Hi Reddy,

Pricing procedure is key element in the SD point of view

based on the pricing procedure the structure of the product price will takes place.

Pricing procedure is defined with set of condition types which are arranged in a sequence manner.

1. In SAP SD first and foremost thing is define the condition table, here you need to select the fields from the field ctalog,

based on this fields only you are going to maintain condition record.

T.Code V/03

2. Condition type is one of the pricing element like discount,Frieght,Price,Rebate,tax ...etc.

3. Access sequence is a searching activity, we will put condition tables in the access sequence.Access sequence will search from specif to general.

access sequence we need to assign to the condition type.

Ex; if you have two tables in access sequence one table is cintaining field Material second one having fields Material and Customer, in this situation access sequence will search condition record first for second table if not avail it will go for second table search.

T.code V/07

4.Pricing procedure will be determined at sales order based on these combinations Sales area Customer pricing procedureDocument pricing procedure+pricing procedure

T.code OVKK

Finally the logic involved in the pricing procedure is when you create sales order the pricing procedure will determine based on the Sales areaCustomerMaterial, after determining the procedure the system will find what are condition types available in that procedure then it will find the what are the access sequences those condition types are having, then based on the access sequences system will search the condition records, finlly system will fetch the data according to access sequence it will put in the Sales order.

I hope it will help you

Dear Mr Reddy,

I will suggest you to visit http://sap-img.com/sap-sd.htm. It will give you the overview of SAP SD module.

Condition Table:

A condition table defines the combination of fields (the key) that identifies an individual condition record. A condition record is how the system stores the specific condition data that you enter in the system as condition records. For example, when you enter the price for a product or a special discount for a good customer, you create individual condition records.

e.g basic price u want to get calculate based on customer/material...then u will create u will create condition table having these two fields (in std SAP we such tables)

Condition Type: It is nothing but the individual pricing elements in pricing procedure e.g. PR00 for basic price

Access Seq: An access sequence is a search strategy that the system uses to find valid condition records out off multiple defined condition record for a particular condition type

Pricing Procedure: Set of pricing element ie condition type to calculate the selling price of a product

Pricing Procedure:

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 (T.Code: V/04): 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 (T.Code: V/07): 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 (T.Code: V/06): 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 (T.Code: V/08): 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 (T.Code: VOK0): 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 (T.Code: VK11 / VK12): 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.

Also check document pricing procedure in Sales Document Type (T.Code: VOV8 - Sales order Type, VOFA: Billing Type (If Required)), customer pricing procedure in Customer Master Data (T.Code: XD02), ... are in place.
