4. PRICING (PG)
This concept is based on condition technique.
It’s the combination of:
1) Condition Tables
2) Access Sequence
3) Condition Types
4) Pricing Procedure
1. Condition Tables: - Condition table contain the key fields for maintaining condition records. I.e. in other words condition records are stored in condition table.
Note: - A condition type can have multiple condition tables.
Note: - A condition table can be used for multiple condition types.
Defining condition tables: -
SPRO
Sales and Distribution
Basic functions
Pricing
Pricing control
Define condition tables [V/03]
Create condition tables
Enter a table number beyond 600
From the field catalogue, which is there on the right side of the screen select the required key fields.
To get the valid on / valid to fields while maintaining the condition records we need to check the field “with validity period”.
Go to icon Technical View
The fields which are marked, as footer field appears at the footer level at the condition records and the remaining fields appears at the key level.
Select the Icon Generate for generating the condition table.
To save the condition table, select the button Local object.
2. Access Sequence: - Access sequence is a search strategy with the help of which the system gets the valid condition records. It contains the required condition tables in the required order.
Note: - If required an access sequence can be used or assigned to multiple
Condition types.
Note: - The order in which the condition table are placed in access sequence
is important generally it is most specific to most generic
Defining Access Sequence: -
SPRO
Sales and distribution
Basic functions
Pricing
Pricing control
Define access sequences
Maintain access sequences
Go to new entries and define the access sequence.
Select the defined access sequence and go to accesses.
Go to new entries and place the condition tables in the required order
While placing the condition tables check the field “exclusive”. By doing so if the system finds a valid condition record in the first condition table it will not go to the next condition table
Select the condition table and go to fields the system gives the warning message “the field assignment has not yet been made” say enter till we get the fields.
Repeat the same step for all the condition tables and save it.
Note: - After defining the access sequence assign it to the corresponding condition type.
3. Condition Types: -
Defining condition types: -
SPRO
Sales and Distribution
Basic functions
Pricing
Pricing control
Define condition types.
Maintain condition types.
Functionality of a condition type: -
Access Sequence: - In this field specify the corresponding access sequence for the condition type.
Condition class: - It is the preliminary structuring of condition types.
Ex: - Surcharges or discounts and price
Plus/Minus: - If we specify negative here a condition type becomes discount and if we specify positive it becomes surcharge.
Calculation type: - Determines how the system calculates price discounts and surcharges in a condition type.
For Ex: - the system can calculate a price as a fixed amount or as a percentage based on the quantity, weight, or volume.
