Pricing Configuration: Steps

By admin on April 16th, 2013 in Configuration, SD | Leave a Comment

This page goes into detail on pricing configuration. If you would like an introduction to pricing configuration and its terminology, see the pricing configuration: overview page. Scenario: The client has a new customer which receives a 5% discount on all purchases. We will therefore set up a percentage (%) discount condition. (Note: There are existing conditions in the system for this scenario, however for learning purposes, we will go ahead and create our own.)

Step 1: Create condition tables

Transaction Code:

V/03

1.

Go to the transaction above

2. Hit enter. A list of fields from the field catalog will be displayed. These are a list of all the fields that you can choose (without any customization) 3. Select Sales Org, Material and Sold-to Party. It should look like this:

4. Select Generate (red/white button) and save Result: The condition table is created (mine was created as table 502).

Step 2: Create Access Sequences

IMG Path:

Transaction Code:

V/07

1.

Go to the transaction above scenario. Highlight K004 and select the copy icon.

2. It is standard practice to create new items by copying existing ones. I will copy access sequence K004 as it is similar to our 3. Rename your Access Sequence to Z001, and rename it to Material/Customer. Hit enter 4. Highlight Z001 and select Accesses on the left. 5. You will notice that a condition table already exists. Ideally we would want our condition table to occur before the existing one, as it makes sense to search a table with material and customer, before a table with only material. Hit the New Entries button 6. Enter 5, and 502 as the condition table. Hit Enter. 7. Select the exclusive indicators. It should look like the following:

8. Hit back, and save.

Result: Access Sequence Z001 is now created. The system will now first search in condition table 502. If nothing is found, it will move on to condition table 4.

Step 3: Create Condition Type

IMG Path: SPRO | Sales and Distribution | Basic Functions | Pricing | Pricing Control | Define Condition Types | Maintain Condition Types

Transaction Code:

V/06

1.

Go to the transaction above we will copy that. Begin by highlighting the K004 condition type and hit the copy icon

2. Similar to creating access sequences, create a new condition type by copying an existing one. K004 is similar to our purposes, so 3. Enter your condition type ID and name. Mine will be called ZDIS % Discount 4. Change the access sequence to the one created earlier (Z001)

5. Change the Calculation Type to A. This will ensure that it is percentage based.

6. There are many more options to explore on this screen. For our purposes though, we will save them for another time. Hit Save. Result: Condition Type ZDIS has been created and linked to access sequence Z001

Step 4: Create Pricing Procedure

IMG Path: SPRO | Sales and Distribution | Basic Functions | Pricing | Pricing Control | Define and Assign Pricing Procedures | Maintain Pricing Procedures

Transaction Code:

V/08

1.

Go to the transaction above ZVAA01.

2. As with other configuration steps, create a new pricing procedure by copying an existing one. I will copy RVAA01 and call it 3. Highlight the line and select Control data on the left panel 4. Since this is a discount condition, it should be placed in the same area as other discount conditions (i.e. before the Discount Amount subtotal). Highlight any other discount line and select the copy icon 5. Change the step to 150, and Condition Type to ZDIS.

6. Hit enter and Save Result: Pricing Procedure ZVAA01 has been set up.

Step 5: Set up Pricing Procedure Determination

The final step to the configuration process is to set up the pricing procedure determination. This ensures that the sales order will use our new pricing procedure.

1.

Go to the transaction above procedure. It should look as follows

2. Create a new entry and add the pricing procedure (ZVAA01) to your sales area, document pricing procedure and customer pricing

: Pricing Procedure determination has been setup. When your sales order is created now for that sales area, it will use the newly defined pricing procedure.
