You can characterize the individual elements of pricing concisely as follows:
- Condition table
The condition table defines the key fields of the condition records.
- Access sequence
The access sequence contains the hierarchy for the condition record access.
- Condition type
The condition type represents the properties of the pricing conditions.
- Pricing procedure
The pricing procedure defines how the condition types are linked.
- Procedure determination
The procedure determination selects the correct pricing procedure.
To solve particular problems, build and link all the pricing components creatively.
Meeting particular pricing requirements may require one or more new pricing components. Understanding the purpose and capabilities of each component and the relationship between pricing components is critical to meeting pricing requirements.
Pricing Elements for Complex Scenarios
The following elements may be necessary to implement pricing elements for complex scenarios:
- New fields for pricing
Create new fields to meet customer requirements.
- Requirements
Define dependencies and improve performance.
- Formulas
Expand the limits of standard configuration to meet unique user-specific requirements.
You can add new fields to the pricing field catalog. This allows you to use the new field to define any condition table.
Requirement routines and formulas provide a method for modifying the standard pricing logic to meet unique user requirements.
SAP provides tools to create these pricing elements. You can access these tools in Customizing.
