    Condition Type Attributes
    Impact of PA Combination
    Lesson Learned

    2
    Background
    Configuration of SAP SD pricing is
    one of the most COMPLEX area in
    SAP Projects.
    It is important to know how the
    pricing attributes combination
    works else it takes lot of time for
    consultant to arrive at the best
    combination.
    INCORRECT COMBINATION
    results in defects after GO LIVE &
    higher Project Cost.

    3
    Objective
     Consultants learn RIGHT USE of SAP SD pricing
    configuration over a period of time depending on
    the SAP Project exposure.

     The presentation aims to improve the knowledge of


    the consultants to know the best combination of
    pricing attributes & SAVE TIME on the project OR
    reduce the possibility of the defects arising in later
    phase of the SAP Projects.

     NO VALIDATION IS AVAILABLE IN SAP FOR


    WRONG DESIGN OF PRICING ATTRIBUTES.

     The presentation FOCUS on improving the


    knowledge of COMBINATION of pricing
    attributes & NOT the literal meaning of the
    definitions.

    Pricing Attributes (PA)
     Attributes of pricing
    Procedure
     Manual
     Required
     Statistics

     Attributes of Condition
    Type
     Manual Entries
     Delete
     Amount/percentage
     Value
     Access Sequence

    5
    Pricing Procedure Attributes
     Manual
     In sales order pricing, Condition type can
    be typed manually or can be seen in
    condition type column in drop down list
     Required
     It is mandatory that condition type must be
    available in sales order pricing.
     Statistics
     The value of the condition type is not
    included in NET VALUE of the sales order.

    6
    Condition Type Attributes
    7
     Manual Entries
     Decide the priority for condition type entered manually or automatic
    determination in sales order.
     Delete
     Indicate the control of condition type deletion from the sales order
    pricing.
     Amount/percentage
     Controls the changes of the amount or percentage in sales order pricing
    for condition type.
     Value
     Controls the Condition value in sales order pricing.
     Access Sequence
     Access sequence in condition type helps to determine the price in sales
    order pricing
    Impact of Pricing Attributes
    combination
    Combination of attributes

    Pricing Procedure Condition type Impact


    Manual Manual Entries – Option D = Sales Order can not be processed for
    Not possible to process condition type. WRONG CONFIGURATION
    manually
    NONE SELECTED Manual Entries – Option C = Sales order Value is determined from
    Manual entry has priority + condition record CAN NOT BE CHANGED.
    access record is maintained (It make sense to use Amount/% or Value
    attribute as well from condition type)
    Manual Manual Entries – Option B = Sales Order can not be processed for
    Automatic entry has priority condition type. WRONG CONFIGURATION

    NONE SELECTED Manual Entries – Option B = Record is determined in sales order but
    Automatic entry has priority & values can not be changed. WRONG
    Amount/% or Value is selected. CONFIGURATION

    Just definition of pricing attributes does not help ! The


    combination drives the RESULT/IMPACT 8
    Impact of Pricing Attributes
    combination
    Combination of attributes

    Pricing Procedure Condition type Impact


    NONE SELECTED Manual Entries – Option D = System does not allow to delete the
    Not possible to process condition in sales order. WRONG
    manually & Choose “DELETE” CONFIGURATION
    Manual Manual Entries – Option = No System allows to delete the Condition type
    Limitation & Choose DO NOT from sales order. WRONG ONFIGURATION
    “DELETE”
    NONE SELECTED Select option B OR D in WRONG CONFIGURATION
    manual entries without
    ACCESS SEQUENCE

    Just definition of pricing attributes does not help ! The


    combination drives the RESULT/IMPACT 9
    Lesson Learned
     Just Knowing the definition of the
    attributes do not help.
     It is must to know how attributes
    change their behavior with the
    various combination
     Use the above table to learn & SAVE
    Your project time/cost
     MOST INTERESTING – SAP does
    not validate this configuration &
    consultants do mistakes. TAKE THE
    BENEFIT NOW
