Pricing is an important part of SAP, especially SAP Sales and Distribution. The SAP Pricing is based on Condition Technique. The word technique we use very often in our daily life but in SAP the Word Technique in SAP pricing always means prerequisite to determine the pricing based on some predefined conditions. The predefined conditions (based on Company needs) are stored in a sequential manner in a Table which called Condition Table , the Condition Tables are assigned to the Sequence and those sequence are assigned to a Condition Type and then the Procedure and the Condition Record. I will describe all these areas of configuration in this white paper.

The pricing in SAP follows a determination based on the Document Pricing Procedure , Customer Pricing Procedure and the Sales Area. Before designing any pricing procedure we have to understand the business process of the Company. The word business process I used because each and every pricing elements in the SAP process is very crucial and any wrong design in SAP Pricing  will have a financial impact for the Company.

Condition Technique for Pricing

As I said earlier that SAP Pricing uses a Condition Technique that means the SAP Pricing will follow certain Table, Sequence , Condition Type , Determination and a Record.

Condition Table

The pricing Condition Tables are a place where we maintained the combination of fields we  maintain the Condition Record. We will cover the Condition Record later in this paper. While arranging the fields in the Condition Table we have to consider the sequence of priority.

The Configuration Of Pricing Condition Table can be found under Sales and Distribution > Basic Function > Pricing > Price Control > Define Condition Table….

Before creating any new Condition Table we have look ,  to what extend we can use the existing Condition Table. To view the existing condition tables we can use the Display Condition Table oppsion.

If the existing condition tables are not satisfying your organization needs then we have to create a new table. SAP is existing tables are already numbered from 0001 to 500 so if we want to create a new condition table we have to create from 501 to 999. Before creating any new table we have to check the fields mentioned in Conditions: Allowed fields is available or not if not the Create a new Filed by using the New Entries tab , keep in mind we only can add fields from table KOMG, KOMK and KOMP.

ü  Enter any number between 501 to 999 with a name Description.

ü  Always suggestible to Copy the existing table and create the own table.

ü  Select the required fields for the condition table from the list permitted fields in the field catalog.

ü  Generate the Condition Table.

ü  Save the Condition table.
