SAP VOFM

I have a require where a text message will popup when a user tries to insert a new line item into an existing sales order. (VA02). This popup message is stored in customer master text field. I have a require to write small code using VOFM text.
The details are as follows.
have requirement from the business that whenever a user tries to add a line item to the existing sales order (VA02), a pop up message should appear as instruction. (No hard Stop). This message is stored in the customer master text information.
I have made all necessary config and need to complete this VOFM routine which I need to assign this to the access sequence of the text determination.
My config details are as follows;
Text ID created at both customer as well as Sales Item ZNLN
The access sequence object ID KNVV_ZNLN.
I need to add the appropriate code to say that whenever an insert of new line item in VA02, get a opp message whcih is stored in Customer master as text ID ZNLN. I have to add thhis in the following program.
FORM BEDINGUNG_PRUEFEN_900
USING BP_SUBRC.
*{ INSERT RS1K902605 3
BP_SUBRC = 0.
IF FTVCOM-VBELV IS INITIAL
OR FTVCOM-POSNV IS INITIAL.
BP_SUBRC = 4.
ENDIF.
*} INSERT
ENDFORM.
Will you help me in inserting the code as requested. I would really appreciate your help. Your earllu reply is highly appreciated.
Thanks for your help

Idoc Output Control Problem, Want to prevent IDoc creation

I want to prevent an IDoc from being simply created if a certain condition is not met. However if I set the sy-subrc = 4 and exit from the routine it still goes ahead and creates an outbound IDoc. Here is the code from the routine. I have debugged into the code and it DOES get executed when i change order info header from VA02. I have already debugged to make sure that the following piece of code does get executed and the SY-SUBRC does get set to 4 before the execution exits the Form given below. Please suggest what I m doing wrong?

endif.

ENDFORM.
FORM KOBEV_601.
*{ INSERT ECDK903987 1
Falls Verkaufsbeleg vollständig ist, soll Nachricht erzeugt werden
If the sales document is complete, then the output should be created.
*} INSERT
ENDFORM.

Wait. I think I have figured out part of the problem. The problem is that both the VOFM routine that I have written 603 is executed followed by standard SAP VOFM routine 002. Though I checked that the configuration for the output type that I m using ZBAO has the right VOFM routine number 603 set, it still does execute the Standard SAP VOFM routine 002 after executing my routine, which seems to override the SY-SUBRC = 4 that I have set. If I set the SY-SUBRC = 4 in debug mode in routine 002 then the IDoc doesnt get created.
Is there a way I can prevent it from executing the standard SAP VOFM routine 002?

Why SAP has provided the VOFM routines even though we do have User-Exits?

Hi Experts,
Pls. let me clarify about,
1) What is the difference between VOFM routines and User-Exits?
2) Why SAP has provided the VOFM routines, even though we are having User-Exits, BADIs?
3) Is VOFM is meant for only SD module or we also use VOFM in other modules too, like MM, PP?
thanq

Do be careful about asking questions that sound like interview questions...
> 1) What is the difference between VOFM routines and User-Exits?
VOFM are type of user exit.
>
> 2) Why SAP has provided the VOFM routines, even though we are having User-Exits, BADIs?

Historical. They were created before BADIs and CMOD user exits were invented. The other "old" user exits in SD are the user exit forms.

Allow partial quantity billing for billing plans - VOFM - SAP Note 726039

Hi Gurus,
I got one task, telling that copy that routine 23 into customized ex: 902 in VOFM. Then change the copying requirement for the corresponding item category in the copying control (Transaction VTFA).
reruirement is that the customer is paying cash in advance. Goods are partially delivered.
ex:
Order 10001206 creates a downpayment request for 10EA. A delivery is created for 2EA.
First clearing invoice 70700001 is created with billing quantity A in the copy control: A Order quantity less invoiced quantity. Hence the whole order quantity is considered for billing.
For the second clearing invoice 70700003 (the first was cancelled) billing quantity B is used in the coy control: B Delivery quantity less invoiced quantity. Hence 2EA are considered as billing quantity. For an item that has zero delivery quantity an invoice with zero billing quantity will be created ( the behavior we see).
Billing type : ZBAC
SalesDoc Type : ZSC
Item Category : zsak, zszs, zsao etc.
They are telling the Solution like this.
the quantity to be billed is calculated from delivery quantity minus the already billed quantity during the billing of a billing plan date
Pls help me, I never used VOFM for enchancement.
As an abaper what we have to do for this task,
Thanks in advance.
Kiran.

VOFM - Vales not getting changed in the Screen

Hi,
I am working on the VOFM routines and want to change the condition value for gross price using the same.
I have created the routine number 600 in the application V1.
I have put a breakpoint in the routine which is getting triggered. But when I try to change the value of the variable XKWERT, the
same does not reflect in the screen and it still shows the original condition value.
I read many posts on SDN and tried those suggestions, but in vain. What could be the possible reasons for the same.
Regards,
Sagar

Hi Madhumahesh,
Thanks for the reply. Please find below the code:
DATA : lv_kwert TYPE kwert.
FIELD-SYMBOLS : <lfs_xkomv> TYPE KOMV_INDEX,
 <lfs_tkomv> TYPE KOMV.
*calculate the value of Excise Duty
CALL FUNCTION '/BGT/ED_PRICING_PURCHASE'
 EXPORTING
 i_komk = komk
 i_komp = komp
 IMPORTING
 e_wert = lv_kwert.
IF lv_kwert IS NOT INITIAL.
 xkwert = lv_kwert.
*modify XKOMV
 LOOP AT xkomv ASSIGNING <lfs_xkomv> WHERE kschl = 'ZI11'.
 <lfs_xkomv>-kwert = lv_kwert.
 ENDLOOP.
*modify TKOMV
 LOOP AT tkomv ASSIGNING <lfs_tkomv> WHERE kschl = 'ZI11'.
 <lfs_tkomv>-kwert = lv_kwert.
 ENDLOOP.
 UNASSIGN : <lfs_xkomv>, <lfs_tkomv>.
ENDIF.
But after coming out of "Condition Value formula", these values are overwritten by the standard SAP code (as described above in earlier posts- by RETTKOMV in Include LV61AA55).
Kindly let me know what I'm missing in my code.
Awaiting for your valuable response.
Best regards,

Thank's in advance

Hello Rajendra,
You can get plenty of forums in SCN related to it. Follow below steps to create VOFM routine.
Go to VOFM Transaction Code
1. On the Menu Select required Application i.e Pricing
2. Enter any Number in between 600 to 999 for Custom Developments.
3. On entering Pop Screen appears ask for Access Key(We have to remember that Every New Routine needs an Access Key)
4. Once the Access Key is received we can do modification.
5. Enter the Routine Number ,description and insert the Access Key
6. Now the ABAP Editor will open and required code can be copied from Standard SAP Routine and Custom Code Can be developed.
7. Once the coding is completed we have to Activate the Routine
8. Select the Routine and Go to Edit – Activate
9. Ensure that Active check box is ticked upon Activation of the Routine.
10. Double click on the routine will enter into ABAP Editor, we have to generate the Routine
11. Go to Program and select Generate
12.A screen pops up with the related Main Programs and select all required main programs wherever the Routine is being called.
13. Once the Routine is Generated and Activated, We need to configure the Routine in the config.

Add a new field in va02,va03 and vf02 & data tran. in these fields VOFM

Hi All,
I have a requirement, I need to add a new field in the sales order header part and even a field in the billing document, once I add this field up in both the documents in the header part i need to create a copy routine using the VOFM transaction,
Can any body help me on what's the procedure to add a field in billing document as i dont find any screen exit for doing it and does the copy routine transfer the data ( Custom Field ) from Sales Order to the Billing Document, if yes can somebody help me with the procedure on how to and code of it.
Regards.

Hi,
The procedure to create the new VOFM.
1. Go to VOFM transaction
2. Page down until you find a new spot on the page to put in the VOFM number and description.
3. Put in the VOFM number and the description of the VOFM.
4. Now the VERY IMPORTANT part of the process. Double click on the VOFM description not the VOFM number to create this as a Development/Correction and not as a repair. If you double click on the number then this copies some existing code and prompts you for a repair.
5. Activate and generate the VOFM routine. Note: Configuration must be setup by the OM team for this step.
for example Go to the routine number that needs to be copied.
Put your cursor on the routine number field that needs to be copied.
Overwrite that number with your new routine number and hit enter.
The new routine will be created as a copy of the old routine and you can modify the new routine as you need it.
Ex.
You have to copy routine 104 to 904
Routine number Description Active
104 Bill.bus.item data X
Put your cursor on 104 and then change it to 904 and hit enter.
904 will be created as a copy of 104 and you can make your changes in 904.
Don't forget to activate it after you are done.

How to analyze routine in SD (VOFM)

Hi,
how to find out why a SD routine is developed and what its doing?
I'm preparing some specs and need this info.
all i knew is 5 routines RV60B900, RV60C900, RV45C900, RV45C911, RV45C912 have been developed......
I don't have knowledge on the SD routines. so pls help me in this.
thanks and regards,
Ravi.
poitns guaranteed!

Most probably these are copy control routines.
Copy controls routines are used when we create a document with ref to another. Code in these copy routines decide what values to copy from source document to target document.
For example if you are creating a delivery from sales order then one of these copy control routine will be invoked and which in turn will copy the values from sales order into your delivery.
Often customer defne their own copy control routines based on their requirement. After new copy control routine is defined in VOFM, it is then configured in SPRO. Where you can defined to use your custom copy control routine instead of sap standard one.
These copy routines can be defined for various document e.g. sales order, deliveries , billing doc.
Respectively they are configured in SPRO..
Just to give you an example for sales order you can configure in spro at following path
Sales and Distribution->Sales->Sales Document->Maintain Copy control for Sales Document.

Question about the requirement for goods issue from a delivery (VOFM)

Dear all
※Please note that this is related to the credit limit check.
I am trying to set up the SAP system, so that if the maintenance contract (rental document) is billed at least once,
the system would allow the user to bill the customer regardless of the credit usage (ex. 150%).
So I created the following routine for the credit check (in VOFM).
IF XVBAK-AUART = 'ZMZZ'. --> Please note that ZMZZ is the document type of our rental document
 LOOP AT XFPLT.
 IF XVBUK-FKSAK = 'B' or XVBUK-FKSAK = 'C'.
We will not do any credit limit check for this item line.
 MOVE CHARX TO BYPASS-SECURITY.
 MOVE CHARX TO BYPASS-STATIC_LIMIT.
 MOVE CHARX TO BYPASS-DYNAMIC_LIMIT.
 MOVE CHARX TO BYPASS-DOCUMENTVALUE.
 MOVE CHARX TO BYPASS-CRITICAL_FIELDS.
 MOVE CHARX TO BYPASS-REVIEWDATE.
 MOVE CHARX TO BYPASS-OPEN_ITEMS.
 MOVE CHARX TO BYPASS-OLDEST_OP.
 MOVE CHARX TO BYPASS-DUNNING_LEVEL.
 MOVE CHARX TO BYPASS-USER1.
 MOVE CHARX TO BYPASS-USER2.
 MOVE CHARX TO BYPASS-USER3.
 EXIT.
 ENDIF.
 EXIT.
 ENDLOOP.
ENDIF.
Now, with the routine above, it became possible to bill customers regardless of the credit usage.
However, when we try to ship (posting goods issue) the item for that maintenance contract, when the credit usage exceeds 100%, the system rejects it with the error message below.
<Error message>
Static credit check: credit limit exceeded
Now, I want to set up the system, so that if the posting goods is for the item which satisfies the following condition,
the system would not reject the posting due to the error above.
<condition>
1. The item is for the maintenance contract which was billed at least once --> this means that this is not a new contract
※Please note that for new maintenance contracts (which is not billed even once), the system should not allow to post goods
 issue if the credit usage exceeds 100 %.
I looked into VOFM, and found out that we are using the following routines for posting goods issue.
<system routine>
13
<user routine>
113
But I didn't know where the error (Static credit check: credit limit exceeded) came from.
Could you tell me how to find (or where to modify) a location where I can make the modification in order to
satisfy our requirement?
Thank you very much in advance

Dear all
I was able to solve the problem by setting up the credit check routine for delivery notes, and assign it for "No credit check" field
in the automatic credit control (OVA8).
So, thank you for your help, everyone

User Exits and VOFMs

I am looking for a document that suggests coding practices and rules that should be followed in User Exits and VOFMs in SAP R/3. Like value the variable XKWERT with the desired value in Pricing Condition Formula VOFMs, or never read an SAP defined internal table into the header line. Things like that. Does any one know of such a document?

Hi, this may help you.
User exits (Function module exits) are exits developed by SAP. The exit is implementerd as a call to a function module. The code for the function module is written by the developer. You are not writing the code directly in the function module, but in the include that is implemented in the function module.
The naming standard of function modules for functionmodule exits is:
EXIT_<program name><3 digit suffix>
The call to a functionmodule exit is implemented as:
CALL CUSTOMER.-FUNCTION <3 digit suffix>
To find a Exit.
Goto Transaction -- Find The Package
SMOD >f4>Use the Package here to Find the Exits In the Package.
Else if you Want to search by Application Area wise ,
There is one more tab to find the Exits in the Respective Application Area.
Implementing the Exit-- CMOD Create ProjectsAssgn your Component .
Now Run ur Transaction to Check if it Triggers.
Thats it..
Suppose you need to find out all the user exits related to a tcode.
1. Execute the Tcode.
2. Open the SAP program.
3. Get the Development Class.
4. Execute Tcode SE84.
5. Open the Node 'Envir. -> Exit Techniques -> 'Customer Exits -> Enhancements'
6. Enter the Development class and execute.
Check out this thread..
The specified item was not found.
1. Type the transaction : system->status-> <PROG. NAME>
2 open SE37 , type EXIT<PROG NAME> and press F4 to get the list of function exits available.
3. Open CMOD utilities->SAP enhancements
EDIT->All selections
4.type the function module name obtained in step 2, in fields 'component name' in 'additional selections' block. and execute.
5. The displayed list contains the enhancements names for the transaction You were looking for.
6. Create a project in CMOD and the code in default include->activate.

VOFM is the transaction where you can maintain Requirement routines, which are assigned through cusomization.
To create a routine you need access key & routine no. starts with "9".for ex. 901,902 etc.
one important thing to note that even if you have some syntax errors inside your routine, it will get activated without errors. So, you need to do Main Program check before activation.
Refer to SAP Note no : 327220,381348,156230.
goto VOFM tcode for wrting the Routines
from menu Requirements-> pricing
You can create the pricing related routines here
Use the Number from 900 only
take the acess key and try to copy the existing routine and change the code to your requirement and keep a break point and see
Activate it before execution

Activating a VOFM Routine

Hi Folks,
I have made a VOFM routine in data tranfer->Sales activities.I have activated the program and also the entry in "Maintain:Data transport sales activities" But still i am getting an error "No frame work was found for the Include RV44A601".I have no idea which configuration is missing now please help.I have also tried using SAP program RV80HGEN first and then Standard SAP program SDINVOFM used to identify and repair missing table entries in the VOFM control tables TFRM and TFRMT but in vain..:(
Attached are the screenshots.
Error:
Activated Program and Entry:
Thanks in Advance.

Abhishek,
There is no need to activate the standard programs like SAPLV43A or RV**NNN program separately when you are creating a custom routine.Once you register the Custom Routine in SAP Service Market Place you will get the SCCR key so that you can proceed with the coding.Once the coding you can activate the routine using RV80HGEN.This will activate the routine.To cross check whether the routine has got activated or not you can check if there is an entry with your custom routine program name in the corresponding RV**NNN program.This is only for confirmation and there is no need to separately activate other standard programs or transport these program along with your custom routine.
Running RV80HGEN will take care of activating the routine.The same activity needs to be done again once the TR is imported in the target client.
If you want to run RV80HGEN automatically ( instead of performing it as a cut over activity once the TR is imported to target client ) you can tag RV80HGEN as XPRA along with your custom routine in the TR and get this imported to target client.XPRA will set RV80HGEN for execution once the TR is imported to the target client.
You can refer to SAP Notes 86161 and 327220 for more info.

How to create own routine in VOFM or else where?

hi
please tell how I can create own routine in VOFM or else where?
I want to create
Condition formula for alternative calculation type
for my pricing procedure
(example -calulation type column in pricing procedure-routine no 12)
thank you

hi sudhir
in VOFM only.
go inside & select pricing in requriment.
create a new routine number from 900 & above.
for this you need an access Key & generate it from SERVICE.SAP.com
but you need SID for that.
and proceed with the logic with the help of an ABAPER & then every thing is compleleted then activate the routine created.
hope this clears your issue.

Sap sd faq's

send fa's in sd module

Hello Srikanth,
The following are few important FAQ's that i came across -
In R/3 you can represent a company's structure by defining and assigning corporate structure elements. What is the purpose of doing that?
Enterprise organization diagram. Chart showing the organizational structure of an enterprise, its organization units and how they are related. A combined structure can be created from the point of view of accounting, MM, SD. This structure forms a framework in which all business transactions can be processed.
Which three organizational elements make up a sales area and briefly explain their function?
Sales organization: An organizational unit that sells and distributes products, negotiates terms of sale, and is responsible for these transactions.
Distribution channel: Channel through which salable materials or services reach customers. Typical distribution channels include wholesale, retail and direct sales. You can assign a distribution channel to one or more sales organizations.
Division: Product groups can be defined for a wide-ranging spectrum of products. For every division you can make customer-specific agreements on, for example, partial deliveries, pricing and terms of payment. Within a division you can carry out statistical analyses or set up separate marketing.
Name the three internal organizational elements within a sales organization and briefly explain their function.

Rebate Agreement
1. Which agreement type I should consider, is this custmer rebate(0003), material rebate(0002) or Rebate on the basis of sales volume(0005), because here client is not offering rebate on Sales volume in rupees or dollar. He is only concerned with totat sales in kiloleter(Quantity). As per rebate agreement concern rebate is offered in percentage. Please guide me for my scenario.
If your distributors are fewer (far less than 900 materials) then you should go for only customer rebate.
2. Guide me for conditions types and scale basis for maintaining condition records.
When creating customer rebates (T:VB01) select customer rebate, there you will see a header tab: Conditions , click it add how many customers you want. For each customer you can create scale based conditions (under the heading tab :Scales).
3. Is it necesary to maintain condition record for every material and every customer defining the scale? Because in this scennario client is going for incentives scheme for each material and each customer (distrbutor).
No need to create condition record for every material if you create customer rebate.
Customer Master
How to create the customer master?
The following are the T-codes for central creation of customer master.
 XD01 Create Customer (Centrally)
 XD02 Change Customer (Centrally)
 XD03 Display Customer (Centrally)
 XD04 Customer Changes (Centrally)
 XD05 Block customer (centrally)
 XD06 Mark customer for deletion (centr.)
 XD07 Change Customer Account Group
 XD99 Customer master mass maintenance
 XDN1 Maintain Number Ranges (Customer)
You need to identify various parameters within each Account group based on which the reco account is identified within the customer master.
Customer master is basically divided into 3 tabs.
- General - General master details, Juristiction codes, Region, Transportation zone, export data, etc.
- Company data - payment terms, account management, reco account, insurance etc.
- Sales data - Sales product attributes, sales office, sales group, customer pricing procedure, Cust. Statistical grp,
 - Shipping data
 - Billing data
 - Partner functions.
You can create a customer based on 3 views:
1. For Account purpose
FD01/FD02/FD03 etc
2. Sales purpose
XD01/XD02/XD03 etc.
3. Centrally
VD01/VD02/VD03 etc.
What is the Function of item category and item category group?
Item Category determines the processing of any Item/material that we enter in a sales order and in this way it also effects the procesing of any sales doc in which it is used.
Item Category Group is one of the component which along with the Sales Doc Type, The Item Usage and Higher Level Item Category decide about the Item Category in a sales doc.
1. How can we know whether the customer is one-time or regular?
One can maintain Account Group for One-time customers. By which we can identify one-time customers.

The pricing procedure will reject the conditions in the sales order
3. Do header condition type have an access sequence?
No
4. Org structure:
 Relation between Company - Sales org
 One-to-Many
 Sales Org - Plants & company vs. Plants
 Company - sales org - credit control area
 What are sales area and its components?
Sales area consists of Sales Organisation, Distribution Channel and Division.
5. What are legacy systems?
The Existing system on which current system is working, from which the current system will be migrated to SAP system
6. What is cut over strategy?
Cutover strategy depends upon how the organizations design their data load strategies. Normally, you decide the sequence of Data loads for Configuration settings, Master data, Transaction data which follows whom and then you make a copy of the system as a Production system a day before and after checking the successful data loads, you go-live 100% or partial again depending upon organizational setup and policies.
Cutover planning is highly site specific. There's no thumb rule. The stock data as on the date of going live should be correctly entered. But stock being a highly dynamic quantity, the strategy for loading should be crystal clear. Then you have to load all the back dated transaction on the stock. Some stock comes into your plant/storage location as return and some stock is actually delivered to your customer through sales orders of various kinds.
7. What are Cumulative Condition Records?
There is a field:- "condition update" during configuration for a condition type (at v/06)... has it anything to do with cumulative condn. Records?
8. IF you have 3 different access sequences for one condition record then in a pricing procedure in what hierarchy will you maintain the three accesses?
In Condition Records (T Code VK11), you would be putting values to corresponding Condition Types. Now one Condition Type can be assigned to one access sequence. In Access Sequence, you can assign whichever tables and fields are required.
So in my opinion, you cannot have one condition record for 3 access sequences.
9. What happens in the access sequence when you put all the ticks in the exclusive field?
When you put tick in exclusive field of all access sequences, in my opinion, it will try to get available data from the first. Only in case, data is not available, will it move on to the next one.
10. What is meant by delivery group?
Delivery Group is basically grouping all individual deliveries for Billing. It should have the same Ship to Party, Shipping Point, etc.
SAP SD Tips by : Moyin
11. What triggers the automatic creation of PR or PO in case of third party sales?

What exactly is automatic posting can you explain?
Automatic posting could be, posting of accounting documents to FICO once invoice is created which can also be controlled manually. Automatiaclly detremine the freight while pricing in ship doc. and post to the relevant account to fico. usually automatic posting is posting of documents to FICO based on variuos account keys and account groups.
2. How many clients we will create in land scape (like in development server, quality server, production server )
 if we are creating more than one in each server what is exact use of that client.
2. Client landscape : Basic layout : dev -testing- production also
- Sandbox env. for trial and error
- Development env. for actaully creating transports(CTS)
- Global env. If you have global implementations at different client locations (eg; canada, US, UK) (for testing purposes with actual master dataas well)
- Testing env.(for regression testing purposes before moving to prodcution, integration etc..)
- Prod. env. the actual production system
The clients could be variable and could be created to a specific env. usually a dev. where abap, functional would mess around. say :
 client 100-functinal consultants
 client 300- abapers
 client 400- other users(like super etc)
3. How we will configure export sales in sd (respect to plants assign and sales process)?
4. How we can do invoice split depending on item category in which scenario we will use?
You first need to go for copying controls either from sales to billing (invoice) or delivery to billing or billing to billing
use transactions (vtaa,vtaf,vtla,vtfa,vtfl,vtff) all possibilities for copy controls. this basicly is flow of doc to doc. (may it be sales to billing, del to bil, or bil to bil etc..)
-> this is where you see the Item category and you control whether split is possible or not with the indicator"B". eg: representing split in invoice based on item category. The field here "data VBRK/VBRP" (headre/item)whcih actually is used for splits or combining different deliveries. create a splitting rule using VOFM (you need access key to get here). Here you define comparisions for the fields at header table and item tables and the comparision fields say SPART"division". "purchase order "BSTKD Instance: 5 sales orders combined into 2 deliveries and the split at the invoice would be 5 individual billing with respect to fields PO and DIv. of each sales order would let you create 5 billings. You need to define the exact "field" in the comparisions both at header and item level that could lead to invoice split. the key here is the field that is different
from header to item will cause split at the item level.
5. Can any one explain how we will configure milestone billing , periodic billing and which scenario we will use?
Menu path:
IMG->sales &distr->Billing->billing plans->define billing plan types.
You set the start date and end dates if applicable to the type of billing you are using. What time to be billed (end of month, start of month etc..)
Milestone is a billing plan type where a customer is billed for the amount distributed between the dates until total value is reached eg: if the total billing amountis 1000 USD for a year. You will bill the customer in different amounts say 200, 500, 300 at different intervals as per customer agreement.
On the other hand Periodic billling is billing the customer for the total amount(here 1000 USD) at regular intervals peridically until the customer agreement is reached. eg: 1000/12 for a 1 year agreement and say billed at the 1st day of every month.
6. What are some pricing routines and sd functional specs?
Form routines for prcing and variuos other functions can be maintained form routines are something todo with ABAP code.
Go to (VOFM) where all requrements whcih are represented by form routines can be maintained. Requrements are available to be assigned where access sequenses are used (for determination procedures, here pricing).
Once the tcode VOFM is accessed you will see requrements and go select "pricing" again you need access key to create your own or copy a routine.
Say you want header price not to have effect the item pricing, you need to go to the program to change abap code to meet the requirement. this specific requirement you created will be assigned in the pricing proc. determination "requirements field"
usaully with a number beyond 600. Note: make sure you activate your routine for its effect to take place.
