- Condition Record
Field Catalog
The list of fields that can be used as a base for pricing. That is to say, a list of fields which are used for how a price is determined.
Condition Table
A subset of the fields from the field catalog which will comprise the particular fields for that specific pricing scenario
Access sequence
The sequence in which the condition tables need to be accessed
Condition Type
The type of computation i.e. price, surcharges, discounts, taxes
Pricing Procedure
Place where all the condition types are together
- Pricing

5 types of condition types
Prices Discounts Taxes Freights Surcharges
Pricing Procedure Field: Subtotals
A summation of multiple condition types. Used when you want to store the sum of certain condition types to then use later.
Pricing Procedure Field: Manual
Conditions that can only be inputted into the order manually
Pricing Procedure Field: Required
Condition type is mandatory
Pricing Procedure Field: Statistical flag
Not used in calculating the price
Pricing Procedure Field: Requirement
Determines whether the condition type is applied or not
Pricing Procedure Field: Calculation routine
Custom routine to compute the price or the value of the condition type
Promotion
For generating higher sales in a specific time.
Particularly useful for retailers who sell in physical stores as well as e-commerce.
Defined for specific period
Can have multiple sales deals
Works like a condition type
Sales Deal
A representation of a promotion
Defined as a group of two or more condition types executed during the order processing for the promotional period
Defines a marketing deal for a certain product
Rebates
Rebate agreement is a special agreement granted to the customer on a specific volume of sales over a specific period of time.
Sales deal assignment
You assign promotions in the “Assignment” section of Sales deals creation/change
Sales deal assignment
You assign promotions in the “Assignment” section of Sales deals creation/change
Sales deal break down
The type of sales deal i.e. Z8C1 annual sales
Condition types for the sales deal Z8C1 i.e.
Z8CK Freight Discount, Z8D7 A/S by Mat Group
The condition records for said condition type which is based on a key combination/condition table
i.e. Condition record 1 for Z8CK based on Material group, for sales deal type Z8C1
Rebate Configuration
Define agreement type
Define condition type group
Maintain the category of the condition type group
Assign condition types and condition tables to the condition type group
Assign agreement types to the condition type group
Condition types and condition records for rebates vs for discounts
Rebates have condition type groups, whereas discounts only have condition types
Rebates accrue whereas discounts are one time bangs
Pricing reports
Put together information from condition records, condition types and condition tables according to various different criteria.
Customer Hierarchy
Used to apply pricing elements to a collection of customers
Hierarchy partners functionality
The partners functions from the higher level customer get passed down to lower level customer at the sales document header level
Customer Hierarchy Configuration
Configure Hierarchy type
Set partner determination for hierarchy categories
Assign account groups
Assign Sales areas
Assign Hierarchy type for pricing by sales document type
Hierarchy nodes placement
Hierarchy nodes are not put into the customer master, but are put into the sales document
Customer hierarchy partner functions source
Can only come from the sold-to
Condition Exclusion
There might be a scenario’s where system determines records for more than one condition type in the pricing procedure. In order to avoid this we can set up conditions or a group of conditions to be mutually exclusive.
Condition Exclusion Configuration
Define condition exclusion groups
Assign condition types to exclusion groups
Maintain condition exclusion for pricing procedure
Group conditions
Some conditions to be used as the scale base value or the condition value taking all related items of the business document into account.
For a group condition to be effective..
the items must belong to a group
Reference condition types
Condition type that references another, thus only the main condition type requires condition records
Hierarchy Access
Using one condition table with one access
Hierarchy Access: Free fields
Fields which act as optional fields during condition record maintenance, allowing any number of combinations of characteristics for an access.
Header condition
Does not have access sequence like item conditions (typical condition type) therefore, you don’t maintain condition records and thus are manual conditions
Group conditions always work on…
Total order quantity
Exclusion group
A container for condition types that need to be compared during condition exclusion
Exclusion method A
Multiple condition types compared and best condition record is chosen, the rest are discarded
Exclusion method B
All condition records for 1 condition type are compared, the best is selected with the others deactivated
Exclusion method C
Best condition record between two exclusion groups
Exclusion method D
If condition record is determined for the first exclusion group, then condition records for the second exclusion group are deactivated
Exclusion method E
Similar to method B, but now highest price will be chosen
Exclusion method F
Similar to method C, but the highest price will now be selected
Exclusion method L
Similar to A, but giving the highest price
Free Goods
Free Goods in SAP is giving certain material/quantity as free of charge based on Order quantity
Types of Free Goods
Free Goods are of two types in SAP, Inclusive Free Goods and Exclusive Free Goods
Inclusive Free Goods
If the Free Goods quantity is a part of Order quantity, it is said to be Inclusive Free Goods. Also, called inclusive bonus quantity.
Example: Buy 10 get 1 free is the Policy. Customer is charged for 9 qty. only and one is given free.
