This characteristic contains information about the price level group. A price level group contains up to 10 price levels for a validity area. The validity of these price levels in SAP R/3 ends on the same date. Each price level has information about the price threshold and price band category. In addition to the price levels, the price level group also contains the following attributes: price-level group category, currency, validity, and deletion indicator. In this case, deletion is independent of SAP R/3. There is a deletion report in SAP R/3. In SAP BW, deletion depends on whether there is any transaction data. If a record that is set for deletion does not have any transaction data, the record can be deleted from SAP BW as well.
