Pricing in Service Contracts (SAP Library - Customer Service Processing (SD-SLS-OA))

Pricing in Service Contracts

Use

In service contract processing, you can use the following types of pricing:

Standard Pricing for the monthly service fee such as the fee for the maintenance of a photocopier

Contract-specific price agreements for the monthly service fee

In this case, you can define a condition record for the monthly fee directly in the service contract.

Price Agreements for services and materials not covered by the monthly service fee such as prices for spare parts

Pricing for standard service products

If you are using standard service products that are configurable or configured, then you can use the special pricing functions for these products. For example, you can create condition records for specific characteristic values. In addition, you can make pricing conditional on certain configurations. For more information, see Variant Conditions in Sales.

Price Changes

You can change the prices in a contract if the time periods have not yet been billed. To change prices retroactively for a period that has already been billed, you must manually cancel the corresponding invoice. The price changes then take effect when you create the new invoice.

Passing the Contract Value to Other Applications

After pricing for a service contract has been carried out in Sales and Distribution (SD), the final value of the contract can be used for the following kinds of processing in other applications in the SAP System:

Statistical analysis in the Sales Information System (SIS)
Cash management and forecasting in Financial Accounting (FI)
Credit Management in FI
