Hi,

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.

Hi,

This concept is based on condition technique.

It is the combination of:

1) Condition Tables

2) Access Sequence

3) Condition Types

4) Pricing Procedure

1. Condition Tables: - A condition table contains the key fields to maintain the condition records. i.e. in other words condition records are stored in condition table.

Defining condition tables: -

SPRO

Sales and Distribution

Basic functions

Pricing

Pricing control

Define condition tables [V/03]

Create condition tables

Enter a table number beyond 501 and below999.

From the field catalogue, which is there on the right side of the screen select the required key fields.

To get the valid on / valid to fields while maintaining the condition records we need to check the field “with validity period”.

Go to icon “Technical View”

The fields which are marked, as footer field appears at the footer level at the condition records and the remaining fields appears at the key level.

Select the Icon “Generate” for generating the condition table.

Save the condition table, select the button Local object.

2. Access Sequence: - An access sequence is the search strategy to find the valid condition records. Access Sequence contains one or more accesses. You specify an access sequence for each condition type.

Defining Access Sequence: -

SPRO

Sales and distribution

Basic functions

Pricing

Pricing control

Define access sequences

Maintain access sequences

Go to new entries and define the access sequence.

Select the defined access sequence and Click on “Accesses”.

Go to new entries and place the condition tables in the required order.

While placing the condition tables check the field “exclusive”.

By doing so if the system finds a valid condition record in the first condition table it will not go to the next condition table.

Select the condition table and go to fields the system gives the warning message “the field assignment has not yet been made” press enter till we get the fields.

Repeat the same step for all the condition tables and save it.

3. Condition Types: -

Defining condition types: -

SPRO

Sales and Distribution

Basic functions

Pricing

Pricing control

Define condition types.

Maintain condition types.

4. Pricing Procedure: - Pricing procedure contains all the required condition types in the required order.

Defining Pricing Procedure: -

SPRO

Sales and Distribution

Basic functions

Pricing

Pricing control

Define and assign pricing procedures

Maintain pricing procedures

Go to new entries and define the pricing procedure.

Select the defined pricing procedure and go to control data

Go to new entries and place the required condition type in a specified order.

Step: - Specifies the number that determines the sequence of a condition type with in a procedure.

Counter: - Specifies the sequence number of a condition type with in a step in the procedure.

Condition type: - Specify the condition type.

From & To: - If you specify the reference steps in these fields, the condition values of the two steps specified and the condition values of the steps in between are totaled.

Manual: - If we check this field the condition type is only included in determination either if they are entered manually or if they are transferred from an external process such as costing.

Mandatory: - Indicates whether a condition type is mandatory when the system carries out pricing using the pricing procedure.

Statistical: - This indicator causes a condition type to be set in the document statistically only.

Print ID: - Controls the issue of condition lines when printing the documents such as order conformations or invoices. [X]

Sub Total: - Controls whether and in which fields the condition amounts or subtotals are stored.

Requirement: - For the condition type to be executed in the sales document the requirement specified here must be satisfied. [2]

Alternative calculation type: - Specifies the alternative formula to the calculation type in the standard system that determines a condition.

Alternative condition base value: - Specifies the formula for determining the condition basis as an alternative to the standard.

Account key: - This field along with few other fields enables the system to post the sales values to different General Ledger Accounts.

Accruals: - This is exclusively for rebate condition types. [B001 & B002]

Key, which identifies various types of General Ledger accounts for accruals posting.

Pricing Procedure Determination: -

SPRO

Sales and Distribution

Basic Functions

Pricing

Pricing control

Define and Assign Pricing Procedures

Define Pricing procedure determination [OVKK]

We have to assign the pricing procedure to the combination of

Sales Organization

Distribution Channel

Division

Document Pricing Procedure from material master and

Customer Pricing Procedure from customer master Data.

I hope it helps.
