  Pricing Procedures

Use

The primary job of a pricing procedure is to define a group of condition types in a particular sequence. The pricing procedure also determines:

  • Which sub-totals appear during pricing

  • To what extent pricing can be processed manually

  • Which method the system uses to calculate percentage discounts and surcharges

  • Which requirements for a particular condition type must be fulfilled before the system takes the condition into account

    Example Example

    Example of a Pricing Procedure

    If a sales department processes sales orders for a variety of foreign customers, the department can group the customers by country or region. A pricing procedure can then be defined for each group of customers. Each procedure can include condition types that determine, for example, country-specific taxes. In sales order processing, you can specify pricing procedures for specific customers and for sales document types. The system automatically determines which procedure to use.

    End of the example.

Pricing Procedures in the Standard Version of the SAP System

The standard system contains pre-defined pricing procedures, which contain frequently used condition types along with their corresponding access sequences. You can, of course, modify these procedures or create your own from scratch.
