The primary job of a pricing procedure is to define a group of condition types in a particular sequence. The pricing procedure also determines:

• Which sub-totals appear during pricing

• To what extent pricing can be processed manually

• Which method the system uses to calculate percentage discounts and surcharges

• Which requirements for a particular condition type must be fulfilled before the system takes the condition into account

Example of a Pricing Procedure

If a sales department processes sales orders for a variety of foreign customers, the department can group the customers by country or region. A pricing procedure can then be defined for each group of customers. Each procedure can include condition types that determine, for example, country-specific taxes. In sales order processing, you can specify pricing procedures for specific customers and for sales document types. The system automatically determines which procedure to use.

Pricing Procedures in the R/3 System

The standard system contains pre-defined pricing procedures, which contain frequently used condition types along with their corresponding access sequences. You can, of course, modify these procedures or create your own from scratch.

Creating and Maintaining Pricing Procedures

You create or maintain pricing procedures in Customizing for Sales. For more information on creating pricing procedures, see the online Implementation Guide for Sales and Distribution.

To reach the pricing procedure screen from SD Customizing:

1. Choose Basic Functions

-> Pricing -> Pricing control -> Define and assign pricing procedures.

2. Select the transaction that you want to execute.

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: -

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

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.
