Hi Prabudh

Greetings!

Let us go by the simplest of all terms!!! What is a pricelist? You go an electronics dealer asking for a TV set. You find a lot of pieces classified on manufacturers, discounts, features etc etc...Finally, you come to one stage wherein you decide to select one set based on how much you are willing to spend on the TV set. What do we do? We go to the Sales guy, ask him for the Price list.

So, as it defines, a price list is a document that lists the price of all / selected materials based on specific parameters. It may be based on manufacturer, features available, based on tax rates etc etc. The same is applicable for every product.

In SAP, there is a standard feature of classifying the prices based on Customer (for ex, a loyal customer gets a maximum discount applicable), Customer groups (a group of companies that are applicable for a specific price), materials (some specific materials may be restricted to a particular price only) etc..

Basically, it all depends on the business perspectives of the Customer using SAP. It also depends if the business is a Wholesale, Retail etc. or supplying to such Agents etc. In a nut shell, a Price list is a list that contains the prices of various products of the company classified under various parameters such as discussed above.

Hope it is clear enough. In case, the business perspective is clear, the technical aspect of SAP might be more clear. Kindly revert back in case of any more clarification required.

Prabudh,

In the standard R/3 System, the basis of pricing during sales order processing is the gross price of a material. The following kinds of price are predefined:

-> Material price

-> Price list type

-> Customer-specific price

Selecting from Competing Pricing Records

During automatic pricing, the system looks for a gross price. Since you can store different kinds of pricing information in the system, pricing records can compete with each other in certain circumstances. For example, in addition to a basic material price, you may have a special material price for a particular customer.

In the standard R/3 System, the system selects the most specific record - the customer-specific price. If no customer-specific price exists, the system looks for a valid price list type. If no valid price list type exists, the system takes the basic material price. This search strategy is determined during system configuration in Customizing for Sales and Distribution. For further information, see Access Sequences.

Material Prices

When you create a material price, you specify:

-> A price or a pricing scale for a specific material

-> A combination of sales organization and distribution channel for which the material price is valid.

In Customizing for Sales and Distribution, you can specify that pricing information assigned to a particular combination of sales organization and distribution channel can be shared by other combinations. For more information, see the online Implementation Guide.

Price List Types

Depending on your company’s pricing policies, you can define your own price list types to suit the needs of your business. For example, you can define price list types by customer groups (wholesale, retail, and so on) and by currency (price lists for each foreign country you deal with). Condition records are created for each price list type. You do this using the same organizational data as for material prices (sales organization, distribution channel). You can then assign price list types to each customer in the their master record.

Customer-Specific Prices

If you give special prices to different customers, you can create customer-specific pricing records. In addition to the same organizational data you enter for material prices (sales organization, distribution channel), you assign the pricing record to a specific combination of customer and material.

Hi Tiwari,

You can define price list types according to the needs of your own organization. Price list types can be grouped according to:

the kind of price list (for example, wholesale or retail)

the currency in which the price appears

the number of the price list type

You can use price list types to apply conditions during pricing or to generate statistics.

In the customer master record, enter one of the values predefined for

your system. The system proposes the value automatically during sales

order processing. You can change the value manually in the sales

document header.

XD02 > sale area data > sales > price list

Reward points pls.

Govind.

SD - basic functions - pricing - maintain price relevant master data fields. This is the menu where you can make the configuration for price list types.
