When sales orders and store orders are transferred, prices and/or conditions can be transferred together with the order data. It is therefore possible to assign retail prices directly to the order and to use these, instead of the prices stored in the condition master data, in follow-on functions such as the delivery note or billing document. This is particularly important in the area of wholesale.

The function is used in the following areas:

• Sales orders
• Store orders

Orders are transferred as IDocs.

For both sales orders and store orders, the condition segments transferred to the IDocs in question are evaluated and transferred to the orders created in the SAP system. This can be done for both header and item conditions.

The inbound sales order IDoc is transferred to the dialog in order for a sales order to be created. During processing, any conditions determined during price determination in the order are overwritten by those which are transferred.

The inbound header and item condition segments can be modified via a user exit.

You can use a customer exit to check whether the SAP system allows the condition types in the inbound header and item condition segments to be processed further in the SAP system.

The IDoc segments "Header conditions" and "Item conditions" are processed in the inbound store order IDoc. The system enters certain structures. A maximum of four segments can be processed each time, and are transferred to the relevant fields of the structure.

The inbound header and/or item condition segments can be modified via a customer exit.

You can use a customer exit to check whether the SAP system allows the condition types in the inbound header and item condition segments to be processed further in the SAP system.

The structures filled in this way are then posted.

The inbound header and item segments can be modified using a customer exit. This enables you to convert the store condition type into a condition type used in the head office, for example.

For sales orders in wholesale this also means that freely defined qualifiers can be converted into an SAP condition type.

You can use a customer exit to check whether the SAP system allows the condition types in the inbound header and item condition segments to be processed further in the SAP system.

This can help you ensure, for example, that the external base price of an article is not transferred by mistake.

The system also checks whether the condition type received, and possibly modified, actually exists.
