Define Pricing Procedure
Select the pricing procedure which is the standard and copy it and create our own pricing procedure.
Highlight it and double click the Control icon in the LHS screen.
We can see that there are 16 columns in the pricing procedure, these are going to be used by the system to control the condition types.
The detail description of each column is given below.
Step:
Number that determines the sequence of the conditions with in a procedure.
It indicates the position of the condition type in pricing procedure.
Ex.: 10, 15 etc.
Counter:
System uses the counter to count the steps and also it can be used to count mini steps of same condition types. So that number of steps can be reduced in the pricing procedure and hence enhancing the system performance.
Access number of the conditions with in a step in the pricing procedure.
During automatic pricing, the system takes into account the sequence specified by the counter.
Condition Type:
It represents pricing element in pricing procedure as a base price, discount, freight and tax.
The condition type is used for different functions. In pricing, for example, the condition type lets you differentiate between different kinds of discount; in output determination, between different output types such as order confirmation or delivery note; in batch determination, between different strategy types.
Ex.: PR00 - Price
K004 - Material Discount
K005 - Customer/Material Discount
K007 - Customer Discount.
Description:
System copies description of condition type from its description (V/06).
From and To:
1. From: This can be used as a base to the condition type for calculating further value.
2. From and To: The range between the steps from and to can be used to specify the range between same condition types. So that depending upon the condition type, the system deducts or adds the total value of those condition types from specific common source.
Manual:
This indicator specifies whether the specific condition type can be determined manually during sales order processing.
If we check the box then the entry is going to be manual, if we uncheck it, it is going to be automatic.
For Base Price and Taxes, the entry should be automatic.
For Discounts and Freights, The entry should be manual.
If we check the box, in VA01 when we go to conditions at the header/item level, the condition type will not be listed. If we require we will have to manually enter it.
If we uncheck the box, in VA01 when we go to conditions at the header/item level, the condition type will be listed.
Mandatory:
This indicator specifies that particular condition type is mandatory in the pricing procedure.
If we check the box, then in VA01 at the header/item level in the conditions tab, if we delete the value in the condition type and try to save the document then system will not allow us to do it and throws an error.
If we uncheck the box, then in VA01 at the header/item level in the conditions tab, if we delete the value in the condition type and try to save the document then system will allow us to save it, without giving any error.
Mandatory check box should be checked in condition types which are compulsorily required in pricing procedure. Ex.: PR00, MWST.
If the condition type is checked with mandatory option, then value should be maintained for that condition type, otherwise the system will not allow the user to process the document.
Statistical:
This indicator if it is activated will not allow the value of the condition type to be taken into net value calculation.
It is used only for information purposes only.
This indicator causes a surcharge or discount to be set in the document statistically (that is, without altering the value).
This is commonly used for condition types
SKTO - Cash Discount
VPRS - Cost (Moving average price/Standard Price).
Print:
The value of this field specifies whether line item can be printed or not in the sales document and at what level it is to be printed.
Subtotal:
The value of this field determines where the values of subtotals to be captured i.e. in which table and which field.
Controls whether and in which fields condition amounts or subtotals (for example, a customer discount or the cost of a material) are stored.
If the same fields are used to store different condition amounts, the system totals the individual amounts.
These condition amounts or subtotals are used as a starting point for further calculations. You may, for example, want a subtotal of all the discounts included in the pricing of a sales order.
Requirement:
It is a routine that is written by an ABAP consultant according to the business requirement.
By defining Requirement in condition technique we can restrict the access of condition type.
To understand the concept, we will take the example of the Rebates. Rebates are to be included during the billing document processing and not in the sales document processing. As rebates are given on the delivered quantity and not on the ordered quantity (in
