Hi,

Let me put it in very simple words.

The reason for maintaining condition type in your pricing procedure determination is to avoid drilling down at the item level when you are in the sales order.

Okay, see what happens is against your pricing procedure you have many condition types, now you have to select the most common condition type, for which the value can be entered without drilling down at the item level -> conditions tab in the Sales order.

By having the condition type at the sales order overview screen you can directly enter the amount under the amount field against each line item and it will reflect in conditions tab against your condition type at item level. This saves time and you dont have to drill down at itm level whenever you want to put rates for this condition type.

There's no more significance for that field.

Hope you are satisfied.

If you are, please dont forget to reward points for contribution.

Regards

Ravi

Pricing Procedure will determine price in Transaction level i.e say Sales order. But in the case of credit management, it will ensure that the customer is in credit limit. In simple term, credit management can be similar to credit card, say having limit of Rs.1,00,000/-. It will be ensured that we can use the credit card only upto a limit of Rs. 1,00,000/-.

Pricing Procedure:

Determination of Pricing Procedure:

In SD, Pricing Procedure is determined based on Sales Area (Sales Organization + Distribution Centre + Division) + Customer Pricing Procedure + Document Pricing Procedure through T.Code: OVKK. 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.

Configuration of Pricing Procedure:

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.

Hi Venkat,

when posting a question please make sure you mention the subject which relates to your query instead of a "hello" because contributors can easily understand the issue.

Coming to condition type field in OVKK(pric proc determination), you can enter the value of the condition type specified here in the sales order screen directly instead of going to item condtions. When you scroll rightside of the item you will find a column amount where you can enter the value of the condition you specified in OVKK. Normally a list price conditino PR00 is used here. You can even use other condition also.

Credit management is to overlook how much credits are being given to customers and wahts the payment history so that proper actions can be taken to avoid business loss. Pricing procedure is to calculate the prices, discounts, freights and taxes for the items you are selling to customers.

Hope it helps.
