Q.) if a company located in Europe is operating in 15 countries across the globe with sales offices and storage locations in each country.Obviously tax differs from coutryt o country.So how many pricing procedures are required to map the busines reuirements..

I expect you to give some ideas to map this.

hi,

The following aspects are of significance for controlling pricing

Condition type

Using the condition types, you define which types of prices, discounts, and surcharges exist in the SAP system. The condition types which are pre-defined in the standard SAP delivery system include:

customer-specific discount

freight charge

material surcharge

price list price

Condition table

In the condition table, you specify the combination of fields for which you want to create a condition record.

For example, you can create a condition record for a price which is dependent on:

sales organization

distribution channel

division

customer

Access sequence

The access sequence is a search strategy with which the SAP system searches for valid condition records for each condition type during pricing. The access sequence refers to the fields which are relevant for pricing using the condition tables contained in the access sequence.

Using the access sequence, you can control that the SAP system first of all searches for a customer-specific price and then for a price list price.

Pricing procedure

In the pricing procedure you specify the condition types which are to be used in pricing. At the same time, you define the sequence in which the condition types are to be brought into play.

Which pricing procedure is valid for a business transaction depends on the following criteria:

customer

sales document type

sales area

You also need to take the following points into account:

Pricing for a document item depends on its item category . You must make the appropriate settings for all item categories for which pricing should be carried out. Pricing is not activated, for example, for free of charge items.

Also, check how the copying of pricing data is controlled in the SD documents (document flow).

For example, you specify in the document flow how prices are copied from a sales order into a billing document.

In addition, you must define master data fields which are relevant for pricing.

For example, you must specify a price group for a customer if you want to use this price group for pricing.

Define the degree of responsibility your employees have for conditions.

If the cost price is to be determined during pricing, you must classify the item categories appropriately.

Note

You define pricing for each sales area. You can use sales area assignment to apply the same pricing rules to more than one sales area. (see Section "Define common master data").

pls reward points if the answer is helpful

Hi CP

Particularly for ur requirement only one Pric, Procedure is enough.

In ur pri proce u must be using tax condition type.

While creating condition records maintan diffrent tax code for diffrent countries, it will solve ur problem. Just you need to map ur tax code as per countries tax percentage.

Maintain the condotion table with fields

Country,

Customer tax classification and

Material tax classification.

Reward if it adds info.

Regards

Rohit.

Hy u need to maintain separate tax for each country and also price you can maintain .

price is determined by the master records u have i.e form Customer , Material ,Condition

as well as price should be assign per each sales area in combination with CPP and DPP.

In SD, Pricing Procedure is determined based on Sales Area (Sales Organization + Distribution Centre + Division) + Customer Pricing Procedure + Document Pricing Procedure. Sales Area is determined in Sales Order Header Level. Customer Pricing Procedure is determined from Customer Master. Document Pricing Procedure is determined from Sales Document Type / Billing Type (if configured). Once the pricing procedure is determined, Condition records are fetched. If appropriate condition records are found, the price is determined. If Mandatory pricing condition is missing, system will through an error message.

In SD, the steps to configure Pricing procedure are as under:

Step 1:

Condition table: If existing condition table meets the requirement, we need not create a new condition table. Considering the requirement for new condition table, the configuration will be done in spro as follows: IMG --> Sales & Distribution --> Basic Function --> Pricing Control --> Condition Table (select the required fields combination, which will store condition record).

Step 2:

Access Sequence: If existing access sequence meets the requirement, we need not create a new access sequence. Considering the requirement for new sequence, the configuration will be done in spro as follows: IMG --> Sales & Distribution --> Basic Function --> Pricing Control --> Access Sequence (Access sequence is made up of Accesses (Tables) & the order of priority in which it is to be accessed. Here we assign the condition table to access sequence.

Step 3:

Condition Type: If existing condition type meets the requirement, we need not create a new condition type. Considering the requirement for new condition type, the configuration will be done in spro as follows: IMG --> Sales & Distribution --> Basic Function --> Pricing Control --> Condition Type. It is always recommended to copy an existing similar condition type & make the neccessary changes. Here we assign Access sequence to Condition type.

Step 4:

a. Pricing Procedure: It is recommended to copy a similar pricing procedure & make the neccesary changes in new pricing procedure. Pricing Procedure is a set of condition type & arranged in the sequence in which it has to perform the calculation. Considering the requirement for new Pricing Procedure, the configuration will be done in spro as follows: IMG --> Sales & Distribution --> Basic Function --> Pricing Control --> Pricing Procedure --> Maintain Pricing Procedure.

b. Pricing Procedure: After maintaining the pricing procedure the next step will be determination of pricing procedure. Configuration for determining pricing procedure in SPRO is as follows: IMG --> Sales & Distribution --> Basic Function --> Pricing Control --> Pricing Procedure --> Determine Pricing Procedure.

5. Condition record: Condition record is a master data, which is required to be maintained by Core team / person responsible from the client. During new implementation, the condition records can be uploaded using tools like SCAT, LSMW, etc. Condition Record is maintained in T.Code: VK11 / VK12, which are captured in Sales Order & Billing.

It is assumed that document pricing procedure, customer pricing procedure , ... are in place.

If the pricing calculation apart from taxes are similar, it can be addressed in single pricing procedure. We can maintain the tax condition type for each country & based on condition record, appropriate tax can be picked. I have already configured & experience one pricing procedure working for 8 countries.
