SAP SD Pricing – Questions & Answers

1. Why do we assign a condition type in transaction OVKK, and what is its significance in SAP SD Pricing?

2. What is the function of the Exclusion Indicator in SAP SD pricing?

  • The Exclusion Indicator prevents SAP from applying a condition if another condition is met.
  • Helps in condition comparison (e.g., Best of two discounts).

3. What is the common transaction code (T-Code) used for pricing configuration in SAP?

  • Most Common T-Codes:
    • VOKO
    • V/06 – Condition Type Configuration
    • V/08 – Pricing Procedure Configuration
    • VK11 – Condition Record Maintenance

4. What is a condition supplement, and how is it used in SAP SD pricing?

  • A condition supplement is an additional condition that applies automatically when a primary condition is met.
  • Example: A base price (PR00) includes a mandatory surcharge (KP00).
  • Supplements are maintained in VK11.

5. What is Condition Update, and how does it impact pricing?

  • Condition Update allows SAP to limit condition usage based on specific criteria (e.g., quantity, value, or time period).
  • Ensures promotional discounts apply only within defined limits.
  • Once the limit is reached, the discount automatically stops.
  • T-Code: V/06 → Condition Type → Activate Condition Update

6. Does SAP restrict the number of orders in a condition update?

  • Yes, SAP can restrict the number of orders using condition updates.
  • Example: A discount (10% off) applies only for the first 100 orders. Once the limit is reached, the system ignores the condition.

7. Which Info Structure is used for the Condition Update process?

  • S074 is the standard Info Structure used for condition updates in SAP.

8. What happens if the “Group Condition” indicator is checked in pricing?

  • If Group Condition is checked, SAP applies the pricing condition based on the total quantity across all items in the order.
  • Useful for bulk discounts and cumulative pricing.
  • Example: Buy 100 units across multiple items, get a 5% discount on the total.

9. What is a Group Condition Routine, how many routines exist, and what is their purpose?

  • A Group Condition Routine defines how a group condition is calculated in pricing.
  • Used for volume-based pricing.
  • There are multiple routines available in V/08 (Pricing Procedure).
  • Common Routine Examples:
    • 1 – Overall Document
    • 2 – Across all condition types, etc.

10. What is Rounding Difference Comparison, and why is it relevant in pricing?

  • Rounding Difference Comparison ensures that pricing rounding differences are handled correctly.
  • Avoids minor currency mismatches in invoices.
  • Helps maintain accurate price calculations.

Additional SAP SD Pricing Concepts

1. What is the Condition Technique in SAP, and what are its key components?

  • The Condition Technique is a framework used in SAP for pricing, free goods, output determination, etc.
  • Helps determine the correct price based on predefined rules.
  • Key Components:
    • Condition Table – Stores condition records.
    • Access Sequence – Searches for condition records.
    • Condition Type – Defines pricing elements (e.g., PR00, KO04).
    • Pricing Procedure – Defines the sequence of condition types.

2. What is an access sequence, and how does it determine pricing?

  • Access Sequence is a search strategy used to find the correct condition record from condition tables.
  • It searches step-by-step until it finds a valid condition record.
  • If a condition is found, the search stops (unless “Exclusive” is unchecked).
  • Used in pricing, free goods, output, and text determination.
  • T-Code: V/07

3. What happens if the “Exclusive” indicator in an Access Sequence is unchecked?

  • If “Exclusive” is unchecked, SAP will continue searching through all access levels, even if it finds a valid condition record.
  • Multiple condition records may be considered.
  • Useful if you want SAP to check all possible pricing records and apply the most relevant ones.

4. What happens if the “Exclusive” indicator in an Access Sequence is checked?

  • If “Exclusive” is checked, SAP will stop searching as soon as it finds the first valid condition record.
  • Improves performance by reducing unnecessary searches.
  • Only the first valid condition record is applied.
  • Best Practice: Use “Exclusive” when you only want one valid condition to be applied.

5. What is a Condition Table, and how does it store pricing data?

  • A Condition Table is a database table that stores condition records based on key combinations (e.g., Customer + Material, Sales Org + Material Group).
  • Condition records are created in VK11.
  • T-Codes:
    • V/03 (Create)
    • V/04 (Change)
    • V/05 (Display)

6. What happens if a Condition Table is saved in a local object?

  • If a Condition Table is saved in a local object, it will not be transportable to other SAP systems (e.g., from Development → Quality → Production).
  • Works only in the current system.
  • Best Practice: Always assign it to a transport request for system-wide availability.

7. In which type of request is a Condition Table stored in SAP?

  • A Condition Table is stored in a Workbench Request, which allows it to be transported across SAP landscapes (Development → Quality → Production).
  • T-Code to check transport request: SE09 / SE10

8. What is the Field Catalogue in SAP SD Pricing, and why is it important?

  • The Field Catalogue is a predefined list of fields available for creating Condition Tables.
  • Ensures only relevant fields are used in pricing conditions.
  • Helps in customizing price determination without modifying SAP tables.

9. What happens if a required field is not available in the Field Catalogue?

  • If a field is missing from the Field Catalogue, you must add it manually to the pricing structures.

10. What is the purpose of the Condition Index in pricing determination?

  • The Condition Index enables faster searching of condition records across different condition tables.
  • Helps in reporting & analysis of pricing data.
  • Can be activated in condition type settings (V/06).
  • Useful for searching expired or obsolete pricing records.
  • T-Code: V/06 (Access Sequence) → Set Condition Index
