-- PricingPricing --
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 price
final price = gross price - discounts + surcharges +
taxes
Cost-plus pricing determines the base cost and
applies the appropriate discounts, surcharges and
taxes
final 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 ($)

by customer or material
sort the orders according to priority
assign available stock to outstanding orders or reassign
confirmed quantities to high-profile orders

Rescheduling
updates the orders with the results of the availability
check
can be used to manage the distribution of available
inventory when demand is greater than supply
Best if run in batch mode, rescheduling can be very
time consuming
