Indexing in Sales and Distribution (SAP Library

Indexing in Sales and Distribution

The indexing feature is used in an SD business process in the following ways:

In sales order creation, you can enter the index type and the indexing date on the Item business data: Details screen. If you do not enter an index type for an item, no indexing correction will be applied in billing. The indexing date marks the beginning date for the indexing correction to be applied later in billing. This date is taken to be the current date unless otherwise specified.

In billing, new pricing is carried out that applies an inflation correction to the net price. The end date of the correction is the billing date. All taxes and so on are calculated based on the corrected net price.

An indexing condition INDX must be incorporated into all relevant SD pricing procedures directly behind the net price condition (PR00). This entry should call the alternative calculation type 330 as shown below:
