You can use any of these standard discounts to create condition records. During automatic pricing, the system considers the discounts that apply in the circumstances and searches for valid condition records. In the case of discounts that refer to a group of some kind (for example, material and price groups), you must assign the group in the corresponding customer or material master record before automatic pricing takes place.

Further Information

For further information on these discounts, contact your system administrator. The system administrator will be able to tell you how the the individual discounts are set up in the system. You can also, during sales order processing, branch from each pricing element in the document to screens that give you more information. You can see, for example, some of the data - the relevant condition record and pricing scale information, etc. - that the system uses to calculate a pricing element.
