Pricing
• “World-class” functionality
• Highly customizable & extendible
• One of the most complex features of SAP
• Used to determine the net price for a material or an order
Pricing Process
• Standard pricing calculates the gross price,
then applies discounts, surcharges and
applicable taxes to arrive at the final pricefinal price = gross price - discounts + surcharges + taxes
• Cost-plus pricing determines the base cost and applies the appropriate discounts, surcharges and taxesfinal price = cost - discounts + surcharges + taxes
Pricing Components
• Pricing is based on a matrix of predefined and custom elements
• Delivered element groups (a.k.a. conditions)– Prices
– Discounts & Surcharges
– Freight
– Taxes
Pricing Procedure
• In short, the mechanism used to arrive
at the final price
• Considers all of the applicable pricing
conditions, e.g. material price, customer
discount
• Is assigned by: sales area, sold-to party
and sales document type (e.g. sales
order)
Pricing Procedure
• The pricing procedure uses what SAP calls
“the condition technique”.
• The pricing condition technique starts with
the:
– Pricing Procedure which looks at
– Conditions which use
– Access Sequences which accesses
– Condition tables which point to
– A price, discount or other condition ($)
