Change sold-to party

Former Member

Hi,

I've got a question regarding change of sold-to party on a sales document. After changing the sold-to party we get the option to 'Redetermine' or 'Do not determine'. We are not able to see any differences between these two option, and we can't find any documentation.

We know that if we choose Redetermination, the following data is redetermined:

- All business partners and data that arise from the sold-to party

- Texts

- Free goods

- Prices

- Output

- Profitability segment

- Customer master data (including the fields for Brazil and Argentina)

- Data from the sales information record (such as the customer material number)

- The system redetermines the plant if the system reads info records according to the sales order type, or the ship-to party changes

- The system redetermines shipping points and routes if the shipping conditions change

It looks like the same data gets redetermined if we choose 'Do not determine', so what is then the purpose of 'Do not determine'?

Does anybody know?

Thanks!

BR,

Hi there,

Your understanding is correct. Sold to party is a critical field in SAP & system will prompt re-determination when you change any critical fields. But see the below cases

For eg 1) you define price records that for sales org INxx / material ABC, price is $10. If your new customer is also in sales org INxx & material is same, price will obviously be same. Same with Tax. If you define your tax basing on sales org & your new cust is from same sales org, tax will be same.

2) Plant is determined from cust-material info record -->customer master --> material master. Usually plant is defaulted from material master as it is not maintained in the previous 2 steps. So even if you change the cust, unless you have a different cust-material info record or different plant is maintained in cust master record, plant will be same. Ditto for shipping point. If your old & new customer have same shipping condition, shipping point will be same.

So check the condition records for condition types & check the determinations. If your old & new ship-to is from a totally different regions only then you will see the change.

Hai

Think logically. The factors which you have listed when SP is changed which will get redetermined are based on SP

E.G Price For a customer A you have material X to be priced at Rs 100

Now you are entering a sales order for customer A For material X for 1 QTY so the price will be Rs 100

Now you are changing Customer as B in your sales order ,naturally if you have maintained the price of material X as Rs 90 for B , your sales order price changes to Rs 90

In your case what is happening is both the customers have the same parameters maintained so you are not able to see any difference in data

have different price procedures for 2 customers and then see

Hi,

Thanks for your answer.

We can see that the price is changing when we change SP from A to B if we choose 'Redetermine'. The price is also changing if we choose 'Do not determine'. So what is the difference between the two options?

Hi there,

Further to my response, the final price determined is from various condition types. Not just the PR00. So if you change the Sold-to & choose donot redetermine, values of some other condition types (like regional discount) may change. This will inturn effect the final price.
