in a Training System, if the Price Group is deleted, and the Sales Document containing it is visited in change mode and he Specific field is stimulated, it gives Error in theDocument.

Eagerly Awaiting ur reply.

Regards,

Hi santa

Remove the data from the customer master and also remove the same from the order header.

If the no of customers is large then use tcode XD99 for mass maintainence, bt u have to remove the data from the exixting orders

Hope it solves ur query

Detailed Explaination!!

If you dont need to use the price groups for set of customers. you can very well delete it ( you can do it in MASS, to make it blank, if the volume is high).

In std, changes in CUstomer Master in price group, will not effect in previous documents ( until unless, if you used any enhancement, while performing any transaction such as invoice, to read it from Customer Master instead of previous sales order)

Hi Reazuddin,

So u mean to say that,

i can Proceed to delete the "Price Groups of the Customers" from SPRO, although they are present in the Sales Documents.

Why you want to delete it from th IMG -?

There would be Inconsistency may occur if the same pricing groups used by in some other customer masters OR in any incomplete documents, which you would like process after deletion.

instead,

you can remove from the Customer Master - VD02,

if the volume is high, then use Tcode:MASS.

Hi Reazuddin,

Thansk a lot for the info......

but could you please tell me if the deletion would cause any inconsistency in the Existing, Complete Orders.

Thanks in Advance.

[reazuddin_md]

Yeah,

If you delete these price groups from IMG Customization screen.

Then, if you have written any coding based on Pricing group will get effected,

If there are reports required based on pricing group, you will not get it.

So better would be, not to delete the price groups from IMG, instead remove it from the customer master from whom they are not required or relevant.

Do you have any problem, removing these field value from Customer Masters?

Dear all,

Actually i do not have any problem deleting the Data from Customer master.

it is just that the customer wants to delete "Price groups for Customers" from the the System.

I have infromed my customer that it isnt advisable.

Thanks a lot for your help again.
