Hello Babu Rao,
A Pricing report basically helps to get the list of all the pricing details which we have maintained in the system. We can get details of all the condition types including the scales. We can get the details as per our requirement i.e., Sales org/Dc/Division/Plant /material etc wise. The selection criteria would be as per the Key combination which you select in the IMG screen
You get following information from pricing report.
1. It informs you about the customer specific price agreements that were made within a certain period
2. From pricing report you can know which condition records exist for freight charges
3. Which condition records exist for customers in a particular region or country
u can create your own pricing reports with V/LA.
Also
V/LD is very useful. This can be customized.
The sales personnel use it to
1. get information for price (discounts) that existed at previous period (Say June 2005)
2. Inform potential buyer about the current price (and discounts)
3. Review price and discounts.
Though all the above T Codes and there are many More standard SAP Reports  have very high utility, it is not widely used. Clients prefer customised reports when it comes to pricing reports - all Z programs and Transactions.
These kind of reports are generally required by the Top Management for periodical review // Finance team for price control // Master data team for record purposes // Process audits by Internal/external agency // Of late, for every SOX audit done in the company...especially the change records for prices.
Reward if its helpful..
Thanks
