Rates from SAP CRM and Planning at the Product Segment Level

To configure condition generation optimization if the origin of the condition rates is SAP Customer Relationship Management (SAP CRM) and planning is done at the product segment level, make the following settings in Customizing for Customer Relationship Management under Master Data Conditions and Condition Technique Condition Technique: Basics Create Access Sequences .

When condition rates come from SAP CRM and planning is done at the product segment level, exception products cannot be added to the trade promotion. However, if you want to reuse the same access sequence for planning at the product segment and product level, at the product category and product level, or at the product group and product level, the Customizing settings of the access sequence are critical. When planning at the product category and product level or at the product group and product level, exception products can be added to the trade promotion and condition generation optimization will only be possible if the access sequence is set as described in the following table.

If All of the Following Is True	Then
In Customizing, you have defined a condition table that contains the Product field and, optionally, a condition table that contains the Product Category field. The same discount amount will apply to all products of the product segment. The conditions will be generated at the product or product category level, depending on the condition table that you have defined in Customizing.	For short-term pricing conditions, the Campaign field is always part of the condition table in Customizing. Since the condition table contains only one multiple-value field, exception products from product groups or product categories can be added to the trade promotion and condition generation optimization will work with this access sequence and these product levels. For long-term conditions, the Campaign field is never part of the condition table. Since the condition table does not contain any multiple-value fields, exception products from product groups or product categories can be added to the trade promotion. However, the conditions are generated at the product level, because for long-term planning, no optimization takes place when generating conditions.
In Customizing, you have defined a condition table that contains the Product Segment field. The same discount amount will apply to all products of the product segment. The conditions will be generated at the product segment level. Recommendation Do not use these Customizing settings for the rebate (`BO`) usage.	For short-term pricing conditions, since the condition table contains two multiple-value fields (Product Segment and Campaign), product exceptions from product groups or product categories cannot be added to the trade promotion and condition generation optimization will not work with this access sequence. For long-term conditions, the Campaign field is never part of the condition table. Since the condition table contains only one multiple-value field, exception products can be added to the trade promotion and condition generation optimization will work with this access sequence and these product levels.

If All of the Following Is True

Then

In Customizing, you have defined a condition table that contains the Product field and, optionally, a condition table that contains the Product Category field.

The same discount amount will apply to all products of the product segment.

The conditions will be generated at the product or product category level, depending on the condition table that you have defined in Customizing.

For short-term pricing conditions, the Campaign field is always part of the condition table in Customizing. Since the condition table contains only one multiple-value field, exception products from product groups or product categories can be added to the trade promotion and condition generation optimization will work with this access sequence and these product levels.
For long-term conditions, the Campaign field is never part of the condition table. Since the condition table does not contain any multiple-value fields, exception products from product groups or product categories can be added to the trade promotion. However, the conditions are generated at the product level, because for long-term planning, no optimization takes place when generating conditions.

In Customizing, you have defined a condition table that contains the Product Segment field.

The same discount amount will apply to all products of the product segment.

The conditions will be generated at the product segment level.

Recommendation

Do not use these Customizing settings for the rebate (BO) usage.

For short-term pricing conditions, since the condition table contains two multiple-value fields (Product Segment and Campaign), product exceptions from product groups or product categories cannot be added to the trade promotion and condition generation optimization will not work with this access sequence.
For long-term conditions, the Campaign field is never part of the condition table. Since the condition table contains only one multiple-value field, exception products can be added to the trade promotion and condition generation optimization will work with this access sequence and these product levels.
